Gout Increasing.

doctors report that cases of govt are
becoming more numerous In this country
in proportion to population than in the
days of less widely diffused luxury" said
an old citizen.
"In simpler times, in the generations
of plain living and high thinking, few
Americans felt the twinges of this tor
menting malady. But the sufferers of to-
day have the consolation of knowing
that many famous statesman of the
old world has been a martyr to govt.
There was the great Earl of Chatham,
for instance who was swathed in fan
nels and was racked with pain as he
uttered one of the most impassioned ap-
peals in the British parliament" y

The Board of Trade.

The annual smoker of the Board of
Trade next Thursday night will bring to-
gether the leading merchants of Bir-
mingham and a number of short speech
es will be made on mercantile questions
and the needs of the city from both re-
tail and wholesale points of view. The
new officers of the board will be in
stalled and a working policy for the next
twelve months will be outlined.
The Board of Trade was organized
three years ago and in that time has
taken up many matters of general in
terest and not few of special interest
to the merchants Some of the discus
sions have borne fruit and as the board
is growing more compact IN its organiza-
ton and more direct in its methods, even
larger results may be expected In the
near future.

From the Mail and Express.

From the Mail and Express.
Washington, June 29.-After tomorrow,
and probably until next November, the
official address of the President of the
United States will be % Jackson place,
Washington.
For the first time in more than CEN
tury-for the first time, in fact, since the
days of President Washington-the Chief
Executive will work and eat and sleep,
when he is in the national capital, out
side the historic White House. His Of
fees and home will be in private resi-
dence throughout the process of restora-
ton of the old colonial mansion overlook
ing the Potomac, where all his predeces-
sors have lived and performed their du-
ties Even when the President is absent
from Washington, as 1t is his present
intention to be from the adjournment
of Congress until November, % Jackson
place will be the headquarters of the ex-
ecutive branch of the government of the
United States.
This temporary home of the President
is an ordinary dwelling house, built of
brick, with brownstone cornice and win
dow stills, having about its external ap-
pearance nothing to attract attention. It
faces Lafayette square, as does the now
dismantled White House, but at right an
gels. The center of this square, now all
EMPOWERED in summer foliage, is the old
statue of General Jackson, an absurd
piece of equestrian art, which is sustained
in position upon it's hind legs in an alb
solutely impossible position only by the
fact that the flowing tail of the bronco
horse is weighted with lead. On two
corners of this square are the truly artis-
tic memorial statues of Lafayette and
Rochambeau
Lafayette square occupies very large
block. Clear across its verdant expanse
directly facing the temporary house of
the President, is the residence of Senator
Hanna, formerly the home of Senator
Don Cameron of Pennsylvania. Next
door to that is theatre, built upon the
site of the house where James G. Blaine
died and where an accomplice of John
Wilkes Booth tried to assassinate Secre-
tary Seward.
1t has been absolutely necessary to
secure these temporary quarters for the
Presidents official quarters, because of
the repairs to the White House. That
residence looks as though a Western
Cyclone had swept through its ground
floor, and upstairs the view is little bet
ter. The East room, where many thou
sands of visitors have gazed upon the
portraits of General Washingto on, Mar
tina Washington and others, is wholly
dismantled. The beautiful screen of
stained glass, separating the inner corri-
dor from the entrance hall, has been
removed. The many portraits of Presi-
dents and their wives or relatives that
were hung upon the walls of that cor
ridor have been placed in storage.

cure good grazing through so great a
part of the year at so little cost.
No expensive buildings are needed,
and in every State in the South there
is an ample home market for all dairy
products. In region where choice
feed is easily grown, where buildings
are so inexpensive, where the local
markets are SO good, where the keep
ing OF stock is so necessary to the
continual fertility of the SOIL and
where there are no special obstacles
to the work, dairying, says Prof. Ira
cy, can be made profitable as a bust
ness, while the sales of milk or butter
from even few COWS may give vel
come addition to the income from any
farm"
Prof Tracy proceeds then to tell in
ample detail how this may be and has
been done, and our object is simply
to call attention to this bulletin, hop
Ing that every reader of the Age-Her-
aid will procure copy of it. 1t is

of Agriculture will send copy of 1t

dairying, not In Wisconsin, but in the
South Is told In It, Prof Tracy gives
in it the results of twenty years of
practical dairying in Mississippi.

From the Bessemer workman.

L
Since the primary seems practically
certainty, and the rush for the band
wagon has reached Montgomery, certain
significant paragraphs have appeared in
some papers advocating the so-called
Georgia plan.
1t should be remembered that the Geor-
gia plan provided that primary should
be held in each county, and then the
executive committee should select dele
gate to the state convention from the
supporters of the successful candidate"
In other words after a man wins In the
primary, the executive commtttee can de-
prive him of the fruits of his victory.
1t is also significant that the papers
advocating this and other round about
plans, are generally those who originally
opposed the primary, or II for the prima-
ry, were ardent supporters of the present
administration.
All concerned should take warning. The
politicians. that the people want a pri-
mary without frills or subterfuges; and
the people, that they are yet in danger
of losing the fruits of their victory.
A straight primary is what the people
want No compromises. and no substi-
tutes from Georgia or elsewhere will be
accepted. Those who think otherwise
should be warned in time. There will be
trouble for the committee or the candi-
date who countenances any attempt to
deceive the people by fake primary.

BERLIN BOERSE.
Extremely Dull Week and Many Sc
curities Were Not Quoted.

Berlin. June 29-The Boerse had an ex-
tremely dull week and many prominent
securities were not quoted for some days
because of the lack of transactions All
departments scored declines, especially
coal shares and irons, and machinery
shares were unusually heavy The pres
ent tendency Of spectators is to close
out engagements for the summer vaca-
ton. believing that no Improvement is
probable in the immediate future and
that the forthcoming yearly reports will
prove disappointing. Another disquiet-
ing factor is found in the latest reports
of the coal and iron industries The re-
cent Improvement in the coal situation,
seems to have been reversed. The. coal
mines not belonging to the syndicate are
increasing their competition with the syn
dictate, hence the stocks of coal of the
latter have again begun to accumulate at
the mines. The coal syndicate intends to-
increase the restriction of the coke out
put for the month of July to thirty-five
per cent. Reports published last week
represent the iron situation as weaken
ing; buyers are less inclined to give or
ders and are resisting prices which are
already too low for profitable work
Bank stocks were all lower last week
Notwithstanding number of bond and
stock fiotations from which good earnings
may be expected. The monthly settle
ment is passing off under much more IA
vorable rates for money than Is usual.
The Settlement for the end of June
has revealed larger engagements than
were anticipated. An installment of 49,
100000 marks worth of Shan Tung railroad
stocks will be offered for subscription

Washington, with its asphalt streets, is
the most trying this time of the year.

Nineteenth Century's Greatest Tasks

Recently many eminent Germans
were asked TO recall and to mention
the greatest achievements Of the last
century. and when the replies were all
in hand thew were classified and it
was then seen that there we're sixteen
great works In the century, as fol-
lows:
1.-The establishment of the German
empire
2. The proclamation of the rights OF
man.
8. The discoveryiof steam as mo-
tive power.
A. Applied electricity
S. The discovery oflnarcotics and of
antisepsia.
6. The PRONUNCIATION of the law of
conservation of energy
z. The work of Darwin.
8. The discovery of the modern sci
entiric method of Judging things, which
ds based on exact observation.
g. The discovery of the spectral an
alysis
TO- The discovery of'the x-rays.
II. Beethoven's ninth symphony.
~. The second part of Faust"
10. The convention at Geneva.
IA. The primary school and ,compul-
Hsory education.
Is. The movement in favor of wo-
mans rights.
16. The exploration of Africasby Eu-
iiropeans.
AS every one of the sixteensis far
preaching and deeply valuable it is
!lsimply impossible to place them in the
,order of their respective Importance.
All are important, all will live to point
ito the century as one of remarkable
imental activity and high achievement.
Much is expected from this century
5because it inherited the momentum
rand scientific spirit of it's predecessor,
lbut 1t will have to hump itself If it
lpresents at its ending a list of sixteen
works that outrank the sixteen cred
lifted to the dead century.
