VIII Coin Silver.

Wonder what those gentlemen who,
in 1896, so strenuously contended that
the coinage of silver would send this
country to the dem nitionbow vows
will think of the following announce
ment from Washington.
Washington, Aug. IA. --George f.,
Roberts, Director of the Mint, today
announced that the Treasury De-
partment would purchase an average
of 100, 900 ounces of silver weekly, re-
gardless of the effect upon the mark t,
although the Treasury would reserve
the right to purchase only in such
quantities and at such prices as suited
the officials. He said;
"Silver is to be purchased from now
on for the coinage of subsidiary money
The growth of the country and the
business demands require that some
thing over 50 100000 of small coin be
put into circulation each year, Since
l900-six years ago-the coinage OF
subsidiary silver has amounted to S33 ;,
600 900, which is at the rate of about
50 800 900 a year. We have been out OF
silver bullion for some time, and it was
absolutely necessary to do something
Congress failed to take actiou on a
number of bills that were introduced
providing for purchase of bullion to
meet thedemands for subsidiary coin
age, but the Attorney-G General decided
that we had authority to make pur.
clases under existing laws.
Apple Crop Prospects
Former State Senator 5. l.. Lupton,
of Winchester, whe is an authority on
horticulture and secretary of the Nir-
ginia State Horticultural society after
extensive correspondence and personal
investigation has given out the follow
ing statement.
From the most reliable sources OBJ
tainable at this date, il is estimated
that the apple crop of 1906 will be
slightly under the average of the last
10 years as to the quantity and slight
ly over the average as to quality. The
Baldwin crop is light in Michigan
New York and New England, and as
Baldwins constitute the bulk of the
crop in those sections the shortage will
| be sure to affect the market. The Hud-
son river section is very light, which
ought to make for Newton and Alder
marie pippings good price Missouri,
Arkansas and illinois have fair crop
of good quality at this date. Good red
fruit in Virginia should bring 81 pei

She Was Told That an Operation Was

When physician tells woman suf-

that an operation is necessary, the very
thought of the knife and the operating
table strikes terror to her heart, and
our hospitals are full of women coming
for lust such operations.
