Drove a Nall Into Her Brain.

Mrs. Frank Roadson died at Abilene,
Kan, having committed suicide. Last
October she deliberately drove a two
inch nail into the top of her head,
pounding it down with stone even
with the scalp. She became partly
paralyzed, but survived. The nail was
discovered two days before her death
and removed, but too late to save her
life.

Dollars Made Of Wheat

A new solution of the silver ques.
ton has been offered by Thomas 4.
Edison In an interview he said
The hankering after gold and sill
yer Is largely traditional. People
allow themselves TO be governed by
the old ideas on the subject of COIN
age, formulated at IA time when ma
tional credits existed and currency
would be only taken at an intrinsic
value. What we need is new stand.
ard of value.
4 think the best dollar could be
made out Of compressed wheat. You
take a bushel of wheat aud squeeze
the water out of it and then COM
press it into hard cake the size
of silver dollar and stamp the Gov.
ernmcnt mark upon it. That would
represent actual value and labor per
formed. Then you could eat a dol
lar, for when you wanted TO use the
wheat all that would be necessary
would be To putyour money TO soak.
We should then have the bushel of
wheat rs permanent unit of value,
which all farmers would appreciate,
and the currency of the country
would represent actual worth and
labor performed. Both gold and
silver could then be dispensed with
Our currency, moreover, would be
as good as gold or silver in foreign
exchange, for our wheat goes to all
the countries of the world.
