A Wilkesbarre physician, testifying

Of the men who work in the coal mines

thus decreasing their earning powers.
The word "anaemic" rs q medical term
used to describe a condition In which
the blood is deficient In quality, giving
the victim a pallid look, dull eyes and

That ninety-nine Of every one hun.

but fact Of much deeper concern is
that the conditions that promote this
disease exist in shops and factories In
almost every city throughout the

MEXICO ON A

American Capital TO Seek En-
ployment In the Great Republic.

New York. Dec. 6-The determlna-
ton Of the Mexican government to es-
tablish that country on financial ba-
sis similar to that adopted by Japan,
which went from silver to gold ba-
sis some Ave years ago, has been wei
come news in financial and industrial
circles. When Mexico carries out this
program the value of the Mexican sill
yer dollar will be fixed at fifty cents.
This will put an end to the wide huc-
tuations IN the value of money which
have proved so serious in the business
relations of Mexico with other coun-
tries. 1t is a well known fact that one
! Of the most prominent banking houses
in this city, having international rela.
tions with Mexico, is now arranging to
secure the gold required by the Mexi-
can government to make the basis for
its circulating medium.
In this city, where so many Mexican
enterprises have Offices, the officials In
charge say that the Mexican govern
ment will, by establishing values on a
gold basis, stop the wide fluctuations
which have done much to embsrrass
the commercial development OF Mex.
leo. The announcement OF n change to
a gold basis will be immediately fol.
lowed by the influx OF capital from the
states, and enterprises will be at once
undertaken which will rapidly promote
the prosperity OF the Mexican Repub-
lie, No better pulse OF the satun ton
exists than the Mexican Central Rail
way Company, which traverses the
great republic from El Paso, on the
Texas line, to the CITY OF Mexico; and
from Tampico. on the Gulf of Mexico,

great road with its many feeders is
the great trunk line Of Mexico, and

The history of past Investigations
In the Police department Is such that
the public pulse is never affected very
much by an announcement that
another investigs ton Is on. In a
number Of insta noes the Investigations
have been little more than formalities
conducted merely with view to COM
plying with the law and giving the
people TO understand that careful
eye is kept on the doIngs Of the depart
ment. In such cases they have meant
nothing, except the throwing of dust
into the eyes of tho people. But as this
is the second recent attempt to dis
miss Mr. Washer as the result Of an
Investigation, II is time for the peo-
pie to Wow the matter seriously and
impartlnlig. Ia MIR. Washer the only
member of the department that re-
quirOs Investigation? II he has neg.
lected to discharge mis- duties properly,
the public, Of course, will approve the
investiga tion-but all this remains to
be seen. The charge against him IL
that he has neglected to discharge his
duty. Every officer in the department
is sworn to enforce every law laid
down by the State and City. II they
are not doing 1t, they are just as liable
TO charges OF neglect Of duty as Mr.
