Writes a traveller: "The poblest and
the basest Arabs are agreed that TO OBJ
tain as quickly as possible all the avail
able cash they can lay their hands on is
by no means degrading. But even here
subtle dialectic comes into play. The
Arab must always have right on his
side, for il studied and complex hypoc-
risy lie has nothing to learn from us.
If an Arab would rob his guest-I am
speaking from personal experience-he
will first talk at length ON the subject
of honor. hospitality, and so forth. He
will gradually work the matter round
as to why you are travelling. throw out
suggestions that spies, enemies and in
truders cannot claim hospitality, sug-
gest that be himself is poor, question
himself as TO whether he ought not to
detain you as a prisoner. again state
that he is in want, and thus shift from
blackmail to cajolery until he has ex-
torted the sum of MONEY witch In his
curious brain he might describe as the
least he could accept with honor or the
most he could extract without danger
to himself"

Ono of the Financial Puxxyes.

The worlds production of gold was
S425,O00,C00 last year and continues to
climb. A hundred years ago tie yield
was S12.O00,000. Eight years ago it
was $262, 100000. The worlds stock of
gold has doubled since 1893. In recent
years the line of profit in working gold
ores has been lowered from $14 to 81.
The output is practically sure to go on
Increasing. 1t is said that this great
yield of gold is tie nam cause of the
advance in the cost of living. If this
theory be true, the farmer is indebted
to the gold mines for good returns for
all his products, and the workman is
similarly indebted for enlarged wages.
But on the other side IS the larger
outgo for necessities. In striking the
balance the advantage is decidedly on
the side of present conditions. Steady
employment at good wages is more than
an Offset for living expenses, which arc
to some extent adjustable.
In Mr.. Bryan's famous Chicago con
ventiOn speech Ire said the bankers of
the world had cornered gold, and that
a few of them met daily in q back
to fix its price. He is likely to be the
Democratic candidate again this year.
What has he to say now of the gold
supply and the cos of commodities?
The low price OF farm products in 1896,
and for several years preceding. was a
theme on which he spoke pathetically.
He denounced what he called a conspir-
acy TO cruelty mankind on a cross of
gold. Now tie complaint is that gold
pours out so freely that prices,'i ii which
it is measured, are soaring. Another
branch of the subject is a dearth of
currency, With nearly $5O0,000,00O a
year in fresh gold coming from the
mines. But, after all. these problems
are on the side of plenitude. and no
doubt can be worked out satisfactorily
unless there can be too much of q good
thing like gold.

BOULEVARD FOR CLEVELAND.

Land for This Parkway Is Gift of
Property Owners to the City.
Cleveland Is about to receive the
most important addition to her park
system since the acquisition Of Rookie
Teller boulevard. Embracing a tract
OF 125 acres in the valley of Dugway
Brook, the new gift will eventually be-
come a boulevard of exceptional beau
ty, two and one-half miles long, con-
Meeting Gordon Park with Forest Hill,
by way Of the Lake Shore boulevard.
A first-class speedway, three quarters
Of a mile In length. the dream Of Cleve-
land horsemen for many years, will be
the most striking feature of the city's
newest park.
Following closely the course of Dug
way Brock, the new boulevard will
have a setting unsurpassed by any Of
the parks in Cleveland. The topog-
raphy Of the country will lend itself
readily to the landscape gardener.
Best of all, the necessary property,
valued at about $4,000, will cost the
city nothing, having been nearly all
donated by generous landholders. Ev-
cry landholder has been asked to do
nate what Is needed Of his estate, and
not a single refusal has been regis
tered.
Those behind the new parkway are
counting on the donation Of Forest Hill
to the city ONE day. Only then can
the Dugway Brook boulevard realize it's
greatest measure of usefulness as n two
and a half mile link In the chain Of
parks extending from Edgewater Park
around the city to Forest Hill. No
definite word on this subject from Mr..
Rockefeller has ever been received, but
the men close to him believe that he
will make this disposition of his mag
nificent estate. It would seem the nat
ural and logical course.-Cleveland

The wild hog is still to be found in
the Choctaw nation in Oklahoma, says
the Chickasha Express: W. A. Dand-
ridge. a citizen of hat tribe, says the
land owners there count on these hogs
and try to keep tab on them just as
they did many years ago before any
good hogs were raised there.
He says that farmers are raising
good breeds of hogs, but that they still
own some wild hogs which run in the
open country in the heavily timbered
districts. AS many of these hogs as
can be caught when they are small are
marked on the ears, and some are
braided. Then they are turned loose
and allowed TO run wild with the other
hcgs till they grow up.

trying to round up these hogs on foot

The dogs go into the heavy brush after
them and bring them out, and in that
way we finally corral them.
Then they are kept in a strong in

acorns and grass and seem to be free
from all kinds of diseases which de-
stroy so many of the tame hogs. The
roundup season Is in the fall, when
the wild hogs are at their best.

Every analysis undertaken shows
this food to be made strictly of Wheat
and Barley, treated by our processes
to partially transform the starch parts

Our claim that it is a FOOD for
Brain and Nerve centers" is based
upon the fact hat certain parts of
Wheat and Barley (Which we use)
contain Natures brain and nerve
building ingredients, viz. Phosphate
Of Potash, and the way we prepare the
food makes it easy to digest and as

DR.. Geo. w. Carey IN his book on
THE Biochemic System of Medicine"
says:
When the medical profession fully
understands the nature and range of
the phosphate of potassium, insane

The gray matter of the brain is
controlled entirely by the inorganic
cell-salt. potassium phosphate.
This salt unites with albumen, and
by the addition of oxygen creates
n~erve-fuid, or the gray matter of the
brain.
"Of course, there is a trace OF other
salts and other organic matter in
~nerve-fuid, but potassium phosphate
is the chief factor, and has the power
within itself to attract, by its own law
of affinity, all things needed to manu-
facture the elixir of life. Therefore.
when nervous symptoms arise. due to
the fact that the nerve-fuid has been
exhausted from any cause, the phos-
plate of potassium is the only true
remedy. because nothing else a pos
sibly supply the deficiency.
1.-The ills arising from too rapidly
consuming the gray matter of the
brain cannot be overestimated.
Phosphate of Potash is TO- my mind
the most wonderful curative agent
Eve discovered by man, and the bless
ings it has already conferred on the
race are many. But what shall the
harvest be- when physicians every
where fully understand the part this
wonderful salt plays In the processes
of life? 1t will do as much as can be
lone through physiology to make a
heaven on earth.
Let the oyerworked business man
take it and go home good-tempered.
Let the weary wife, nerves unstrung
