New York Lawmakers Will Be
Asked to Make the Bar
riers Stronger

NLW lynn, June O-lne New
York Legislature at its next session
will be asked to erect stronger lega
barriers against price fixing combi
nations. Its committee investigating
building trusts expects to recommend
legislation intended TO prelude a re
petition of collusion, uniform price
making and extortion such as il has
exposed during hearings in New
York.
Tbs committee, ii has been learn
ed from official sources, favors jail
and penitentiary sentences for indi-
viduals who prey upon public or priv
ate purses by choking free competi-
tion- Ii does not consider that fines
impose sufficient punishment upor
such men.
For violations of state antitrust
laws n minimum sentence of six
months probably will be recommend
eded in the proposed legislation. In
this way, Samuel Untermyer. coun-
sci for the committee. contends that
officers of concerns convicted of
gouging the public suffer as much.
at least. rs those guilty of disorder

COULD BEAT HANDS SHUCKING HIS CORN
It Least J. A. White Would Bet So, After Being Relieved of
 Dyspepsia by TanIaC.

My wife and myself have had stomach trouble" says Mr. J. A. White, residing on the Leestown Pike, R. F. D. No. 6, near Lexington, Ky, ''and have both been nervous and run down."
 "We could not see anything with out suffering afterwards and could not sleep at night. We were regular nerv- Ous dyspeptics. We tried many rem edies without permanent benefit until we heard of Tanlac. I got this medi cine and began using it. We noticed immediate results. We are both great ly improved by Tanlac. We give all credit for the change of health to Tan lac. It is a remarkable medicine.
 q personally feel so good that told my hands a day or two ago that could beat any of them shucking corn. I meant it and believe I could have beat lem all."
 Of all the maladies that aff1ict hu- manity chronic dyspepsia, such as MT. and Mrs. White suffered from. is prob ably the most prevalent, and hours might be consumed in describing the suffering, mental and bodily, of the victims of chronic dyspepsia.
 A morbid, unreal, whimsical and melancholy condition of the mind, aside from the nervous physical suffer ing, is the usual state of the average dyspeptic, and life seems scarcely worth living
 Tanlac, the celebrated medicine. was designed especially for overcoming this distressing condition and millions of people have taken it with the most astonishing and gratifying results. It seems to go straight to the spot, toning up and invigorating every organ of the body.

Needed in Preserving Eags for Winter supply.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 Boys and girls who are members of poultry clubs, or those who are in- eerested in any way in chickens, should learn how to candle and preserve eggs. Candling means the sorting out of bad eggs before a strong light in such manner that the rays of light come to the eye through the egg so that the contents can be seen and the condition noted.
 The shell of a newly laid egg has a soft "glow" or bloom" which is a sign of perfect freshness. This glow or bloom is destroyed by handling, and in any case disappears after the egg has been exposed to the air for a short time. After that it Is difficult to dis tinguish fresh egg from an old one by the appearance of the shell, so candling becomes necessary if you would be sure that the egg is good.
 Candle Eggs in Dark Room.
 Eggs can be candled best in a dark room, by the use of a bright light in- closed in a box or case having hole a trifle smaller than an egg directly opposite the light. The egg Is held at this hole for examination. An ordinary hand lamp, lantern, an in-

Governor Asks s5OO,Ooo to Aid Pueblo
Sufferers

Denver-GOyernor Shoup has issued a proclamation in reference to the Ar kansas valley flood sufferers, calling upon the people of the state to com plete a fund of not less than $5OO,OO0 'fOr the purpose of partially rehabili- tating these suffering fellow citizens and placing them on the way to self support"
 In his proclamation Governor Shoup cited the facts that in Pueblo 1000 persons are in absolute want, that the flood utterly destroyed 659 homes and wrecked as many more, and that the unusual nature of the tremendous damage to the business and farming interests in the Arkansas valley was such as to preclude the possibility of collecting any insurance.
 Simultaneously with the issuance Of Governor Shoup's proclamation, the directors of the Denver Civic and Commercial Association made public a statement in regard to the Pueblo flood catastrophe, calling for further and substantial responses by the citizens of Denver and Colorado"
