hundred thousand dollars worth, where it
took the lead of all the cough remedies IN

AS a remedy for kidney complaints the
White Pine Compound stands unrivaled.
It was not originated for that purpose;

mouth of November was over $4,000,

regarded with disiavor, as it possessed
none of the "oil bottom" so eagerly
sought after. Since it has been found
that "bluff territory" is the most reliable,
this property has been freely operated.

THE CRASHING SEvEN."-An ex.
change of late date, reminds US Of a
curious fact, that almost every decade in
the history Of this country, ending with
the figure seven, has marked the begin.
ming Of financial crash OF severe de-
preston. 1t says: Historic fatalisin, ii
not actual signs Of the times, incline ma.
to the periods in our past history, made
memorable by fuancial troubles. With
1897 came the crash that wiped out
the Continental currency, and in 1907
our trouples with France and prospective
war with England threw the country in
to confusion, while iu 1917 we got the
legacy of the war Of 1Sl2-14 with Eng
land. which was a tremendous financial
revulsion.-That 1927 was less severe
but ten years later it came in good earn
est-the smash of all previous smashes
in which the whole banking system and
business Of the country went down, not
to rise for nearly five years. King II I'D
son reigned over the English railroad
speculation Of lS47, and famine stalked
over Europe, aud especially in ireland
spreading suffering aud causing wide
spread failures. A purely commercial
snap emphasized 1857, caused by infa
ton and over trading.
But the crash of 1867, if one is inev,

deed. The chasm is too deep and dark
