The Democratic programme at Wash

Arizona, New Mexico and Utah as
States and thereby increase the Silver

Utilization Of Maste.

The discovery that the leaf OF the pine
apple plant can be wrought into a service
able cloth is one Of those newly found facts
that are constantly proving how much
there is yet to discover in nature. As the
plant is extensively grown in Florida a
new industry in time will spring up there,
and the producers Of the delicious pineap-
pie will have new source Of profit at their
command But it does not speak well for
the boasted inventive genius Of America
that pineapple fiber cloth has been manu-
factured for some time in Central Amer
lea, and that it is now an article of export.
This is, however, only one of the discov-
cries made in recent years by which waste
material is being utilized. It would puzzle
any one but an expert to go into store to
day and tell from what material percent
age Of the goods are manufactured. Grass,
timber, sawdust and other products that
were once rejected as useless are now saved
and put to practical use. The Hollanders
have even discovered how to convert the
peat from bogs into the soft woods, which
can be spun into cloth, rugs and blankets
at half the cost these goods can be made
from wool grown on the sleeps back. Such
discovery ought TO open before Ireland
and some other countries the prospect Of a
great industry which will increase their
prosperity and commercial Importance

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs Or the body are under tho con.
troll of t6e nerve centers, located in or near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
aeranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged When it Is re-
membered that serious Injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis OF the body below
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, Il will be understood how
the arrangement OF the nerve centcrs will
cause the arrangement OF the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
TWo-thirds Of chronic diseases arc due TO
the imperfect action OF the nerve centerS at
the base of the brain, not from q derange-
ment primarily originating In the organ it.
self The great mistake OF physicians in
treating these diseases Is that they treat tho
organ rather than the nerve centers which
are the cause of the trouble.

cialist, has profoundly studied this subject for
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries In connection with IT, chief among
them being the facts contained In the above
