r a WILL READ ANTI-TRUST MESSAGE TODAY L Document Meets With Approval V of Cabinet Officers. FEATURES ARE OUTLINED. 1 ? ! i Wilson Makes It Pluin Business ! World Should t?e (iiven Chance to Express Its Views. Washington, Jan. 17.?President Wilron today announced that he would read his message on anti-trust reform to a joint session of both houses of Con cress Tuesday. The President already has shown the document to Democratic leaders iu Congress, members of the two [ congressional committee in charge of i the legislation p.nd to members of the | Cabinet. All have expressed ap- ( proval. I The President has left to Congress 1 the task of raining the detailsed rem-I edies. Resides the provision for an ( interstate trade commission the pro- j hihition of interlocking directorates and reduction of the "debatable area" j of the Sherman law, three hitherto announced features of the President's 1 plan are: CARDINAT, FEATURES. S Prohibition of holding compalnes. ! Corporations would be forbidden to j own or hold shares or be interested in the business of actual competitors: I ?k/v ? r t* a. i iuu ctv;i|uiMiiuu ui a turn ui iuienf?w?? ' In non-competltlve concerns would be N possible only with the consent of the ' the proposed Interstate trade commls- ,1 slon. _ Empowering the Interstate Com- | merce Commission to regulate and supervise the issuance or railroad bonds so the public would exercise through the Commission a retain control over the future use to which money obtained from the issue of stocks or bonds would be put. Wherever a tthe instance of the Government, either in dvll or crlml- ^ nal proceedings .the courts have ren- ' dered judgment on th , unlawfulness , N of any combination, individuals or, concerns aggrieved th "ough the com- j binatlon would have the benefit of such adjudication and not be required | in their suits to prove again the illegality of the combination. i ^ The President has dealt with those general principles on which he believes public sentiment is agreed that F correction is unnecessary. Tie has emprnsized that a spirit of friendliness should characterize the method of approaching the work of reform. To this end. the President, it was learned today, is behind the an- ^ pounced program of public hearings on tlie proposed bills. A give rusiness a chance. v Tho Provident has made It plain that tho business world should ho given full opportunity to express Its views. Tho President is anxious, too. that J ample time he given in the lepislation for all business to adjust itself to new conditions even to a period of from one to two years. Thte President considers the prolii- _ bltior. of lioldinp companies as a vital part of the program. He believes that, beginning; with the decision by the United States supreme court in the Northern Securities case, holding companies have come under the ban ? of public disapproval. While governor of New Jersey he obtained legis- ? lation prohibiting holding companies n In that state and permitting only such mergers of non-competltlve concerns as were sanctioned by the public ? utilities commission. P An analogous function, it Is under- * stood, would be given to tho new in- t( terstato trade commission through its powers of inquisition and tnvesti- B gation of what constitutes competitive ? and noncompetitive conditions. It is 11 recognised by Administration advo- 's cates of this feature that there are many cases in which a wide-sweeping prohibition of holding companies might prevent the organzatlon of B useful enterprises. P RAILROAD SECURITIES. |> The supervision of tho issuance of P railroad securities is to be recom- P mond^ri hv thA odmlnlartoHAn In tl belief that railroad capitalization and Q the Issuance of stocks and securities c is closely involved with increases or tl decreases in rates and that, through the interstate commerce commission, the public would be safeguarded. Close scrutiny of bills aimed to cover n this point is intended that the gov- 0 ernment may not be placed in the f position of sponsor for stock issues. n It has become apparent that the ? President is determined that the 11 Sherman anti-trust law remain unal- a tered and that new law thall strengliten it in court particulars. Reaching the "debatable area" of the Sherman !l law now is understood in Adminis thation circles as meaning the specific prohibition of written oral or secret " thado agreements by which out put is * limited territory divided for monopolistic control or other discrimination c In price fixing are practiced. K tt became known today that Rep- ~ resentative Stanley's bill amending ' the Sherman law was not submitted to the President before its introduction and was offered merely for the c use of the Judiciary committee. It is f not regarded as an administration f measure. j s I Fit His Case Exactly. 1 ) ? "When father was sick about six t years ago he read an advertisement o of Chamberlain's Tablets in the pa- g pers that fit his case exactly," writes v Miss Margaret Campbell of Fort t Smith, Ark. "He purchased a box li of them and he has not been sick t since.

Young, a widely known citizen and n one of the largest landowners in the c ! county, was found early today in the n I smouldering coals and ashes of his p ' own cottage on his plantation at a Stomp Springs, near Reuno in Jacks fi ] township. It is believed that he was e r , murdered and the house set on lire to \ cover up the crime. Two negroes, Tom h > and John Young, brothers, were im- t plicated by the coroner's jury and n : both were brought to jail tonight by r Sheriff Owings. llotli negroes testi- p li? d at lite inquest but their state- n i ments were at variance as to the t < time Tom came home and went to bed n i with his brother. h > I Tom was at the Young cottage late e last night and returned to resume u - work for Mr. Young this morning n when he made the dlscorvery of the b i lire and then gave the alarm. It p came out at the inquest that Tom had | n had some trouble with Mr. Young in a ! the recent past. That Mr. Young was h l murdered was evidenced by the fact t: i that his skull had been crushed, pre- n t sumably with an axe. Two axe heads p j were found near the body, which lay t i near tno lire piaee. 'mere was some p i doubt at first as to the indentity of n | Mr. Young, but a careful examina- a i tlon, with the fact he was known p ' to have been at home last night, left ? | no doubt in the minds of the jury.s j of inquest and they so found. a I Robbery may have been the motive, n i as no money could be found on the ^ person or in the debris. s 1 The body of Mr Young was brought ti to his home here tonight and will be g > Interred in this city tomorrow, pre- n haps. He is survived by his wife, who g ! was a Miss Anderson, and four chil- a dren two sons and two daughters, 1 c the sons being G. Dudley Young of u GafTney and J. Stobo Young of Cleve- |j land, Ohio. Mr. Young was about G5 tl ' years old and owned about 2,000 acre n of land in Jacks township. His min- I r k erpl springs were widely known and ! g largely patronized in the summer sea- , n > son.

K We have always heard of the soul- j I loss corporation, hut here seems to , be an example of a corporation with ! I a soul, and a big generous one at , that. The manufacturers of tho Ford |, automobles last week startled the t world by a proclamation of a new j. policy in business, and this announeement laid bare not the corrup prac- J1 heart and soul of a business linn with big power to force n new birth?n . corporation's sense of Justice. This announcement proclaimed that the men who helped to make the . money for the Ford would share in ^ the profits. It provided for a large in- p, crease wafic of the m n, the lowest i wage earner being given a large in- p * crease and a share in the profits? , the hum best of these to get five dol- v j lars a day, while ten million dollars ^ . of the earnings of this big and sue- g cessful concern will go back to the 0 j men who labored at a weekly wage t i to make the machines which made , g r ' the concern rich beyond measure.. ! In space daily in the Baltimore \ Sun a band of men have printed each , day an advertisement of n religious t nature and in Saturady's paper the spucj Is devoted to the action of this big corporation and some of the paragraphs are worthy of reproducing here: I It was not of a gigantic cc tbinaition, or an enormous dividend. It I was not the revelation of a corporation's corruption or conviction in the courts. It was not a huge gift to charity, nor a public benefaction to bribe public oplniyn. | It was the revelation of a corpora-': tion's soul and the conviction of a corporation's sense of Justice. It'was big Business becoming a Big Brother. ' Behind this action of the great ' corporation rests the approval of public opinion and the power of public demand. The creed fo Social Justice is not the property of any one party. It is seen in sucb work aa that of the Consumer's league; it Is making its way into the platforms of , parties; it is found in the writing of leading thinkers; it is behind countless movements of the dav: it is en ' tering into the laws of State and nation. ,1 It is destined to change the policy of profit to the pratice of Justice and r the principle of Brotherhood. It is the outward roanifestion of . the dynamic power of Christianity. The call is back to the vital and perj manent; to the living and lasting s spiritual source that creates the 8 strength of man and holds the salvation of society. 0 j Men of business are catching the vision. The head of a big hanking '. institution of the east thus voices the. j truth: "The most important thing t ; is the Christ spirit. Nothing else counts unless we have that. Corporations are said to have no souls. They have as much soul as we put into H them. I want all who work for this corporation to know that it has a t soul. I want the public to know it, s and I intend to prove it." 8 1 Catarrh Cannot Be Cured " with LOCAL APPLICATIONS. they cannot 1 ret. h the a<-at of the disease.

The appetite of a growing boy is a onstant source of astonishment to is mother, and the ease with which e consumes more than the adult lembers of the family convinces her hat his taste are abnormal. She forets that in the second period of raid growth that comes early in the teens" Nature is making every efart to build a perfect individual and eedB all the help she can get. She annot build without a wealth of laterlal, and so every boy who is hysically more active than his father nd mother, who is using his brain or study and growing rapidly beslds. needs an abundant supply of food. Vhat should this food be? Should is diet be limited or his taste quesloned? Generally speaking, no. He eeds all kinds of food, and he gene any craves wnai lie needs. He needs rotin to build a man's frame and he eeds a larger proportion of it than he average adult requires. He also eeds fat and starches furnish the eat and energy burned out in his veractive body and to keep his tisses plump and rounded. While he eeds much protein, do not expect dm to get it all from meat. Indeed, t Is better that no small part of this itrogenous food come from milk nd eggs, cheese beans and peas. If e has plenty of these rich and relaively cheap foods he will not crave leat so inordinately as some growing oys do. The boy needs a large quanity of carbohydrates. That is why is demand for bread and butter is Imited only by the supply at hand, nd why he uses almost as much utter as bread. Let him have all he rants. By the pound, butter is expenive, but it is pure, wholesome food, nd he can use it readily. It will not lake him ill; quite the contrary, ind do not be afraid of sugar and weet foods. Sugar is a true, concenrated food. Give him candy for desert. He craves it and his craving is atural, not abnormal. The boy's in iimm win icuu mm to enoose trie 11-around diet he needs. To limit his hoice to a few articles compels him nconsclously to overuse the one he Ikos the best. To regulate his diet to he atste or foods of his father or lother is cruelty and will probably osult in an undernourished child. If rown people wish to experiment on ew foods they have the right to do o, but they do not have the right to nll'ct their ideas of what is good for hem on their growing children, iood food in variety and plenty of it j what the child needs, and if it If rovlded his taste will not bo abnormal nor will his astonishing appetite esult In more than healthy rapid rowtb.

Wahlngton, Jan. 17.?Preliminary estimates y the department of agriculture show that of the 1.140.000. 000 acres of tillable land in the United States, only 27 per cent of It Is actulally under cultivation. It is estimated that the United States, excluding its possessions, contains about 1,900,000,000 acres of which about 60 per cent or 1,140,000000 acres is tillable. This includes land already under such clutivation and that which in the future may be brought under cultivation by clearing drainage, irrgation etc. Of the entire acreage, 361,000,000 acres or 19 per cent are estimated to be non-tillable but valuable for pasture or fruits. Only 21 per cent or 399, 000,000 acres, was estimated to be of no use for agricultuer either now or in the future. According to the census of 1909, the land area in crops where acreage was given 311,000,000 acres. This is approximately 16 per cent of the total land area, or about 27 per cent J of the estimated potential tillable area I of the United States, exclusive of its possessions. "In other words," says the department, "for every 100 acres that are now titled about 375 acres may be tilled when the country la fully de veloped." The increased production of the future, it is added, will be te result of increased yield per acre as well as an extension of area. 8ELF-ANAI;Y8I8.

After filling out one side of the "Application Blank," with the answers to certain essential questions, the examiner passes it to the applicant, asking him to check off his "positives" and ."negatives."
