Silver Down-Wheat Up.

The recent sharp advance in wheat CO.
incident with fall in silver is quite in line
with the experience of the last month and
annihilates the theory that the price of
silver is inseparably linked with the prices
of farm products.
Government assay bars fell to sixty five
and a half cents an ounce. At this price
the bullion value of the silver in a staud-
aid dollar is fifty and a half cents, so that
if the advocates of free coinage were sue
cessful we would have dollar wort h
about fifty cents.
Every claim made by the silverites has
been promptly refuted by the event. They
pleaded for the passage of the Sherman
law, asserting that the government pl,G-
chase OF nearly two hundred tons month
under that law-practically the entire
product of this country-would advance
the price of silver SO that sixteen ounces
would be equal to an ounce of gold. In
other words, they said it would sell Tor
ST. an ounce.
When the law passed and purchases un-
der it began silver was 81. 0S an ounce.
After more than three years of steady
government buying, when the law was
repealed silver was seventy cents. Re-
Gently the free coinage advocates have
been assuring the farmers that their wheat
would continue to fall unless silver could
be advanced What is the fact? Silver
goes down because the demand is not
equal to the supply, and wheat advances
because the demand exceeds the supply.
The farmer must see that the prices of
his products are not dependent upon the
fluctuations of silver, but upon the same
natural laws that govern all other COM
modities. New ork Herald

1t is an item worthy of note and we be-

value The j. b. Williams Co., whose
Shaving Soaps have been famous for over
half a century, make a Washing Powder
called "Ivorine," and have advertised with
us for number of years. They announce
that they put cake of Toilet Soap in every
package of Ivorine, giving it as a bonus with
each package. This Toilet Soap is really of
very great merit; it leaves the skin soft,
white and velvety, and it is like all of this
manufacturers productions, as nearly per
feet as soap can be made. The price of the
lvorine package remains the same as be-
fore the Toilet Soap was put in, so that the
soap is simply gratuity, hence the house.

BLEEDING TO DEATH,

Time was when doctors resorted to bleed
ing and cupping as cure for all diseases.
They were correct in supposing that in dis
ease the blood is impure but they were not
correct IN supposing that to let out the blood
would remove the disease, as that method
would only cure the disease at the expense
of life.
We now know that the best way is to
purify the blood, and 80 enable the blood to
do its work as intended by nature. The
mineral water, Yysilanti Specific, is the
greatest blood purifier known. 1t is natures
own true remedy and should be in every
house. If your dealer does not supply you
with this water, write to the YPsILANTI
SPECIFIC Co., at 104 BROAD ST., Boston, and
they will see that you are supplied.

Prof. Woods on "CereaIs as Foods. "

Prof. Charles D. Woods, director of the
agricultural experiment station at the Maine
State College, read paper at the Worlds
Foods" He compared wheat, rye, maize
and barley from the standpoint of their rela-
tive values and called attention to the differ
ent methods Of milling employed in the pro-
duction of cereal fours, etc. He also dis
cussed the composition, digestibility and
ways from different kinds of flour and point
ed out especially the difference between
pastry, bread, graham and entire wheat
tiours. He laid considerable stress upon the
peculiar economy of this class of foods as
compared with other food materials, as we'll
as comparing different cereal products with
each other.
