used everything recommended, but
without results. called in three doc

her, but she continued to grow worse.
Her body was mass of sores, and her
little face was eaten away, her ears
looked as If they would drop off.
Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, and before k.had
used half of the cake of soap ard
box of ointment the sores had all
healed, and my little ones face and
body was as clear as newborn babes.

Our progressive druggist, Bryan
Hopper. in speaking OF the so called
cures for the many diseases of hu-
manity, has occasion to speak of
"Zemo," positive cure for Eczema
and all skin diseases. The manu-
facturer OF "Zeme," Mr.. f. w. Rose,
of Harrisburg, ILL.,, gave six hard
years study toward the perfecting
of "Zemo." Many persons in Saline
county, of which Harrisburg is the
comfy seat, were invited to use Mr..
Roses remedy and in number Of
cases of from IL to 10 years stand
ing complete cure was the result.
Mr.. Hopper Gays that after being
shown positive proof that 'Zemo"
will and does cure the most severe
and long standing cases that he was
glad to offer to his patrons the only
remedy that he believes will abso-
lutely give permanent cure. In a
few days "Zemo" will be received
and he will display in his windows
some photographs of some of the
cures made. Mr.. Rose has written
strong booklet on the treatment of
Eczema aud skin diseases and he
will take pleasure in giving copy
to those who call. It's his desire to
have every sufferer from chrome,
long standing cases of Eczema and
skin diseases call and see him, when
on the authority Of Mr.. Rose, he will
give them a legal guarantee that
'Zemo" will cure any case of skin
or scalp disease, no matter from
what cause or for how long stand
ing. "Zemo" is nice clean liquid
for external use and during treat
ment there Is no cause for loss OF
time from business. Mr.. Rose is so
much in earnest and is so honest in
his statements he says he does not
want dollar of the peoples money
when a cure is not effected.

The Course ;, the Mining Industries
During 1905.

DR.. David II. Day, Of the United
States Geological Survey, W h o
brings out each year volume en-
titled Mineral Resources of the
United States" is authority for the
statement that the general prosper
ity of the year 1905, due to good
crops. excellent foreign trade, and
business confidence, was emphat-
ically expressed in the greatest pro-
duction of mIneralt ever known in
the history of our country. Good
crops stimulated the railroads to in
crease h Ell rolling stock. The
direct consequence Of that was q
heavy demand on the IRON and steel
trades, which in turn extended the
expansion movement to coal and
coke.
The preliminary estimate made
by the Director Of the Mint of the
production of gold and silver in the
United States during the calendar
year 1906 shows a gain of approx
mately $4,000, 600 in gold and l,0OO,-
600 ounces of silver over the output
of 1904. The gain in gold is repre-
sented almost entirely by the in
creased output of Alaska, which is
placed at 1850, 100 as against So
l6O, 500 in 1904. The Llaskian gain is
nearly all in the Tanana or 0Fair-
banks district, the returns for which
are SO, ,lO7 900. California shows a
loss in gold production of about ST.
500 900, due to prolonged drought,
which not only brought hydraulic
operations to standstill but inter
fered, to some extent with quartz
mills. Nevada shows a gain of
about $4OO, 900, and Utah an equal
increase. Colorado's gains amounted
to about $1,OO0,0OO.
The i'll wind of war and revolution
which brought disaster to the Rus
sian petroleum industry carried
prosperity to the productive oil
areas Of the United States. To sup
ply the increased demand from
/ abroad, which resulted from Rus
sia's deficit, strained the petroleum
resources of this country to their
utmost.
The demand for copper during 1905
was intense and prices were high,
This demand for copper affected
other metals sympathetically, es-
pecially aluminium, which floats on
the copper market as a substitute
for copper conductors and is more
or less sought, according to the
price of copper.
