MR. CARNEGIE SPEAKS. j And Mr. Carnegie says "The cost of j producing steel at Gary will not be half the cost of producing steel in j England notwithstanding the cheaper j cost-of labor abroad." j And Mr. Schwab has said: "The U. j S. Steel Company does not need the protection half as much as the Independent Companies." So where are you and what can you ; believe? Both statements are plausible. Hut the fact is that Schwab is in the company and Carnegie is out of It. The question is whether or no Mr. Schwab la, after all, so anxious about the fate of the Independent companies. It does not stand to reason. And yetMr. Schwab is for protection and Mr. Cajrnegle is for tariff revision. Now It looks very much as if Mr. Carnegie were to be trusted. He &dinits that the principal use of the tariff even in hi3 day was to prevent the foreign manufacturers of steel ' from dumping their surplus into this country and making their profits in that way. Now isn't that just what the U. S. Steel Company has been doing, lo these many years, at the expense of the people, the consumers in this country? The people have an Idea that the Independent companies can take care of themselves agains the Steel Trust if they have done so thus far. , If the steel companies can produce with their modern methods at half the cost of the European companies what excuse is there for a tariff wall around the United States at the expense of crippling other Industries? That is protection which does not protect the people. Certain tariffs for the raising of revenue there of course must be; but raw materials and semi-raw materials, like steelf need to be as low as possible for the whole good of the country. In a way the steel industry is analogous to the paper-pulp industry. The tariff on paper-pulp has enriched this one trust with the result that it has corao perilously near destroying the newspaper and -other publishing industries.'" And in the same way the steel used all over the country with the aid of a high tariff has come very nearly killing the Industries which use steel. It is evident that ultimately if these Industries are crippled it will hurt the steel business also. Can the U. S. Steel company afford to force its consumers to the wall In this country and live off the foreign market? More over, can the people of the United States afford to let this condition of affairs go on? With a. cheaper cost of production In the steel industry than abroad the American workman will be cared for. AVith a lower tariff the consumers of the steel industry will be benefited. And the United States Steel company will still make some money, rest assured of that.

than see the vital statictlcs contain a bloody and sickening record of babies killed all the year (but particularly iu hot weather) by the spoiled and contaminated milk. There may be some doubt as to whether the tuberculin test works. It may not always work. But the fact remains that it. is the surest thing that has yet been discovered. The Zzct remains also that the best and most up-to-date dairymen in the country and abroad, welcome it Tha fact remains that a cow that has stood the tuberculin test is a much more valuable animal than the cow that has not stood it. The public cennot pretend to act as arbiter between the scientific men in the matter of a tuberculin test, but one thing is pretty certain, and that is, if there is any good in it, as the majority of experts saythe public is entitled to the benefit of it. If anybody believes in the pure food law it will not be hard to persuade them of the benefit of a suitable milk ordinance. One thing though the public must remember is that you can't get milk inspection that is not a farce without paying enough to get efficient men to carry on the inspection. It is better to pay in money, cent by cent, than it is to pay in blood of innocent children, drop by drop. The ordinance may b modified, but if it is emasculated so that tho public and dairies get the raw end of it and an inspector gets a salary for doing nothing, the thing will bo worse than none. There must be competent and efficient service.

THE SCRAP BOOK H

A MILK ORDINANCE. An ordinance has been introduced into council which has for its purpose the guaranteeing of pure milk to the citizens of Richmond. Suffice It to say that the ordinance is in its resent form as comprehensive as it can well be. But it is to be feared that this very fact will kill it. Reduced to its lowest terms the proposition comes very near home. Without adequate legislation on this subject there will be inferior milk sold. In

ferior milk kills babies and spreads disease among people of all ages. Is

Richmond going to lie down on this

matter because the local milk suppliers

will be put to trouble to make their

milk what the citizens are paying for? j

When the law comes to a test there will be doubtless, a hue and cry among those same dairymen whose dairies were Inspected last summer and found wanting. It is reasonablo to suppose that the dairymen will tell tho cltizcna that they will raise the price of milk. This may appeal to some peopleBut there are people who think it is worth, while to make the dairymen take proper caro of their cattle and

tfcelr milk and will be willing to pay;

a cent or two more on the quart for pure milk. They would rather do that than pay out funeral expenses and doctors bills. They would rather do that

The Stomach Does Not Cause Dyspeysia

Neither Will It Cure It Because The Lack of Gastric Juices Prohibit Relief. The stomach is a strong, powerful organ, which is composed of muscles of great strength. It is filled during digestion, with gastric juices, which when the stomach, extending and confpressing the food, dissolve it and separate the nourishment from the waste matter. If, however, these gastric juices are lacking, tho stomach is not capable of digesting its food because it has not the tools with which to work successfully. The gastric juices, when in a perfect state, do away with all foul odors, fermentation and decay, reduce the food to a disintegrated mass and the stomach then presses It into the intestines where another form of digestion takes pace- Then the intestines take from this mass of food all that is nourishing and give it to the blood. The waste matter is thrown from the system. If instead of nourishment the Intestines receive Impure deposits combined with a poisonous and Imperfect gastric juice, it can be readily seen that they must turn such imperfect nourishment into the blood. The blood then being able to give each part of the body that which it requires, becomes impoverished and disease is spread broadcast. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets corrects such a condition at once. If the gastric juices are lacking and imperfect, these tablets do their work just the same. They build up the elements in the juice which are lacking and remove those elements which cause disturbance. Meat, grains, fluids, vegetables and delicacies, in fact each portion of a large meal have been placed in a glass vial, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have digested them to a perfect fluid

just as a healthy stomach would do.

A large complex, hearty meal holds

no terrors for a dyspeptic if Stuart's

Dyspepsia tablets are used. Abnormal eating, late dinners, rich foods.

cause ill effects to the stomach, but when Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are

used one may eat when and what one

will, without danger of dyspepsia or discomfort. Forty thousand physicians endorse and prescribe Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and every druggist carries them in stock, price T0c.

Boy sun's Story of His Boy. The late HJalmar Hjorth Boyesen once told this story of his little son, Hjalmar H. Boyesen 2d: The boy had been taken over Brooklyn bridge for the first time and had plied, his father with questions about the big structure all the way over, all the way back and all the way home. Upon their return the professor, worn out with the fusillade to which he had been subjected, retired to his study, but just as he sank into bis easy cbair bis son appeared and, apropos of nothing, queried, "Say, papa, didn't you say that God lived up above the clouds T The father wearily answered, "Why, yes, I guess so." "Well, papa, if we were tip above the clouds we'd come through, wouldn't we?" The man vouchsafed a brief, "I suppose so." "Well, papa, why" .At that point the professor's patience gave out and he said: "There, son, don't ask it. Go to your mother. The child retreated, but just as he lifted his hand to the doorknob be turned and said, "Say, papa, don't you know a great deal more about the Brooklyn bridge than you do about God?"

THE DECAY OF A PEOPLETnis the true sign of ruin to a raceIt undertakes no march and day by day Drowses in camp or with the laggrard's pace Walks sentry o'er possessions that decay. Destined with sensible waste to fleet away F"or the first secret of continued power Is the continued conquest all our sway Hath surety in the uses of the hour. If that we waste, in vain walled town and lofty tower! William Gilmore Simms.

Why the Dogs Gave Out. Sir Leopold McLintock, the arctic explorer, was once giving an account of bis experiences amid the ice fields of . the north. "We certainly would have traveled much farther," he explained, "had not our dogs given out at a critical moment." "But," exclaimed a lady who had been listening very intently, "I thought that the Eskimo dogs were perfectly tireless creatures?" Sir Leopold's face wore a whimsically gloomy expression as he replied, "I er speak in a culinary sense, miss." Whipped His Friends. Once when Daniel O'Connell was visiting Tipperary the mob wanted to take the horses from O'Connell's carriage and draw him themselves upon his way. "This will never do," he said to his daughter-in-law. "Their intentions are excellent, but they'll get so excited that we'll find ourselves in the ditch presently." Bursting open the carriage door, in a moment he was out among these gigantic Tipperary men, just as big as any one of them. "Now, boys, be reasonable," he said. "Leave the horses under the carriage." "But share we'd rather pull you along ourselves, sir," was the reply as the preparations for so doing went gallantly forward. "All right I On your own heads be It!" cried O'Connell good hnmorediy. And, throwing off his coat, he set to with pugilistic Intent, boxing them right and left until he got them to desist. Their amusement and delight knew no bounds, and when on regaining the carriage he doubled up bis hand and shook it at them, with a beaming smile and a twinkling eye, the air was .. rent with enthusiastic shouting, and he drove off even a greater hero than when he had come.

Cambridge City, lnd., Dec. 23. The Helen Hunt Club met with Mrs. Ophe

lia Shults, Monday afternoon. It was Reciprocity Day, and the papers were read, "Does the Club Woman Need a Defender," and "Pioneer Women" were read by Miss Lillle Conklia and Mrs. John Shroyer. The former brought out the thought that "the literary club is the University, for tho middle-aged woman, while- the latter emphasized the fact that the term "pioneer" does not necessarily refer to women in the early history of the state, but to women who have begun great movements. She gavo as examples, May Wright Sewall, Mrs. Lew Wallace, Sarah K. Bolton, Catherine Merrill, while Mrs. Virginia C. Meredith was given as pioneer In "Agriculture for Women."

Dttc If was agreed " Chat 'ttie "painter should have his meals provided at the expense of the convent until the work should be finished. But the only food supplied to the poor artist was bread, onions and water. The day for unveiling the fresco arrived. The friars stood around the artist, asd the curtain was removed. It was no doubt an excellent piece of work; but the saint had his back turned toward the spectators. "What does this mean?" indignantly demanded the prior. "Padre," explained the artist, "I was compelled to paint the picture as yoa see it, for the saint could not bear the smell of onions !" Harper's Weekly.

People to Be Pitied. Pitiful is the case of the blind, who cannot read the face; pitiful the case of the deaf, who cannot follow the changes of the voice. And there are others also to be pitied, for there are some of an inert and ineloquent nature who have been denied all the symbols of communication, who have neither a lively play of facial expression nor speakimg gestures nor a responsive voice nor yet the gift of frank, explanatory speech people truly made of clay, people tied for life into a bag which no one can undo. They are poorer than the gypsy, for their heart can speak no lapguage under heaven. -Stevenson. Beyond All Music. At one of the Yorkshire Inns, relates a Liverpool contemporary, there is a pianist who can improvise accompaniments to any song that any singer wishes to sing. He cannot read a note of music, yet, in the local vernacular, he "can play owt." Recently, however, he met with an unexpected check. A man hummed over an air, but the pianist failed to get the key. "Let's try it again," he said. And they tried It again. Still It was of no use. A third trial brought no better result. Then the pianist turned to the singer In anger and said: "Sitha, aw've tried tha on t' white 'una, aw've tried tha on t' black 'uns and Aw've tried tha on t' black and white 'uns mixed. It's no use. Tha's singing between t cracks!"

His Last Job. Bill Nye In his earlier days once approached the manager of a lecture bureau with an application for employment and was asked if he had ever done anything in that line. "Oh, yes," said Bill. "What have you done?" "Well," replied Bill, "my -last job was In a dime museum, sitting in a barrel with the top of my bead sticking out posing as the largest ostrich egg in captivity."

Trimming Ship. The Wickfords, who for several weeks had been touring Europe, had reached Pisa and were at the top of the famous leaning tower. Mr. Wlckford was thin and wiry, but bis wife was so fleshy as to be almost a burden to herself. As she stood clinging to the railing on the higher side, gasping for breath and fanning herself, he cautiously approached the lower side, lay flat on his stomach and, grasping one of the uprights, pulled himself forward until he could look down over the edge. The effect was terrifying, and, with a hasty exclamation, he drew back. The tower seemed to be falling, and he could feel his hair rising to meet the emergency. "What is it, Nathan r asked his wife, starting toward him. "Get back there, Candace, quick!" he gasped. "If you bring your weight over here the whole thing will go over surer

Hen Fruit Still Up in the Clouds

Fine Line Gents' Watches, Haner's. He Stretched It Little. Exaggeration artistically used sometimes approaches a fine art. A writer In Brooklyn Life relates the following conversation: "You must have bad some very narrow escapes from death in your eventful career," said an admirer to the great detective. "I have had a few," be admitted modestly. "Probably the closest shave I have had was when a band of South American outlaws hanged me and went away without noticing that they had strung me up to a rubber tree."

"Will you be willing to sacrifice your desire for a snowy Christmas providing that the American hen will cease producing gold bricks, which even in bulk can not be secured by the average citizen for less than three cents apiece?" Such was the reply of a poultry rais

er yesterday in answer .to the question

as to when the hen fruit would be of normal value again. He believes that another such week as last will make the hens begin working again. However If the weather turns cold again it is very probable that all the King's horsea and all the King's men would not succeed in accomplishing the desired results.

New Necklaces and La Valliers at Haner's. WORK IN SPRING. Work on South L street, which is about three-fourths completed, will be resumed in the spring, it being impossible for the contractors to finish the thoroughfare during freezing weather. It was hoped that the street could be placed in good condition before winter but it was seen some time ago that this would be impossible.
