in the writings of Edward Bellamy and
that the Looking Backward philoso-
pner was concerned with Debs in the
new scheme. Mr.. Bellamy not only de-
MES any participation in the undertake
ing. but when interviewed on the sub
iect at his home in Massachusetts, said
he knew nothing of it but what he saw
in the papers. Judging it by the re-
ports of the convention he considered
the. plan "a stupendous undertaking,
and one fraught with great danger.
He wanted to know how Mr.. Debs ex-
pects to move 100000 men to the site
Of his proposed cooperative common
wealth. The railroads certainly VIII
not help. and as full fares have to be
Maid 100000 men cannot well be sent
to Washington or Utah from Chicago
unless some man is prepared to draw
a check for S5,OOO,OoO or $6,OOO,O0O.
Mr.. Bellamy touched sensitive spot
in the scheme when he asked if there
would not be dissatisfaction over money
matters. Would not there be those
who would seek to feather their own
nests rather than to work for the best
good of the whole?" Money, he said,
is the great Stumbling block of all
labor organizations, and there would
undoubtedly be suspicious of unfair
dealing and dishonesty. Men who are
not used to handling large sums OF
money make trouble now over a bill
of S. for stationery. which seems to
them enormous extravaganza.
1t is we'll enough to plan out a social
istic commonwealth on paper, but put
ting the scheme to practical test on
the scale proposed by Mr.. Debs set

Americans were particularly con-
spicuous in London last week by TAX
ing the lead in the diamond display
contest. which the social functions
largely degenerated into. The woman
who could pile on the most gems was
considered the leader, the prize-win-
ner. so to speak. AS the American
vop~n who participated in this dis
play Of bad taste were, as rule, strong,
husky" danes. they were enabled to
carry more weight and thus win out.
Some went about with several jewelry
store stocks on their persons. Why
not have had athletic servants to do
this work for them. and thus displayed
their jewelry possessions in comfort?

Gold Versus Life.

Men are at present risking their lives
for gold. There is a stampede oil
eager, willing martyrs to the inhospit.
able country of the KIondyke. Many
will perish from cold and hunger. Not
one quarter of the people who 90
there will ever return. Not one half
of those who do return will return
any richer than they went. They will
not only ~endanger their health, but
their lives, for the sake of gold. And
yet everybody says that health is
more precious than Colds The thing
which restores health is, therefore,
more precious than gold. Pe-ru-na
restores health, cures all forms of
weakness, all forms and stages of
catarrh, builds up broken-down con-
situations, brings new life back to all
those who have become prematurely
old. The latest and best book ever
written on the subject of female diseas-
es will be sent free, to women only,
for a short time. Address The Pc
