they furnish a fruit that for luscious

The Source of Rubber.
The caucho, though a species of the
rubber. is different from that which is
found on the lower part of the rivers,
known as Para or Hevea, which is more
gregarious in habit, usually found in
groupes, enabling the gatherer to col
lect the milk at certain seasons. The
Brazilian gatherers pursue a method
which does not destroy the rubber tree.
The Peruvian native treats alike the
rubber and the caucho.

PRESS COMMENT.
Why MIR. Bell Won.

Mr.. Bell has every reason to be graft
fed over the handsome support he has
received, and he is to be congratulated
on the high character of his canvass. As
one Of the speakers expressed it in con-
vention, Mr.. Bell wonin spite of many of
the republican organization leaders, and
he owes his nomination principally to his
own effective work as campaign mana
ger aided at the outset by fe " Jealous
admirers and supporters, who insisted
that he could win in spite of the luke
warmness of those leaders in different
counties who stood ready up to a COM
paratively recent date to throw their
support to DeBoer. In the midst of DO
litical rivalries among leaders which go so
far to shape political contests Mr.. Bell
made himself the logical candidate and a
man who can thus cope with many tried
leaders and force them to support him,
while refusing to enter combinations
himself, can be trusted to make an effect

people at the polls. Mr.. Bell won be-

will be surprised by the majority he will

confined to my bed. I made occasional
attempts to work, but could only man
age to put in two or three days out Of a
week at the very best. Several times
was actually at the point Of death.
"I had good physician but he could
not succeed in getting me out OF my
weak state. It was hard for me to re-
tain any food and my weight dropped
down to seventy-fve pounds. I had
great deal of dizziness and suffocating
spells. One Of my legs was swollen SO

would just try them. Before got
through the first box I said to MY mother:
Why, these pills are certainly doing me
good. We both grew hopeful and I
kept on taking them steadily for six or
seven months and then occasionally for
some time longer, and all the time my
troubles kept lessening until at last they
were gone altogether. got rid of indi-

up thirty two pounds.
