STRAWBERRIES AS A CURE.
Contrary to Tradition the Fruit Is
Said to Be Emcacious in
Rheumatism.

That Strawberries are injurious to
rheumatic persons is as old q tradition
as that tomatoes Oove apples) are con-
ducive to love. But against science no
tradition is safe. II Is now asserted that
the strawberry il the real thing In
food for rheumatics. Llnnaeus, It IL
said, kept himself free from rheumatism
by eating strawberries. Fontenelli, an
other naturalist, attributed his longev-
ity to strawberries. He resorted to them
a. medicine and would frequently say:

Borheave is said to have classed the
strawberry with the principal red fruit
remedies containing iron as we'll as phos-
phorus, salt, sulphur and sugar.
II has long been q tradition that the
chief demand for horse chestnuts has
come from persons who believe in their
emcacy as q cure for rheumatism, or at
least palliative in rheumatic affections.

now claimed for them, or indeed any Of

1HE PROHIBITION POLICY.
But . single BreaR In Thirty Years
In the Record Of Stand

and standing together" Whatever
concessions TO expetsency other parties
may have made BY the nomination Of
candidates Belonging TO other organi-
aatiOns, the Drohibitlonists have con-
sistentfy since 1872 nominated only
members Of their own party, entirely
regardless Of the vote which they could
poll.
The single break IN this record of
consistent nomination Of candidates
foredoomed to defeAE was IN New York
In 1907, when. under unusual eircum-
stances, the .prohibitionists for the
irst time put an opponent on their
state ticket, nominating John Cunneen
for attorney general. He was the
democratic candidate for that once.
and the prohibition vote Of New York
in the election. which was 10000, was
sufficient to secure the success Of Mr..
Cunneen and thus break the prohibit
ton record.
In the next year, 1903, there was no
state election. and in 1904 the prohi-
bItionists resumed their former policy
Of nominating only their own candi-
dates and had q nominee Of their own
for. attorney general against Mr.. Cum
neen. whom they had supported at the
previous election.
This prohibition candidate, Mill

Edwards Predicts Wondrous
Discoveries in. Region
Beyond the BaIlfrog Camp
GOLDEN ORES. ABOUND
Riches Of New Country Are
Indicated by. What Has
Already Been .Unearthed

Thomas F. Edwards of. qBullfrog, Nev4e
declared yesterday that in his opinion the
mineral wealth of the newly discovered
mineral regions of that State has only
been guessed at as yet. For more than
thirty-five miles from Tonopah. he said,
the formation that has been discovered
to carry gold in such large quantities at
Tonopah, Goldfield, Bullfrog and ad-
jacent camps has been traced on the
surface. There is no reason, in Mr. Ed
wards view of it, why the same forma--
ton. shall not be found to: exist in a very
large area. - Countless millions in the
glowing expectation Of Mr.. Edwards, re-
main to be. discovered in the same gerf7
eral section of country in the next few
years.
II have been in mining camps all9 my
life." said Mr.. Edwards yesterday.
"Since l was boy l have not been9 out
of mining camps more than six months
at any one time. Naturally l have be-.
come familiar with mining and with
mineral indications. I may say that T.
grub staked' Montgomery, who discover
ed the Montgomery -Shoshone mine at
Bullfrog. The discovery Of the deposit
of gold was accidental. Indeed about all
theS discoveries of the precious metal IN
that section of Nevada may be said CO.
have been accidental. But now we know
the2 country and Judge reasonably from
all the surface indications and the gen.
eral lay of the. land that vast treasures
remain to be unearthed in the near fu-
0ture.' %
MIR. Edwards says that Bullfrog, not
yet year old, has already a good water
system, and another pipe line te bring
in swater will soon be constructed. In
Bullfrog and the camps about 1T there
are 5000 people. This population has all
come in in less than a year. Edwards is
the typical miner, tail. athletic, SUM
Drowned, good-natured, but with the look
of quiet determination In his eyes that
is common to men who pioneer in new
