form of lime acts very slowly

it should be applied as soon a.

We don't say this in spirit of
envy or spite, but just to show
how congress wastes the reve-
nues by opening the public build
ing pork barrel. Up at De So
to, a city of perhaps 5000 people.
the government is preparing to
erect a postotfice building to cost
$6O.OOO. There is in all the town
not another business editice that
cost anywhere near such a sum.
There is perhaps not a man in
De Soto, were the new postof1ice
a private enterprise, who would
not say that a structure costing
one fourth of the amount the
government has appropriated for
it, would be sufficient in archi-
lecture. and adequate in capacity
for the city's requirements for a
generation to come. But, no:
the pork barrel" had to be dip
ped into and a $4,000 building
planted in a $4,000 town.

After the Profits.

A kick and d howl is being
raised by the railroads running
ont Of st. Louis because the Unit
ed States postal department is
planning to increase the parcel
post service without increasing
the money which it pays the rail
roads for hauling the mai,s. For
years before the parcel post be-
came d reality instead of dream.
1t was common talk that most of
the railroads were being paid ex-
orbitant prices by the govern
ment for hauling the mail, ana
that often mail was paid for that
wasn't even hauled. It seems
that the mall service is paid for
on the supposition that weigh
ings Of the mail, made .at stateo
intervals Of every month or so,
are an average of the weights
carried throughout the periods
intervening. Some of the muck
raking magazines have repeated
ly asserted that the government
mas been forced to pay thousands
of dollars overcharge because OF
a practice that some roads have
of sending excess mail along
their routes on weighing days
This may or may not be true in
every instance. Certain it is
that the railroads have in the
past been having pretty soft
job carrying the mails for short
sighted Uncle Samuei, who is a
notoriously poor business man.
Now that he mas some slim chance
Of making a little money out OF
the velvet" on which the ex-
press companies have formerly
fattened, the railroads immedi-
ately raise a roar about being
forced tOcarry mails at a loss
Being the c,ose relatives of the
express companies, they un-
doubtedly will do all they can to
cripple the parcel post. If at
the same time they do this, they
can add a good big slice to thei'
own profits, they will regard
themselves as being pretty
smart. Postmaster Burleson
should either ignore them or
show them some of his old re-
ceipts for mail service that was
never received. Missouri Rur-

The prosecution was based
upon the charge that the pro-
duct was nisbranded in making
claims that it was a specific for
consumption when. in fact, there
is no medical agent or mixture
Of medical ingredients known
that would cure that disease.
and, further, that the product
contained no ingredient capable
Of producing the therapeutic eff

This medicine had been manu-
factured by the Stramoline Com
pany, of Oklahoma City, Okla,
and shipped to Denver, where
many consumptives go to get
| the climatic benefits. with whom
, the product found a ready sale.
No defence was made to this
suit. This case is noteworthy
because it is the first brought
under the Food and Drugs Ac.

amendment, which makes it ar
offence to transport interstate
drug products which are brand

Good Country Roads
Pay For Themselves

The direct effect that changing
bad roads into good roads has
upon land values and marketing
prices, as wellaS the general eco
nomic welfare OF the community,
is shown in several concrete IL
Illustrations which were gathered
by the L. S. Department Of Ag-
riculture. In Lee County. Eir-
ginia, a farmer owned 100 acres.
which he offered to sell for $500.
In 1908 his road Was improved,
and although the farmer fought
the Improvement, he has since
refused $4,000 for his farm. A
nearby tract of 1Ss acres is
said to have been sold for s., 900
After road Improvement, the
same farm was sold for $4,000
In Johnson County, Alabama,
the people voted a bond issue
for $3.50, 900 for road improve
ment. The sellirg value at that
time was S6 to SO per acre The
selling price Is ,fn& from So tC

living at equal distance from g

Aha New York Board of Trade

ANha New York Board of Trade
dapted a resolution connemning
she practice of slaughtering
calves TO supply the increasing
demand tor baby beef" 1t is
alleged that this is one of the
causes of the high price of beef,
assuming that if the calves were
allowed to reach beef maturity
the larger beef supply would
keep dowrthe cost Of roasts and
steaks. But what can be done
about it? AS long as the people
are willing to pay big prices for
veal the butcher will slaughter
the calves, and as long as the
butcher offers the farmer his
price for the calf the farmer will
sell the calf. That is all there is
to it. and all the resolutions
against the practice will not help
to change it.
