GOLD SPECULATION.

Believed Yellow Coin rs Being with
drawn to Put In Again.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-The treasury
lost $l,073,S in gold coin and $40, 400
III bars, leaving the true amornt of the
reserve $40, ,29S,779.
Notwithstanding the success of the
now loan, fears arc entertained that n
considerable share of the gold offered i'll
payment will have been withdrawn
from the treasury for that purpose.
In anticipation of the loan the gold
withdrawn from the treasury during
the month from Jan. 9 to Feb. s
amounted to $7,840, ,545, which, added to
Thursdays Withdrawals makes an ag.
gregatc of about $S.500,000.
The magnitude of the subscriptions to
the loan, which amounted to over $780,
000,0 calls attention to the fact that
the total amount of gold coin and gold
certificates i'll circulation in the United
States is less than $3.50, ,000, 900, and the
natural inference is that great number
of bidders must have depended upon
getting their supply from the treasury
or outside sources.
What will be the result upon the re-
serve is a matter of grave concern, and
while tits expected that it will be aug
mented by at least Sill, 100000 as re-
suit of the present sale, it is not so APP
parent that ON the date the last Install
ment becomes due the reserve will not
have been reduced to n point not greatly
in excess of the $l00,000,000 require

The man who eats because he Is
hungry is, thus far, on level with
the brutes. The man who stops
eating the moment his hunger Is
appeased Is the wise man. Nature
needs no more food than she calls
for. Continued excess brings about
indigestion or dyspepsia, with loss
Of flesh, strength, sleep, ambition
and mental power; and an accumu-
lation of aches, pains and many
dangerous local maladies.
The stomach noD can do nothing
alone. We must appeal TO some
artificially digested food which can
also digest other foods. That Is to
say, we must use the Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial. The effect Is
prompt and cheering. The chron-
ic pain and distress ceases. Appe-
lite presently revives. Flesh and
vigor gradually come back, and the
sufferer recovers. But he must be
careful In future. A trial bottle for
