Prof. John Milne says that upon
knowledge derived from the scientific
study of earthquakes new rules and
formulae for engineers and builders
have been established. and these prin-
ciples have been widely applied in
Japan and other countries, thereby
minimizing the loss of life and prop
erty. Such studies have also been OF
practical use in the working of rail-
ways, especially In Japan, by local
izing faults in the rocks and suggest
ing alterations in the balancing OF

gained relates to ocean cables. as it
has become possible to indicate parts
of the sea-bottom that should be

Rheumatism in Utah..

Frisco, Utah, May 2nd.-There is a
great deal of Rheumatism in this and
neighboring states, and this painful
disease has crippled many strong
man and woman among an otherwise
healthy people.
Recently, however. there has been
introduced into Utah remedy for
Rheumatism which bids fair to stamp
out this awfully painful complaint.
The name of this new remedy is
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and it has al
ready wrought some wonderful cures.
Right here in Frisco there is a case
OF a Mr. Grace who had Rheumatism
so bad in his feet that he could hardly
walk. He tried many remedies in
vain, but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured
him.
His wife says: I'VE both had Kid
ney Trouble, and my husband had the
Rheumatism so bad that he could
hardly walk. We used Dodd's Kid
ney Pills with much benefit. We have
tried many remedies, but none have
done us SO much good as Dodd's Kid
ney Pills"
Similar reports come from all over
the state, and it would seem as il
Rheumatism had at last been con-
Quered.

MINERALS ESSENTIAL TO LIFE
important Role Played by so-caIIed
Inorganic Substances.

That the minute traces OF metallic
substances found In living bodies are
not accidental. but essential to the
performance Of the functions of life,
is asserted by Herrera, French BIZ
ologist. He goes so far as to say
that Zoology and botany are but
chapters of mineralogy, so important
is the role played In organic life by
these so-called inorganic substances.
For instance, all the phenomena of
movement In an animal are, he as
serts, due to oxidation. AS to nutri-
ton, 1t Is impossible, he says, when
the food IL deprived of its mineral
elements. Dogs fed on substances
from which the salt and other inor-
ganic matter has been carefully re-
moved die Of starvation. At the bot
tom Of our vital processes, asserts this
writer, are fermentation and oxida
ton, or their analogues; and these de-
pend on the presence Of certain min
eral bodies in the tissues. Even the
role of pepsin in digestion seems to
depend on the presence Of iron. In
short, the organic substances on
which life depends are, he says, pre-
pared in Inorganic workshops with
mineral reagents; and thus living
being is practically a member of the
mineral kingdom Success.
