SAVED HTS LIFE
Prof. SamueIs Cured a
Chicago Man When All
Others Had Failed.
The Case of Mr.. ]. G. Hathaway, a
Friend of Mr.. Harry G. Wilson,
Well Known in Kansas-After a..
Year of Suffering, Prof Samuels
Gives Relief in One Week.

Mr.. Harry G. Wilson, now with the
American Book company in Chicago, is
very well known in Topeka and in
Lawrence, and in fact in every part
Of the state. A friend of Mr.. Wilson's,
Mr.. ]. c. Hathaway, a we'll known.
Chicago insurance man, suffered terribly
with his head and nervousness. One day
Mr.. Wilson met him and inquired If he
was doing anything for his trouble
Eyes, indeed" replied Mr.. Hathaway,
81 am being treated by one of the best
oeculists in the city of Chicago. have
been doctoring with him for over year,
but if this suffering keeps on much
longer, l shall be fit for a lulQatic asylum"
"Come with me-" said Mr.. Wilson,
Sand l will take you to man whom l
consider the best occulist a the United
States. l am sure he can cure you.
"Oh, no." was Dir. Hathasway's reply.
THE occulist who is treating me is dis
tinguished one, and if he can't cure me
no one can"
Finally, however, MIR. WILTON induced
Mr.. Hathaway to go with him to Prof
Samuels, who had his office in Chicago
at 1913 State street. In one week from
the time he began Prof. SamUePs treat
ment he was cured.
The occulists in this city need not feel
badly because Prof Samuels cures where
they fail He succeeded in Chicago and
other large cities where opticians with
greater regulations fail Another chap
ter will be published in the JOURNAL in
few days concerning cases that have
been cured by Prof Sam uels.
The following letter from Mr.. Hatha-
way should be read by all:
Prof. Samuels, Mentor Bldg, Chicago, Ill,

greater, or less value. But it takes
TWO things to express value;
one is compared with the other When
four bushels of wheat exchange for pain
of sandals, the value Of one bushel of
wheat is one quarter of pair of sandals:
we say lit is WORTH one-quarter as much
as the sandals. If now a hat exchanges
for two bushels Of wheat the value Of the
hat as compared with the sandals is as
one to two. You cannot say that an OBJ
ject is "distant'' and convey an intelligible
idea OF its location, unless you have re-
ference at the same time to some person
or object wherewith comparison is estab-
Ished.' Value is no more absolute than
distance The habit of comparing all
exchangeable things with one thing,
money, has caused us to lose sight of the
real nature of the exchange process. When
it is said that a certain article is worth
a dollar, the meaning is that the article
and the dollar have the same value, that
is the same relation to other things.
THE FIRST TRADING.
This will be made clearer by an illustra-
ton founded on what we know to have
been the history of society. Trade was
first carried on by the exchange of COM
modities directly, what is called barter,
each man being compelled to find an
other who could supply him with what
he needed and who also needed what he
had to spare. Now, to use our example
OF a moment ago, suppose in those times
that the man with an extra pair of san
dals comes to market to obtain wheat with
them. Suppose also that he knows his
sandals, in the present condition of the
market, to be worth as much as two hats
Upon reaching the market he finds hats
exchanging for two bushels of wheat
and at once knows that he can obtain
four bushels for his sandals. Thus trad
ing was carried on entirely upon a COM
plicated system of mutual relations Of
commodities. In sense each commodity
became in turn a STANDARD" of values
1t afforded basis Of comparing relations.
Suppose our man returning home meets a.
neighbor going to market to dispose of a
pair of sandals and his neighbor inquiries
the value of sandals there. The man
would first learn what kind of commodity
his friend desired to trade for. If wheat
the answer would be flour bushels'' If
hats, the answer would be 1.-TWO bushels"
EVOLUTION OF PRICE,
But society could not continue in this
situation. Convenience soon suggested
and necessity compelled the selection of

SOME TERMS DEFINED.
what is the single gold standard? For
tner1y the leading commercial nations
used both gold and silver as standard
money The word single is used to con-
erast that system of the joint standard
or as it is more commonly but less hap
PLY called, the double standard, with the
system now general among the principal
powers, wherein gold alone is the STAN
dard. Where this prevails the minis are
open to the free and unlimited coinage
OF gold only; the unit coin, which gives
IT'S name to the language of accounts and
oy It's multiples and subdivisions regulates
the values OF other coins is of gold; and
the money of final redemption and legal
teuoer, that is money which under any
ana all circumstances is full and final

rms standard was adopted by England in
1915, and by the United States, France and
various other countries, in 1873 and SUBJ
sequent years, as we shall hereafter see,
Much confusion is caused in monetary
discussion by the habitual and unavoid-
able use in describing or qualifying GER
tain abstract concepts of the science, of
words that involve definite physical prop
critics. STANDARD and UNIT are exam
pies occurring in the expressions
STANDARD of value" and unit
OF value" BY the Century Die
t1onary standard is defined as "a
weight, measure instrument by COM
parison with which the accuracy of others
is determined;;'' and unit as ''any stand
ard quantity by the repetition and SUBJ
division of which any other quantity of
the same kind is measured" Thus by the
expressions referred to the mind is CEN
tered on the thought Of weight, dimen-
sion and quantity, and thus some per-
sons are led to the notion that "dollar"
or pound sterling,' or 'tfranc'' means
something as absolute and definite as to
value as 'ton," "yard' and "quart" are
as to weight length and capacity But
value is neither so heavy, so long, or of
such-and-such contents. You cannot see
1t. Value is nothing absolute. Value is
relation. It is the RATIO at which one
thing exchanges for another One thing
may be worth as much as another thing,
more than another thing or less than

The Navsjoes are said to be in poor circumstances and many hun dred of them are suffering for the neoessaries of life. In past years the wool they raised was their prin- ciPal means of support and they cannot comprehend why this product should be tomahawked so unmercifully. When an Indian commences to kick on free wool it is pretty tough on an administration that has for its policy the elevation and prosperity of its subjects. A big outbreak among these people would be perfectly justi6able, and as the Navajo never monkeys along and patiently waits for a remedy, some war whoops may be expected before long.

Heavy Cattle Purchase

The Globe Silver Belt says that II. J. Ramer, of Heber, Apache county, one of the largest buyers of cattle in Arizona, was here the fore part of the week, arranging the de- tails of his purchases of cattle for spring delivery. He has bought about 5000 head of cattle in Gila county, for delivery at Holbrook in April and May. Fully 10000 head have been contracted for in this county for spring delivery. These sales will greatly relieve the range and, what is of more pressive i'm portsnce, will put money in the pockets of cattlemen.
