WHAT ISIT
Mrs. Jefferson S Remedy
WILL NOT DO
In Blood Trouble 2

Mrs. Joe Person, I think 1T only nus
tice to yourself and to all who are af
hicted with ScrofuIa to give you and
the public a statement concerningimy
boy who was afflicted with scrofuhous
White Swelling. He was but little Over
two years old when taken and the
family physician was at once called
to his case. 1t was treated very sac
cessfully during the first stages of the
disease. After this there was no per-
ceptible improvement in his condition
he could not take the physic that was
necessary for him. At this period I
saw Mrs. Person and procured somefof
the Remedy and commenced it's use.
The boy began improving very much
and could take Iodide of Iron and To-
dide of Potassium without any trouble
in connection with Mrs. Persons Rem
edy. When l began using the Rene
dy, the knee joint was stiff, he could
not walk a step without assistance.
The knee joint soon improved and he
learned a second time to walk. The
thigh bone was affected and large
quantities dissolved and ran out, like
coarse corn meal.
/ continued the use Of the Remedy
till the boy was pronounced free from
ScrofuIa. / need not say any more as
he is to-day living witness as to the
efficacy OF Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy
earning his living by the sweat of his
brow.

THE EXAMPLE OF FRANCE.
How Bimetalllsm Worked Thero Between
1903 and 1873.

l0Uo anu 10 ..
Sir Henry Ilucks Gibbs, for 40 years
4 director OF the Bank of England, at
one time its governor and gold delegate
to the international convention OF 1873,
. bimetallist now and for the rest OF
his life, declares land that he had per-
sonal knowledge goes without saying)
that from 1903 to 1873, Notwithstanding
the fact that the law requires nothing
of the sort to be done, there was not
day when anv person could not go to
the Bank of France and get either gold
or silver for the other at the mint ratio
of l5H. to l. Silver was rendered and
coined every year, and gold every year
but 1888 and 1872. When England in
1921 resumed specie payments, after
a long period of paper currency, the
coinage of gold in France fell off very
much, and when in 1870 and following
years the great increased production OF
gold came into the worlds supply, 1t
was rendered and coined in immense
quantities. But all this time the mints
were coming both metals, and the open
mint of France. like pipe between two
reservoirs, maintained the level of the
two masses Of metal and was the equal
izcr Of their variations. Nothing could
more beautifully or triumphantly IL.
lustrate the fundamental principle OF
bimetallism. The two metals became
in effect one metal, one primary-money
mass. to respond to the demands Of debt
and business and to support with broad
er basis the credit fabric Of the world.
Said Mr.. Cernuschi, French delegate at
the monetary conference Of 1881: "Ths
law by placing the yellow metal and the
white metal on the same footing, by e.
tablishing a fixed and invariable ratio
between them, has made them really
. single money."-C. T. Stone. In Chi.

creditor class the same as the selfish
interests of the debtor class? Is it not
to the interest of the credior class to
getoutof the debtor class all they can by
right or might. and is it not as much
the interest of the debtor class to es-
cape them-to pay them-just os little
as they are allowed to do? At least, is
this not their selfish interest, and what
both classes the most practice?
It seems to me that but one answer,
nm affirmative, can be made to this, also
Now, fellow-laborer, to which OF these
two classes do you belong? Is IT. to the
moneyed class, the creditors-although,
perchance, you do have small savings
bank account or . life insurance policy,
which few real laborers have? Some
politicians contend that the day laborer.
with days wages unpaid, is creditor
and belongs to the great creditor class,
but Is not this rather far fetched? Then
we arc told that the best interests of the
creditor and debtor class are identical.
Granting this, but q practiced, is it not
an interest similar to the mutual in
tcrests Of the lion and lamb, with the
lamb within the lions NAV? As to the
silver mine cwner, what need it concern
US whose interests nre linked to ours so
that our own are forwarded and pre-
served? Are the interests of the silver
mine owner and the laborer Identical?
Let statistics say whether all the prod
ucts Of labor have not decreased in value
along with the fall Of silver, and let good
common sense say whether decreasing
in value with silver it is not reasonable
to suppose they will increase In value
together. Fellow-laborer, the field has
been fairly and clearly looked over:
Which side will you vote?-"Agricola'"
