another Pacific coast city, Los Angeles,

New Haven is next with 900. and then
comes the borough of Manhattan with

whole Is well down the list with ratio
of only 1876. This is less than Roches-

President Schurman of Cornell university continues to take q gloomy view of the future of this country. The other day he told the members of the gradu ating class that they leave the university at a time of profound unrest-political, social and re- ligious. And he asked: "Is the republic to remain a democratic under which men with equal rights govern them selves, or is it to becomea tyran- nical organization under which special interests like capital, la bor, or the military spirit are to control the destinies of men?" After the election the profound unrest will become less profound and the people will know what to expect for four years more. i.

A RetraCtiOn.

In the May number of the Ladies Home Journal we published in the ar ticle entitled "The Patent-Medicine Cnrse," an analysis of "Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription" in which that preparation was represented as con- taining, among other ingredients, tine ture of digitalis, tincture of opium, and alcohol. Immediately upon publication of the number a suit for damages was instituted by the k. V. Pierce Medical Company, of Buffalo, New York, prop rietors of the preparation in question against The Curtis Publishing Com pany, based upon the claim that none of the three ingredients was contained in the medicine.
 Upon the filing of the suit, we, of course, immediately looked into the published analysis. It appears that this particular analysis had been made, if made at all, fully twenty-five years ago. We thereupon employed three leading chemists in the different cities to make an analysis of the pre- paration from bottles bought in the open market. These analyses, one and all, now show to us conclusively that not single one of the ingredients mentioned by us in the analysis quoted that is, either digitalis, opium or al- cohOl, were contained in the bottles analyzed. We then-the President of this Company and the writer-persOn- ally visited the It. V. Pierce Medical Company, at Buffalo, and were con- vinced that the officers of the company were absolutely truthful in their claim that not one of these injurious in gradients was contained in "Dr. Perce's FavOrite Prescription. Nat urally, since the analysis we printed has been proved erroneous, the deduc- tions made in connection with this pre- paration were unwarranted and un- founded.
 Under these circumstances it is now perfectly plain to us sthat this magazine was unintentionally, but nevertheless absolutely misled in making the ori ginal statement, and we hereby, of our own volition, make this unqualified acknowledgement of our mistake to the R. V. Pierce Medical Company and to our readers.
 The mistake was honestly made. but it was mistake - Ladies' Home Journal.

In the first place. If your digestion is faulty, and the food you eat is not taken up by the blood and assi1n- Hated properly, you need tonic and diges tive corrcCtor, something that will increase the red blood corpuscies; he believes i'll going about this in nature g own way. Years ago, in his active practice, he found that an alteTative extract of certain herbs and roots, put up without the use of alec hol, would put the liver, lungs and heart into fuller and more complete action. This medicine he called Dr. PicTce's Golden Medical Discovery. By assimilating the food eaten, it nourishes the blood, and, i:l- stead of the ill-shaped corpuscles, the per sons blood takes on rich red color and the cOTpusCles are more nearly round.

Hottest Spot On Earth.


 Death Valley, in Southern California, is usually referred to as the hottest spot on earth, but it isn't quite that, Ralph Erling tells me, says writer in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. This rather unpleasant distinction be- longs to a portion of the shore of the Persian gulf at and in the vicinity of Bahrin.
 Statistics prove that the mean annual temperature of the Persian gulf furnace is eleven degrees higher than that of Death Valley, and the aridness of both places is about on a par, though 1 am inclined to believe, if my recollection of the records is not blunted, that q little brack- iSh water has been found in a few isolated springs on the aka Ii surface of Death Valley, whereas there is no water at all to be found on the shore of the gulf anywhere within radius of nearly 200 miles.
 "Yet, while Death Valley is inhabited by practically none, and permanent life there is deemed well nigh impossible, Bahrin has a population of sev- eral thousand people, and has had an existence as a village for many centuries. Of course the people are stunted mentally and to a slightly less extent physic- ally, a fact. due to the fearful condition under which they live; but they do live there, and are probably the nearest approach to salamanders in the human family. What do they do for water and food? Why, the form CT is brought to them in boats and sold in exchange for the fer tilizer they dig from the desert, and the latter they have in very good abundance near them. You thought Isaidthere was no water within several hundred. miles of the place? Well, so | did-on the land-but there are a num- Der of fresh water springs in the bed of the saline gulf within d few hundred yards of the shore.
 {" It is probably the only place on earth where fresh drinking water is secured from a salty sea. The water gushes up in considerable volume from these springs and is secured by divers. The gulf is only about thirty feet deep at this point. The div CTS plunge to the bottom with empty gOatSkins and place the orftice of the skin bag directly over the mouth of the spring. It fills in a few seconds and the diver closes the oriice and is pulled back to the boat by a rope. That is the way the water supply for the community on shore is procured. The springs are sup posed to be due to underground streams which have their origin in the green hills of O3man, over 800 miles inland"
