COTTON IN AFRICA.
A pritishsr who Thinks That Eng-
 land VIII Supply Cotton.

New York Journal of Commerce.
 Sir Alfred Jones, president of the Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool, has been devoting much attention and effort to the question of increasing the cotton supply from other sources than the Unit cd States, and he is taking 8 very confi- dent view of the results. He was lately quoted as saying that about ten years ago America produced 100000 bales of cotton and Great Britain took half Of it. and that now 11,00O, 900 bales are produced while the amount taken in England is no larger than before. This has start led" him, and shows him that it is tab solutely necessary we should stir our- selves and make some effort to provide a supply from other sources" for he is convinced that America will soon need all the. cotton she grows''
 He has taken an active part in pro- noting the movement for producing the staple not only in the British West In- dies, but fin Africa, and the returns ai- ready obtained are such as to assure him of success. "The possibilities of Af- rica as a cotton producing country he says, "cannot well be overestimafed.' 's There are vast tracts of land suitable for the purpose and millions of people idle who could be employed in cotton growing and he believes "the scheme t0 be one of the greatest movements ever start ed.' Finally, he declares, America may yet have to look to West Africa for iier cotton supply. becallse I believe cotton will be produced mofe cheaply in West Africa than in the United Statee."

The Telephone on Farms.

Southern Farm Magazine.
 Farmers are getting rural free delivers with its opportunities for saving time ana money In shopping; in the more thickly settled portions of the country they have rapid transit by trolley lines. and in some parts. notably in the West, they enjoy the advantages in business and farm ops erations of extensive telephone systems
 Tar removed from the daily paper, with It's weather forecasts, the farmer cafy keep informed by phone of probabilities. and thus escape loss in crop time. When he himself is away from home the mem. bers of his family hays telephone as hand, giving them the means of quick communication with neighbour. as great a protection against providers as is the pos session of shotgun or a revolver. The telephone on the farm is a cultivator of neighboFliness, e saver of time and trouble and protector of the home.

NATURES OWN CURE.
HyOmei Cures Catarrh Without Dam gsrOus Drugging of the Stomach.

Not until Hyomei was discovered has 1t been possible to truthfully say that remedy for catarrh was known
 This. remedy is breathed through tho Hyomei inhaler for a few minutes four times day. and during that time every particle of air taken into the air passages and lungs is imbregnated with the germ killing and health giving Hyomei It is the only treatment that cures catarrh.
 Stomach drugEing often causes disoF- dered digestion or brings on some other diseases and never makes a permanent cure of eatarrlI. Hyomei not only kill the germs in the throat and nose but penetrates to the minutest air cells in the lungs and enters the blood with the o<y- gen. It frees the mucous membra1e from poisonous microbes and gives perfect health.
 A complete outfit costs but si.o0. and includes an inhaler. dropper and sufii- vient Hyomei for several weeks treat- ment.
 E. G. Fowler has so much faith in the merit of Hyomei that he agrees 10 return the money to any purchaser who may be dissatisfied. t0-tu-shu-snn.

SECRET OF LIVING IoNa.
A Swiss Believes in the Abstinencs of Salt and Water.

London Mail. .SF z t.a
 A curious-iooking man of strange hab- it's, and with mission that Is even stranger, has just arrived in London from Ascona on Lake Maggiore, Switz- erland. He has taken up his residence in the vicinity of Colney Hatch Lane. N, and he believes that fin abstinence from salt and waAr lies the secret of long life 7
 Herr Joseph saIomonson. the gentle man in question. wanders about the North London highways wearing cas- sock of brown corduroy encircled at the waist by a girdle. His long brown. wispy hair, unincumbered by hat, hides his coilarless neck, and @ ragged.edged beard droops over the open part of his gown. His feet are incased in sandals, and at times he carries a stan that reaches to his shoulders. Altogether his appearance Is reminiscent of figures in scriptural illustrations.
 Herr Salomonson's object is to try in induce London's 6,ooo.o0o inhabitants to refrain from eating salt and drinking He himself, so he asserts. has not taken any kind of liquid since Sept. 1, 1901, and he has eschewed salt for a longer period.
 At Ascona he has established a colony of devoted disciples, male and female, who do likewise. Moreover, they work in state of primitive absence of attire. separated by wooden partitions. and when the weather permits, they even sleep in this state on the bare ground. Herr Saiomonson appreciates the difficult ty of this part of his program being car ried out in London. But" he explained yesterday. "there are plenty of suitable sites within an hours railway journey from the city,
 He saw no reason, however. why Lon- don should not at once abandon the eat ing of salt and the drinking of liquids.
 Salt" he averred, Ifs the beginning of all evil. It Is ruinous to the body, dam aging to the soul, and destructive of the intellect. Water or any other form of liquid is a mere burden to the stomach and has no value at all"
 In short, Herr Salomonson, who is a man of considerable intelligence, believes that if people followed His example there would be no sickness. During the twenty six months that no drop has passed hls lips he has lost in weight sixty-two pounds, but feels many years younger and much stronger.
 There is not a sound man in the world" he declared, "and yet people who eat salt and drink water live to be as old as ninety or even a hundred. When we live a natural life see no reason why we should not attain to 200 or 250 years. believe in the ages mentioned in the Bible, and I believe we should live as long in these days if We lived on the lines intended for humanity. That is my mission here."

jured, some fatally, at 1920 O'Clock
yesterday morning. by collision be-
tween a special passenger train on the
Big -Four railroad and freight en-
gine with load of coal cars. The ac-
cident happened on the edge of the
city. The passenger train of twelve
coaches was carrying 954 persons.
nearly all of whom were students of
Purdue university and their friends
from Lafayette to Indianapolis for the
annual football game between the Pur-
due team and the Indiana university
squad for the state championship.
which was to have been fought yester-
day afternoon. In the first coach back

ball team, substitute players and man
ayers.
Three players, the assistant coach.
trainer and seven substitute players of
the university were killed and every
one of the fifty-three other persons
in the car were either fatally or seri-
ously injured.
Rounding a curve at the Eighteenth
street cut. Engineer w. II. Schumacher
found directly in front of him the
freight engine and coal cars moving
slowly from switch leading to grav-
ell pit. He reversed his engine and
jumped.
The crash hurled the passenger en-
gine and three front coaches. against
the steel freight cars loaded with coal,
that plowed their way through and
buried under pile of wreckage weigh
ing many tons fully sixty human be-
ings.
The first car, in which were the play
ers, was completely demolished, the
roof being torn away and falling across
a car of coal. while the body of the car
was reduced to kindling woord against
the side of the steel freight car. The
second coach. containing a brass band
was partly telescoped and the third
coach was overturned and hurled down
a fifteen-foot embankment. The other
coaches did not leave the track.
