Colorado Fruit Grower Says He Has Pro-

Experimenting.
Glenwood Springs, Colo, March II.
- After experimenting seven years
John +. Spencer, Of this place reports
that he has succeeded in obtaining
a perfect seedless apple. He proceed
ed along the lines similar to those
adopted by the orange growers to OBJ
tain what is regarded as a ~mOnstrosity
in nature, but a monstrosity which, he
says, has SO many advantages over
the sO-called natural product that it
will supplant seed apples in the mar
kets of the world.
AS soon as Spencer gets his seed

apples in the market, the boy who asks
for. the core" of one and hears that
there amt goin' to be no CORE" will

AS TO SAVING AND EXPENSE

Sure of the Former for Both Parties; Lat
ter Matter Of Doubt.
II am of the opinion that this or
der will save the government a good
deal of money. OF the 100000 exam
nations in the last year, if one-fourth
Of them were saved 1t would make
100000. and perhaps an equal amount
in time and transportation to the old
soldiers who would have to go and be
examined.
81 am not able to say what expense
the bill would entail in the shape of
additional payments. The expense to
which it will augment the necessity
for further appropriation cannot be
told There is a great unknown army
that has never applied for pensions.
1t is not known whether they would
or whether they intend to. It win
without doubt increase the payments
to some extent. but no one is able to
fix the amount. The bureau has not
considered that as the proper element
OF consideration. What the bureau has
considered has been whether OF not
1t was the right and just and proper
thing to de. leaving results to take
care o. themselves.
II doAnot think. however. that the In
creased expense in the long run will
be very noticeable. because the, death
rate is always to be considered, and
there is also to be considered the fact
that the ones TO whom we give the
pension without proof other tina heil
ages would have proven themselves
anyhow. under former circumstances
as entitled to the pension by reason
Of their disabilities"

BASED ON MEXICAN WAR PENSION
Disabilities of Old Age Set in at the Age of
90 Years.

The act of congress which was
passed in the latter part of January,
1887, and approved by President Cleve-
Land, put all the Mexican war veter-
ans on the pension roll thirty-nine
years exactly after the end of the
Mexican war. 1t would seem that
If thirty-nine years after the expira-
ton of service a Mexican war SOL
der vas entitled to a pension at CO
years. and no other requisite for draw
ing a pension should exist except age.
to soldiers of the civil war, who fought
vastly more and longer. at least as
good a rule ought to apply. The Mex
lean war limit of 62 years was prob
ably brought about by the weIl-known
army limit of % years at which Off
GERS are retired.
There seems to be a general con-
sensus of opinion that at 90 years
the disabilities of old age have set In.
The order could not have been issued
earlier, because it is only now that
the thirty-nine years fixed by the con-
g~ressional limit has been reached. The
civil war ended April 13, 1865, and
in enlistments in the loyal states those
who enlisted after that time are held
to have no pensionable service dur
ing the war of the rebellion. Hence
the thirty-nine years would expire on
the 18th of next month. and it is very
proper that the order should be issued
fixing the 62-year limit as the mini
mum age limit, and the Biblical three
score and ten as the ma ximum.
There is an advantage and saving
to the government in the use Of this
order, because every old soldier who
has reached the age of 81 years Is
able to prove almost without POSSIBLE
ty of doubt that he is one-half disa-
bled from earning his support by man
ual labor. This being so 1t seems
unwise 10 put a soldier to the expense
Of time and transportation to 20 to
a place where a medical board can
examine him to find that fact out; and
on the other hand. II seems unneces-
sar for the government t o keep boards
established and then pay Sc for the ex-
animation of a soldier when the result
OF the examination can be so accurate
ly foretold.

WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the hrSt tnOugnt
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
