BETTER THAN MONEY
A NEW AND IMPORTANT WAY OF LOOK.
ING AT THE CURRENCY QUESTION

Public interest for months past has
been steadily concentrated upon our
national currency. Parties are divided
on the question. Men are worked up
over it. 1t means a great deal for the
welfare of millions.
There is one way of looking at the
question that seems to have been lost
sight Of Is it not better to have $50
in gold than s. i'll silver? And yet there
are many people who are practically
throwing away large amounts and
holding onto the smaller amount. Many
people who might be earning ten times
as much as they do, fail because they
lack health and energy Health and
strength represent a value greater
than gold, and yet many people put up
with a run down system, which steals
away half their working power. Even
tually they lose by sickness and med
zeal expenses and their families suffer,
when it might all readily be avoided.
These are hard times. Thousands are
succumbing to the strains of life Ill
health is the rule and not the exception.
People need their best strength and
energy all the while. Health, which is
more valuable than gold can be MAIN
tanned and even secured when it is lost.
if the proper care and right remedy arc
used. And we do not hesitate to say
that there are but few men or women
who read these words that cannot be
put in perfect condition by the use of
that great, that grand discovery, War
ners Safe Cure. This entire paper
could be filled with testimonials from
the grateful ones whose lives have been
saved and whose health restored by its
use; and if you, reader, are a sufferer.
you may readily be among the number.
We earnestly recommend you to think
seriously upon this subject.

Exhibition of Water Colors

Miss Ney. the we'll known artist, has
on exhibition at 435 South Broadway
fine collection of her water colors. The
collection covers a great variety of sub
iects. and no two alike. We have had
a surfeit here of cheap class painting
the commercial production of the much
abused California subiects-so that
such an exhibition as Miss Ney is Civ
ing us is rare treat. Most attractive,
if it is possible to select from the lot,
is a fine group of Tokay grapes with
their soft, transparent shadows. fine
color and tempting relief. There are
several rose panels which show delicate
handling and are so true to nature in
form and color as to lend a fragrance
to the room they grace. In painting
the old mission bits, Miss Ney seems to
have simply reproduced them on min
iature scale, atmosphere and all. Much
praise has been given to Miss Ney's s
collection in the Academy Of Design,
New York, and as it consists of Califor-
MIA subjects a general interest is felt
here as we'll as there among the art
lovers. Marie A. Ney is too well known
here and in Pasadena to need further
introduction to the public and we are
glad to say her exhibit is well at
tended.

in speech of acceptance.
