everything but nothing helped me till
I got Dodds Kidney Pills
Two days after I took the first
dose all pain left me and it has never

Are the Packers Receiving Fair Play
When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers ap
peared after eight months investiga
tion it was severely criticised and
roundly denounced After three
months of publicity it is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
it have failed to controvert the figures
contained in that exhaustive docu
ment The public is beginning to no
tice this omission and the feeling is
rapidly growing that the sensational
charges out of which the Beef In-
vestigation arose were without foun
dation If the official statements of
the report are susceptible of contra
diction a good many people are now
asking why the facts and figures are
not furnished to contradict them
The truth seems to be that most of
the charges contain unfounded sensa
tional assertions A flagrant example
of this appeared in a recent article in
an Eastern magazine to the effect
that forty Iowa banks were forced
to close their doors in 1903 4 by the
Beef Trusts manipulation of cattle
prices Chief Clerk Cox of the bank
ing department of the Iowa State Au
ditors office has tabulated the list of
banks given in the magazine article
and has publicly denounced the state
ment as utterly untrue He gives
separately the reasons for each fail
ure mentioned and officially states
that they have been caused by unwise
speculations and by reckless banking
methods It may be well to suspend
judgment upon the packers until the
charges against them are proved

RIOT ISJPEWED
VICIOUS FIGHTING ON THE
STREETS OF CHICAGO
THE STRIKE IS HOW SPREADING
The Greatest Trouble Appears to Be
In the Lumber Districts Men
Armed With Air Guns Fire Upon
Wagons and Escorts
Friday in the teamsters strike and
although nobody was seriously hurt
there were a number of vicious fights
in the lumber district during which
the police were compelled to use their
clubs and in one instance revolvers
in order to disperse the mob
A serious fight took place at the
corner of Canal and Madison streets
adjoining the passenger depot of the
Pennsylvania railroad The wagon of
an express company although pro
tected by a policeman and a deputy
sheriff was attacked by a large crowd
despite the fact that it bore on each
side a large placard declaring that
all people had been enjoined from in
terfering with the wagon by the fed
eral court The policeman displayed
his reyolver but the crowd paying
no attention to him rushed at the
wagon and seizing the wheels at
tempted to overturn it A riot call
brought from the Desplaines street
police- station four squares distant a
large crowd of officers who dispersed
the crowd and arrested about forty
of the most active in the disturbance
- The worst fight in the lumber dis
trict occurred at Twenty second street
and Ashland avenue where a crowd
pf men and boys had all through the
morning hurled stones and clubs at
the passing lumber wagons Finally
a wagon on which Police Officer Bag
enski was a passenger came along and
the mob greeted it with the usual
volley of stones They also threatened
to attack the driver and the situation
was so serious that the officer draw
ing his revolver fired six shots at the
crowd which broke and fled in wild
confusion None of the bullets hit
anybody
In the evening general rioting was
prevalent throughout the lumber dis
trict and particularly in the territory
near the intersection of Thirty fifth
street and Center avenue The lum
ber wagons returning from making de
liveries were attacked by crowds at
every available opportunity Large
numbers of men armed with clubs
slungshots and bricks accompanied
by jeering women and excited chil
dren filled the sidewalks along Center
avenue Thirty fifth street Loomis
street and Archer avenue awaiting the
passage of wagons which were be
lieved by the crowd to be unguarded
At Archer avenue and Loomis street
two trucks appeared with one police
man on each They were immediate
ly bombarded with bricks and stones
and scores of air rifles were brought
nto play A bullet from one of these
weapons seriously wounded Policeman
James Fitzpatrick in the right hand
The two policemen drew their revolv
ers and fired over the heads of the
rioters holding them at bay until the
drivers managed to reach their desti
nation at the yards of the Rittenhouse

sentiment that newspapers frequently
had equal if not better facilities for
tracing offenders than the police

A HUNT FOR TOGO
THAT IS WHAT ROJESTVENSKY
IS SAID TO BE DOING
HIS SHIPS STEAMING NORTH
An Engagement With the Enemy
Seems to Be Near at Hand Head
of the Admiralty Gives His Views
ST PETERSBURG Admiral Avel
lan head of the Russian Admiralty
department confirms the Associated
Press dispatches saying Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky is steaming north to
Five battle to Admiral Togo He con
siders it possible that news of the two
fleets having met may be received any
day
In an interview Admiral Avellan af
firms the official denial of the reports
that Rojestvensky has broken down
and asked to be relieved Avellan says
Rojestvensky sent detailed reports of
the condition of his own health and
of the health of the crews of his ships
The constant tension and hard work
of the past months have been a great
strain on the admirals health
Even before he left said Avellan
Rojestvensky was a sufferer from
kidney trouble but his health is no
worse His reports breathe a spirit
of strength and confidence and other
reports show he has inspired his
crews with the confidence of their
commander As a matter of fact it is
not Rojestvensky but Vice Admiral
Woelkersam who has suffered from
the long stay in the tropics The ap
pointment of Vice Admiral Birileff as
successor to Vice Admiral Skrydloff at
Vladivostok will in no wise affect Ro
jostvenskys status The latters mis
sion as chief of the fleet is to take it
to Vladivostok There will be no an
tagonism when he gets there The
two admirals are on excellent terms
which began long ago when Rojest
vensky served under Birileff Both are
iron disciplinarians and Rojestvensky
will give his superior the same loyal
obodlence that he demands of his sub
ordinates
Do you anticipate a sea fight
soon the admiral was asked He re
plied Certainly The Japanese can
not afford to allow Rojestvensky to
1 each Vladivostok without an engage
ment I personally expect it to take
place in the near future though I ad
mit that the admiralty knows nothing
of Rojestvenskys strategy or plans
the emperor having accorded hira
complete freedom of action Possibly
it is his present purpose to seek Ad
miral Togo and force a fight but t is
more probable that Rojestvensky is
hound for his base at Vladivostok
However I can say nothing definite
on this point
An admira1 of high rank said to
the Associated Press this afternoon
We have known for some tinri that
Rojestvensky would not attempt to
pass through the straits of Formosa
where the waters are shallow and
could easily be rained ahead of his
ships Rojestvensky will undoubtedly
keep far out to sea in order fo avoid
torpedo attacks A side detour will
also make it harder for the Japanese
scouts to communicate with Toto
However I expect news of a battle
vithin ten days

WORTH KNOWING
Tho average consumer of baking
powder does not know that a reaction
occurs in the process of baking Food
prepared with a cream of tartar bak
ing powder does not contain any
cream of tartar A loaf of bread mado
from a quart of flour leavened with
cream of tartar baking powder contains
forty five grains more of Rochello
Salts than is contained In one Seidlitz
powder Some eminent Boston physi
cians testified against tho healthful
ness of Rochello Salts
Therefore why should the consumer
pay forty five or fifty cents per pound
for the cream of tartar or Trust bak
ing powders when the best baking
powder in the world can be mado to
retail at twenty five cents per pound
the price asked for Calumet Baking
Powder and leave a fair manufactur
ers profit
The manufacturers of Calumet Bak

Consumption and the Heart
Recent radiographic measurements
show that consumptives except those
who have been accidentally infected
without predisposition do have hearts
of only half the normal size and that
this does not occur in other chronic
diseases The writer finds that these
small hearts are very frequent in
phthisis but thinks this is often duo
to degenerative changes Tho Hos

BOOK OF BOOKS

An Oakland lady who has a taste
for good literature tells what a happy
time she had on The Road to Well
ville She says
I drank coffee freely for eight
years before I began to perceive any
evil effects from it Then I noticed
that I was becoming very nervous
and that my stomach was gradually
losing the power to properly assimi
late my food In time 1 got so weak
that I dreaded to leave tho house
for no reason whatever but because of
the miserable condition of my nerves
and stomach I attributed the trouble
to anything in the world but coffee
of course I dosed myself with medi
cines which in the end would leave
me in a worse condition than at first
I was most wretched and discourag
ednot 30 years old and feeling that
life was a failure
I had given up all hope of ever
enjoying myself like other people till
one day I read the little book The
Road to Wellville It opened-
eyes and taught me a lesson I shall
never forget and cannot value too
highly I immediately quit the use
of the old kind of coffee and began to
drink Postum Food Coffee I noticed
the beginning of an improvement in
the whole tone of my system after
only two days use of the new drink
and in a very short time realized that
I could go about like other people
without the least return of the ner
vous dread that formerly gave me so
much trouble In tact my nervous
ness disappeared entirely and has
never returned although it is now a
year that I have been drinking Postum
Food Coffee And my stomach is now
like iron nothing can upset it
Last week during the big Con
clave in San Francisco I was on the
