bad back. No rest, no sleep, no peace
at all. It begins In the morning, when
you get up from bed so lame, sore and
stiff that It is hard to bend over to put
your shoes on.
All dav there is a heavy, dull, throb
bing pain in the small of the back. Just
over the kidneys. It hurts to bend over,
to lift anything or even to get up from
a chair. Any sudden, backward move
ment sends a sharp, darting twinge
through the sore spot.
, When night conies the sufferer retires
to fitful Mleep, can't He comfortable In
Vmiy on powltlc
I ilnful effort.
Don't look e
Hlon, or turn over without a
at backache as merely a
muscular pain, that will pass away with
rest. There Is a deeper trouble. Nine
times nut of ten it Is the kidneys Uiat
throb and ache, and there can be no re
lief until the kidneys are given help.
The kidneys have a big work to do.
All the blood In the body is coursing

weak, the secretions passing very irreg

"What la a Quart!"
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. Speclal Press
dispatches from Valparaiso, Peru, an
nounce that there Is a report current thert
that J. Plerpont Morgan Is organising ar
English syndicate with a capital of some
thing like 50,000.000 sterling to rover the
nitrate products of the world. The Islands
off the Paclflo coast of South America
have for years furnished practically all
the nitrate deposits of the earth, nnd Peru
and Chill have fought several wars over
the control of some of these Islands.
The recent death of General W. W. Dud
ley, former commissioner of pensions, com
bined with a report that Banker Morgan
Is engaged In a plan to control the nitrates
of the world, calls to mind the fact that
the so-called Landreau claim Is still un
settled. Landreau was an American citl
sen who purchased a concession covering
one of the Peruvian Islands rich in guano
deposits, and, as It Is alleged, was deprived
of his holdings. So far back as the lays
of Secretary Blaine this claim was a cause
celebre. It has been a subject of negotia
tion for upwards of three decades, and it
la alleged that the Geneva tribunal de
cided in favor of Landreau a year or two
ago. But the claim has never been settled,
The original Landreau Is dead, his grand
son has passed on, and one. of his attor
neys. General Dudley, was burled here only
last week. General Dudley's surviving
partner. General Mitchner, Is of the opin
ion that the attempt of the Morgan syn
dicate to control the nitrate deposits may
possibly result in the ultimate settlement
of the Landreau claims. But "manana" Is
the motto of the South American countries
and unhws some vigorous Knoxlan policy
Is marked, it may be that several genera
tions will pass away before the Landreau
claim is settled. In spite of the fact that
J. Plerpont Morgan is trying io control the
nitrate deposits of the world.
Now It's What Is Quart t"
President Taft answered the question
"What Is whisky" greatly to the tattsfao
tion of the gentlemen engaged In combin
ing two or three different distillations. At
torney General Bonaparte Insisted that
whisky was the direct product of the still,
with no extraneous substances Incorpo
rated. Any product of a rectifying estab
lishment which contained more or less than
was produced from the distiller's worm was
according to Mr. Bonaparte's ruling a com
pound and not whisky, but President Taft
has decided that what is known as whisky
commercial la whisky official from this
time on, and now he and his cabinet are
confronted with the question, "What is a
quart V
The new penal code which went Into ef
fect January 1 provides that when liquors
whether spirituous, vinous or malt, are
shipped from one state to another the pack
age in which they are sent must' in addi
tion to giving the name of the consignee,
show plainly on the labels the character of
the contents and the quantities of same.
Ordinarily whisky is put up in bottles
five to the gallon. Commercially these
bottles are known as quarts, but the ques
tion arises as to whether or Hot a ship
ment containing six of these bottles can be
designated as six quarts or whether th?
labels must show that there are exactly
six-fifths of a gallon In the package. Ap
parently there Is no one yet competent to
answer that question. The railroads and
the express companies who are held re
sponsible under heavy penalties for the
transport of shipments Improperly labeled
have declined to render an opinion, the
law officers of the government will not an
swer questions from parties outside the ex
ecutive departments, and the consequence
Is that shippers are In a qaundary as to
where they stand. It Is probable, therefore,
that President Taft will have to supple
ment his decision on the question of "What
Is whisky" by deciding "what Is a quart."
Hit at Hotter Trust.
Recent press dispatches have asserted
that there Is a great trust in exintenceto
control the price of butter. It Is asserted
that some of the Chicago houses dealing
In dairy products have practically cornered
the butter market with the purpose of
forcing the price of this household neccs
tlty to a figure which will net thein enor
mous profits, which the consumer must
make good. On top of that statement Rep
resentative Burleson of Texas has intro
duced a bill which will shortly bp consid
ered by the committee on agriculture of
the house to reduce the tax on oleomar
garine from 10c a pound to He a pound.
The present tax Is He on uncolored oleo
margarine, but If any colored matter what
ever Is Incorporated Into the product It
will pay a tax of 10c a pound. Sooretary
McVeagh Is understood to endorse this
bill heartily on the ground that the lower
tax rate, providing some amendments to
the present law are adopted, will assure
the sale of oleomargarine for exactly what
It is and will at the same time increase the
revenue. The Burleson bill will undoubt
edly moot with strenuous opposition on
the part of the so-called bntter trust, but
at the same time the high price of buttor
has Induced many labor organizations and
other combinations of consumers to urge
that the tax on the Imitation product be
reduced, so that those who desire to lubri
cate their food with a wholesome nrt'ele
of commerce may not be forced to pay the
exorbitant tax of 10 cents a pound for the
privilege of doing so. The present agita
tion promises to be as acrimonious as that
of 1890, which resulted In the forcing of the
Grout bill through congress In spite of the
fact that at least 50 per cent of those who
voted for that measure were honestly op
posed to Its principles.

Bloody Finger
Imprint Solves
MurdcrMystery
Two Soldiers Who Killed Widow of
Former Governor of Bank of
France Arrested.
PARIS, Jan. 5. The imprint of a bloody
finger on a military ticket taken up on
the train on which Mme. Qouln, widow
of Jules Edouard Qouln, a former governor
of the Bank of France was traveling De
cember 16, has led to the solving of the
mystery of her death.
Mme Gouin's body was found under a
train near Paris on that date. The door of
the compartment which the had occupied
as a passenger was almost torn from Its
hinges, and there was a pool of blood on
the floor. Subsequent Investigation showed
that she had been robbed. Two soldiers,
named Oraby nnd Jllchol, tor'.ay confetsed
to having murdered tho woman. The po
lice followed up the first clue of the finger
mark, and they succeeded In locating a
former comiade of tho two solditrs, who
declared that he saw them embark on IhU
train at Melum, which Is thirty-seven
miles from Paris. When confronted with
this, witness the two suspects broke down
and made a full confession.
They had long meditated robbing a pas
sengi r, the soldiers said, and loc k seals
in the coach next to that In which Mine.
Gouln was traveling. They passed Into
her compartment by the corridor, and as
soon as the train ztartid sprung upon
her and beat her on the hiad with the
heel of a shoe. They then took her Jewels
and money and finding no signs of life de
cided to throw her on the tracks. Oraby
opended the door, but because of the
Jarring motion of the train It closed sud
denly, catching his hand. In order to re
lease himself he broke down the door and
went to the lavatory to wash hl.i Injured
finger, while his companion threw the b .dy
out of the compartment. The polic? f ,unr
the missing Jewelry in the pohsessljn of
the two men.

As a culmination to the saloon war waHed

tonight refused to grant licenses to the
four saloons of the town and the lid is on.
All but one saloon have bet'n closed since

council asking It to close the saloons in
definitely. A majority of the voters of
every ward of the lown, with the exception
of one, which waa a tie, was attached to
the petitions. The vote stood 6 to 2 In
every case except one, whieh was a tie,
and Mayor Henry Harlow declared no par

licenses.
An ordinance was also passed prohibiting
the maintaining of card tables In the pool
