Thus a criminals malady will often
AFFORD valuable clew to his identity.
"Blacksmiths are liable to paraly-
sis of the right side due to the shock
OF hammering with the sledge, and
they are also liable to weak eyes, due
to the glare of the forge.
Carpenters are liable to varicose
veins, because they stand 80 much,
and continuous saving tends to in
jure the artery that carries the blood
from the heart to the carpenters
right arm.
Bakers and miners, the one
through the white dust of -four and
the. other through the black dust of
coal, get weak lungs. Miners get
weak eyes, too, from working always
in the dark.
"Coopers get swollen knees from
pressing them against barrels. This.
though, is nothing like so bad
swelling as housemaids develop from
the kneeling that scrubbing entails.
india rubber workers are to be
pitied, for they suffer from headaches
and mental depression, due to the rub
Der fumes.
Painters are the most unfortunate
OF all. They get lead poisoning, a dis
ease that Is often fatal"

The predictions on the wheat crop
Of 1906 range from 700.0O0.000 to 740,.
100000 bushels. These are based on
acreage and on condition at the pres
ent time. when large part of the
crop Is harvested. In 1901 the crop
was 74S.000.000 bushels. This is the
only time that wheat has passed the
70O.000,000 mark. The yield for 1e06
is certain to be next to the largest
ever gathered. AS corn gives prom
ise to break all records in magnitude.

America which he visits will be com

the effects of his tour will be that
the foolish fear of United States po-

be that the trade relations between
that region and the United States
will be improved. Even Castro of
Venezuela. who has been threatening
to invade the United States, is begin

Accusing Tom Patterson OF labor
Ing for the interests of the masses
gives one the horse laugh. Tom
takes the yellow course in order to
feather his own nest. Patterson is
one of the wealthy men of Colorado.

Tom makes money It is immaterial

The great trouble with the Pueblo
