Pneumatic Tires for Vehicles.

In the last number of Engineering
News the use of pneumatic tires on car
riage wheels in Paris is discussed, and
it is shown that the force required to
draw a carriage so equipped is much
less than when an iron tire is used.
Pneumatic rubber tires were applied
to wheels by R. W. Thomson, an Eng
lish civil engineer, in 1916, with good
results, but the device lapsed. Now,
in Paris, such tires are in common use
on cab wheels. The economy of their
use is about 3S per cent on good roads
and 68 per cent on newly broken stone.
The result is much the same. whether
the road be made muddy or covered
with snow. The solid rubber tire is
better than the iron tire, but the in
f1ated tire is the best. Besides diminish
ing the power required for traction the
pneumatic tire is without noise and
frees the rider from jar and minor
jolts. Both the bicycle wheels with
wire spokes and the wheel with wooden
spokes is used in Paris. The re-
suit is best when the air pressure in the
tire is about 6.5 pounds.

A Lucky Chance for the Sick.

Every ailing and suffering person
who is wise will instantly accept this
generous offer. Coming from the very
highest authority, as it does, gives it
the greatest weight, and people know
when they see a good thing like this.
Everybody knows of DR.. Greene, the
most successful specialist in curing
nervous and chronic diseases, of 30
West 14th St, New York City. His
successful system of treating patients
through letter correspondence is at
tracting great attention. All you have
got to do is this. Write him a letter
about your com plant, tell him how
you feel, and he will answer it, giving
a thorough explanation of your case
and telling the surest way to get WELL
He gives most careful and explicit
attention to every letter, and explains
your case as comprehensively, that you
understand Immediately exactly what
ails you, and just what to do for your
self. And for all this he makes no
charge. He is the discoverer of that
remarkable medicine, DR.. Greene's Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy. This
splendid offer is being taken advantage
of by thousands, and they are getting
we'll by his wonderfully successful
treatment. The very best thing you
can do, reader, is to write the Doctor
Immediately; it will cost you nothing,
and it will surely be the means OF max
ing you well and strong. Don't delay
until it is too late, but write now.

Chairman Jones' Estimate.

Senator Jones of the Democratic
National Committee, characterizes the
estimate of the probable electoral vote
as given out by Senator Quay as a
gigantic bluff" The chairman point
ed out that of all the States classed by
Senator Quay as doubtful, only Ten
nessee and Virginia have not effected
compile fusion of democrats, populists
and silver republicans. The Senator
also stated that of the States classed
for Mckinley there was complete fu-
sion of the siver forces in the follow
ing: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, North
Dakota, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
In thirty-two States altogether COM

upon that State as safe for Bryan for
large majority.

Last Hope, Deception.

McKinley's hope now consists in
again deceiving the wage-earner by
specious promises of advantages from
increased factory and public work.
They are promised increased wages
and payment in 1.-THE best money
gold. No imposture is supposed too
great for popular credulity. The pro-
| tracted and terrible conflict through
which laborers, with their families. on
public works have passed, have been
craven on their minds, and their hor-
rors reproduced by mention of the
names which provoked them. Flatter-
ing promises and hopes had lured
them heretofore. They realized
excessive charges at the company
stores at which they were required to
deal. Lower wages than promised,
fixed by company combinations; goad
ed to strikes to secure justice and re-
dress, but were met by the cold steel
of the military, invoked by the COM

roast beef" The promise now is in
creased wages and payment in 'the
best money" The laboring man knows
quite we'll that with half the money
denied coinage, that it will be impos-
sible to redeem the promises. That
they are only made to deceive the toll
er to get his vote and place the COM
bines and trusts in positions to compel
submission. Labor should not indulge
in hostility against capital, but it
should be careful to put in power those
who will defend the rights of the indi-
vidual citizen, and resist the arbitrary
and unjust incroachments of combined
capital. All the humble laborer asks
is equality of rights, and this he must
have under our constitution and laws.
At the polls he can assert his rights |
and make his influence felt by sup
porting the ticket headed by Bryan,
the friend of the plain people,; stand
ing for equal rights and justice to all. |
The Indebtedness of the country will |

1t has been held that consumption is
hereditary, and the fact that one per-
son of u family had died with consump.
ton was considered a sure sign that
others of that family could not escape
it, This is partly true and partly un-
trne. A man with weak lungs is like
ly to transmit that weakness to his
children. But there is no reason in the
world why the weakness should be al
lowed to develop. Keep the lungs full
of rich. red, wholesome blood, and the
weakness will disappear. Decaying
tissues will be shown aft, and new ma
terial will be added until the lungs are
well and perfectly strong again. This
is the thing that DR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery does. This is what
makes it cure SO per cent. of all cases
of consumption where it is taken ac-
cording to directions. 1t searches out
disease germs wherever they may be in

The Origin Of the Weeping Willow In the
United States.

A German paper in the West is our
authority for the statement that all
the weeping willows in this country
came from a tree planted in Abingdon,
Va, by John Parker Eustis, stepson
of Washington. Young Eustis was
attached to Gen. Washington's staff
during the years 1775 and 1776. BY
order of the commander, Eustis went
several times to the headquarters of
the English general, and on one of
these occasions became acquainted
with young English officer, who gave
the American officer a branch of a
weeping willow, gathered from a tree
upon Pope's Villa near Twickenham,
England, and John Parker Eustis
planted the branch before his house in
Abingdon. Va.

The Money Controversy.

AS early as 1916, DR.. Loetbeer, a per-
sistent and enthusiastic Hollander.
commenced the discussion, and per.
suaded the numerous states of Europe,
with as many kinds of money, denom-
nations, and diversities of values. to
unite in universal money, to meet
the demands of trade and travel be-
tween the States, and especially to
accommodate the wealthy foreign
tourists in their expenditure of vast
sums of money annually. Various
conferences were held; the suggestions
approved and enthusiasm excited.
The difficulty of agreeing on a common
standard, subdivisions and designa-
tions. delayed and embarrassed them.
Gold was agreed on as the most con-
venient to the traveller. But what
existing system shall be adopted, and
all others conform to it; or, to relieve
from the jealousies, shall an entirely
new money nomenclature be adopted
and all the moneys of the Kingdoms
and Princedoms be recoined to con-
form. Here was presented what has
proved an insuperable barrier. The
difficulties increased as the practical
working was more fully examined, in
relation to the ancient policies and
settlements of the ages. Enthusiasm
cooled, and in the conference of 1878
leading powers deprecated the per-
secution and attempted abandonment
of silver, as a great mistake. The the
ory then advanced by Herr Herzoge
and others was, to divide the nations
in two classes, the advanced to adopt
the gold basis, and the less cultivated,
the silver standard; recognizing the
necessity of both moneys to serve the
purposes of trade. At Brussels, the
problem was not solved. The dissen-
sions in Europe, and the Intellectual
effort of the greater powers, excited a
degree of uncertainty, stagnation and
suspense, which has been early felt
by the toiling populations, ,and aroused
feeling of discomfort which bodies
no peace and stability to crowns and
monarchies. Superadded, there are
stored very many millions of wealth,
the collections of ages, in silver, which
it were folly and madness to destroy
for a theory, in which is little more
than sentiment. The unification of
tho mopou Of tho Gornop E,,,r,;ro
tends to consolidation. A like process
among the other States will tend to
further combinations, ,endangering the
present balence of powers. Misled by
the representations, at the conference
of 1867 at Paris, by Col. Ruggles, that
the people of the United States were
heartily favorable to the gold basis,
gave rise to the foreign thought that
the act of 1878 would establish that
basis in America, and help to pull it
through Europe. The attempt to foist
the gold theory of Europe with its
contraction and many disturbing fea-
lures on the United States. is the
Pandoras Box of our financial ills, and
political party convulsions. Europe is
halting between two opinions, whether
to retrace her steps or advance. The
o. s. with a like money in all the
States, has not the same reasons for
desiring change from the two metals
as the family of nations of Europe.
Our policy is Washingtonian; entang-
ling alliances with none, why quit our
own to stand on foreign ground.

I'VE NEED BOTH GOLD AM

! ut would not be difficult to show
that in the nations where both have
been fully reorganized, the most wide
ly diffused, the steadiest and most con.
tinuous prosperity has been enjoyed
that true form of prosperity which
reaches all classes, but which begins
with the day laborer, whose toll lays
the foundation of the whole super
structure of wealth.

''The gold and silver nation, like
France, can exhibit no such individual
fortunes as abound in England, but it
has peasantry that, with their silver
savings, can pay war indemnity that
would have beggared the gold bankers
of London and to which the peasantry
of England could not have contributed
pound sterling in gold or single
shilling in silver.
"The two metals have existed side
by side in harmonious, honorable COM
panionship as money ever since intel
ligent trade was known among men.
1t is we'll nigh forty centuries since
Abraham weighed to Ephron the sill
yer which he had named in the audi

ages and through all these changes sill
yer and gold have reigned supreme as
the representatives of value, as the
media of exchange. The dethronement
of each has been attempted in turn,
and sometimes the dethronement of
both, but always in vain"

lungs is likely to transmit that weakness to
his children. But there is no reason in the
world why the weakness should be allowed
to develop. There is no reason why the
lungs should remain weak. Weak lungs
predispose child to consumption. They
provide place for germs to settle. That
is all that is necessary. Once let the germs
of disease gain a foot-ho1d, and they in
crease with a deadly rapidity. Pretty soon
the blood is full of them, and so loses it,
healthfulness and its stTength;g giving quali-
ties. If the weakness is in some other
organ, the disease will show itself in that
organ. The germs will get into the blood,
just the same, and the body will begin to
lose strength. We speak particularly of
consumption because it is most common
because it causes more than one-Sixth of
all deaths III the world.
IF there is weak and crumb1y spot in
the foundation of house, the owner clears
out the decaying material, supplants it with
new, strong stuff. That's all there is to do.
That's II that's necessary.
That is exactly the thing to do with the
lungs. Keep them full of rich, red, whole
some blood, and the weakness will disap-
pear. Decaying tissues will be thrown off,
ind new material will be added until the
lungs. are we'll and perfectly strong again.
This is the thing that DR.. Pieree's Golden
Medical Discovery does. This is what
makes it cure o8 per cent.sDf all cases of
consumption where it is taken according to
directions. 1t searches out disease germs
wherever they may be in the body. 1t ex-
terminates them completely and forces
them out of the system. 1t supplies the
blood with rich 1ife-giving properties. It
makes the appetite good, digestion perfect.

To Attempt to Cure

catarrh by the use of so-called blood
remedies means the expenditure OF
many dollars and arrangement of the
stomach. That catarrh is not caused
by blood troubles is self-evident when
you reflect that attacks are always due
to sudden climatic changes or exposure
to cold, and occur most frequently dur
ing the winter and spring, though the
blood is as pure then as in summer OF
fall. A remedy which quickly relieves
and by thorough treatment cures the
catarrhal attacks has been found in
