would be in making Muslin I'm

get better garments in latest styles

much cloth in it as you would use
if you were to make it yourself.

NEW USE OF PILOcARPiNE.

An American Physician In Germany Makes
Consumption Discovery.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-United States
Consul General Dekay, at Berlin, be-
lieves that an American physician has
discovered the means of curing con-
sumption, lupus and perhaps cancer.
In q report to the state department he
says that the coming medical congress
at Munich is likely to give no little at
tention to the discovery of DIR. Louis
Waldstein, a native of New York. an
nounced in the newspapers as extraor.
binary, being small injections Of pilo-
carpine, q c~rystalized extract from the
Brazilian jaborandi plant, on the lynn
phatic system. This. in a sense, COM
pletes the celebrated ''heil serum"
acting favorably on patients whom the
serum does not cure. The key Of the
discovery is this:
BY successive minute injections
Of ~pilocarpine in the veins, he
arrives at q gradual stimulation OF
the Emphatic system. That system
increases the white corpuscles in the
blood, which, in some way not agreed
upon, overcomes and renders harmless
those poisonous PARTICLES in the blood
that produce disease. The discoverer
strongly advices physicians to try pilo-
carpine i'll the early stages Of con-
sumption and indeed in all diseases in
volving the Emphatic system. He has
satisfied himself that it forms a trust
worthy test for the presence of tuber'
culosis in MAJ and animals. The report
closes with a statement of a case OF
lupus of % years duration. regarded as
incurable. which was relieved imme'
diately after the first injection and is
now almost healed.

Montana Has No Beef Ready for the
Market.


Montana Has No Beef Ready for tho
Market
HELENA, Mont, April l3.-At present
there are less Than 500 beef steers in
Montana ready for market. High
prices have caused early spring ship
ments to Chicago and Omaha and de-
pleted the stock. Home butchers will
not have enough prime stock to meet
their own demands. Steers worth $40
four months ago now bring $50. Range
cattle will be put on the home market
in about 30 days aud will be shipped
east a few weeks later. Comparative
figures are not at hand, bat a like con-
dition has not been known here for
many years. 1t is estimated that ship
ments from Montana this year will b.
about $50, 600, an average for the past
two years.

HOT STUFF.

Soldiers Warned Against tho Action OF
mOkel Powder.
WASHINGTON, April l3.-The war de-
partment has been obliged to issue a
general order warning soldiers against
burning their hands in using the new
small bore rife. The heat generated by
firing the smokeless powder is SO great
as to require caution in handling the
piece. for while the old Springfield rifle
did not become too hot to handle the
barrel until about 80 rounds had been
fired at the rate of Z per minute, the
new rifle heats twice as fast. and the
instructions are to handle it only by the
stock, hand guard or metal pieces in
the rear, after firing Is rounds at the
rate of 10 OF more per minute.

THE BIG BOOM IN OIL
Demand Was Several Million
Barrels Greater Than
the Supply.
RESERVE HEAVILY DRAWN UPON
Hundreds OF New Wells Now
Being Sunk In Penn syl-
vania Regions,

PIrTsBURa, April l3.-The extraordi-
nary movement Of the oil market this
week from 81. IL to over 81 has revived
the oil fever to the intensest degree.
There was never a time in tho history
of the business when tho wildcatter
was more alert than now. Men are in
the field night and day looking for pos
sible developments, and new wells are
being sunk everywhere, Estimating
the present number Of new operations
at 800 and the cost of each well at
q, 600, it is seen that not less than
&c, 900. is now being expended in new
work i'll all the fields,
A Few Figures.
The extent of the industry is shown
by q few comparative figures. The
total production of gold in the United
States last year was SIS, 900. 600. The
production of oil for the same period
was ~, o 900 barrels. which at the
present cash price represents a value OF
over $72, 500, 900. This quantity fell
short 1900, 900 barrels in supplying the
demand, which was drawn from old
stock, reducing the latter to less than
1000, 900 barrels OH April /.
Within the past few weeks the
Standard Oil company is estimated te
have purchased g. OO, 900 worth Of ter
rity from individual producers. The
most important Of these purchases are
the Kanawha Oil Company's property
in the Sisterville field for $3.50, 900, and
the 81 wells of the Wheeling Gas com
pany in the Mcdonald field for $3.50, 900
