Check the Symptoms
Of Lunl Trouble

One OF the many reasons why Lung
Trouble Is so difficult to fight Is because
the disease is often OF a very fIattering
nature. The patient may look well, but in
reality IS fast losing strength by con-
tinued night sweats, fever and cough.
These symptoms should be checked as
quickly as possible. Eekman's Alternative
Is beneficial in checking fever and night
sweats and 1t has brought about many
complete rec0Yerles. Read this caee:--

annoyances.

changing the constitution OF this state
was not an assuring factor. The con-
stant irritation at Washington also
prevents return of confidence. Rail
road earnings make an unsatisfactory
showing. The total of 80 railroads for
the third week Of March aggregated
S12, 100000, against $f3,600,O00 year
ago These figures do not indicate
any great loss in the volume of traf-
fie, but they fail to take in the large
increase in expenses ana consequent
loss in net results, which are unde-
niably heavy The increase of $4,000
in the number of idle cars on April
II is also suggestive OF traffic condi-
tions. Much of this decrease, howev-
er, was due to the disorganized state
Of traffic resulting from severe March
weater, and better results should be
expected from now on The most en-
couraging element in the situation was
the government crop report on winter
wheat indicating a ord-breaking
yield of about 100000 900 bushels. The
condition reported was 95,6, the high
est on record. In all probability there
will be more or less deterioration dur
ing the balance of the growing sea
son, but it is to be remembered that
the government estimates of acreage
and yield are usually below the
mark; so that if only ordinary dete-
rioration takes place, the country is
still reasonably sure of a big yield
of wheat, which is one of our most
profitable crops. Generally speaking,
the season is backward as to tenn
perature; but the soil in all parts of
the country is in unusually good con.
dition, and the absence of unseasor-
ably warm spells has prevented any
premature development and lessened
the danger of late frosts.
Te most effective support to the
market at this time is the certainty
of easy money for the next three or
four months. This ease is worldwide,
and will facilitate the placing Of many
issus which had been deferred for
more convenient periods. In Europe

Mothers Tel Of
Mothers Friend

Experience is or should be our best
teacher. Women who have obeyed the
highest and noblest OF all sacrifices, the
struggle for the life Of others, should
have a better idea Of helpful influence
than those who theorize from observation.
At any rate when a prospective grand
mother urges her daughter to do as she
did-to use Mothers Friend" there is
reason to believe It the right advice.
ssIothers Friend is an external ap-
piication for expectant mothers. It's pur-
pose is to furnish pIiancy to the muscles.

The outlook is still one that de-
mands more or less caution. 1t re-
mains true that conditions. are gen
orally sound, yet business is dull,
chiefly because of lack of confidence.
That lack of confidence is very large
ly due to general unrest, unsatisfac-
tory political conditions and the un-
certainty as to what branch Of bust
ness will next be subjected to some
form of disturbing government inter
ference. President Wilson is undoubt-

are indications of coming change

they should be, into some sort Of ef-

be conducted with caution until gen
eral Improvement can be detected in

AND COUNTRY WOULD PROS
PER IF THEY GOT 1T


New York, April 14.-Holidays and
bad news combined were circumstan-
ces which the stock market resisted
with difficulty last week. The London
stock market was closed from Friday
until Tuesday. The local exchange
was only closed for Good Friay, but
the large number of absentees during
Easter nturally exerted restraining
influence upon business. The market
was also further chilled by unexpect-
ed developments. A fresh shock came
in the arbitrary order for reduction
in the Canadian Pacific rates This
caused break of over points in
that stock and had an unfavorable
effect upon the general market, mas
much as it showed a further develop
ment in the idea Of governmental reg
ulation of traffic rates Another shock
came via Mexico, and was due to the
harsh treatment OF spaniards by the
revolutionists, which raised the pos
sibility of friction between the Uni
ted States and Spain or other foreign
governments under similar conditions.
There was one more unfavorable de-
velopment, and that was the extreme
dullness of the iron trade, it being
estimated that the industry is only
running at about 70 or 80 per cent of
capacity. New orders are scarce,
prices are unsettled and it is feared
that some sort of adjustment will
have to be made in wages, unless the
industry shows prompt and marked i'm
proyement. The latter, of course, de-
pends very largely upon the railroad
situation There is confident feel
ing prevailing that the Interstate
commerce commissioners are going to
grant an increase in freight rates, but
from such information as l can obtain
/ hardly think twill be the per cent
rate asked for by the railroads; and
as the commissioners themselves do
not originate freight rate advances,
they will intimate that a fresh appli-
cation, naming a lower rate will be
considered. There can be no Goubt
whatever that President Wilson favors
an increased rate, but he cannot even
suggest what rate should be named.
The per cent rate asked, therefore, is
not unlikely to be turned down; at the
same time encouragement viii be Civ
en- to make new application at al
lower rate, and this will probably take
place at an early date. OF course
the decision against the roads will be
attended with some disappointment,
but the intimation that a lower rate
will be granted will carry with it a
moral influence that will be very ef-
fective and lead to the impression that
should the lower rate not prove ann
pie, an additional one may be granted
later to make it 5 per cent, il abso
iutely needed by the railroads. "sufh-
cient unto the day is the evil there
Of" It is hoped the commissioners
will hasten their decision as rapidly
as possible The commissioners, be-
ing appointed by the president, are
comparatively free from political in
fluences; and should be guided more
by judicial than political or class con-
siderations.

CHOLERA CURES
Government Has Not \pprO ed AIRY
Treatment Except the PsOtec-

Evidence Of what appears to be a well
organized campaign - deludc farm pts
throughout the country into buying an
alleged cure for hog cholera, under the
impression that this has been irvesti-
gated and approved by the United States
Government, has reached the Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Articles praisina
this medicine. Bcretol by name, are
being sent o-t widespread to newspa-
pers. These articles are so worded that
# appears as II the Department of Agrl-
culture had received reports from the
State of Minnesota showing that the
medicine had proved most beneficial IA
matter of fact the one report received
by the Department was an unofficial
and unsolicited statement sent pre-
slmably from the promoters themselves.
The Department attaches no Importance
whatsoever to this statement, II has no
reason TO believe and does not recon-
mend any Under certain conditions It
urges farmers to protect their stock
with anti-hog-cholera serum but that is
all
In connection with this attempt il may
he said thtat the medicine, which is
no" put ior"dru as soou lot HoSs' was
advertised some time ago as means
of killing tuberculosis, typhoid and
cancer germs according to an article
published in the journal of the American
Medical Association, At that time II
was asserted that the Army was inter-
ested in it, AS a matter Of fact the Army
was no more interested then than the
Department of Agriculture Is now
In view of the evidence that the at
tempt to create this false impression
is persistent and widespread, all hog
owners are warned to communicate with
the United States authorities before ac-
cepting as true any statement that the
Government recommends any treatment
other than the serum already mention

The other day a Washingtonian receiv-
ed an inquiry from a friend in Boston
asking for information about two noun
tGinu in Alaska said to be named after
Senators Lodge and Root. Now, there
exists In the geological survey a
section known as the Alaskan division
and 1t is supposed to be familiar with
every fact about Alaska. The Washing
tonian called up that division and stated
his case Ie was met with the unquali-

division that no one in washington knew
any more about Alaska that they did

What was the surprise of the Washing

photographs of them The Coast and
