'The Handy Doctor in Your \ I ' Vest Pocket i * 'T'S a thin , round-cornered little Enamel Box When carried in your vest pocket it means Health-Insurance. Jt contains Six Candy Tablets of pleasant 'taste , almost as pleasant as Chocolate. Each tablet is & working dose of Cas- carets , which acts like Exercise on the .Bowels and Liver. It will not purge , sicken , nor upset the tsfomach. Because it Is not a "Bile-driver , " like Salts , Sodium , Calomel , Jalap , Senna , nor .Aperient Waters. Neither is it like Castor Oil , Glycerine , or other Oily Laxatives that simply lubricate the Intestines for transit of the food stopped citp in them at that paiticular time. * * # The chief cause of Constipation and Indigestion is a. weakness of the Muscles that contract the Intestines and Bowels. Cnscarets arc practically to the Bowel Muscles what a. Massage and Cold Bath jaie lo the Athletic Muscles. They stimulate the Bowel Muscles to . contract , expand , and squeeze the Digestive - * tive Juices out of food eaten. They don't help the Bowels and Liver In tsuch a way as to make them lean upon similar assistance for the future. This is why , with Cascarets , the dosa may be lessened each succeeding time instead of increased , as it must be with all other Cathartics and Laxatives. * * * Cascarets act like exerclss. If carried in your vest pocket , ( or carried In My Lady's Purse , ) and eaten just when you cuspect you need one , you will never , knowatick day from the ordinary Ills of life.

Wasnlngton , D. a FROM THE COMMONER MR. BRYAN'S PAPER A HoMtoti K.Yiisi le. The Prcsid it in his recent message gives an illustration o trust methods , lie { oils of Boston's experience with a coiMlfin.itionvhifh secured control of the market. lie says : "Allppatioiuj are often made to the effect that there is no real need for these laws looking to the more effective control of the grr.it corporations , upon the ! ground that they will do their work well without swh control. I call your attention to the . icrornpaiiying copy of a report just sub mitted by Mr. Nathan Matthews , chair man of the finance commission , to the Mayor and City Council of Boston , relat ing to certain evil practices of various . orporations which have been bidders for furnishing to the city iron and steel. This report shows that there have been exten sive combinations formed among the vari ous corporations which have business with the city of Boston , including , for instance , a carefully planned combination embrac ing practically all the firms and corpora tions engaged in structural steel work in Xi-w England. This combination included substantially all the local concerns , and many of the lar.go.st corporations in the United States , engaged in manufacturing or furnishing structural steel for use in any part of New England ; it affected the States , the cities and towns , the railroads and street railways , and generally all I'or--ons in that section of the country. As r.-.ranis the city of Boston , the combina tion resulted in parceling out the work by collusive bids , plainly dishonest , and sup ported by false affirmation. "I have submitted this report to the Department of Justice for thorough in- u-aigation and for action if action shall pro- practicable.

" fiiu.se of the material benefits such legis lation will SOPH re , but above all because this federal action should be part , -and a largo part , of the campaign to waken our popple as a whole to a lively and effec tive condemnation of the low standard of morality implied in Mich conduct on the part of great business concerns. The first duty of every man is to provide a liveli hood for himself and for those dependent upon him ; it is from every standpoint de sirable that each of our citizens should endeavor by hard work and honorable methods to secure for him and his such a competence as will carry with it the opportunity to enjoy in reasonable fash ion the comforts and refinements of life ; and. furthermore , the man of great busi ness ability who obtains a fortune in up right fashion inevitably in so doing con fers a benefit upon Hie community as a whole and is entitled to reward , to re spect and to admiration. P ut among the many kinds of evil , social , industrial and political , which it is our duty as a nation sternly to combat , there is none at the same time more base and more danger ous than the greed which treats the plain niul simple rules of honesty with cynical contempt if they interfere with making a profit ; and as a nation we can not be held guiltless if we condone such action. The man who preaches hatred of wealth hon estly acquired , who inculcates envy and jealousy and slanderous ill will toward those of his fellows who by thrift , energy and industry have become men of means , is a menace to the community. " This is a splendid illustration of the manner in which the public is robbed bj private monopoly. It is time that the pri vate monopoly was exterminated , for its extermination , instead of destroying busi ness , will revive business and at the same time relieve the public from one of its menaces. Pleading vrith the Speaker. Newspaper dispatches say that Presi- Jent Roosevelt invited Speaker Cannon to biie White House. May . " , and bluntly rold him that unless he allowed the House to do something for the public interests lie would be respensible for Republican lefeat. The President particularly want ed the wood pulp bill passed. R forring to the conference between the Presitteet and tba Speaker , Walter Well- man in a dispatch printed in the Chicago cage Record-Herald says : "Why pass a bill simply because the newspaper publishers want it ? The coun try will declare we' have discriminated in favor of the newspapers and we will re ceive the.righteous swatting of the voters because we have done something for them and not for the rest of the people. " This , in substance , is understood to be the Cannon argument , or excuse , for not yielding to widespread pressure anent free-listing pulp and paper. It is an ex cuse , however , that has been readily met by the ne\r plan of action at the White House. "If you want to do something for the rest of the people as well , you have the chance. " That .was in substance the an swer given to Speaker Cannon to-day. "Here's the postal savings bank proposi tion. It has been urged by the adminis tration , is in the interest of the whole people , and the people , having studied the matter , want the system established. They want that just as much as the publishers want wood pulp and print paper on the free list. You alone stand in the way of both propositions. Act in both matters , or get off the lid and let the House act and then it can not be said that Congress was discriminating in favor of any single interest. " This must be interesting reading for Republicans who yet believe that the Re publican party intends to represent the people. Here the President of the United States invites the Speaker to the White House and pleads with him to give Republican publishers and. of course , publishers gen erally relief from tariff imposition. Axel when the Speaker says that a wood pulp bill would be a dangerous object lesson for voters who yet imagine that the for eigner pays the tax and that "the rest of the people" will then demaud some re lief , the President says ho might give "the rest of the people" the postal savings bank. "Uncle Joe" is right so far as the object lesson is concerned. A great many Republicans who have for yea re patiently submitted to tariff exactions arc very like ly in the face of tariff revisions for the benefit of the newspaper publishers to ask "why not tariff revision for consum ers generally ? " And why not tariff revision ? If it is good for the newspaper publisher why not give it to the consumers generally ? And how does it happen that this great po litical organization , whose loaders insist that it is the party of the people , the "party of God and morality , " can not be persuaded to legislate in public interests ? It can hardly be coaxed to give enough in the way of remedial legislation to which the Republican political managers may point as an excuse for the re-election of their party to the control of the na tional government. So the Eye May Sec. An Elgin National watch , seven jewels , in an open-face twenty-year gold-filled case costs the American retailer of watches $10.75 , which may be represent ed by a line thus : This same watch is sold to the dealer in England for the sum of $7.41 , which may be represented by a line thus : The American purchaser is therefore compelled to pay , in addition to the deal ers' regular profit , thirty-seven per cent more for an American made watch than the English customer is compelled to pay , which may be represented by this : Paid by American purchaser. Paid by English purchaser. The American watch trust is enabled to thus rob the American consumer by rea son of the protective tariff. Why delay tariff revision ? InnnrJiiR Bank Deposits. A citizen o Illinofs writes to ono of the Oklahoma officiate ae follows : "I am very much plca d wifsh jpnr lavr for t - curing l > ank deposits. I have been n resident of Illinois for a number of years , was a depositor in a bank that failed there , and on account of your favorable banking laws for depositors , I transfe'- rc'l my account to the b nk of Oklahoma. My account is small , but ( t amounts to more than seven thou.'rarxl dollars. I have friends who loft Illinois with twice as much as I had , who wrot- * to , Okla. I and my friends came from county , and therr are other friends who will transfer tlieit accounts to remain on deposit because they like the security. I write you for no other purpose than to let you know how the people of other States appreciate the banking laws of Oklahoma. Wishing you success , I am , yours truly , . " The Commoner has a copy of the let ter , but the name of. the writer , together with the name of his county in Illinois , and the name of the banks in Oklahoma to which the money was sent , have been omitted that no injustice might be done by the publication of the letter. The fact that banks of Oklahoma am made secure by a law that compels all the banks to stand back of each bank is already having its effect. There is no doubt that Kansas and Nebraska will adopt a similar law as soon as the Leg islatures can be elected , and the reform is bound to spread. At present , many of the leading bankers are opposing it un der the false impression that it would hurt the larger banks. It will not take from the large bank any legitimate ad vantage , and the bankers themselves will soon be compelled to favor the law , be cause the people will demand the secur ity and will send their money where the security can be found. Why not make tfie banks safe ? Why not protect de positors ? We should have laws. State and national , giving assurance to deposit ors that their earnings , when deposited in banks , will be safe. The bankers who have opposed such legislation are respon sible for the growth of sentiment in favor of postal savings banks. Their selfishness is short-sighted and they will find , by talking to their depositors , that they are destroying the influence they used to have as advisers. Many bankers are already taking a broader view of the subject and are advocating the guaranty plan. May their tribe increase. Secretary Tuft Misquoted. Secretary Tail claims that he has been misquoted. lie did not say that "wo must Ix k forward to a gigantic controversy between labor and capital : " he was quot ed as saying this , but as expressing the hope that it would be peaceably settled. What he said was. ' "That unless labor ers united into organizations , the laborer would stand no chance in that inevitable controversy that wo always hope will be peaceful but that must exist that inev itable controversy as to how labor and capital shall share the joint product of both. " The Commoner is glad to aid in set ting Mr. Taft right before the public , for it can appreciate fche annoyance of incorrect reports of speeches. An Aldrich bill under the Vreelaml name would provide just as much commer cial stenoh. Senator Warner of Missouri talks like a Republican who realizes that the negro vote of Missouri can not possibly change the result this year. While claiming great credit for trying to preserve our forcsts bJ' mpans of tlie "forest reserve act , " the administration continues to offer a premium for the de struction of forests by retaining the tariff on lumber and wood pulp. When Mr. Tener of Pennsylvania takes a seat in Congress he will find his for mer experience as a baseball pitcher handy. He will have to perform some mighty curves in order to get anything worth while post Speaker Cannon. The wages of o,000 Massachusetts cotton mill operatives were cut ten per cent last week. The week before GO- 000 other operatives were subjected tea a similar cut , and 35,000 more will get Che same kind of a Republican tariff pros perity dose next year.

In the installation of a co-operative sewing shop at Manhattan , another prac tical side of the Women's Trade Union League has developed along lines of great utility to the women workers. Los Angeles. Cal. , has a new publica tion which is devoted to the union label of the various organizations. It is in tended to instruct all classes of people as to labels and what they stand for. An effort is being made at Washington , B.

Organized electrical workers in Minne apolis , Minn. , are taking more than an ordinary interest in the proposed street illumination plans , and are making an organized campaign in favor of electricity in street lighting. The attempt to combine the business men of all France into a non-political pro tective association , to be known as "The Federation of French Manufacturers and Business Men , " is reported to be making satisfactory progress. The officers of the International Brass Molders' Union of North America report that since the establishment of the inter national , in October , IDOi , the member ship has increased to 10,000. The organ ization pays sick and death benefits. Of the 232 labor organizations formed last year in Canada , ol were formed by railway employes. 43 by metal workers and 41 in the building trade. Ninety- four organizations were formed in On tario , 51 in Quebec , 2S in Alberta and 22 in British Columbia. Practically one out of every throe union men in the State was idle at the close of 1907 , according to the quarterly bulletin of the New York State labor de partment. In New York City the percent age was 34.2 as compared with 32.7 for the remainder of the State. Duriug the year 1007 , G-1S3 new indus- ! ries were reported in the South , com pared with 0,411 in 11)0(5 ) , which was the best record ever made. The loading States were Texas. 3,3-53 ; Oklahoma , 794 , and Virginia. Tennessee , North Carolina lina , Alabama and Arkansas , from 400 to 5oO each. An act was passed by the Tennessee Legislature to make it unlawful to allow any female child under sixteen to work in any manufacturing establishment more than sixty-two hours in any one week in 1908 , or more than sixty-one bout's in 1909 , and after Jan. 1 , 1910. more than sixty hours. Much enthusiasm is displayed by the labor men of Baltimore , Md. , over the passage of the new eight-hour law , which is regarded as effective. The new meas ure , which passed the Legislature several weeks ago , is now in force. It is pat terned after laws in several of the West ern States , and has stood the test of the } United States Supreme Court.

TALKS OF FOOD Pre.s. of Hoard ot Health. "What shall I eatV" is the daily hjt quiry the physician is met with. I do not hesitate to say that in my judg ment a large percentage of disease is caused by poorly selected and improp erly prepared food. My personal ex perience with the fully-cooked food , known as Grape-Nuts , enables me to speak freely of its merits. "From overwork , I suffered several years with malnutrition , palpitation of the heart , and loss of sleep. Last sum mer I was led to experiment personally with the new food , which I used in con junction with good rich cow's milk. In a short time after I commenced its use. the disagreeable symptoms disappeared , my heart's action became steady and normal , the functions of the stomach were properly carried out and I again slept as soundly and as well as in my. youth. "I look upon Grape-Nuts as a perfect , food , and no one can gainsay but that it has a most prominent place in a ra tional , scientific systenTbf feeding. Any one who uses this food will soon be con vinced of the soundness of the principle jpon which it Is manufactured and may thereby know the facts as to its true svorth.
