Facts About Steel Trust.
" Among other things, the re-
Jort of United States Commiss
oner of corporation, Herbert C.
Knox says:
"Until 18S8, the Wk of busi
ness was distributed among a
very considerable number of con
cerns. There was sharp!competi
tion modified by frequent pools of
greater or less duration and effec
tiveness." ' The prime object of the organ
izers of the United States Steel
corporation seems to have been
restriction of competition. This
corporation was capitalized at
$1,402,000,000 but only had tan
gible property worth $682,000,00$)
it now owns 75 per cent of the
Lake ores upon which tpe pre
sent steel industry is baseid. Ac
cording to the report, this trust
now contro's 60 per cent 'of the
total crude and finished steel pro
ductions of the country.
' Years ago, the corporation ab
sorbed 250 or . more subsidiary
companies.
Then came an era of great
combinations, the report contin
ues, with capita'izations ranging
from $30,000,000 to $100,000,000
mergers of many smaller com
panies, which, instead of elimin
ating competition threatened to
bring price cutting on a larger
jcale than ever before- In 1899
1900 there were three great com
paniesthe Carnegie company,
Federal Steel and National steel
dominating the production of
v crude and semi-finished products,
and six concerns the American
Steel & Wire, American Tin
Plate, American Steel Hoop,
American Sheet Steel. National
Tube and American Bridge con
troll'ng the lighter finished pro
ducts. This was the period when the
"struggle of the giants" was im
pending and when the formation
of the United States Steel Cor-
E oration was conceived and
rought about. All nine of the
companies named were combin
ed and, later, the Union Steel
Company, the Clairton Steel
Company, and in 1907, the Tenn
essee Coal, Iron & Railroad Co.,
were taken over. The promot
ing syndicate putting the deal
through netted . $62500,000 in
cash.
During the ten years of its
'operation, the report says, the
koel trust has paid average an
nual profits of 12 per cent on the
money invested- In this connec
tion attention is called to the
, fact that a considerable part of
' he investment is in undevelop
ed or unworked properties, show
ing that dividends from paying
properties must be much larger
than the average would indicate.
Placing Books on Shelves.
ft "I have been paying a visit to
a fnendlwho is a great book
lover." said a young woman,
"and the moment I walked into
her living room it is a sizable
affair I was impressed with the
arrangement of tooks on the
shelves of the bookcases which
well lined the room, says a writer
in an exchange.
"What was it? Simply that
the books were shoved as far
back as possible, instead of be
ing close to the front edge of the
" shelves. I remarked upon this
as being unusual.
"My hostess said I was not the
a n .e i. i u J -
t I it: she went on to explain why
she did It, and really her reasons
were so sensible that I decided
then and there to follow suit with
my modest number of books at
Vinmp.
The chief advantage is that
dust is not. allowed to accumu-
Ula2 behind the books a bugbear
a-'-s, every housekeeper has to meet
' ' . N H or the tooks pushed as far back
Y .X on the shelves as possible, there
?; is no opportunity for dust to
' gather behind them. The wider
I portion of the shelves in front of
r the books is easy to keep dusted
, i ...... i "This all makes for cleanliness
! ' da well as for a longer and hap
i , nier life for the books, for more
books are injured from dust than
, trom usage
' . "Of course, at first the uneven
ness of the front "line of the
tooks is surprising, but if the
I hnoks are in seta this unevenness
' is really trifling, after all, and
' . when one considers the acmnt
ase of the system the esthetic
, sense may for a lime be relegta
ed to secondary place."

Canning Fruits and Vegetables
There are three subdivisions to
this subject: First, canning in
the household and for household
use only, which can be done on
an ordinary cookstove and with
ordinary cooking utensils, with
the addition possibly of a boiler
and some little tools for solder
ing or closing the vessels. Sec
ond, canning for domestic and
commercial use, both on a scale
that can be done in the ordinary
household or by means of a small
factory in the yard, appliances
for which are furnished by man
ufacturers at from $30 to $100
Then there is a regular manu
facturing plant built by an en
gineer, with a capital of $10,000
to $150,000, or more.
Canning is as simple as cook-
ing- ine product may varjr in
quality as much as cooking, ac
cording to the knowledge and
skill of the canner. The ordi
nary domestic outfit costs from
$5 to $10. The larger outfit, as
above elplained, costs from $30
to $100. What might be consid
ered a regular commercial can
ning factory, totally disconnect
ed from the household service,
costs, as also stated, $10,000 to
$150,000, The United States
Agricultural Department nas
issued some bulletins on canning
which are available upon request,
through Representatives and
Senators. The , Hon. James Wil
son, Secretary of Agriculture,
Washington, can give full infor
mation about these bulletins.

Folks Past Fifty
Must Use 'Cascarets'
What Glasses a e to Weak Eyes,
Cascarets are to Weak Bowels.
Old People Need them and the
Need is Only Natural
You old people Cascarets are
particularly for you. You who
don't exercise as much as you need
to. You who like the easy chair.
You whose steps are slow, and whose
muscles are less elastic. You must
realize that your bowels have also
become less active.
QDon't regard Cascarets as physic.
They stimulate the bowels just as
some foods will do; just as exercise
would do, if you Ijok enough of it.
They are not harsh, ' like salts
and cathartics. The help which
they give to weak bowels is just as
natural and gentle as the spur of
youth.
When eyes grow dim, you help
them. Do the same with tbe bowels
when age makes them less active.
There is nothing more important.
Costive bowels mean the decaying
food is clogged there. And the
ducts of the bowels suck its poisons
into the blood. You can't feel well
until this is corrected. But do it
gently not with a bowel irritant.
And do it regularly one Cascaret a
day. Coax the weak bowels don't
drive them. Just try a 10 cent box
of Cascarets.
There came near being a serious

the girder a distance of forty-three
feet, Miraculouly escaping serious
injury.

Why Girls Excel
Id Cornell University there are
six times as many boys as girls. In
the recent awarding of prizes for
scholarships 15 young women were
honored and but 12 voune men. it
is maintained by competent anthori.
ties thai this ratio is generally mairv
tained in the co-educational institu
tions of the country, and in higher
education tbe girls as a class excel
the boys. ' The reason for this is
probably not so much greater men'
tal capacity as greater seriousness
and application. The majority of
girls who attend a college do so
with a purpose. They do not go
to play basket ball or sing , on the
glee club, or win a letter, but to
mike themselves proficient in some
line of work or study. Buffalo

become so prevalent
that it is not nncom-,

veaj kidneys. If the
child urinates too often, if the urine scalds
the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an
age when it should be able to control the
passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting,
depend upon it, the cause of the diffi
culty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of
the kidneys and bladder and not to a
habit as most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made miser

Scriptural Evidences That Are Aston

Without the Knowledge.
We do our friends a valuable service
when we call their attention to the
valuable book entitled, "THE TIME
IS AT HAND," in which are given
many Scriptural evidences to prove
where we are on Ihe stream of time.
"Men's hearts are failing them for
fear" and many of the leading think
ers are proposing remedies to better
conditions. The Scriptures assure us
that man's extremity will be God's
opportunity, and this book hohls out
an anchor to those who fear1 the wave
of unrest now spreading over the
world.
The honest heart confesses that it is
at a loss for. an explanation of tran
spiring events. While we refer to this
as the BRAIN AGE and the Age of
ENLIGHTENMENT, nevertheless
many realize that we ore fast ap
proaching a crisis which Is wrapped in
darkness owing to the present world

rest -
As though by Instinct the whole
creation, while it groans and travails
in pain together, waits for, longs for
and hopes for the DAY, calling it the
GOLDEN AGEJ'; yet men grope
blindly because not aware of the great
Jehovah's gracious purposes. And to
his wondering Creatures, looking at the
length and breadth, the height and
depth of the love of God, surpassing
all expectation, He explains: "Jiy
thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, saith
the Lord; for as the heavens are high
er than the earth so are my ways
higher than your ways, and my
thoughts than') your thoughts." Isa.
