MAKES TRUST BUSTING EASY COMBINES MUST REVEAL INNER WORKINGS AND RISK PROS- ECUTION. Washington, March 14.-The United States supreme court’s decision in the paper and tobacco trust cases is of monumental importance. Its applica- tion extends to every corporation whose books and papers may -be ex- amined by the government. It means that the investigation of the Standard Oil, the steel trust and the anthracite coal trust, which the department of comme: and labor has been making for the last year, will permit prosecutions of corpora- tions and some of their officials. It means greater case in the prose- eution of the tobacco trust and the sugar trust, the latter a case of direct application to every person in the country which Attorney General Moody has begun. Must Produce Books. It means also that investigation into the relations of the railroads and the Standard Oil company and the rail- roads and the bituminous and anthra- cite coal mines will not be as inaocu- ous as the president feared when he signed the joint resolution authoriz- ing the investigation. Those compa- nies must produce the books if the court orders them to do so, and cor- porations and their officials can be prosecuted for zany violation of the law that may be discovered. Beef Trust Must Answer. The network of defense which the attorneys for the packers so laborious- ly constructed and strongly supported has been swept aside by a decision in a case in which their clients were di- rectly interested. It is expected the department of justice will transmit the text of the decision to Attorney Gen- eral Moody in order that he may be able to use it in his argument in support of a motion to instruct the jury for the government in the pend- ing prosecution. The department of justice is more confident now than ever that it will secure conviction of the packers. No Immunity Loopholes. Corporations cannot receive immuni- ty from incrimination as individuals. Officers of corporations may be grant- ed immunity as individuals, but must produce evidence to convict the cor- porations in which they are interest- ed. All corporations are creations of a sovereign power and are not privi leged to commit any illegal act or pos- sess anything unlawful. When a cor- poration does either it is placed be- yond the pale of constitutional protec- tion. the principal laid down by the decision of the supreme court in the four cases affecting the paper and tobacco trusts. The result will be that all corporations must produce their books and papers when actions are brought against them by the gov- ernment and witnesses may be com- pelled to answer all questions.

The government has sent a circular to the governor generals and govern- ors of provinces instructing them that persons taken into custody for polit- ical offenses must, within twenty-four hours of their arrest, be confronted with the charges and allowed to make explanations.

It is rumored that the officers of a guards regiment upon receiving or- ders to go to the Baltic provinces to participate in the “pavification” of the country, met and resigned in a body. The name of the regiment is not given and the rumor cannot be confirmed. Ugly reports of another general railway strike in Moscow are current.

HOULD A HORSE BE CLIPPED ? CLIPPING IN THE EARLY SPRING RECOMMENDED BY LEADING VETERINARIANS. All Thinking Men Readily Recognize Its Advantages. “A horse is a valuable asset, and should receive the best care possible. He should be well fed, comfortably stabled, carefully groomed and clipped in the early spring. If he receives these attentions he will work well and improve in value. A horse lives under artificial conditions. In his wild state he required none of these attentions, for he was able to look out for himself. The domesticated animal, being worked under condi- tions that are in themselves artificial, must be kept in condition for such work. The clipping of a horse in the early spring is now conceded by all the leading veterinarians to be as essen- tial to a horse’s well being as shoeing him or giving him a comfortable bed to lie on. Farmers in England and France have been clipping their horses for many years, and American farmers are not slow to realize its advantages. A clipped horse dries out rapidly after a hard day’s work, and will rest comfortably and be re- freshed for the work the following day. An unclipped horse is liabie to catch the heaves, pneumonia and all sorts of colds, rheumatism, ete. More especially is this so in the early spring, when his hair is long and he is “soft.” If worked hard he will per- spire freely and the moisture will be held by his long hair, and the food that should go to nourish him will be used to replenisi the heat that is be ing constantly taken from his body by the mass of cold wet hair. If clipped, the perspiration will evapor- ate almost as soon as secreted, and when put in the stable he rests com- fortably and his food does him good. Some years ago a Buffalo street car company tested the value of clipping in the following manner: They own- ed 500 horses, and 250 of these were clipped early in the spring and 250 were not clipped. A careful record was kept of results, and it was found that of the 250 unclipped horses 153 were afflicted with coughs and pneu- monia, while of the 250 clipped not one case of sickness was reported. A man would not expect to enjoy very good health if he did hard man- ual work clothed with heavy under- wear, a heavy suit and a fur overcoat, and after perspiring freely, as he naturally would, go to sleep without removing same. It is just as ridicu- lous to expect a horse to be in perfect health if worked under the same con- ditions. If you would get the best returns from your investment in your horse, treat him right, and be. sure and clip him in the early spring A first- class horse-clipping machine can be bought at almost any hardware store for less than $7.00.—Horse Review, Dee. Sth, 1905.

Mark Train, at a dinner in New York, was talking about political lead- ers and the undue credit they take for their country’s prosperity. He told of a certain senator, Senator Dash, who was always on hand to re- ceive the praise for any blessing that had befollen his state. He pointed out several benefits for which the senator took undue credit, and then looking gravely around the table, he said: “But what Senator Dash particular. ly prides himself on is the late excel. lent harvest.” THE EDITOR. Explains How to Keep Up Mental and Physical Vigor. A New Jersey editor writes: “A long indulgence in improper food brought on a condition of nervous dyspepsia, nearly three years ago, so severe that I had to quit work entire- ly. I put myself on a strict regimen of Grape-Nuts food, with plenty of out- door exercise and in a few months found my stomach so far restored that the process of digestion gave me pleasure instead of distress. “Tt also built up my strength so that I was able to resume my business, which is onerous, as I not only edit my paper, but also do a great deal of ‘outside’ writing. . “T find that the Grape-Nuts diet en- ables me to write with greater vigor than ever before, and without the feel- ing of brain fag with which I used to be troubled. As to bodily vigor—I can and do walk miles every day without fatigue—a few squares used to weary me before I began to live on Grape- Nuts!” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
