From the way n,.ny Republics

From the way m;ay Republican
papers put it, that party has been the
means of providing most tountiful
crop this season. Many OF tlta, kind
of papers have been worrying them.
selves over the way the farmers are
acting and say what more do they
want" All summer these wise pa-
pers have been pointing Ito the high
prices OF grain, etc, and to the pros
1ect OF one OF the largest crops ever
seen in the west, where these '.grun~
blers' exist by the thousands. Ever
since the harvest has begun these g
y. p. papers have ceased pointing
with pride to prices and crops and
turned their attention to something
else. Why? Because the markets
~lo not hold up and the prospects are
that the prices the farmers will have
10 take for their products will not be
enough to pay for raising much of
she crops. Last year there was an
immensc shortage and after the spec
'ilators controlled Il large majority of
the grain. the prices were large, which
is always the case, but as soon as the
Farmers have nothing to sell, down
goes the prices to or below the cost
of production. TO partially prevent
the spectators from reaping the
fruits of the farmers labors, the sub
treasury plan has been proposed and
it is the only thing that will protect
them from the gamblers, because il
will fnrAish them the means of hold
siig crops until the markets are higl
enough for them to sell and realize /;
profit, instead of the doard of trade
men Then it would be the besl
means of getting the increased mon
ey in circulation which must com,
sooner or later in order for all indus
rtial classes to thrive and flourish.

ARSENIC AND AMMONIA.
Remarkable Cont'ast in the Effect OF Two

Remarkable Ccntsast in the Effect OF Two
poisons oa the Complenon,
The slow absorption of many poi
sons CHANGES in sonse more or less
'aodifed form the complexion, but
arsenic and ammonia show their ef-
feet about Us quickly as any. The
popular belief that atsenic clears the
complexion has led many silly won-
en- to kill themselves with it in small,
continued doses
1t produces Il waxy, ivory-like ap-
pearancc of the skin during certain
stage of the poisining. but its terrible
after effects have become to we'll
known to make it OF common use rs
a cosmetic
The effects Of amonia upon tire
complexion are directly the opposite
to that of arseDic. The fist symp-
tom of ammonia poisining which ap-
pears among those who work i'll am
monia factories is Il discoloration of
the skin of the nose aud forehead
This gradually extends over the face
until the complexion has \ stained,
blotched, and unsfShtly appearance
With people who take ammonia into
their systems Ill smaller doses, us
with their water or food, these strik-
ing symptoms do not appear SO soon.
The only effect of the poison that is
visible for 4 time is Il general I'M
wholesomness and saIlownrss OF the
complexion.
Many people are slowly absorbing
ammonia poison without Knowing it,
The use of ammonia in the manufac
lures has greatly increased of late
and it is unquestionab!y used rs IN
adulterant in certain food prepara
tions Oltirial analysis have plainly
shown its use even in such cheap ar
tcles of every day consumption as
baking powders. The continued alb
sorption of ammonia in even minute
! quantities us an adultcrant in food is
injurious not merely from its ettec
upon the complexion, but because it
destroys the coating of the stomach
and causes dyspepsia and kindred
evils
Professor Long, Of Chicago, is au
thority for the statement that, if t.
fifty million parts of water there i:
one part of ammonia, the wafer is

Savings Bank" will open its doors for the
transaction of business next Wednesday, June
10, in the Second National Bank Building, 500
Seventh street northwest This new bank has
been organized with view to meeting the de-
mands Of that class of persons who never have
bank account because they cannot save
sufficient to make the first deposit. The OBJ
ject is worthy one and cannot fail TO have
liberal patronage The guarantee fund of
100000 is ample, the officers and directors
are men of character and standing, and all
legitimate efforts will be made to render this
bank conservative guardian of the best in
terests of its depositors.

First Vice President, /. G. Kimball; Second
Vice President, A. NJ Lothrop; Secretary and
Treasurer, John Tweedale, and Attorney, T.
A. Lambert. The directors are the following
well-known business men: Maj F. q. Aims

begun to learn, as part of his early education,
how to save money and 90 business.
