Want Skis in Swiss Army.
It is a curious circumstance that
the one army in Europe whose frontiers
have a permanent snow-line, and
in which the use of the ski is ignored
in the army, is Switzerland, where,
in many of the cantons, nearly every
man, woman and child can ski. This
latter fact probably to some extent
explains the neglect. But the difference
between popular use of the ski
and that systematic training which
" ? * *? a lr/N ? kitolliOTi nr Q

brigade oil ski at all mobile, or even
manageable, is so obvious that its
neglect in an army which would need
it almost more than any other frontier
operation, is not easy to understand.
The Swiss papers are beginning to
raise an outcry on the subject. It is
pointed out that although there are
thousands of Swiss officers and soldiers
who can ski, there is not in all
the Swiss army a single class for ski
drill, nor any stores for mobilizing
even a company of men on ski.

"Our baby had that dreadful complaint,
Infantile Eczema, which aiiiicted nun for
several months, commeneincr at the too of

body. His sufferings were untold and constant
misery, in fact, there was nothing
we would not have done to have given him
relief. We finally procured a full set of
the Cuticura Remedies, and in about three
or four days he began to show a brighter
spirit and really laughed, for the first time
in a year. In about ninety days he was
fully recovered. Praise for the Cuticura
Remedies has always been our greatest
pleasure, and there is nothing too good
that we could say in their favor, for they
certainly saved our baby's life, for ha

KIDNEY JRGUBLES
Increasing Among Women, Bat
Safferers Ncc1 Not Despair
THE BEST ADVICE IS FREE
Of all the diseases known, with which
the female organism is afflicted, kidnpy
disease is the most fatal, and statistics
show that this disease is on the increase
among women.
Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once th^ disease is fastened upon
her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is the most efficient
treatment for chronic kidney
troubles of women, and is the only medl
icine especially prepared for this
J purpose.
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices a
sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, as it may be the means of
i 1IiA
saving- ner inc.
For proof, read what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound did for Mrs.
Sawyer.
" I cannot express the terrible suffering I
had to endure. A derangement of the f eniale
organs developed nervous prostration and a
serious kidney trouble. The doctor attended
me for a year, but I kept getting worse, until
I was unable to do anything, and I made up
my mind I could not live. I finally decided
. to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com'
pound as a last resort, and I am to-day a well
p woman, I cannot praise it too highly, and I
tell every suffering woman about my case."

BIG COMBINE IS ALLEGED
Southern Farmers Alleged to Have
Been Mulcted of Millions Through
Concern Known as the "Can
ada Company,"
A Washington dispatch says:
Charging that the farmers of the south
have been mulcted of from five t?#
seven million dollars by a fertilize!*
trust, the department of justice Monday
at Nashville, Teun., started on
foot the prosecution, under the antitrust
law, of fertilizer manufacturers
alleged to be members of the trust.
Some of the most prominent business
men of the southern states are
involved in this prosecution. The
combination which the government attacks
includes practically all the manufacturers
of acid fertilizer in the
country covering especially those doing
business in the cotton states east
of the Mississippi river. The manufacturers
involved include some in
Baltimore and Chicago, as well as In
Atlanta, Norfolk, Richmond, Nashville,
Charleston and other southern cities.
Hon. Edward T. Sanford of Knoxville
has been retained as special counsel
for the government in this pros
ecuuon. ine government win allege
a combination of manufacturers
through the medium of a corporation
organized in Canada, known as the
Canada Development company, has
been formed, it is alleged, by all the
fertilizer companies whose product
has gone 'nto the territory named, and
through it the sales of the output of
the different factories and the price
at which fertilizers have been sold
Lave teen regulated.
The facts concerning the organization
of this Canada company and its
operations were some months ago laid
before the department of justice by
a former employee of the A/mours,
who was selected to be one of the officers
of this controlling corporation at
the time of its organization. The matter
has been under investigation by
the department since then.
Last week congress passed a bill
changing the time of holding federal
court at Nashville. This bill was vetoed
by President Roosevelt on the
ground that as the department of justice
had important business prepared
for the session of the court, the
change should not now be made. This
announcement was regarded as only
-i 1 1 nl tfi/wi?nA. Kilt It Tl A TIT lift.
UJ. lUtm SlglliUMU^C, UUb tb uvn
velops that the important business in
question consists of the anti-trust
cases.
The government will undertake to
show that immediately following this
alleged illegal combination of manufacturers,
the price of fertilizer was
increased by about $2 a ton, and that
this cost the farmers of the southern
states from five to seven million
of dollars.
Under ?he Sherman anti-trust law
not only is every contract or combination
in restraint of trade declared it
legal, but it is provided that "every
person who shall make any such contract
or engage in any such combination
or conspiracy shall be deemed
guilty of a midsdemeanor, and on conviction
thereof shall be punished by
a fine not exceeding $5,000, or by Imprisonment
not exceeding one year, or
by both said punishments in the discretion
of the court."
"While the Canada company itself
cannot be reached, it is the theory of
the department that individuals party
to such trust agreement and profiting
| by it can be prosecuted criminally
wherever they can be reached. Officers
of the Virginia-Carolina Company,
the Armour Fertilizer company
and of other fertilizer companies who
held an interest in this Canada Development
company are Involved in this
prosecution. It is said the company
was dissolved as soon as it became
known the government was investigating
its operations.
INSURANCE MEN LENIE-NT.
Companies Decide to Pay Their Lot*

The insurance companies have already
taken up the question of losses
in San Francisco. The companies
have decided to pay dollar for dollar
on the losses, whether fire or by
earthquake. This will mean, if the
less totals $200,000,000, as it undoubtedly
will, that $110,000,000 will be
paid in San Francisco realty owners.
With this as a start, new structures,
it is expected, will soon be in course
of erection.

tropoils and Golden Gate of the we3t, <
ia a mass of ruins and the scene of 1
utter desolation as the result of a ,
terrific earthquake shock and appall- ]
ing conflagration which swept the city J
from center to circumference.
It was 5:15 o'clock Wednesday morning
when a terrific earthquake shook
the whole city and surrounding country.
One shock apparently lasted two"
minutes, and there was almost immediate
collapse of structures all over the
city. The water supply was cut off,
and when the fires broke out in various
sections there was nothing to do
but to let the buildings burn. Telegraph
and telephone communication
was shut off. tAcre after acre has
been ground into dust and ashes, despite
the heroic perseverance of the
fireinen to limit the conflagration.
Over two thousand lives are believed
to have been lost, two hundred thousand
people are homeless, and property
loss of over $300,000,000 has
been done as the result of the cataclysm.
Tens of dynamite were used
in blowing up buildings in the vain
endeavor to check the conflagration.
The entire section of the city lying
along Van Ness avenue from Golden
Gate avenue to Pacific avenue, sixteen
blocks in all, containing the
homes of many millionaires and apartment
houses were leveled by gunpowder,
by the order- of the authorities.
All of San Francisco's best business
houses, hotels and theaters are a
mass of ruins. The earthquake demolished
them for all practical purposes,
and the fire completed the
work of demolition. The fire swept
on so rapidly that it was practically
impossible to save anything in its
way.
Big buildings are crumbled into z
heaps. 'Factories and business houses <
lie smouldering on their former sites, c
All of the newspaper plants have i
been rendered useless. It is estimat- l
ed that the loss in San Francisco will i
reach $400,000,000. These figures are i
in the rough, and nothing can be tola i
until partial accounting is taken. t
From the business section, the
fiery demon spread to the residential c
portion of the city, sweeping every- 1
thing clear in its path. Thousands: s
upon thousands of people fled from j r
the fire-enthralled city, flocking to the | s
ferries, to the parks, to the military j ?
reservations and to the suburbs. But j i
there was no panic. The people are ' I
calm, stunned. They seem not to real- : 1
ize the extent of the calamity. j a
At 9:15 o'clock Thursday morning j I
all hope of saving any portion of the j 1
city from destruction was abandoned, j I
and the people set about trying to | c
escape what might be a worse fate? i f
Fire Finally Gotte
Atf' 2 o'clock" Friday afternoon, the
following dispatch was sent out from
San Francisco:
"The fire is now positively stated
to be under control, with the probabil
+v>o oitv lvlns:
ity tnai one-quui lci ui ?
west of Franklin street and known
as the western addition, northward to
the Presidio, will be saved. The stand
made at Van Ness avenue was generally
successful, the flames crossing
that avenue to the west in only a few
places. The strongest fire at noon
today was toward North beach, east
of Van Ness avenue, but it will be
controlled."

people homeless. Food very scarce.

Prompt action was taken by the
war department. Two hundred thou

bo sent from Vancouver barracks to
San Francisco, and a large number
nf tents from Vancouver and other
army posts. The supplies will be forwarded
with all the expedition possible
so that they may be at the disposition
of the authorities at the earliest
date practicable.
