MITCHELL TO BE MADE HEAD, IN
GOMPERSI PI AHE0

Seattle, WASH, Nov. 17.-That
John Mitchell, former leader of the
United Mine Workers, will be elected
president of the American Federation
of Labor, if Samuel Gompers retires;
was the geenral belief today among
delegates to the federation conven-
ton in session here. .. - ..-
Many predict that Gompers will
not stand for reelection, but will an
nounce retirement in order to de-
vote his time to writing a history of
the labor movement. Many of his
friends are urging him to begin such
an historical work while there is yet
time"
Should Gompers retire he would
undoubtedly be made editor of the
American Federationist and of the
Weekly News Letter sent out by the
federation. ...-..
John Walker, president of the ILL
nois United Mine Workers, is openly
campaigning for Mitchell. Mitchell
himself refuses to discuss the matter.

and by bus the summer boarders
have taken over the old homestead,
the dear old homestead with it's CO.
lonial architecture, its early Veto
rian furniture and it's genuine Mo-
hawk Indian plumbing.
Summer boarders go back to the
old farm for recuperation, for invig-
Grating country air, for strictly fresh
eggs, milk hot off the press and tur-
nips fresh from the vines. Well, they
get the recuperatiOn if they can go
to sleep against the mosquitoes and
the katydid symphony orchestra,
not to mention the BOOSTERS and hill
romping freight trains of the morn
ing hours. They get the invigorat-
ing country air, except during those
social evenings in the parlor, with
the wheezy organ and the album
the parlor that is never opened ex-
cept for funerals, summer boarders
and other sad occasions.
But as for the fresh, 1913 eggs and
other Wanted eatables- a
boarder is only boarder and must
not be considered when the shippers
are yelping to supply the city hotel
trade. So the poor summer boarder
sits down to an appetizing Sunday
dinner, the piece de resistance of
which is G. A. r. chicken nibbled
as easily as rubber on bicycle tire.
And in the city, poor, forlorn fam
lies who can't really afford vaca-
ton are enduring the tender white
meat Of perfectly good poultry.

SUMNER BoARDERS
Summer boarders rank just under
dollar wheat in the list of this coun-
try's farm resources. -,
The bumper crop of summer
boarders grows more bumperish year
by year, and the net profits from this
harvest increase with greater knOwl-
edge of scientific feeding, rotation of
canned goods and intensive crowd
ing into attic bedrooms.
If the corn output has saved mil
lions of farmers from bankruptcy,
then summer boarders have saved
them from the hardship of doing
without automobiles.
A few years ago there was much
agitation on the topic:
what shall be done with aban-
doned New England farms?"
Immigrants with a perception of
making two cabbages grow where
one bowlder bloomed before have
partly solved the problem. But sum-
mer boarders have triumphantly
done the rest.
Old farms, abandoned to the gloat-
ings of frogs and crickets- farms so
utterly fatigued that an agricultural
professor couldn't raise a cotton UNI
brella on 'em-have been turned
over to the pleasures and devices of
summer boarders. AS a result the
bank notes are heaping up for the
farm jewellers like wounded football
athletes in September, By storm

MISSOURI WINS TWO
CENT PASSENGER RATE
OVerCharges Estimated to Be in
Excess Of Ten Millions.

Kansas City, Dec. 22.-The state of
Missouri won final victory in the
2-cent railroad passenger and maxi
mum freight rate cases when Judge
Smith Mcpherson of Red Oak, Ia., fol-
lowing the mandate of. the United
States supreme court, dismissed
without prejudice" the cases filed by
thirteen railroads enjoining the state
from enforcing the rate laws. The
higher court sustained the validity of
both laws and ordered the cases dis
missed.
Judge Mcpherson also refused to re-
tain jurisdiction in the federal court,
as asked by the roads. AS a result
shippers and travellers may bring suit
to cover excess rates paid during the
time the injunctions were in force
These charges are estimated to be in
excess of $10,000,0O0. Judge McPher-
son ordered costs aggregating $4,000
assessed against the railroads.

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take glass Ct Salts before breakfast
if your Back hurts or Bladder is
... is troubling you.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally
says well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which excites the
kidneys, they become overworked
from the strain, get sluggish and fail
to filter the waste and poisons
from the blood, then we get sick.
Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache
in the kidneys or your back HURTS.
or if the urine is cloudy, offensive,
full Of sediment, irregular of pass
age or attended by sensation Of
scalding, stop eating meat and get
about four ounces Of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy; take tablespoon in
glass of water before breakfast
and in afew days your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate the kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation thus ending
bladded weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful ef-
fervescent lithia-water drink which
everyone should take now and thehn
to keep the kidneys clean and actice
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.

Agreement for Dissolution

FEDERAL SUIT PENDING
Separation Of American Telephone

Western Union May Remove Dan.
ger Of Government Ownership.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The great
est antitrust victory of President
Wilson's administration thus far
the voluntary dissolution of the SO
called telephone trust-commanded
the attention of all administration Of
ficials.
Next to the fact that all the fea-
lures against which the government
was preparing an antitrust suit will
be eliminated with the consent and
cooperation Of big business" itself,
without years of court fighting, the
principal topic of discussion in ad-
ministration circles was what effect
will the dissolution have on the
movement for government owner
ship?
1t has been generally expected in
congress that such a plan would soon
be urged as an administration meas
ure.
With the voluntary dissolution of
the so called trust actually under
way, however, Attorney General Nc
Reynolds and the interstate CON-
merce commission prepared to scan
the details of the separation of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company from the Western Union
and the work of disentangling tele-

Not to Extend Monopoly.
Not only has the American Tele.
phone and Telegraph company agreed
to give up it's control of the Western
Union, but it has agreed not to ex-
tend it's monopoly Of local companies
in the telephone field.
But the most important point to
the American people, officials declare,
is the telephone companys agree
ment to extend the use of it's toll
lines to all local companies
That concession, which was admit
tedly more than Attorney General
McReynolds expected to procure IN
a legal fight, opens long distance ia.
cllities by telephone to many COM
munities which have long been denied
it.
Representative Lewis Of Maryland,
author of the parcel post law and &C.
tive in the movement for government
ownership of telegraph and telephone
lines, introduced a resolution, how
ever, to direct the house postoffice
committee to go ahead and report a
bill for government ownership of tele.
phone lines to be operated by the
postoffice department.
'The action of the Bell company
will not reduce single telephone or
telegraph rate in the United States
and so the public necessities for leg

been in nearly all other countries, are
not affected in the least" he said

BR|TTON IN GARDEN
Big Match Finally Clinched by
Gibson for First Week
in March.

| NEW YORK. January 29.-The much
! talked-of match between the star light
weights, Packey Mcfarland and Jack

Manager William Gibson reached an
agreement with them which calls for a

AS announced yesterday. three local
clubs were after the match. The Forty
fourth Street Sporting Club and the En-
pire A. c. each offered Mcfarland 5000
in cash for his signature to articles of
agreement. Dan Morgan. Britton'S man.
ager. stood ready to box at either of these
clubs, although he previously had agreed
to accept the terms of the Garden A. &.
1t was up to Gibson, therefore. to secure
Mcfarland. so yesterday afternoon he
raised Packey in Chicago on the long
distance phone.

What terms can YOU Offer" asked
Mcfarland.
"A siX-thousand- dollar guarantee or 80
per cent of the gross was the reply
I'll accept" retorted Packey, but /
cannot box until early in March because
of other engagements.
"Tu arrange a date the first week of
that month";" was Gibson'S response.
"Hows that?"

The New Spring Suits Here

in the public schools through visits to
the homes to impress upon parents the
need for following the instructions of the
inspectors. Many parents doubtless would
be glad to have their children treated by
family dentists If they were properly i'm
pressed with the need of such attention
for their children. For those unable to
pay. provision should be made at dental
dispensares.
A request was presented from the COM
mittee on civics and sanitation of the
Housekeepers' Alliance for the co-Opera-
ton of the association in an attempt to
secure an ordinance to prevent expecto-
ration on the floors of public markets.
and to support the crusade for wrapped
bread. The association appointed a COM
mittee to confer with the Housekeepers'
Alliance on the subject.

Against Further Reduction.

The railroad company feels that as no
increase of rates was made when free
delivery was instituted, as there has been
a reduction in the rates concerned since
the practice has been in vogue. and as
the expensive improvements referred to
have added extensively to the facilities
provided for the use of the public. there
should not now be any further reduction
in freight rates.
the railroad company also desires it
to be understood that ii is its purpose TO
further add to its freight facilities in
Washington. with a view to still provid-
ing for the convenience of its patrons
Such improvements probably will include
the construction of another new freight
station.

Children's Teeth Defective.

DR.. w. c. Killinger. dental inspector of
the white public schools, reported that
in the short time since he began his in
vestigations he lad examined 1883 school
children. OF these 94S had been found to
have cavities in the teeth, these cavities
numbering All in all. Four hundred and
thirty-nine teeth needed extraction. Not
few OF the children required treatment
by specialists to straighten or otherwise
remove and correct malformations The
work already done demonstrated the need
for greater attention on the part Of
school authorities and parents to the
teeth of school children. He believed that
school nurses would increase the eff
