THE wOKLD,s BaEAD.
A Shortage ON Wheat, Except I'm
the United States.

New YORK, August 30.-The Times has
q long cable which estimates that the
Old World needs from 100000 to S0,-
900 900 bushels of wheat more than the
harvests of the year will produce. To
put it in another way, the countries
which always have to buy wheat must
this year buy 800, 100000 bushels, while
the countries raising more than they
consume will have about $4,000, 900 to
sell. The storms Of the past week have
greatly damaged wheat in Eng
land, and the great wheat producing
country of France, which was thought
q week ago would import. 5000, 900
bushels, will now have, it is estimated,
to import from $4,000 900 to $4,000, 900.
Agiers cannot supply much on account
of grasshoppers. The best estimates put
the surplus of the United States and Can
ada at 103, 100000 bushels; Russia 80,
600 900; India 35 100000. But all sorts
of stories are coming from Russia of late,
mostly unfavorable. In London bread
has gone up one penny per loaf. The po-
tato crop OF England and Ireland is par
tial failure, and great distress is believed
to be certain. The Times summarizing
the reports from all parts of the United
States, says there is enough wheat for
home consumption, but not a great deal
TO spare.

France. Foreign relations.

PARIS, August 30.-The officials at the
German Embassy are satisfied that Gar
nier, who fred shot at the porter of the
Embassy yesterday, is insane. The Incl
dent is therefore closed.
The reply OF France to Italy's note, an
nouncing the seizure of Massowah, is
published, and says France desires to
avoid entering upon irritating polemics,
and does not care to prolong the debate,
but it is impossible to avoid recalling the
fact that French Consulate, sanctioned
by the Porte, was established at Masso-
wah twenty-five years before the date OF
Italian occupation.

HIGH LICENSE.
How the Law Works i'm Minnesota
Good Results.

ST. PAUL, August 30.-The Pioneer
Press reviews the first year of high
license in Minnesota as follows: The
system has proved all its friends claimed
for it. In the State there are only 1887
saloons, against 2, 1906 when the law went
into effect. There is decreased con-
sumption of liquor in nearly every
county. The low groggeries are all
closed. The liquor business is under
better police supervision. The cost of
licenses which averaged $500 and made a
total income of $3.50, 900, is now $3.50 and
the total income ST. 100000.

A PECULIAR PLAGUE.
An Ohio Town Being Depopulated
by Local Disease.

CALDWELL, Ohio, August 3O.-A month
ago mysterious disease appeared which
has some of the characteristics OF typhoid
fever and some of malaria. Whole
families have been attacked. In the
course of fortnight nearly every family
in town has been affected; the death
rate has become alarming; many families
have left town; business is almost para
lyzed, and funeral professions are almost
constantly in the streets. The physi-
clans are nearly all worn out; medicine
seems to do no good. The disease does
seem to be infectious, except to residents
here, for outsiders have not been affected.
1t is believed that disease germs are in
the water. The town has no system OF
drainage.

TQNaILITIS

Is an acute lnflammatlon OF the tonsils.
which consists Of collection or mass of small
mucous f0llicles or glands whose office Is to
eecrete portion of the fluid which keeps the
threat moist There are persons who suffer
every winter. sometimes oftener, with an
attack of acute Inflammation of these glands
The trouble begins with q slight soreness and
swelling, which gradually increases until the
act Of swallowing is attended with great suffer
ing.
These glands are sometimes affected by a
chronic Inflammation, and are found enlarged
and very much hardened. In such cases they
kecrete a thin, unhealthy, irritsting fluid,
which is spread over the throat, perpetuating g
the disease. In the throats of many young
persons these glands are permanently so large
as TO render respiration exceedingly difficult
The defective breathing of children thus
affected often occasions contraction of the
chest, and lays the foundation for consump-
tion. The eustachian tubes (the mouths Of
which are just above the palate) are often In.
famed, and partial deafness is the result.
Many patients suffering from throat dis
ease are dyspeptic, and suffer from depression
of spirits So often does this sym ptOm present
itself that 1t may slmost be regarded as one OF
the peculiar ties. Persons thus afflicted have
usually the dark and dingy look of the face
which denotes functional arrangement of the
liver. They are frequently emaciated, nerv-
GUS, hypochrondriacsl, irritable and often ex-
hausted from other causes, in combination
with this disease.

GRANULAR SORE THROAT

Is the most serious form OF throat disease. It IL
SO called because ON looking into the throat
granulattOns of various sizes are seen, studding
the membrane and causing it to appear rough
and uneven. Sometimes these granulatiOnE
appear in patches, but generally they are regu.
lar and distinct. When allowed to progress the
mucous follicles OF the larynx soon become In
vOlved, and then we have added to the other
symptoms a huskiness of the voice in speaking
or reading aloud, with a frequent effort to clear
colored mucous Is forced Off with considerable
difficulty. Tho transition from a simple to a
granular sore throat is very easy; The patient
becomes conscious Of vexatious Utilization. pro-
ducing desire to clear the throat several times
during the course of the day. He may not no.
tice this himself, but 1t is. nevertheless OBJ
served by his friends. Some months later this
disposition is found to have increased, and to
be attended with an occasional desire to swal-
low, the patient-tO use his own words-feeling
something sticking in his throat.

ON THE RIGHT ROAD.

The Reading railroad is disci-
plining its labor. A foolish strike
occurs in the dead of winter. Or
course Labor must surrender TO cap
ital,--especially in winter. But
it seems q local assembly of Knights
of Labor, in Philadelphia, composed
of railroad employees, have at last a
ciimmer of reason, and they will win
if they only have sense enough to
carry out their threat to vote
against protection. We again tell
Labor, that this is their only road
out of the woods. But we predict
these knights will forget their pres-'
ent resolutions before the next
election.
The following is copied from the
Philadelphia Record, of January
9th:
At meeting in this city last
night of Local Assembly $3.50,
Knights of Labor, composed of Read
ing Railroad employees, the follow
ing preamble and resolutions were
adopted: "Whereas the Philadel-
phia and Reading Railroad Com
pany in the present difficulties which
they have forced upon their employ
es, are engaging immigrants to fill
the places they have caused us to
vacate; and whereas the company
is protected from foreign competi
tion by protective tariff on coal.
which we have tondly believed for
years was intended to benefit Amer
lean labor: and whereas we. as citi
zens of this republic, believe the
laws should be impartial, and that
no laws should be enacted which
confer special privileges upon any
class of citizens; therefore be it re-
solved that in the coming election
for Congressman we shall support
only those men who are pledged to
vote to repeal the tariff on coal"
