BILLIONS OF GOLD

London, Oct. l4.-As a result OF IN.
vestigations recently made In South
Africa, ]. b. Robinson, chairman Of
the Robinson South African Banking
company. and owner of gold mines in
South Africa, figures that there Is a
million million pounds worth of gold
that can yet be taken out OF
the Rand. Moreover he is c0n-
yinced that there are immense
deposits Of gold, gems and
minerals as yet untapped in the Trans
vaal. Assuming the accuracy of Mr..
Robinson's estimate the gold in the
Rand will not be exhausted at the
present rate Of output until the year
Al ,907.
According to the English nation,
million millions Of pounds would be
the equivalent OF 5000, 600, 900, 900.

"soliD GOLD" IN LAW.

Meaning Of PuzzIing Term-Protee-
tIon Against "Phoney" Jewelry.
The term solid gold" has been the
cause OF much discussion on the part
az manufacturers OF gold articles ana
of much misapprehension on the part
of the public for some time past, and
the recent law fixing the commercial
definition OF the phrase is welcomed
on all sides.
According TO this law, says the 81.
Louis Globe-Democrat, 10 carat gold
is the commercial solid gold" and all
articles containing more alloy than
this or all articles with parts which
contain more alloy are henceforth 10
be known as plated, filed or rolled
gold, and must be so marked by the
manufacturer. For example, q pin
with top of solid" gold, even 10 the
value OF is carats, cannot legally be
called solid If hinge, hook or pin
is not 10 carat gold; while anorheI
pin of 10 carats throughout, though
of much less intrinsic value than that
of is carats, is legally "solid gold"
This law was made TO protect the
manufacturing jewellers against the
makers and sellers OF "phony" jewelry.
and has been heartily indorsed by the
legitimate trade all over the United
States.
1T is a law which We have long \
needed" said a st. Louis wholesale
jeweler, "but solid gold is misnomer
and l for one should be very glad 10
see the term abandoned and the value
stamp used in it's place, Commercially
speaking, there never was such
thing as solid goid'-at least not for
the last 200 or 500 years. Some OF the
ancient jewelry of the Roman and the
renaissance periods was made of pure
gold, worked up by hand with the
crudest tools. and that is, OF course, of
far greater value on account of the
purity Of the material as well as its
quaint and beautiful workmanship and

and lack of breath accompanied BY an
Undesirable feeling that seemed 10
start in my stomach. Whenever was
little rundown or over-tired, these
spells would come on. They occurred
frequently bat did not last very long.
II was confined to my bed for ten
weeks one time and the doctor pro-
nounced my trouble chronic inhamma-
ticn of the stomach and bowels. Since
that time have been subject to the
fainting spells and at other times to flnt-
tering of the heart and feeling as
though 1 was smothering. My general
health was very bad and was weak and
trembling.
81 had seen DR.. Williams Pink Pills
mentioned in the newspapers and de-
cided to try them. When began taking
the pills was SO rundown in strength
that could hardly do any homework.
Now could walk ten miles if necessary.
Both my husband and myself think DIR.
