kidneys are sick they not only leave
bad matter in the blood, but sometimes
take out the good. Nothing is more pol

is rheumatism, which is simply blood

pleasant.
To the Editor of the Globe.
The necessity OF the city council making
the tuberculin test for dairy COWS obligatory
has been brought to my attention in not
very agreeable manner, My family has been
supplied with milk by the dairyman whose
cows DR.. Price treated last Friday, with this
result: Twenty cows of a herd Of
twenty-six were found to have tuberculosis.
During the past four years the dairy in
spectors have given the most favorable re-
ports of this dairy. ] personally know that
the barn and surroundings were scrupulously
clean, the cows fat and apparently healthy,
Physicians who have made the disease of
tuberculosis the study of their lives differ
as to the manner that Lubercle bacilh are
introduced in the system, but it is certain
that no one can at all times drink the milk
from tuberculous cows with the assurance
that it will do no harm
DR., Price informs me that the case of the
dairy mentioned is by no means an isolated
one. He has tested the cows Of other dairies
in the city, and found many Of them affected
with tuberculosis. 1t is a well-established
fact that this disease in cattle is widely
prevalent. The consumer Of milk should re-
alize the vital Importance of obtaining milk
from tested COWS. 1t is to be hoped that
the good work begun by the G | o b e will
go on. Respectfully yours,

tory as the only place north Of Mason and
Dixons line where resolutions of secession
were presented at public meeting, debated
and passed. Sugar Creek township at that
time was the best developed and most thickly
settled strip of land in this part of Indiana
One Saturday afternoon, Feb. 16, 1861 public
meeting was held in the school house, at which,
with one dissenting voice, it was resolved that
''if after all peaceable efforts have been made
to keep the several states united in one grand
confederacy they must divide, and we must
be cast with one or the other portion we do of
choice prefer to be attached to the Southern
Confederacy.'
The resolution was published in the Louis
vile daily papers, all of which contained
lengthy editorials, in which it was claimed
that the action of the voters of Sugar Creek
township, Shelby county, Indiana, voiced the
sentiments of almost all the people of the
Western states. Yet no county furnished more
soldiers in proportion to it's population than
did Shelby county. In two weeks time after
Sumter fell two full companies were organized

BrYan'S Bold EalSehOOdS.

No other candidate for the highest
Office conferred by the votes of the
American people has ever resorted to
bold falschoods to an equal degree with
w. j. Bryan, the Populist and anar-
chistic candidate for President-not even
regard for truth in his political state
ments. At Burlington, October 8, not.
withstanding he knew that every intelli-
gent person in his audience would know
that he was stating q base falsehood,
Bryan said:
We have repealed the Sherman law and
Bland act, and are making no provision to
utilize silver. no provision to add to the cur
rency by the Increase in our silver money.
That false statement was made with
the desire and intent to deceive the ig-
norant and weak-minded voters of the
United States. What are the facts?
Only the enforced monthly purchase
The Sherman law is still in full force
and effect, with the exception of that en-
forced purchase clause, and more than
twice as many standard silver dollars
have been coined since that clause was
repealed as were coined during all Of
the eighty-siX years from 1892 to 1878.
Is it necessary to prove that statemen'
after all the monthly reports of II IS
coinage of silver dollars? If so, he.o
is the proof from Secretary Carlisle, in
response to a letter from the Louisville
Courier-Journal:
From January l.. 1896. to September 80,
1896, standard silver dollars have been
coined at the minis of the United States TO
the amount of S13,912.512. Since November
|. 1S93, the date Of the repeal of the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman act. standard
silver dollars have been coined in the United
States to the amount of SlI 1858, 491, or more
than twice as much as was coined during
the whole period of our history prior to
1878.
Standard silver dollars were coined last
month, by the United States minis, to
the aggregate of 50. 700. 900; about the
same amount will be coined this month;
the standard silver dollars are being
coined every day, and they were being
coined every moment Bryan was utter
ing his known fulsehoods at Burlington,
and at all other points during the work
ing hours of the mints. What do the
people of the United States think of a
blatant demagoguc who will, as Il candi-
date for President. stand up before
them and tell such an ignominious false
hood in view of the positive proof that
more than twice as many standard silver
dollars will be &c; ti ,nlS year as We're
coined by the United States from 1892
to 1878? 1t certainly must be true that
even a dishonest man will not utter
such bold falsehOods unless he is en-
ployed to utter them by the millionaire
silver mine owners who are making Il
desperate effort to increase their profits
100 per cent. per day. No man who
knows the facts in regard to silver lcgis-
lation and coinage can vote for Bryan
without committing a crime against his
own conscicnce.-Des Moines State Reg.

PrOfit-Sharing in Saxony.

Profit-sharing has reached a high de-
velopment in SaXony. One of the most
noticeable successes in this line is the
plan of Sieler Il Vogel. paper manu-
facturers of Grimma. The concern EN-
ploys $50 hands, of whom seventy are
women. and the system has been in oper-
alton for a quarter of a century. Some
times the yearly surplus to one person
amounts to 500. Men called upon for
military service continue drawing their
full pay. A corporation store sells all
goods except liquors at an advance above
cost, slight, but enough to give a 10 per
cent. dividend each year, which is divided
among the patrons. A savings bank run
by the firm pays 3 per cent. on deposits,
while the usual bank rates are ~ to 8
per cent. The firms eating house sells
square meals for 5 cents. 4tge premi-
ums are awarded for long service. There

Havracks and Money.

Well. now. what is currency? | am
not going into any big definition OF 1t.
| am going to give you a very homeiy
one that | have given to the farmers in
one of my counties. If you have a $1,000
house and sell it for 5000 in gold, you
have got in your wv hands the equlva-
lent of what you sold. Suns may rise
and set. Dynasties may appear and dis
appear on earth. But so long as you
keep that $4,000 in gold you have got
the value of your house. Now, II you
want to buy something with that gold,
Won have got before you the potentiality
IF everything on earth. You can buy a
$4,000 bond; you can buy a journey
around the earth, rather uXurlouslE; you
can buy dancing and music, you can
have orators discourse to you. and you
ann have astronomers hunt UP stars for
vol, to the extent of $1,000 t~aughterl,
int there are inconvienccs about TINS
$1,000. 1t is bulky for some purposes
and not bulky enough for others. 1t Is
linbl Il to be stolen.
And hence they have adopted a plan
If substituting a check for 1t, ana tlley
can substitute any amount OF cliecks Tor
that $4,000, as much as the community
w,;il Ioar. How much the community
Nil hear depends entirely upon the con-
fdnncn which the community has i'll each
other Now, that confidence varies. IN
800 before we made our little mistake

AHffter the panic came | did not get credit

So YOU see this whole business OF the

Now. what is all this %paraphernalia of
