No external remedy ever yet devised
has so fully and unquestionably met
these three prime conditions AZ success
fully as Allcock's Porous Plasters.

of labor. Railways an no more re-
sist this law than they can the law of
gravity. Gold prices are not only low
price, but necessarily receding
prices, for gold, under J present
conditions must continue to APP
preciate indefinitely, and when every
thing else has been tried ic will
be found that the OILY way to maiE-
tain the gold standard is to restrict
currency and credit, bring prices
down and keep them down to the re-
ceding level of gold. In that way
alone can gold be kept here and the
gold standard be maintained. Prices
depend upon what things are priced
in, and if VIC insist on having things
priced in gold only we must accept
the result. We can't enact that a
buShel of wheat shall hereafter weigh

that no more wheat shall be required

HOUSEHOLD TREASURE.
Growing Popularity OF the oxford Sew
ing Machines

ing Machines
There is nothing more truly household
treasure than good sewing machine To
be without it is to be willfully deprived of
the immense advantage of one of the great
est of all inventions. A machine once
bought is a perpetual treasure. 1t demands
no wages, occasions no expense or trouble,
and is always ready without a moments
notice to render the work of the laborious
housewife tenfold more efficient and ex-
peditious. Some machines combine the best
ideas and suggestions which have been so
abundantly introduced in this remarkable
mechanism.
A machine which exhibits in liberal com
bination all the best features introduced is
the Oxford Sewing Machine, made by the
Oxford Manufacturing Company, Chicago
with lock-stitch, shuttle running light and
quiet. These machines have the following
important features: Cheapness, perfect,
self-adjusting and graduated tension, are
under control of the operator and are
always positive in their working They are
entirely self-threading in all points, includ-
ing the shuttle. The needle is self-setting,
the attachments are quickly and easily
placed and fastened. The shuttle has an
easy oscillating motion, causing it to keep
its proper place against the race. Their
Oxford No. IA and Columbia machines,
with attachments, were awarded the medal
premium at the Worlds Columbian EXPOSE
