A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors- How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and VIC noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla of al
druggists. Be sure to get only Hoods.

Electricity In the Field.

A new use has been found for electric
ity. A French scientist and agricul-
turist named Paulin has been expert
menting for some years and has at last
utilized the electric fluid with wonderful
success in the growth Of the products of
the farm. He has invented a machine
which he calls geomagnetiire. 1t con
sists of high pole planted in the center
of the field to be operated upon. AT the
top he places something resembling a
copper broom, with which is connected
by a steel wire network of other steel
wires, which is spread over the whole
field and buried at a sufficient depth be.
low the surface. This arrangement, il
is stated, will last several years.
The Frenchman's first experiment was
tried two years ago in a potato field. In
the space occupied by the electric wires
the plants had double vigor to those
outside. The yield of potatoes was not
only larger, but the single bulbs were OF
greater size, the increase lacking but a
few pounds of being double that where
the electricity was not used. The expert
ment was likewise tried in a field of
spinach with equally satisfactory results.
Until more particulars can be learned
it is unwise to hazard an opinion upon
the practicability of this scheme. Save
in the single branch of harvesting ag1.
culture as science has not quite kept
pace with Otl CTS the past 80 years, and
the experiments referred to are both in
teresting and instructive. With a fair
show farming would be the most certain
source of wealth as it is Of independence.
Commerce and manufactures flourish by
circumstances precarious, contingent
and transitory, almost as much so as
the four winds and the waves. But
it is rare indeed that the earth does not
give back generously and even lavishly

PLATFORMS TO BE CENSORED

The Republicans Of Utah were among
the first in the west to espouse the sill
yer cause. They took the initiative in
declaring for unrestricted coinage at
the ratio Of 16 to /. More. they saved
themselves from defeat by this course,
for no party could, then or now, carry
Utah against that doctrine. We believe
the mass Of Republicans in that state
are sincere in their convictions regard
ing the great economic question. We be-
lieve they will not willingly abandon It.
We do not believe they could be driven
from their position by fear Of defeat at
the polls. 1t is quite natural, therefore.
that they should now, as the campaign
approaches, discuss among themselves
the platform to be adopted-the partfcu-
lar form in which they shall reaffirm
their faith in the double standard. But
1t seems this Is not orthodox, and pres
sure is being brought to bear to get
them to desist. Under date of August 3
Marcus A. Hanna wrote to United States
Marshal Miller, at Salt Lake. the follow
ing letter:
I have been informed that 1t has been
suggested that the Republican party
of Utah, at the next state convention.
indorse in its platform the free coin
age of silver. AS chairman of the ma
tional Republican committee, charged
with the duties of the position, pro-
test against the Republicans of any
state taking such action. 1t would be
clearly in opposition to the principles
of the party as declared in the platform
at the national convention at st. Louis,
and I trust you will use your influence
and efforts to the end that that declara-
tion may be sustained.
We submit the case without argu-
ment The Republicans Of a state may
not adopt a platform without first sub
mitting it to Mark Hanna. The party
in California should lose no time in sub
hitting the draft to the keeper of Re-
publican consctences.

this estimate the country. a. far AZ the
public debt IL concerned, will be In
but little better condition-barring the
acquisition Of new territory-than It was
in 1865. at the close Of our gigantic Civil
war. OF four long years duration. Our
public debt in the year Of grace 1899 will
be fully 5000. 200, 900. OF course we are
progressing. and have made tremendous
strides In our defensive and offensive
modes Of warfare. We have, too. made
our English cousins smile joyousiy at
the possibilities Of an alliance with =
nation victorious on sea and land, and
have caused Germans and Trenchmen
to stare In amusement or grow green
with envy at the self-poise and self
abnegation of our sailors. the cool, ir-
reslstible military precision Of our
charging armies-the veteran virtues Of
our volunteers-but Is not the cost Of
even all this splendid prestige a trifie
steep? Our three months war with Spain
will cost the nation nearly half what 1t
cost US in four years to bring our south
ern brethren back into the Union. The
logic Of the situation is suggestive. Per-
haps our modern statesmen see In this
accumulation Of tax burdens for the peo-
pie grimly ironic approval Of the soph-
ism, "a public debt is public blessing" I"
But the common folk, who pay the taxes,
should demand an itemized bill of costs

THE PUBLIC DEBT

The public debt Of the United States
claims some attention at the hands of
the American people just at this time.
From 1894 to the breaking out of the
civil war, in 1851, the nations debt, while
a variable, was not a very formidable,
quantity. We may be said to have
started in the former year with nest
egg Of Indebtedness, bequeathed mainly
by the Revolutionary war, amounting to
SIS, ,407, ,404. There was no very marked
increase or decrease in these figures
until 1916, when, owing, doubtless to the
bill Of costs Of our then recent war with
England Cn 1922 having been filed, the
public debt reached for the first time
in our history the one hundred million
mark, being, in 1916, $127, 1874 1888. From
that time onward there was a gradual
annual decrease in our public debt, until
the year 1885, when 1t was all but wiped
out, amounting. in that year, to the
trifiing sum Of $37,513. In the succeeding
year 1t was only $336,957 and in 1887 1t
was but $3.3oS,124. For the succeeding
twenty -four years the public debt ranged,
annually, from $5,250,S75, in 1889, to $751;
71s. $50, in 1861. In 1862 it jumped to more
than half billion dollars, and. In 1853.
reached beyond the billion mark In 1864
it was 81, ,709, ,452,277, while in the succeed
ing year it touched the high water mark,
amounting dS65) to 1854, ,s15, 1856. Thence
onward there was steady annual de-
crease until 1893, when it had fallen to
$685. 964,476. During the succeeding four
years there was slight annual increase,
last year Qss7) the figure being $685.
656,os6. Roughly estimated these figures
approximate the supposed cost Of our

to be close upon $1,000, 900. .ooO-provided

A RICH ASSET

The output of gold in the Rand district
last month aggregated 100000, an in
crease Of $685. 900 over June and Of $1,000
over March. The July output Of a single
mine was $63, 900, of which $25, 200 was di-
vided among the stockholders. In the
previous month SO. 900 was thus distrib-
uted. A mill run of the ore Of another
mine gave values Of $20S to the ton,, that
Of another Of $115.
These are astounding facts. and their
authenticity is vouched for by The Her
AIDS resident correspondent at Rands-
burg.
The average grade Of the gold ore Of
the Rand district is South Africa does
not exceed Sc. and yet the Kaff1r stocks
have set the mining world afire. The av-
pie Creek district in Colorado is scarcely
more than $12. But it is not the high
grade ore Of Southern Californias Rand
that gives greatest promise of perman-
ency to that camp, but rather its known
resources Of low grade stuff that can be
easily and cheaply handled by the cyan
ide process or concentrated for shipment
to mills elsewhere. There are dozens
Of mines In the camp" says our author
ity, whose products run from 81 to $12. "
That Is enough Of itself to insure a stead
lily increasing output that will in few
years run into the millions.
The facilities for treating the ore OF
the district are now said to be ample. The
water supply is abundant for the stamp
mills, and the advantages Of the cyanide
process are coming to be recognized.
A million dollars Of new wealth created
In a year is a far different proposition

ues of the state. 1t gives employment te
many men. and is building up cities oi
fair proportions within the borders OF

the Rand district is rich asset Of South.
ern California and one that gives great
promise Of future gratifying perform.
ance. 1t is an industry deserving OF
every encouragement. The fact that the
shares of the producing mines are closely
held by their owners and that the LEADING
properties are worked for what is in
them. instead Of being exploited on the
mining exchanges. is another encourag.
ing circumstance. Randsburg and 10.
hannesburg have a future and Los An
