And, finally, the News says: when
the owners of the automatic plant
consent to accept reasonable price
for their physical property the council
should sanction its sale to the Chi
cago Telephone company"
The point to all this is that the
News and other interests trying to
put this deal over are asking council
to give it's consent to the sale of the
Automatic to the Bell, knowing full
well that the telephone users of Chi
cago, and not the Chicago Telephone
company, WILL HAVE TO DIG

For the Chicago Telephone Co.,
under its franchise, will have the
right to add SIX MILLIONS to its
capitalization and RAISE TELE-

It means that council is asked to
tax the telephone users Of Chicago to
pay the interest on the SIX MIL
LIONS, to pay for a plant that will
be thrown on the junk pile as soon as
it is turned over to the phone trust.
1t means that the phone trust will

bit, and under this control he Is taught
to stand still while pistol or carbine
is fired from his back-the latter nat
urally coming last, as both hands are
required in using this weapon.
Then follows saber practice on sim
liar lines, until the horse is as indif-
ferent to the whirl and slash of a
sword above his head as to the explo-
sion of a carbine above it, Within a
few weeks the horse not only loses all
traces of nervousness; he really en-
joys the experience and enters enthusi-
astically into it. In battle the cavalry
horse faces even a greater risk Of
death or disablement than his rider,
although the gallant animal rarely gets
any of the laurels of war. His dan
ger, however is by no means SO great
as it was.
In the eighteenth century $50
horses fell in battle to every 100 men;
from 1900 to 1865 the proportion had
fallen to 120 and in more recent
wars the ratio has been approximate
" 112 horses to 100 men. In some
charges, however, the proportion has
been greater, as in that of the Light
Brigade, in which so more horses
than men sacrificed their lives.
But while the war horse seldom gets
credit for his prowess and devotion,
there have been, happily, few cases
in which he has shared his masters
glories-among them Lord Roberts
pretty little Arab, Volonel, who car
ried him in the famous march from
Kabul to Kandahar, and round whose
neck, at Queen Victoria's express
wish, he hung the Kabul medal, with
four clasps.

HORSE ENJOYS COMBAT
STEED AS EAGER FOR BATTLE AS
is HIS RIDER
Also Knows the Call of the Buele, In
Many Cases Better Than the Soldier
Who Is Supposed to Guide
Him Into Action.

1t will probably surprise the public,
said retired colonel of hussars, to
learn that cavalry horse usually en-
joys a battle at least as much as his
rider, and displays as much courage
in it. He will chafe and stamp with
impatience while waiting for the order
to charge, and at the signal will dash
from the leash, full of fire and fury,
and often neighing mildly. At the mo-
ment of contact with the enemy he
will rear, striking and biting savage
ly at the opposing horses and tram
pling down the infantry.
When his rider falls he will dash
along with his fellows and crash as
CALAMITY into the foe. In the famous
charge of the Light Brigade scores of
riderless horses swept down the wal
ley of DEATH" laundering through the
smoke onto the Russian guns, and gal
loped back to safety with the shat
tered remnant of the brigade. Five
horses raced neck and neck with
Lord Alfred Paget, who rode in ad-
vance of the line, so eager were they
to get at the enemy!
And not only is the welltrained
charger as brave as his rider; he is
often as intelligent. He knows the
bugle calls just as well, and answers
them as promptly. In fact, cases are
proved in which horse has put his
rider right when he has mistaken an
order, and has gone faultlessly through
maneuvers in spite of the efforts of
his mistaken master to make him do
the wrong thing.
No. the process of training is neither
long nor difficult. The first step is to
accustom the horse to the sound of
firing at close quarters. With this OBJ
ject he Is put on the ground with legs
tied. and while in this position, pis-
tol is fired close to his ears, over his
back. between his legs. and SO on. un-
til his fear Is overcome. After a few
such lessons 1t is safe to mount him

YOUR HEALTH
Don't Endanger it With
CaIOmel.

1t is generally agreed by experts in
this country and Europe that calomel
has a very violent effect on the system.
This accounts for the familiar disagree
able feeling accompanying a dose, and
the weakened condition following it.
LIV-VER.LAN is harmless vege-
table compound, that is mild but eff
fective substitute for calonel. 1t has
all the effectiveness, but not the effect,
of calomel. Its splendid value has
brought it into such wide use that in
some states it has almost entirely re-
placed calomel.
Just try LIV-VER-LAX once, and
you'll never use calomel again. Insist

Union Opposes "Full Crew" Bill.

The Texas Farmers Union regis
tered its opposition to this character
of legislation at the last annual meet
ing held in Fort Worth, Tex, August
4, 1914, by resolution, which we quote,
as follows:
THE matter of prime importance
to the farmers of this state is an ade-
quate and efficient marketing system;
and we recognize that such system
is impossible without adequate rail-
road facilities. embracing the greatest
amount of service at the least pos
sible cost We further recognize that
the farmers and producers in the end
pay approximately 95 per cent OF the
expenses of operating the railroads,
and it is therefore to the interest OF
the producers that the expenses OF
the common carriers be as small as
is possible, consistent with good SER
vice and safety. We, therefore, call
upon our lawmakers, courts and
juries to bear the foregoing facts in
mind when dealing with the common
carriers of this state, and we do espe-
cially reaffirm the declarations OF
the last annual convention of our
State Union, opposing the passage OF
the so-called 'full-crew' bill before
the thirty-third legislature of Texas"
The farmers of Missouri in the last
election, by an overwhelming ma
iority, swept this law off the statute
book of that state, and it should
come off of all statute books where
it appears and no legislature of this
nation should pass such law or
similar legislation which requires I'M
necessary expenditures.
The same rule applies to all regu-
latory measures which increase the
expenses of industry without giving
corresponding benefits to the public.
There is ofttimes body of men as
sembled at legislatures-and they
have a right to be there-who, in
their zeal for rendering their fellow
associates q service, sometimes favor
an increase in the expenses of in
dustry without due regard for the men
who bow their backs to the summers
sun to meet the payroll, but these
committees, while making a record
for themselves, rub the skin off the
shoulders of the farmer by urging the
legislature to lay another burden
upon his heavy load and under the
lash of be it enacted" goad him on
to pull and surge at the traces of civil
iZation, no matter how he may sweat,
foam and gall at the task. When
legislatures 'cut a melon for labor
they hand the farmer a lemon.
The farmers of the United States
are not financially able to carry dead
heads" on their payrolls. Our own
hired hands are not paid unless we
have something for them to do and
we are not willing to carry the hired
help of dependent industries unless
there is work for them. We must
therefore insist upon the most rigid
economy.
Legislative housekeeping Needed.
While the war is on and there is a
lull in business, we want all legisla-
tive bodies to take an inventory of
the statute books and wipe off all
extravagant and useless laws. A good
housekeeping is needed and econo-
mics can be instituted here and there
