HOUSE WORK Thousands of American women in our homes are daily sacrificing their lives to duty. In order to keep the home neat and pretty, the children well dressed and tidy, women overdo. A female weakness or displacement is often brought on and they suffer in silence, drifting along from bad to worse, knowing well that they ought to have help to overcome the pains and aches which daily make life a burden. - It is to these faithful women that LYDIA E.

The Cruel "Range.” There would appear to be no season of the year in which calamity in some form does not lie In wait for cattle left to shift for themselves on the great plains.

Later they perish from summer and autumnal droughts. The indications are that the range steer is going out of exist ence in a similarly perverse way.

CUBS’ FOOD They Thrive Ou Grape-Nuts. Healthy babies don’t cry, and the well-nourished baby that is fed on Grape-Nuts is never a crying baby. Many babies who cannot take any other food relish the perfect food, Grape-Nuts, and get well. “My little baby was given up by three doctors, who said that the con densed milk on which I had fed her had ruined the child’s stomach. One of the doctors told me that the only thing to do would be to try Grape- Nuts. so I got some and prepared it as follows: I soaked IVi tablespoon fuls in one pint of cold water for hall i an hour, then I strained off the liquid and mixed 12 teaspoonfuls of this strained Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls of rich milk, put In a pinch of salt and a little sugar, warmed it and gave it to baby every two hours. “In this simple, easy way I saved baby's life and have built her up to a strong, healthy child, rosy and laugh- Jng. The food must certainly be per fect to have such a wonderful effect as this. I can truthfully say I think it is the best food in the world to raise delicate babies on, and is also a delicious, healthful food for grown ups, as We have discovered in our family.” Grape-Nuts is equally valuable to the strong, healthy man or woman. It stands, for the true theory of health. “There’s a Reason.” Read “The Road to WtUriUe,’’ in pkga. ANALOGOUS. New York Yesterday and Ticonderoga Today, We had left the hotel behind and were walking up a fragrant road in the lower Adirondacks. It was a cool, bracing morning, and before we knew it we found ourselves In what had once been a thriving village, and looked now like nothing but a collection of old frame houses fall ing to pieces with age and neglect. "Starbuckville,” we said in one voice. For at the hotel they had told us of a settlement two miles or so be yond where a few poor families still lived and which boasted a character who called himself the Mayor of Star buckville. Few of the hotel guests ever got so far on foot, but there were legends that the old man dearly loved a chat with "city folks.” We stood awhile looking at the gray old wooden houses in their beautiful mountain setting and watch ing some children play with a yellow kitten. At the door of the nearest house stood an old man, who came briskly down the path when he saw us linger and wished us good-morn ing. Soon he was happily catechising us, and we realized that we were in onversation with the Mayor himselt “Stoppin’ to Binnses?” he asked. We confessed that we wero, “When did ye come?” “Last month.” “How long ye goin’ to stay?” “It depends on the weather; poss bly till October.” He looked at us respectfully and sighed. “It must cost ye a power o’ money; they live high to Binnses.” A mournful vision of our “high” living at the hotel rose before us and we said nothing. But after a little the old man went on with his ques tioning, embracing such little matters as age, occupation, etc. “Where do ye come from —New York?” he asked. “From New York,” we assured him. He looked at us again; perhaps New Yorkers were rare in Starbuckville. It had been many years since the old man had left the mountains, but he liked people to know that he, too, had once seen the city. “I s’pose New York has changed some sence I seen it? I ain’t been there sence the war.” There was a question in his voice, and I cast about in my mind for some thing that would really bring home to him the difference between New York in the ’6os and New York to day. My own memory did not go back so far, but I had seen changes and tried to remember what was the mest striking. “I’ll tell you,” I said. “When I was a little girl and first came to New York we lived in Harlem, above 125th street, you know. When we took the train up from downtown the houses seemed to stop at Seventy-second street; there were just rocks and shanties and goats. That is, till we got about to 116th street, and then the houses began again. And now—well, now it’s almost solidly built up, the rocks and shanties are gone and there are big hotels and apartments all the way up.” He had been listening very eager ly. and his face showed great appre ciation as I went on, and when I had finished he slapped his knees joyous ly and chuckled: “I know; jest like Ticonderogy. When 1 was a boy there was North Ticonderogy and South Ticonderogy, with a hull half mile of open country between ’em, and now it’s just Ti conderogv, begosh!”—Harper’s Weefc ly. ’ Paris Morgue Gone. The morgue is to be removed. Al ready last year M. Lepine closed this “horrible toad cringing behind Notre Dame,” as the poet d’Esparbes called it to all but those who were genu inely desirous of finding a missing relative or the victim of an accident. This was resented by the cheap trip per. but many people wondered why such a step had not been taken many years ago. The morgue had for very long been found too small and in convenient for its purpose, and at last it has been decided to demolish it and build anew and improved mortuary. t A commission of the city council is to take a European trip to study the plans of other mortu ary buildings. The reason why this decision has now been come to is grim enough. It appears that, owing to the deadly activity of the “Apaches” corpes accumulate to such an extent that the present dreadful little building will not accommodate them. —London Globe.

Commissioner Smith vs. The Standard OiHSi From the 'Railway World, January $, iqoß. Mr. Herbert Knox Smith, wkofe son! in the cauec of economic reform has been in no wise abated by the panic which ho and hla kind did so much to bring on. la oat with an an swer no President Moffett, of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. The publication of this answer, it is officially given out, was de layed several weeks, “for business reasons," because it was not deemed advisable to furtber excite the public mind, which was profoundly disturbed by the crisis. Now that the storm clouds have rolled by, however, the Commissioner rushes again Into the fray. Our readers remember that the chief points in the defence of the Standard Oil Company, as presented by President Moffett, were, (1) that the rate of six cents on oil from Whiting to East St. Louis has been is sued to the Standard Oil Company as the lawful rate by employes of the Alton, (2) that the 18-cent rate on file with the Inter state Commerce Commission was a class and not a commodity rate, never being intended to apply to oil, (3) that oil was shipped in Jarge quantities between Whiting and East St. Louis over the Chicago and Eastern Illinois at six and one-fourth cents per hun dredjpounds, which has been filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission as the law ful rate, and (4) that the 18-cept rate on oil was entirely out of proportion td lawful rates on other commodities between these points of a similar character, and of greater value, sucb, for example, as linseed oil, the lawful rate on which was eight cents. President Moffett also stated that thousands of tons of freight had been sent by other shippers be tween these points under substantially the same conditions as governed the shipments of the Standard Oil Company. This defence of the Standard Oil Company was widely quoted and has undoubtedly ex erted a powerful influence upon the public mind. Naturally the Administration, which has staked the success of its campaign against the “trusts” upon the result of its at tack upon this company, endeavors to offset this Influence, and hence the new deliverance of Commissioner Smith. We need hardly to point out that his re bnttal argument is extremely weak, although as strong, no doubt, as the circumstances would warrant. He answers the points made by President Moffett substantially as follows: (1) The Standard Oil Company had a traffic department, and should have known that the six-cent rate had not been filed, (2) no an swer, (3) the Chicago and Eastern Illinois rate was a secret rate because it read, not from Whiting, but from Dolton, which Is described as “a village of about 1,500 popu lation just outside of Chicago, Its only claim to note is that it has been for many years the point of origin for this and similar secret rates.” The Commissioner admits in describing this rate that there was a note attached stating that the rate could also be used from Whiting. The press has quite generally hailed this statement of the Commissioner of Corpora tions as a conclusive refutation of what is evidently recognized as the strongest rebuttal argument advanced by the Standard. In fact, it is as weak and inconclusive as the remainder of his argument.

They terminate at Dolton, from which point entrance la made over the Belt Line. Whiting, where the oil freight originates, Is not on the lines of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois, which receives its Whit ing freight from the Belt Line at Dolton. The former practice, now discontinued, in filing, tariffs was to make them read from a point on the the line of the filing road, and it was also general to state on the same sheet, that the tariff would apply to other points, e. g., Whiting. The Chicago and Eastern Illinois followed this practice in filing its rate from Dolton, and making a note on the sheet that Is applied to Whiting. This was In 1895 when this method of filing tariffs was in common use. Now let us see in what way the intending shipper of oil could be misled and deceived by the fact that the Chicago and Eastern Illinois had not filed a rate reading from Whiting. Commissioner Smith contends that “concealment Is the only motive for such a circuitous arrangement,” 1. e., that this method of filing the rate was Intended to mislead intending competitors of the Stand ard Oil Company. Suppose such a prospec tive oil refiner had applied to the Interstate Commerce Commission for the rate from Chicago to East St. Louis over the Chicago and Eastern Illinois, he would have been in formed that the only rate filed with the commission by this company was 6*4 cents from Dolton, and ho would have been further informed, if indeed ho did not know this al ready, that this rate applied throughout Chi cago territory. So that whether he wished to locate his plant at Whiting, or anywhere else about Chicago, under an arrangement of long standing, and which applies to all the indus trial towns in the neighborhood of Chicago, he could have his freight delivered over the Belt Line to the Chicago and Eastern Illinois at Dolton and transported to East St. Louis at a rate of G % cents. Where then Is the concealment which the Commissioner of Cor porations makes so much of? Any "rate — from Dolton on the Eastern Illinois or Chap pell on the Alton, or Harvey on the Illinois Central, or Blue Island on the Rock Island, applies throughout Chicago territory to ship ments from Whiting, as to shipments from any other point In the district. So far from the Eastern Illinois filing its rate from Dol ton in order to deceive the shipper, It is the Commissioner of Corporations who either be trays his gross Ignorance of transportation customs in Chicago territory or relies on the public ignorance of these customs to deceive the public too apt to accept unquestioningly every statement made by a Government official as necessarily true, although, as in the present instance, a careful examination shows these statements to be false. The final point made by President Moffett that other commodities of a character similar to oil were carried at much lower rates than 18 cents, the Commissioner of Corporations discusses only with the remark that “the ‘reasonableness’ of this rate Is not in ques tion. The question is whether this rate con stituted a discrimination as against other shippers of oil,” and he also makes much of the failure of President Moffett to produce before the grand Jury evidence of the alleged illegal acts of which the Standard Oil official said that other large shippers in the terrl- BRICKS. their Great Age and Desirability Through Ages.

Considering the fact that these shippers Included the packers and elevator men of Chicago the action of the grand Jury In calling upon President Moffett to furnish evidence of their wrong-doing may be interpreted as a demand for an elabora tion of the obvious: but the fact that a rate book containing these freight rates for other shippers was offered in evidence during the trial and ruled out by Judge Landis, was kept out of eight. President Moffett would not, of course, accept the invitation of the grand Jury although he might have been pardoned if he had referred them to various official investigations by ths Interstate Com merce Commission and other departments of the Government. We come back, therefore, to the conclusion of the whole matter, which is that the Stand ard Oil Company of Indiana was fined an amount equal to seven or eight times the value of its entire property, because its traffic department did not verify the statement of tbs' Alton rate clerk, that the slx-cent com modity rate on oil had been properly filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission. There Is no evidence, and none was intro duced at the trial, that any shipper of oil from Chicago territory had been Interfered with by the eighteen-cent rate nor that the failure* of the Alton to file Its six-cent rate had resulted in any discrimination against any independent shipper,—we must take this on the word of the Commissioner of Cor porations and of Judge Landis. Neither is it denied even by Mr. Smith that the "Inde pendent” shipper of oil, whom he pictures as being driven out of business by this discrim ination of the Alton, could have shipped all the oil he desired to ship from Whiting via Dolton over the lines of the Chicago and Kastern Illinois to East St. Louis. In short. President Moffett’s defence is still good, and we predict will be declared so by the higher court. The Standard Oil Company has been charged with all manner of crimes and mis demeanors. Beginning with the famous Rlc© of Marietta, passing down to that apostle of popular liberties, Henry Deraarest Lloyd, with his Wealth Against the Commonwealth, descending by easy stages to Miss Tarbell’s offensive personalities, we finally reach the nether depths of unfair and baseless mis representation In the report of the Commis sioner of Corporations. The Standard has been charged with every form of commercial piracy and with most of the crimes on the corporation calendar. After long years of strenuous attack, under the leadership of the President of the United States, the corpora tion Is at last dragged to the bar of justice to answer for its misdoings. The whole strength of the Government Is directed against it. and at last, we are told, the Standard Oil Com pany is to pay the penalty of Its crimes, and It Is finally convicted of having failed to verify the statement of a rate clerk and is forthwith fined a prodigious sum, measured by the car.
