TESTIHONY10 THIS EFFECT It Is Given Before the Committee Appointed to Investigate the Cost of High Living. Washington. — Formal testimony was given before the senate commit j tee investigating the high cost of liv ing that cold storage is the great equaliser of prices, while, at the same time, au informal declaration was made that cold storage is an im portant and controlling factor in pro ducing high prices. Pierre P. Garin, prosecutor of Hud son county. New Jersey, who con ferred at the capital ruth Representa tive Kinkaid of New Jersey and Sen ator Lodge in regard to pending leg islation to regulate cold storage, at tacked the cold storage system and praised the work of the investigating committee. John A. Kunkel of New York said that if it were not for the cold stor age method of keeping eggs they would sell as low as 2 and 9 cents a doxen during certain seasons and as high as 75 cents and $1 in other sea sons of the year. He told the committee many inter esting things about eggs. He said New York people demanded an egg with a white shell, while Boston used the yellow egg shell. He said that the latter was bertter than the white shell egg, in that it will keep longer. "The egg." he added, "is a foot ball from the time it leaves the hen until , it reaches the table.” John J. Walton of New York in op rosing the bill to prohibit the keep ing of food-stuffs in cold storage for a longer period than one year, said that limitation would be all right for eggs, because they had to be thrown away, anyhow, after they were nine months old. That was not true of butter, said the witness. He mentioned an instance of but ter which had c^me from the farm of Oliver P. Morton of New York, that had been kept in cold storage for three years without depreciation in quality. Mr. Walton said the Elgin loard was not recognized in New York and that the so-called butter trust was a myth. The makers of oleomargarine were charged by Mr. Walton with being partly responsible for the high prices. He declared they bought but ter to color their product and that their purpose was to keep butter higher to make a better market for their cheaper product. The witness said prospects for lower prices in the near future were slight. A revolt by New York last Febru ary against the 45-eent butter was given as a reason for the sudden drop of 6 cents in one day. Mr. Walton said the people woke up and quit us ing butter and that the sale fell off 30 per cent. New York.—Determined women marched through the east side and other sections of the city, where the kosher meat strike is on. to prevent the opening of the retail butcher shops closed Tuesday as a protest against the high meat prices. More than 100.000 families, it is figured, have put a ban on meat. DESECRATING AMERICAN FLAG. Women. Among Others, for Uphold ing Old Glory. Washington—The deserration of the American flag through its use in vari ous forms of advertising was the sub ject discussed before the house judi ciary committee by several members of the house and representatives of different organizations. Among the speakers tvere a number of women, including Mrs. Kate B. Sherwood, past president of the Women's Relief Corps. The bill introduce.! by Representa tive Goulden of New York providing penalties for the use of the design of the American flag in any form of ad vertisement was before the commit tee. The bill not only would prohibit the use of the flag for such purposes, j but it also provides that any person | “who shall publicly mutilate, deface. ! defile, trample upon or cast contempt, i either by words or act upon the flag, 'j shall be guilty of misdemeanor pun ishable by a fine of $100 and an im prisonment of thirty days.” Canada Will Prohibit. Quebec—Premier Gouin announced that an order in council would be is sued within a few days to prohibit the exportation of pulp wood. Hotel Men Vote for Boston. IjOs Angeles.

All points of differences will be arbitrated by E. E. Clark, member of the Interstate Com merce commission, and P. H. Mor rissey. president of the Railway Em ployers' and Investors' association.

GETTING HIS IDIOMS MIXED German-American May Hava Meant Wall, But Nia Direction* Ware Somewhat Complex. Passengers on a New York street car were treated to some choice exam ples of Qerman-American Kngltsh when a stout gentleman with a robust voice started to relate to a friend his adventures of the previous night. "Twelf o'glock it wass when he come alretty." said the stout man. "und on de toor rap." "Hut." said his companion, "it was only about ten o'clock when he started over there." "Veil, twelf o'glock it wass when he comes alretty und on de toor rap.

"Stay, I call him eferything I can lay niy hands on." REAL CURES BEING MADE. Permanent Cures, Not Temporary Relief Result from Umted Doctors’ New Treatment. One of the great differences in the treatment used bv the United Doctors, who have their Omaha institute on the second floor of tho Neville block, corner Sixteenth and Harney streets, and the treatment used by ordinary doctors, is that the United Doctors treat and remove the underlying :ause of the disease, while the ordi nary doctor often only treats the symptoms. The result of the United Doctors' treatment is a permanent cure. The cause of the trouble is re moved and the patient stays welL A case which illustrates this point nicely is that of Mrs. R Lee of H06 Douglas street. Omaha. Neb., who was cured last year and now, after the lapse of all that time to test the per manency of the cure, she is still strong and well and writes as follows: Omaha, Neb., Dec. 9th, 1909. Dear Doctors: Fbr six years I was afflicted with stomach trouble and indigestion. Por several years 1 could not eat anything without great suffering and distress and was compelled to live on milk toast and I run down in weight to al most a skeleton. 1 had a pasty com plexion and bad color, and as several of my relatives had succumbed to tuberculosis I feared that the same disease was to be my fate. I began treatment with the United Doctors in January of this year and in three months from the time I started in 1 was a well woman and have re mained well ever since. I have gained in flesh until my friends hardly know me and am feeling fine in every way. f can now eat anything 1 want at all times and can sleep every night. 1 am sound and hearty and owe my present good health entirely to the treatment of the United Doctors, whom I cannot thank enough for what they have done in my case. Britain’s Rulers. Mr. Lloyd George is pleasantly proud of his nationality, but it is ama zing that ue had to go back to Queen Elizabeth and the Tudors to find his torical precedence for a Welsh gov ernment of Great Britain. On the other hand, England has often been ruled by Scotsmen. Of the last three premiers, two—Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman and Mr. Balfour—were Scotch. Mr. Gladstone sat for a Scotch constituency, and so does Mr. Asquith. Ireland has always been busy supplying us with governing men. The duke of Wellington, Lord Roberts, Lord Charles Beresford, Lord Russell and a dozen others immediately occur to one. It is odd to remember that it is cen turies since Great Britain had a purely English sovereign. The Tudors were Welsh. The Stuarts were Scotch. William III. was a Dutchman and the Guelphs are of German descent.— London Chronicle. Or Else Burn. Andrew Carnegie, apropos of his epigram about the disgrace of dying rich, said at a dinner in Washington: I “Why should any one die rich? ' There are no pockets in a shroud, and as for the man who'd like to take his money with him, why. even if he managed to do so, it would only melt.’* Shady Character. “Who is the man that every one seems to know?" “Oh. every one knows him. He’s our secret police.”—Fleigende Blatter. ABANDONED IT For the Old Fashioned Coffee Was , Killing. “I always drank coffee with the rest j of the family, for It seemed as If there : was nothing for breakfast if we did not have it on the table. “I had been troubled some time with my heart, which did not feel t right. This trouble grew worse steadily. I "Sometimes it would beat fast and , at otb*r times very slowly, so that I : would hardiv be able to do work for an he jr or two after breakfast, and if I walked up a hill, it gave me a se vere pain. "I bad no idea of what the trouble was until a friend suggested that per- i haps it might be caused by coffee drinking. I tried leaving off the coffee and began drinking Postum. The ) change came quickly. I am now glad 1 to say that I am entirely well of the heart trouble and attribute the relief | to leaving off coffee and the use of ! Postum. "A number of my friends have aban- i doned the old fashioned coffee and ; have taken up with Postum. which i they are using steadily. There are : some people that make Postum very weak and tasteless, but if it is boiled long enough, according to directions, it is a very delicious beverage. We have never used any of the old fash ioned coffee since Postum was first started in our house.1* Read the little book. “The Road tc A'ellville.'tn pkgs. “There’s a Reason.' ■ver rnrt the shave letter?

IT BENEFITS THE VOLUNTEERS Retired Pay tor Officer* and Thirty Dollar* Monthly to Veterans Over Seventy Year* of Age. Washington—A pension bill of sweeping provisions. umK'r which all surviving volunteer officers of the United States army who served sis months or more would receive retired pay. according to length of service, and all honorably discharged enlisted men over 70 years of aye and suffer ins a certain degree of disability, would receive a straight pension of ISO per month, was reported to the house by Representative Prince of Illinois from the committee on mill tary affairs. In recommend:ny the measure, the committee's report says that although the volunteer troops "formed 9(5 per cent of the armies of the United States and achieved 90 per cent of the historic results." the regular of* fteers have received all the honors and rewards from the government and the volunteer officers nothing.'* The scale of retired pay fer volun teer officers, as fixed by the bill, is one-third of the initial active pay of the corresponding regular officers, for those who served two years or more, and for those of less time of service less pay in proportion. Officers who lost an eye or limb in the line of duty or incurred disability as prisoners of war would receive the full benefit of the act without regard to length of service. No officer who served more than six months would receive less than $400 per annum, and no officer may receive more than two-thirds of the present pay of a captain of the regu lar army. A private soldier over 70 years of age will receive the $30 per month provided he served more than ninety days and his phys cal dis ability (not necessarily of service origin) is such as to "require the fre quent and periodical care and atten tion of another person.” The report of the eomm.ttee in cludes an estimate from the secretary of the interior, which fixes the cost of the first year's operation of the pro posed law at $9,304,013.
