The United States far surpasses ev-
cry other country in the production OF
copper, and consequently is less vital
ly interested in the discovery OF new
foreign sources of supply than are
some of the European nations. They
have about doubled their consump-
ton since the great development OF
the electrical industries began, and
have been a little anxious because,
meanwhile, the worlds total produc-
ton has increased only a little over
one-third. At last accounts, Russia
was doing her best to develop her cop

For Two Years Too Weak owork-A Dozen
Doctors Had Tried to Check Disease.
Treatment That Succeeded.
All sufferers from weakness or disor-
ders of the digestive organs will read
with lively interest the story of the com-
plete recovery of Mrs. Nettlie Darvoux
from chronic dyspepsia which was
thought to be incurable.
"To be ailing for nine years is not a
very pleasant experience" said Mrs.
Darvoux, when asked for some account
of her illness. "For two years ! was
critically i'll and could not attend to my
household duties, and at one time I was
so weak and miserable that I could not
even walk. My trouble was chronic dys-
pepsia. I became extremely thin and
had a sallow complexion. I had no APP
petite and could not take any food with
out suffering great distress"
"Did you have a physician?"
Eyes, I took medicine from a dozen
different doctors, but without getting
any benefit whatever"
Elbow did you get OIL the track of a
cure?"
ga book about DR.. WILLIAMSBURG Pills
was thrown i'll our doorway one day.
My husband picked it up and read it
through carefully. He was so impressed
by the statements Of those who had been
cured by that remedy that he imme-
diately bought three boxes of the pills
and insisted on my taking them"
"Did they help you at once?"
81 began to feel better the second DAY
after I started to use the pills and by the
time I had taken the three boxes I was
entirely well. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
can cure even when doctors fail, and
they ure thoroughly, for a long time
has passed since my restoration to health
and / know it is complete and lasting.'s
The surest way to make sound diges-
ton is to give strength to the organs con-
cerded. DR.. Williams Pink Pills give
new vigor to the blood. No other rem
edy yields such radical results.
Mrs. Darvoux lives at No. 497 Sixth
street, Detroit, Mich. DR.. Williams

every part of the world. D~yspeptics

Prof. Jacques Loeb, Of the Univer-
sity of California, has made a new dis
coyery in his experiments in produc.
ing life artlficially in sea urchins
which is of the greatest importance
to students of heredity. In fertilizing
the eggs of sea urchins he discovered
hat in natural fertilization the eggs
developed a peculiar membrane which
he could secure by means of chem
;cals. Finally he found that by use OF
common vinegar and salt ne could
produce a membrane, and that the
eggs foated on the surface OF the
water exactly as they do in nature.

The population of England and
Wales is about $4,000, 600, showing
that there was one petition for disse'
luton of marriage in some form filed
in the courts in 1902 for about each
1880 population. Experimental, or
trial marriages, seemingly are not en-
couraged by the ease of securing di-
vorce. The sentiment of the people,
sustained by the courts, is clearly
against divorces or the divorced.

ENTHUSIASTIC OVER WYOMING
$. II. Hardin, a Leading Resident of
the state. Sings Praises of Its
Past and Future.

S. II. Hardin of Manchester Wyo., for
mer member of the Wyoming legislature
and one of the leading ranch and cattlemen
of northern Wyoming, is in the city. Asked
regarding Wyoming prospects, he said:
The state is in a flourishing condition
and all lines of business are thriving fairly
we'll What we most need regarding wy
oming now is an intelligent comprehension
of the vast capabilities of the state in
every line, agricultural and mineral. wy
oming does not need any special advertis-
ing in the boom sense. Its material
resources speak for themselves and their
development will come in time to be the
establishment of the world. Wyoming, too,
is an historic land. for from the southern
sections of what is now the state has
radiated the civilization and development
of this great central western region. Old
Fort Laramie, now but memory, still
exists in name merely as a cattle ranch
but around the name of that old fort is
clustered the history OF a new empire. 1t
was the one great landmark of the overland
trail. Through it passed the men who
made and founded Oregon and who gave
California to the world. The scenic beau
ties of Wyoming are incompatible and I'M
equaled. In brief, throughout all OF
Wyoming there is much to see, to learn
and to esteem for its great past and the
inevitable grandeur of its future"

Many a man sees his wife bend and

displaced, there are facilitating, disagree
