weeks ago a committee from the Tri-
City Federation OF Labor requested the
council TO appeal the near side stop
ordinance. The condition OF streets
in Indictment weather was the reason
urged in asking the repeal. In order to
ascertain how citizens OF the city feel
toward the new regulation the coun-
ell decided to give patrons of street
cars a chance to be heard before re-
pealing the ordinance. Many street

RENEW
 DEADLY ERUPTIONS
Fresh Activities on Japanese Islands Are Accompanied by
 Earthquakes

Kagoshima, Japan, Jan. 19.-Fresh eruptions of the volcano of Sakura- Jima, which recently caused such wide spread devastation, occurred today. They were accompanied by earthquak- es and violent subterranean noises.
 The governor of Hokkaido today estimates that about 300,000 people on the Island of Kiu-Shiu will need relief and that $3,500,000 will be required. Three hundred refugees from Saku- ra were buried under falling cliff in a neighboring village today. One hun dred bodies have been recovered.
 The new disaster is result of the volcanic eruptions and earthquakes that for a week have devastated the island of Sakura and made wreck of this city The eruptions and earth quakes continue, but with activity much subdued.
 Before the latest eruptions this city was rapidly recovering from the com plete prostration which followed the eruption of Sakura-J -Jima. Train ser vice had been restored and in the busi- ness district many of the stores had been partially reopened. The postal and telegraph services were carried on in tents. Soldiers are bivouacked in the streets and parties of bluejack- cts from the Japanese cruisers are searching the ruins.
 The village of Shigetoki and Kali Xxi, ten miles inland, suffered severely in the catastrophe.
 No estimate can yet be made of the casualties.

THE FREIGHT CLAIMS

1t seems to us that there is some tbing radically wrong about the sys- fem of adjusting and paying the claims for refund on freight bills filed
 ooainst the Iron Mountain and Cot ton Belt Railroads. Now for more than six months the shippers of the state have been preparing and filing claims with the special master. Of course now that the time for filing has expired, the people generally want to know when they will get their claims paid. The master says that he has no idea. That it will first be nec- essarv for the court to order them maid. after they have been audited of course. How many exceptions to the reports of the master may we expect and how much more time will it take to decide and pass on these exceptions if any, and who will do it. Why should not the special mas ter have the power to adjust all of these things himself and pay them ? It seems to us that it is an unwar
 ranted delay in closing the rate liti- |gation.

In many lines. 1t depends almost en-

can be made almost automatic by the use
OF the famous Calumet Baking Powder.
Economy In baking. as every good cook
knows, depends not 20 much on economy
in buying the materials as on the success
Of her bakings. Failures mean waste
bigger losses by far than the savings she
makes In buying. And the fact that Caiu-
met absolutely prevents failures and
makes every baking successful has made
II the fayorite Of every cook that seeks
TO be economical. In other words, Calu-

Good Bowels Are
An Aid to Growth
Growing Children Need q Mid
Lax0fipe to F0sfer Regular
Bowel Movement.

As child grows older 1t requires
more and more personal attention
from the mother, and az the func-
tons Of the bowels are Of the utmost
Importance to health. great attention
should be paid to them.
Diet is OF great importance. and the
mother should watch the effect of GER
tain foods. A food will constipate one
and not another, and so we have a
healthy food like eggs causing bilious
ness to thousands, and wholesome
fruit like bananas constipating many.
1t is also to be considered that the
child is growing. and great changes
are taking place in the young man or
young woman. The system has not yet
settled itself to its later routine.
A very valuable remedy at this
stage, and one which every growing
boy and girl should be given often or
occasionally, according to the individ-
ual circumstances. is Dr.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. This is laxative and
tonic combined, SO mild that 1t is
given to little babies, and yet equally
effective In the most robust constitu-
ton. At the first sign Of tendency
to constipation give small dose Of
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring. and
prompt action will follow in the morn.
