MANY invalids believe that remedies
necessarily imply medicines, and med
icines only. This is serious mistake,
for it not only leads them to be content
with such limited effects as drugs are
able to produce, but prevents them
from acquiring proper knowledge of
the remedial resources which exist
within the organism itself-the very
agencies by which in health, the vital
powers are developed and maintained.
"In the compilation of these REPORTS
We have ascertained that the nature of
these physical agencies, as adapted to
remedial purposes are at easy COM
mand, and we have no hesitancy in
saying that after careful investiga-
ton, at the hands Of trained represent

their development and achieve their

HONEST MONEY
OR SILVER CLUBS

The Organization Of Clubs Called for by
Authority Of the Memphis Convention.
To thu Voters of North Carolina:
The Memphis convention composed
Of representative men of all parties
who oppose the schemes of the single
gold standard men, passed the fol-
lowing resolutions:
RESOLVED, That committee composed of
one member from each State, be appointed
by the delegates thereof in this convention
whose duty it shall be to correspond with
the representatives and advocates of bimetal-
lism and bimetallic societies in the different
sections of the Union, and devise measures
to advance the.cause of bimetallism through
out the United States.
That this committee shall have power to
call a national conference of bimetallists
the cause of bimetallism can be advanced
thereby. Said committee shall have power
to fill all vacancies.
The committee, in accordance to
the above resolution, elected a ma
tional committee of one member from
each State.
This committee met in Chicago on
July 18th and passed a resolution
empowering and instructing the
member of the committee from each
State to proceed at once to organize
"Honest Money Clubs" in his State.
Therefore, | now call for the organi-
zation of "Honest Money Clubs" in
every county in the State.
The scheme of the single gold
standard men is:
First. To prevent any further coin
age of silver into legal tender dollars
at the ratio of 16 to /, and to bring
this country to an absolute gold
basis.
End. To have the silver dollars al
ready coined robbed of their legal
power, so as to be only token silver
money to be redeemed in gold, like
token paper currency.
3rd To destroy all silver certificates,
treasury notes and greenbacks, and
to issue and fasten upon this coun-
try gold interest bearing bonds to
the amount of the money and cur
rency thus destroyed. The coin
bonds of the government already is
sued will then be made payable in
gold only.
4th. To increase the power of the
national bonds by turning over to
their management and control the
entire issue of paper currency to
be redeemed in gold.
If the above Infamous scheme
succeeds the hard times we now have
will be made twice as hard and the
liberty and prosperity of the Ameri-
can people will be sealed forever.
The object Of the Honest Money
Clubs" will be to bring together all
men who are opposed to this diaboli.
cal English plot and who will fight
not only to the bitter end to prevent
its consummation but also to re-
store and MAINTAIN an honest finan-
cial system.
The time has come when it is the
duty Of every patriot of every party
to come together and fight the Eng.
lish gold curse with the same unity
zeal and determination that oul
forefathe1s fought and drove Brit.
ish bayonets from American soil.
AS soon as club is organized
send in the name and postoffice OF
the the President and Secretary OF
your club.
| recommend that q State conven.
ton Of these clubs, as soon as a suf.
fcient number are organized, hold 8
State conference for the purpose Of
consultation, &c.

Why Was She Offended?

Chicago Post.I
"No, we don't speak now" said
the girl in gray.
"Why not?" asked the girl in
dark blue.
"She showed me her new boomers
yesterday, and while admired them
and said they we're very pretty
boomers l told her that nothing in
the world could ever induce me to
wear such things"
"And what did she say"
"She just looked at my feet and
said she wouldn't wear them if she
were in my place"

A Queen Studies Medicine.


Queen Amelie, of Portugal, took
up the study of medicine on account
Of the ill-health of her royal consort.
The King is suffering from for
nation of the fat around the heart,
and, as the complaint increased, al
though the King took plenty of e1-
ercise, and as the doctors did not
seem to agree upon the treatment,
the Queen made up her mind to
study the case herself. She has now
passed q regular sort of examination
before a medical board, and thus
duly qualified. She has taken over
the treatment of the King, who has
tn, fullest confidence IN her ability,
and who is already deriving benefit
by following her orders.

Tres Own Method Of Freeing Herself from Disease.

Without the Use of Medicine. We
have fully investigated the Improved

and have no hesitancy in saying il il
the best treatment known To the en-
Eghtened practice of medicine. We do
not hesitate to accord unstinted

terest of the readers of these REPoRTs,
asking nothing Of the Company. This
investigation was conducted without

this to be a superlative system for the
cure of disease. The Company furT-
ishing the Improved Oxygencr is con-
trolled by regularly graduated physi-
clans whose experience and practice,
covering half century of time give
this treatment value and a standing

Types Of Old World Beauty.

London Standard
1t is said that when artists are
seeking for models the palm for
beauty and symmetry of figure is
given to the girls of Spain, while the
daughters Of rural Ireland are a
good second. The pretty faces and
graceful threats are found among
English maidens. A model for a per-
feet arm would be sought for among
Grecian ladies, while a lady of the
Turkish harcm would be regarded
~ the possessor of a daintily COM
mendabIe hand. Italians are usually
good in figure, and some of the most
beautiful models, perfectly proper
toned are derived from the women

Notes and Queries.l
Byron, in the third canto Of
"Childe Harold" describes thun-
derstorm in Switzerland which &C.
CURED at midnight on June 13,
1916. lie notices the awful stiffness
which precedes it:
All heaven and earth are still, though
not in sleep,
But breathless,
until
From peak to peak, the rafting crags
among,
Leaps the live thunder! Not from one
lone cloud,
But every mountain now hath found a
tongue,
And Jura answers, through her misty
shrOud,
Back to the joyous Alps, who call to her
aloud!
The description is too long to
quote, and, indeed, too we'll known,
but Sir Walter Scott's criticism on it
may not be 80 well known. He
says:
"This is one of the most beautiful
passages of the poem. The fierce
and far delight of thunderstorm
is here described in verse almost az
vivid as its lightnings. The live
thunder 'leaping among the rafting
crags,' the voice of mountains, as if
shouting to each other, the FLASHING
of the big rain, the cleaning of the
wide lake, lighted like phosphoric
sea, present picture of sublime
terror, yet of enjoyment, often at.

DEAR SIR: The interests Of National
bankers require immediate financial
legislation by Congress. Silver, silver
certificates and treasury notes must be
retired and the National bank notes
upon gold basis made the only money.
This will require the authorization of
from $5OO,OOO,OOO to $1,OOO,OOO,OOO of
new bonds as a basis Of circulation.
You will at once retire One-third of
your circulation and call in One-half
of your loans. Be careful to make{a
money stringency felt among your
patrons, especially among influential
business men. Advocate an extra ses-
sion Of Congress for the repeal of the
purchase clause Of the Sherman law
and act with the other banks of your
city in securing large petition to
Congress for its unconditional repeal
per accompanying form. Use personal
influence with congressman and par
ticularly let your wishes be known t.
your senator. The future life of ma.
tional banks as fixed and safe invest
ments depends upon immediate action
as there is an increasing sentiment in
favor of government legal tender notes
and silver coinage.

DEAR SIR: 1t is advisable to do all
in your power to sustain such promi-
nent daily and weekly newspapers,
especially the Agricultural and reli-
gious press, As will oppose the issuing
Of greenback paper money, and that
you also withhold patronage of favOrs
from all applicants who are not will
ing to oppose the government issue of
money. Let the government issue the
coin and the banks the paper money
Of the country, for then we can better
protect each other. TO repeal the law
creating national bank notes, or to re-
store to circulation the government
issue of money will be to provide the
people with money, and will therefore
seriously affect your individual profit
as bankers and lenders. See your
congressman at once, and engage him
to support our interests that we may
control legislation.
