Sea Water Cure.

Two eminent French experimenters,
says the Grand Magazine, assure us
that sea water will cure or at least al
leviate many cases of lunacy. The ex-
PLANTATION is: Man, like all other an
imals, descends from a marine an
cestor. To place the human organism
modified by disease in it's original sur
roundings should therefore prove ad-
vantageous to it." Starting from these
premises, the French doctors have Civ
en- simultaneous injections of sea wa.
ter to a number of insane persons,
with. they declare, the most beneficial
results.
A great number of other diseases
consumption, diabetes and stomach dis
Orders-have also been treated success
fully by internal doses of sea water
not only in France, but also in Sweden.
Bread has even been made with sea
water and Is strongly recommended by
those who have benefited by it, not for
its flavor, but for its effects.

IOWA REPUBLICANS IN CONVENTION

DES MONIES, Ia, Aug. 1.-The Re-
publican state convention of Iowa met
here at half past ten o'clock this fore
noon and was called to order by Mr..
Spence, chairman of the state central
committee. Never before in the his
tory of the state has a republican
state convention attracted so much
general interest in the party and at
tracted such a host of politicians as
the present convention. This is due
to the bitter factional fight between
the "stand-patters" and the progress
sives'' which is being waged in this
state and which will reach it's culmi-
nation in today's convention
Fight on Governor.
The convention has been called to
nominate one candidate each for the
positions of governor, lieutenant gov
eronr, secretary of state, auditor of
state, attorney general, clerk of the
supreme court, superintendent of pub
lie instruction and reporter of the SUI
preme court and two candidates each
for judge of the supreme court and
railroad commissioner The principal
contest is, of course, over the nomina-
ton for governor. There are two cam

STEAMER NORMA ON THE Ways
Boat Found to Be Uninjured-New
Deck and CoaI-Burning Furnaces
Planned.

AINSWORTH, Wash, Aug. 1.-The
steamer Norma, reported to have suf-
fered injury while making the trip
over Pine Tree rapids, is on the ways
here, but an examination of the boats
hull finds the vessel hit lightly when
she ran onto the sands, and no dam
age was done.
While the vessel is on the ways a
new deck will be laid and coal-burn-
ing furnaces installed. The boat was
generally overhauled while on the
ways at Riparia and was launched
only last week. While passing Pine
Tree rapids, the. vessel was driven
high and dry on the sands, but she
was finally enabled to get off without
the aid of tugs and continued on her
way to the Columbia where she will
be used in conveying supplies to the
construction camps on the north bank
railroad.
The Norma is owned by Jacob
Kamm, but is under charter to the

1910 Delegates Present.
When the convention was called to
order this forenoon, 1910 delegates
were in attendance. After the usual
preliminaries the following temporary

BUSINESS CONDITIONS GOOD
Henry C|ews, Banker, Says There
Is Noticeable Improvement.
BANK RESERVES ARE IN fine SHAPE
FARMERS ASSURED OF GOOD
PRICE FOR SURPLUS GRAIN
THIS YEAR.
BANK RESERVES ARE IN FINE SHAPE

| Recent stock market liquidation ma
terially strengthened the banks, and
although loans remain at record
breaking figures this is due to the
tremendous expansion in both bust
ness and banking resources.
1t is gratifying to note that bank
reserves as a whole in the United
States are in reasonably good shape,
the percentage of legal reserve in the
central reserve cities being nearly
1886 per cent, which is higher than at
any time since last January A year
ago the percentage of reserves to liza
bilities was 1926 per cent Outside
of the reserve cities the percentage of
reserve was 25.42 per cent, compared
with 1929 per cent a year ago.
1t should also be taken into consd-
Grafton that the treasury is in a posi-
ton and willing to render the market
considerable aid in case of stringency
arising from it's operations. The issue
of $4,000, 900 of Panama canal bonds
will permit an increase of a cores
ponding amount in circulation by the
national banks. This, too, will afford
relief; so that the home monetary
outlook is much brighter than for sew
eral months. Another avenue of as
sistance which can be depended upon
is gold imports.
Check on Gold Takino.
The recent crisis in Russia and the
disposition of the Bank of England to
strengthen it's reserve placed a tenn
porary check opon gold takings last
week. This, however, is only temper
airy, since an increase in commercial
bills, which will soon freely be offered
in anticipation cf wheat, corn and cot
ton exports, will place us in a posi-
ton to demand gold in payment for
these exports. European crops are
running about 10 per cent below the
average, which means that the United
States is sure of a good demand for
its surplus grain at satisfactory
prices.
Business Conditions.
Henry Clews, president of one of
New York's biggest banking institu-
tons. takes an optimistic view of in
dustrial conditions in the United
States. Mr.. Clews in his weekly re-
view of commercial affairs. says:
1.-The improvement noticed in these
advices last week made further prog
ress. Monetary conditions are gradu-
ally righting themselves. Domestic
crop and business conditions continue
to indicate steady and most gratifying
Improvement while the Russian stu
alton, though critical. shows that the
government still retains the upper
hand. AS for the money situation,
self-cure is working out a satisfac-
tory solution and there is now much
less anxiety regarding the outlook"

There was a time when those who
had the privilege 0 Speaking from
the tribune of the Ateneo discussed
and treated those questions which
reflected the popular VIII and aspi-
rationS of the Portoricans, when the
orators assumed an attitude in ac-
cord with the collective sentiment
and the public justly felt that it could
praise utteranCeS and words that
were in complete harmony with their
most cherished ideals.
Have not things now taken ano-
ther course?
Then, men were not willing to fol-
low the caprices OF misguided per
sons who switched their attitude and
abandoned their posts.
Let us hope that the eminent &C
tors who have taken in their charge
the representation of the farcica1
performances now SO. frequent, will
soon tire Of their theatrical methods;
let us listen to the inspired periods
of the their admirable monologues.
let us applaud the grace of their po
SeS, the beauty Of their diction, the
elegance of their phrases and their
exquisite word-pa inting but let us
watch the hour, when tired and wea-
ry of the sterile and worthless Co
medy, convinced Of the barrenness
of their endeavors, they say to US
and to the people, with accents of
firm conviction and in tones of noble
and frank unselfiShneSS. soiq2

The Ateneo on Saturday evening
contributed its share to the farce OF
the present days.
Parliamentary meteors, hyperbo-
lical a1lurernen fattering topics
all these things which they have at
their disposal were used by our
incurable orators of the badly called
Insular politics.
The above occasion was not like a
previous one when the Ateneo CON
tributed to the splendor of a festival
frankly Portorican.
Things now have taken another .di-
rection as the eminent orator Mr.. de
Diego said with insuperable exacti-
tude.
Things have taken another direc-
ton, they have had to follow the
current.
The Ateneo has showed this con
clusively in its attitude on certain
public questions.
From the tribune of that society
has been intoned hymn, an inter
lnlnaDle eulOgy TO citizenship by our
parliamentary orators.
The discreet persons were over
come with iubilant satisfaction.
Things, truly, have taken another
direction and our Ateneo has follow
ed the current.
One recalls the phrase Of Fernan-
do the VII, when he said: Let eve
rything go, and l the first, by the
constitutional road.
And things at that time took that
road.
