EQUITY DISEASES.

If DR.. Cesare Ballabene is correct,
two non-fatal diseases that have been
regarded as intractable, can be cured
They are rheumatism and neuralgia
The former affects the blood, causing
great suffering in muscle and joint; the
latter affects the nerve tissue, being
equally a producer of intense pains
Dr. Ballabene, until lately d staff cap
tain in the Italian army, recently read
a paper before the London Therapeutic
cal society dealing with a new remedy
for the diseases mentioned and all
equity affections. He is quoted as fol-
lows in the London Mail:
Acting on the supposition that rbeuma-
tism was due to an infectious element or
poison in the blood produced by some
unknown organism, DIR. Ballabene set to
work in 1892 to find a remedv for This
poison. He believes he has discovered one.
an inoffensive remedy with amylic and
benZoic elements, which he declares pro-
| duces prompt, beneficial and lasting eff
fectS- DR.. Ballabene has come from Rome
to bring his treatment before the medical
profession of Great Britain. His prepara-
ton is only used by means of injection
into the muscles, the injections taking
place once daily over a period of ten or
twenty days according to the severity of
the attack. The injections do not produce
any irritation, nor do they lead to any
inflammation, and can be made over and
over again without harm. Usually DR..
Ballabene asserts, five or six injections
suffice to Subdue any recurrence.
The Greek appellation Of arthralgonicon
has been given to the remedy, the term
meaning vanquisher Of pain in the joints.
It contains no trace of any of the usual
remedies for rheumatism and govt, and
acts by combining with the uric acid in
the blood, making this very soluble and so
enabling IL to be more easily eliminated
from the system. DR.. Bsilabene also holds
that the drug acts in another way-that
il destroys the toxines or germs flowing
in the blood. Here is the important fac
tor in the drug-it kills the disease, where
as the usual remedies for govt and rheu-
matism merely relieve symptoms. Cures,
IL is claimed. have been effected on pa
tients ranging from 6 to IS years of age.

GETTING THERE.
The discussion by The Herald's after
noon contemporaries as to their circu-
latiOn during the present excitement is
one of the interesting if not always
profitable diversions incident to such
occasions, but it would be incomplete
without a contribution from The Her
aid. While the evening newspapers
were making so much ado about their
large editions. The Herald was doing
some little business on its own ac-
count-much more. it is believed. than
any other Salt Lake daily.
Following an established custom, The
Herald issued no extra, on the first day
of the San Francisco disaster until the
dispatches gave a definite idea of what
had actually happened. The first Her
aid extra was published at o'clock
Wednesday evening; the second at II p.
m, the regular edition at 5 a. m.
Thursday. another extra at a. m,
still another at II a m, and the last

INDIRECT MuRpER.

In a little publication called What to Eat" the statement is made that the city Of New York annually pays SI1T, 100000 flor adulterated and imi- tatiOn foods, made by the use of chemi- calls and eoloring matter to represent pure foods, but which have no good quality. being worse than no food at all" The Milwaukee Free Press, com menting on this statement and on i'm pure foods generally. declares that more babies under five years of age die In New York from aiarrhoea than from all other causes combined, and that this horrible result is due to i'm pure and adulterated milk.
 These two statements. which are ap- parontly made on good authority, show a horrible condition Of affairs, and 1t is a condition which is not by any means confined to New York. except as to the extent of the crime, for that is the only term to apply to 1t. To adminis- ter poison directly is crime in all civ llized countries, and to administer it indirectly Is morally as criminal, though it may not be so under the law. No wonder mans stomach is not always in good working order and no wonder there are so many diseases and deaths from stomachic and intestinal dis eases when men, women and children are continually taking into their stom- aehs foods and drinks which. if not ac- tual poisons, will eventually have the same results. It is high time that a pure food law should be, enforced in such manner as to put a step to this species of indirect murder.

But it Is upon the wheat mar ket that the influences will be most felt. as move than 90 per cent of the net wheat crop of Russia goes to sup ply the international market.
 During recent years the production of durum wheat in the United States has rapidly increased having reached now an estimated total of 50,000, 900 bushels. of which the domestic market may not absorb more than 10000, 900 bushels. and the remainder Is avail- able for European markets, primarily those of the Mediterranean ports. where the demand for durum wheat is strong est. It was in these that Russia knew almost no competitors. The present shortage strikes with greatest severity just those regions where durum wheat which is spring wheat in Russia, is raised. Whatever spring wheat has been gathered is recognized to be of a very inferior quality. both as to weight and appearance.

NEWSPAPER FILES.

Tn an editorial on the subject of newspapers in libraries, The Ipdian- ap0Iis Star says: Fer historical pur- able sf material and old newspapers when carefully and c6nsecutively pre- served are often in great demand by collectors and by historical societies. So far from being negleetful of such files librariaAs should give them special at tention. should make them easy of ac- cess and should keep a constant and watchfuI eye on patrons who use them; for, sad to say, few such patrons are to be trusted not to mutilate the papers If given opportunity; to cut out what they desire is so much easier than copying. It is probable that with the wood pulp paper now in use newspa- pers printed today will be in state of disintegration before many years, but 1t is worth while to preserve them as long as. possible"
 True. every word of 1t. The modern newspaper. especially the well-con- ducted daily. instead of being merely 'the abstract and brief chronicles of the time" as Shakespeare says, are continuous daily histories of all that is going on in this world of ours. Not only do they keep pace with events in the region where they are published. but through the aid of modern inven- tion and discovery they tell of events md happenings in the uttermOst parts Of the earth, and well-preserved and bound file of a good daily newspaper 1or one year Is a history within itself AEo public library can be complete with sut this addition to its stock of litera- .ure.
 Looking at the matter from ons point of view. the advance in paper making is serious disadvantage. in that it acts against the longevity of 1itera- ture. In the old times the paper made of hemp and flax was almost inde- structible by the passage of time. Good cotton paper was almost equally long lived. but the two factors of cheRpness and auaRtity have practically driven such paper out of existence. Now 1t is made of wood. grass and almost any thing else. and the result is a paper which looks well and works well for either writing or printing, but it lacks ths desirable quality of longevity Af- tas c few years the cheap paper of the present day will disintegrate, the print fade away and little is left. .~
 Even with such disadvantages, how ever. newspaper files are of almost in- sstimable value and no public library should be without them. We know from daily experience what an advant- age and delight 1t is to go back al- most or quite three-quarters of cen- tury and pore over the files of Mont- gomery papers Such examinations are not only a source of pleasure, but servo to settle many disputed point of facts and dates. To others, who can find time to visit a public library the newspaper files will be equally Inter- esting and useful. and though the life of the modern papers may be compar- atively short, they are invaluable while they can be preserved.

Wtn Not Recommend Maddenss sugges- ton About Second Class Postage.
 washington Special to New Orleans Picayune.
 The commission which for six months has been studying pOstaI conditions, giving hearings in New York and Washington, has about reached it's con Congress for authority to conduct far broader investigation, and in the mean time will positively reject the recom- mendation of Third Assistant Postmas- ter General Madden that the rate on second class matter be raised to four cents pound, Mir. Madden finally ad- mitted to the commission that his re- cornmendation that the fee for carry ing second class matter be raised to four cents pound was based on "a mere guess" and the Postmaster Gen erai failed to indorse the recommen- datiOn,
 The commission finds almost incred- ible Ignorance in the Postof1ce DeNart- ment regarding the cost of the service the department renders. Under the present system of accounting no one can tell. even approximately the cost of carrying the various classes of mail cause of the annual deficiency, and al- together the commission concludes that a reorganization of accounting, which will place the department on a busi- the commission will ask Congress for authority to employ and devise and fn- stitute system whereby 1t can be cas- fly ascertained at what loss or profit the various divisions of the service are maintained. the cost of carrying che several classes of mall, the cause of the annual deficit. etc.
 Under instructions from Congress the commission confined it's investigations to second class matter, and the sub jects which may be retarded as cor related. but 1t finds that 1t i'd impossi- hle to make intelligent recommenda- tions without a fuller knowledge of tho facts than can possibly be ascer- aaass.tihrl.
