Urbana. H., Sept 16.-From

more men students at the Univer-

history of the institution.
Last week there was on file al

By virtue of his rank, Lieutenant

came TO the University of Illinois
to head the signal corps unit to be
established here this fall, has auto
maticaIly succeeded Major Ben W.
Field, infantry. as commandant OF

Unless some one is sent here who
outranks him, he will continue as

Illinois is to have much broad

year than ever before, and it will
include field artillery, signal corps
engineering, and infantry units.
The signal corp2 is fully equipped

Rock Island, ILL.,. Sept. 16.-Edi-
tor The Argus:
Circumstances have prevented
my replying at an earlier date to
MIR. McMauus. .
Mr.. McManus thinks my study
Of the Kenyon bill is responsible
for my ,championing of it. Such is
not the case, but it is study OF the
methods of the big five" that
caused me to reply to the article
signed by Mr.. Armour
MIR. McMaGus thinks thai the
control Of the packers will lessen
the price to the consumer. Do you
know of any ore thing they have
taken over to come down in price?
TAKE the corner of rico alone.
That commodity jumped Go per
cent in it's wholesale price when
taken over by Mr.. Armour. Do not
such transactions brand the pack
ers as spectators and profiteers?
Then tell me why the packers
seek to control all substitutes for
meat, or foods that compete with
meat? without such control they
could not raise meat prices so
high. because people would turn to
other foods; but by controlling
both, the prices can be so fixed
that people have little to gain by
turning to the substitutes
Granting that the packers could
give more efficient and economical
service. as Mr.. AFcManus claims,
and that by their absolute monopo-
iy of fOodstuffs they could make
better prices to the consumer
would they do 500 From previous
experience, I would say no. These
things are making even the casual
reader think. | am not SOcialistic
in my views, but 1 think some
drastic measures must be taken:
hence my advocacy OF the Kenyon
bill.
The Kenyon bill will remedy the
abuse Of the refrigerator cars, Of
which J Understand the packers
own 9c%r cent. A refrigerator
ear is built and maintained by the
packers for the Geld storage of
meats in shipment. 1t is presumed
by the railroads to contain highly
perishable goods, and consequent
" it is given precedence. AS a re-
suit. a refrigerator car can travel
much faster than an ordinary car
This IS fine so long as the packers
COnfine such cars to meat ship
ments; but they do not cOnfine
them to meat shipments, as they
carry almost a complete line OF
provisions, and by loading their re-
fTigerator cars with provisions
canned and Otherwise-thcy can
beat their competing jobbers by a
very large margin. which is n very
unfair advantage. as it removes all
competition, aGl the packers can
then charge whatever they please
The X enyon bill asks that this wea-
pom be taken from the packers by
placing restrictions on the -efrig-
orator cars and making them com
mon carriers.
Mr.. McManus assures Us that
there can be no monopoly of food;
but how can we believe that when
we read of the packers activities
as exposed by the United States
Il ade commission in the daily pa
pers. which tell us that the meat
packers control of other foods Will
not lake long in developing?

CITY IS BEING
DISTRACTED TO

Broken Cables and Lines VIII Be

Broken cables and telephone

This method Of putting the tele-

was announced this morning by
Thomas S. Brown. manager Of the
Central Union company. Mr.. Brown
says numerous requests have been
received by him since Saturday
noon when first news Of the settle
ment of the strike was given, to
have certain phones repaired.
These requests will have to be- ig-
nored, according TO Mr.. Brown. I'M
til the linemen come to the district
involved. In this way probably 100
phShes can be fixed in one day.
Aereas otherwise only a few a
DAY could be put back in condi-
ton. 1t will take three or four
weeks before service on all phones
will be normal
All Are Back.
All linemen and girls reported
back for work yesterday. There
has been no disorder or signs of
discomfort by any of the strikers.
The operators gave a successful
dance at Eagles hall in this city

Why ACID STOMACH Must
CauseWeakness, BadHealth
and Awful Misery

Trace the disease to its source Then remove the
cause Physicians say that more than 70 non-organic
diseases be traced directly to Acid-Stonach,
hyperacidity they call it. Besides this, there are
numerous ailments which can hardly be classified
true diseases but which, nevertheless, cause untold
suffering and these too, found to have their origin
in ACID-STOMACH.
Now there must be good and sufficient reasons
why 50 much human misery, suffering and i'll health
that affect practically part of the body all get
their start IN sour, gassy beching, AcidStomach-
There ARE such reasons-and here is one of them:
Because of excess acidy acd-stomach cannot prop
ery digest food Unless food is fully digested its
shing elements cannot be properly assmilated. Hence
the blood becomes thin and impoverished. Even the
strongest body cannot maintain its strength very long
proper nourishnent is denied And that is the very
reason why many people weak, sallow-skinned,
emaciated and anemic-always ailingl
Here is another reason: Excess acid causes food to
sour and ferment in the stomach. This gives rise
indigestion, belching souri, gassy stomach, disgusting
food repeating heartburn, dyspepsia, etc. Moreover,
this sour, fermened, partially dgested food when it
passes the intestines sets up irritation all along the
intestinal tract-rritation severe frequently to
result in ulcers catarrh and even cancer
Just think how acdmouth ruins teethhow the acid
destructive to the human organism must bel

Metchnkof the famous scientist Impeecty dgsted food

breeding place for countless millions of disease These

add rheumatism, scatca, lubago biousnes and often

Wage earners who save part of

They become part of the despised
bourgoise or property-owning class,

The red extremists are doing their
utmost to break into the ranks of

wealth and what it creates, it owns.
Abraham Lincoln made rails for
25 cts, per hundred but no one but
an I. w. W. would claim that rails be-

At Seattle the Reds tried to trans
form an ordinary controversy over
the Macy Wage Board findings into
a national revolution.
When the Reds showed their real
purpose, showed the Red Hand, or

There is a distinct cleavage be-

Making the main business of its ex-

there be cause or not, trade unions
balk at l. W. W. ism.
Expression of sympathy with sedi-

Democratic Congressman, Martin

Under Socialism industries ar to be

Use of Metals In the War.

A German expert has been compiI-
ing some statistics of the use of metals
In the war. He says that If the iron
and steel used by Germany alone In
40 months Of war were forged into a
ring which went round the equator,
each meter would weigh 80 hundred
weight. If the mass Of metal were
made into wall along the battle
fronts-Or $500 miles-a yard high
and a yard thick, each yard would
weigh 200 hundredweight. Germany
sent to the front every week more
guns than were used in the whole of
the FrancO-Prussian war. Twenty-four
hours consumed more than did the
whole OF the earlier war The moral
he draws is that such things were only
possible because Germany had been
wise enough before the war to con-
quer the worlds markets and GUST her
enemies.
