before they had any interest in deny.
ing the truth. In the New York Sun
Of Sept. 10, 1898, for instance, was an
editorial Of which this is an extract:
For more than Is years. 1873 to 1898, all the
great primary agricultural staples have been
declining in price, although there have been
periods when the price of some one was high
for limited time. This is moro notably true
as respects secondary products, especially
meats and lard. but the trend of the whole
scale has been constantly downward, and the
general price level at the end of each year
was lower than at its beginning. In the mean
time there had been no material reduction in
the cost Of production, the self binder, the
gang pillow, mower, hay tedder and hay loader
and all other great improvements in agricul-
tural machinery having come into use prior to
1878. Subsequent notifications and improve.
ments have been in the direction of greater
facility in operation rather than of lessened
cost. While it is true tot there has been q
material reduction in the cost of farming i'm
plements, such reduction has not always re-.
suited in lessening the cost of production on
the farm, new machines have often dis
placed those which were but partially worn
and which were quite as efficient.
It is probable that upon farms large enough
to warrant the purchase of full lines Of i'm.
proved machinery the cost of production has
thereby been lessened 10 per cent, but such
farms constituting less than per cent of the
whole area under cultivation the aggregate
saving from such economies has been slight
and has probably been fully Offset by the
progressively increasing use of commercial
fertilizers which he's been found necessary in
all the region east of the Mississippi, not to
increase the fertility Of tho land, but simply
to prevent further deterioration.

THE HOME TREATMENT
That's What the National Liquor Cure
Company Furnishes

lts Marvellous Effects Upon

The National Liquor Cure Company,
who have recently opened an office in
this city, are meeting with a reception
that must be highly gratifying to them.
The glowing reports concerning the
great cure that have come from the East
have made most persons in Los Angeles
familiar with 1t and inquirers are flock
ing to the office by dozens. A cure that
can be administered at home, without
the slightest publicity, that has nothing
unpleasant or dangerous about it, that
leaves no after bad effects, and that
doesn't cost much of anything, is GER
tainly a novelty, and 1t is not to be won
dered at that sensible people, addicted
to the liquor habit, and the friends of
such, should be attracted by it. There
seems to be no manner of doubt that the
cure cures. There is plenty Of evidence
of this, though the company does not
exhibit nor ask testimonials, nor even
refer by name to the people treated. Ev-
erything is in the strictest confidence
and on honor. The address Of the Ma
tional Liquor Cure Company is Wilson
Block, rooms 122 and 1913. Letters so
addressed will receive prompt attention.

and Social Doings at Pasadena

PASADENA, Jne l0.-Dr. Allen Crit
dths, Pacific coast lecturer OF the Theo-
eophioal society in America, held the
closest attention of an audience OF
thinking people last evening at x. OF F.
hall, where he delivered his lecture on
High Lights of Theosophy. Following
is an outline of the lecture:
The society Is q body of studious men
and women unsectarian. and numbers
among its members people OF all be-
liefs and nationalities. It has no creeds
or dogmas. and liberation Of the be-
liefs Of others Is insisted upon. Theos-
ophy Is not new. but was taught by
sages Of all time. Zoraster, Budha,
Jesus, Plato. Confuscius, Boehme, Para
celsius and Blavatsky all taught theoso-
ply. Three basic principles are pro-
claimed.
First, the unit of consciousness is the
basis Of all manifestation. That unit
IL God, Deity, Allah, Parabrahm, the
Great Spirit. About its essence specu-
lation Is useless. Theosophists do not
attempt to define God, but its manifes-
tations and works. including themselves,
they study. There is but one supreme,
and all things are its other and outer
self, through which 1t manifests. 1t Is
omniscient and omnipresent, omnipo-
tent. ever hidden to the physical senses
by the panoply OF nature.
Second, reincarnation, or successive
earth lives OF each individual thinker.
the natural order of human existence
and evolution.
Third, karma, the law of cause and
effect governing human thought and ac-
tion and connecting the many earth
lives Of each thinker In an unbroken
series.
Evolution means rising from lower to
q higher state by natural and undevi-
ating processes. The thinker during
aeons Of the past evolved up through the
mineral, vegetable and animal king
doms to the human stage. 1t was never a
rock, plant.a beast: 1t IL not now hui
man. Those stages were the links in an
endless chain OF its evolution. Man Is not
the lowest stage, nor Is he the highest;
above him the adept; an unavoidable
conclusion IL evolution is admitted, un-
less 1t Is arrogantly assumed that man
The thinker. like an actor, plays many
parts and each part is an earth life and
advances upon its predecessor. There
Is no retrogression, but always progress
Because the thinker may become uncon-
scious as to mundane affairs during the
interim between earth lives, or may
evince no memory Of previous lives, is
no evidence 1t never existed before on
this planet. We become unconscious at
night during sleep and have no memory
OF infant stages of our present life, yet
we know we lived yesterday and were
once infants.
Whatsoever a man sows that shall
he reap" said Jesus, and its theosoph-
ical Interpretation is the law of karma.
1t Is plain man does not reap in one
life all fruits of that life's sowing; but
1t is plain he shall do so some time.

trial, how he and the defendant Guav-

home of Mrs Platt, the murdered wo-
man, at midnight and dragged her from
her home, how after outraging their

the body to the house, which they set

of their terrible crime would be wiped
