Of the gold to pay the interest on
the debt
In 1916 the debt was sixty times
the annual product Of the money
metals. In 1873 the debt had
grown to be one hundred and
forty times the product OF the
money metals, and now, with gold
only as money, the debt is four
hundred times the value Of the
product Of money.
All this vast Indebtedness is
evidenced by some form Of paper
certificates. Ninety per cent Of it
is in the hands Of less than three
million people. Ten great bank
ing houses in Europe handle and
control over half of it.
Hints have been dropped chat
President Mckinley did not "a
gard the need for gold legislation
at this session AS being SO urgent
as Secretary Gage and the repre-
sentatives Of the Monetary Con-
ference, who have been much in
evidence by reason Of their state
ment before the House Committee
on Banking and Currency in favor
Of their bill, have made it appar-
ent that they did.
Speaker Reed is said to have be-
CO me convinced some time ego Of
the impossibility Of important
currency Legislation at this session,
and to have s2id that it Won be
an impossibility to construct I, DILL
that six of the leading members of
his party in the House would agree
upon in all its details. He is also
credited with having advised that
financial agitation be dropped as
lar as possible for the remainder
of the session. That is much easier
said than done, now that the cx-
tremes of all the parties have got
under q full head OF steam. There
is bound to be financial talk.
President Mckinley has asked
Congress to appropriate $473, 1926
to- pay the damages awarded the
owners OF scaling vessels under
the British flag, by the Arbitra-
ton Commissions SIS compensa-
ton for the seizure OF their yes
sells by this government, and Con-
gross win probably do it, although
it will not be done with good will.

The People Believe
What They Read About Hoods
SarsapariEla
Their Faith in This Medicine is
Grounded on Merit
They Know 1t Absolutely Cures
When Other Medicines Fail

Hoods Sarsaparilla is not merely a sim
pie preparation of Sarsaparilla, Dock,
Stillingia and little Iodide of Potassium.
Besides these excellent alternatives. is
also contains those great anti bilious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion.
1t also contains those great kidney renee
dies, iva Ursi, Juniper Berries, and
Pipsissewa.
Nor are these all. Other very valuable
curative agents are harmoniously COM
bined in Hoods Sarsaparilla, and it liz
carefully prepared under the personal
supervision of regularly educated phar"
macist.
Knowing these facts, is the abiding faith
the people have in Hoods Sarsaparills
matter of surprise? You can see why
Hoods Sarsaparilla cures, when other
medicines totally, absolutely fail.

eczema and suffered for seven years. She
was attended by physicians and tried
many different kinds of medicine with

A FROSTED
FAILURE.
That's What the French Ball
in Gotham Was.
PRESTINE GLORY LOST.
The Annual French Ball in New York
Proved to be More of q Wake Than
Fes ivity, but a Financial Sue
cess

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The French
hall of wicked reputation, took place al
Madison Square Garden last night, or
rather this morning. and hundreds who
hopep to see it in its prestine glOries
went away disappointed. The big gard
en- was packed, but there we're nine
men to one woman and the proportion
was chilling. Most men were in street
clothes. A remarkable thing about
the crowd was it's fraukness. The men
and women did not put on masks. They
paid their money and walked in and
took seats with calm deliberation- and
waite for things to happen. With
stony stares they gazed upon the floor.
Some stayed an hour, some two hours
and some longer. Most of them looked
sad when they went away. The women
who were active participants did
not come out of their clothes any more
than the chorus girls in an hundred
comic operas and they shocked nobody.
There was not nearly as much display
in the direction of legs as is seen any
night in the theatres. AbOut2 O'CLOCK
this morning, however, there were
signs that the crowd was covering it's
sorrow in drink. The wine rooms
were the centers of attraction. On'y
champagne was sold but the incessant
popping of cOrks was accompanied
only by an occasional dull thud as
some helpless individual fell to the
floor. The ball was financial success
but it was q wake, not festivity-
and very sodden wake at that.
