along the custom house wharf, where
three steamers are unloading.
Will Defend Tampico
While there is good reason to be-
lieve that the rebels investing Tampico
will reject any proposal to ally them
selves with the federals for the pur-
pose Of resisting any possible Amer
lean aggression there is some uncer-
tainty as to what course the federals
would pursue in such an eventuality.
General Zaragosa, the federal COM
mander. has made public announce
ment of his determination to defend
Tampico to the last. On the other
hand he is reported to have said to a
friend last Friday that opposition to
American advance would be quite
hopeless; that he would only make a
feeble show of defense sufficient to
satisfy the demands of honor and then
evacuate the city. General Zaragosa' s
force iss not believed to exceed 1000
men.
Consid ering the federal situation
from the standpoint of rebel attack,
defend Tampico indefinitely. The fed
erals are well supplied with artillery
of which the rebels have none. The
rebel attacks hitcherto have never
been sbilfully directed and they al
ways have been futile.
The sanitary conditions at Tampice
are bad. The water supply is scant
and to large measure polluted.

BENEFIT FOOLS
So Says New York Clergyman in Alumni
Chapel Sermon at New
Haven.

New Haven. Conn, Feb. "a Before
the Yale alumni, returned for the first
alumni university day in the history Of
the college, the Rev. Dr. Henry Sloane
Caffin, Yale '07, of New York, in Battell
chapel yesterday said that in the strug-
gle to produce average men at Yale
those of unusually marked tendencies or
ability are sacrificed to the raising Of
the intelligence of the fools. He added
in substance as follows;
"There are always some men who
make fools of themselves wherever they
are, but in college it is often the case
that the fool of freshman year under
goes metamorphosis by which he be-
comes the sophisticated and level headed
senior. The standards are always such
as TO produce average men, and while it
is true and commendable that the fools
are advanced mentally, it is also true
and as deplorable that the super-average
man is reduced to the normal 1t is this
which prevents MS here at Yale from
turning out more men of the first order.
IF a man has a decided leaning
towards the ministry he must be uncon-
yentional enough 10 brave his estima-
tion in the eyes of his fellow students
as fool. What is inside this half sane,
half insane world of ours that we must
dare to be fools for Christ's sake? ~

Aided by Presidents Views,
the Subcommittee
Begins
DRAFT OF TRADE
COMMISSION BILL
Only Big Business to Be
Subject to Trade
Commission

Washington. Feb. 24--The work of
drafting an interstate trade commission
bill for the administration trust legisla-
ton programme was undertaken yester-
day by House interstate commerce
subcommittee. Representative Coying-
ton of Maryland, the chairman, fur
nished data for use as the basis of the
draft, put together after careful study,
and a conference with President Will
son. The views of the president who
has Indicated that the trade commission
bill is first in Importance among the
proposed measures-are expected to pre-
vail in the bill.
1t is proposed to have only the big
business subject to the Jurisdiction of
the trade commission; but how limit
shall be fixed still is an open question.
The president has suggested the diff
Guilty of framing a limitation in terms
of dollars and that it might be i'm
practicable to exempt all concerns under
$5,000,000 capitalization from the COM
missions inquisitorial powers.
Some Of the main provisions likely to
be embodied in the subcommittee
draft Of the bill. it is understood, win
require.
That all corporations, joint stock COM
panies, and corporate combines subject
to the terms of the bill report annually
all required information and to answer
specifically all questions the commission
may ask at any time.
That failure to comply within thirty
days of the required time be deemed a
misdeameanor, subject to a fine not ex
ceeding $1,000 for every day of the fail
ure to comply.
That upon its own initiative or
upon reasonable complaint by any per-
son or corporation or firm, the COM
mission may" and upon the attorney
generals request SHALL" investigate the
conduct, and management
of any concern subject to its iurisdic-
ton; and If any such is found violating
the law, the commission shall report to
the attorney general, setting forth these
acts and practices, and what conduct
and readjustment OF business is neces
sary for the offending concern to con-
tinue business.
That il the commission during an in
vestigation obtains information concern
ing unfair competition and practices not
necessarily violative of then existing
law, it will report this information to
the president, upon whose direction
alone IL viii be made public.
That courts be authorized, in any
equity suit brought at the instance OF
the attorney general, to refer, either
during progress of the cause or after
Judgment, to the commission any aspect
Of the litigation or any proposed decree,
the commission to report its findings to
the court to become part of the record
in the cause.
That the commission have, as to all
these concerns, the same power and au-
thority as the present law confers on
the interstate commerce commission as
10 railroads and other common carriers
including the right to subpoena wit
nesses and compel the production of doc
imentary evidence and administering of
paths.

If BACK HURTS USE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat if Kidneys Feel Like
Lead or Bladder Bothers YOU
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged
and need flushing occasionally, else we
have backache and dull misery in the
kidney region, severe headaches, rheu-
matte twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach,
sleeplesness and all sorts of bladder dis
orders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in theekidney re-
gion, get about four ounces Of Jad Salts
from any good drug store here, take a
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast for few days, and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity
1t also neutralizes the acids in the urine
so it no longer initiates, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kidneys
clean, thus avoiding serious compiled
tions.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who be.
lieye in overcoming kidney trouble while
it is only trouble.--Adyt.

MAKES BACKACHE
QUICKLY DISAPPEAR
A Few Doses Relieve All Such
Miseries--Bladder Weakness,
Kidney Trouble and Rheu-
matism Promptly Vanish

II is no longer necessary for anyone
TO suffer with backaching, kidney trou-
Bile, have dsagreeable bladder and uri-
nary disorders to contend with, or be
tortured with rheumatism, stiff joints,
and its heart-wrenchings pains, for the
new discovery, Croxone, quickly and
surely relieves all such troubles.
Croxone is the most wonderful rem
edy yet devised for Kidding the system
OF uric acid and driving out all the poi
sonous impurities which cause such
troubles. 1t Is entirely different from
all other remedies. 1t is not like any
thing else ever used for the purpose.
II acts on the principle OF cleaning out
the poisons and removing the cause.
1t soaks right in through the walls,
membranes and Innings, like water in a
sponge, neutralizes, dissolves, and makes
the kidneys SIT out and filter away all
the uric acid and poisons form the blood
and leaves the kidneys and urinary or
gains clean, strong, healthy and well.
1t matters not how long you have suf-
fered, how old you are, or what you
have used, the very principle OF Crox-
one is such that it is practically impos-
sible to take it into the human system
without results. There is nothing else
on earth like it. 1t starts to work the
minute You take it and relieves you the
first time you use it.
II you suffer with pains in your back
and sides, or have any signs of kidney,
bladder troubles, or rheumatism, such as
puffy swellings under the eyes or in the
feet and ankles, if you are nervous,
tired, and run down, or bothered with
urinary disorders, Croxone will quickly
relieve You of your misery. You can
secure an original package of Croxone
at trifing cost from any first-elass drug
gist. All druggists are authorized to
return the purchase pirce if
it fails in a single case.Adyt.

5000 SQUARE MILES EXPLORED.
Alaskan Regions Investigated by Geo.
logical Men.

The conclusion reached as a result
OF the six years exploration in the
Yukon Tanana region, Alaska, by l.. NJ.
Prindle, have been published by the
United States geological survey in bull
letin 525. At first glance the reader
might be led to believe that the results
are not commensurate with the time
spent in the survey, but it should be
understood that the area explored is
nearly 5000 square miles and that the
number of days spent on the work was
less than ESQ. Considerable time was
spent in investigatingssthe region ada
cent to Fairbanks, as the extensive min
ing operations in that vicinity yield
much information concerning the distri-
button of the alluvial gold
IL has been found that the placer-gold
reserves of the Fairbanks district, even
II only those deposits that can be mined
by methods now in use are considered
are still very large There are, however,
still larger deposits of auriferous grav-
els whose content of gold is so small
that they can be proftably handled only
by improved methods in mining. These
facts and the existence within the dis
trict of extensive alluyial deposits,
which have not been thoroughly pros
pected., make the outlook for placer
mining in the region exceedingly hopeful
IL is therefore by no means certain that
the placer-mining industry will continue
to decline as it has declined in the last
two years. A large extension of the in
dustry in this field can be brought about
only by lessening the operating costs
through improved means of eommunica-
ton.
As compared with alhyial mining, the
Undermining operations have been insig
niicant and have yielded no great body
of facts upon which to base conclusions
as to the persistence of the lodes. The
facts presented in the report, however,
show that the geologic conditions on the
whole appear to be favorable to the oc-
ourrence of lode deposits and that these
are not limited to the localities near
Fairbanks which have been prospected.

MORE MONEY INTO BIG DITCH
Cocktails Wants s2s,ooo,ooo for the Next
Years Work on Canal.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Col Goethals,
Panama canal engineer, was yesterday
invited before the House appropriations
committee to discuss appropriations need
ed to finish the "big ditch" Goethals
will make his annual request for funds.
For work next year he estimates that
S23,770,000 will be needed, as compared
with over Sl6,O00,000 provided this year.
Completion OF projects at Balboa, the
Pacific terminus of the canal incIud-
ing railroad extensions, docks, yards, a
breakwater, Golfers and shipping and
railroad shops, require increased appro-
priations, Goethals declares. Bridging
and blasting to put final touches on the
canal viii also require large force in
definitely.
