That our American Forests aAound in
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly atteste1
by scores of the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful.
ness Of many native plants before the
advent Of the white race. This informa-
ton, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue investigations until
to-day we have a rich assortment Of most
valuable American medicinal roots.

THE HAPPY FARMER.

Solon o. Thatcher, writing in Max
Wells Talisman, davis this contrast
between the state of mind and other
rewards of the farmer and the man
who speculates or otherwise makes
living by his wits;
"At the bottom of many a dazzling
fortune lie dishonor, infidelity, false
hood, robbery betrayal of a friend
and the wreck of the possessions OF
the unwary. What the farmer gains
is laden with sweet sunshine, the
zephyrs of spring and the fostering
love of all natures ministry So that
when one takes account of the COM
pensations, mental and spiritual, that
come to him whose daily bread comes
from honest toll, over him who lives
by his wits, or is the Robin Hood of
society, the balance throws high into
the air the one who lives by spesu-
lation or adventure"

Every big fire is a strong argument
for a gravity water system for Pen

receiver and gave bond in the sum OF
$4,000 with the Citizens Trust &
Guaranty Company of Parkersburg,

mills located in West Virginia, prln-
cipally in Randolph county. and the

Prices of Stadium
Seats Are 90 Iii gll
Poor Attendance at Olympic
Games Due to Stupidity
of Management.

LONDON Eng. July 17-There is
no doubt that the prohibitiye prices
asked for seats at the Stadium are
responsible for the poor attendance.
Uncovered seats opposite the winning
post cost 100, and the cheapest COW
cred seats, from which satisfactory
view of the racing is impossible, cost
20 cents.
The other covered seats cost 81. SO,
$3.50 and So and II a spectator
wants to spend the day in the stad-
ium he has to pay half as much again
On the day of the Marathon race
these prices viii be doubled.
Mr.. Sullivan. president of the
American Amateur athletic Union,
said that the seats were empty owing
entirely to the stupidity of the pro.
moters. The admission prices were
not only ridiculous but impossible.
He was willing to wager that the
Stadium would be packed If so cents
was asked for a seat for the day OF
issue. The management was losing
hundreds of pounds daily. If reason.
able prices were charged the public
would go to the Stadium.

WAGE INCREASE
NOW IN SIGHT
Under the Window Glass Slid

dent Faulkner.


President Faulkner of the National
Window Glass Workers has sent out
the following report on conditions of
business to the trade this week. says
the Commoner and Glass Worker:
Brothers. am pleased TO be able
to state that there is now every Indi-
cation that the wages, of the window

will be greatly Increased, beginning
with this settlement. The American
Window Glass Company on Wednes-
day, July s, raised their quotations as
follows:
$3.50 on all single and A double;
90-40 on all b double, 13x20 single,
s0-25; first bracket c single, $1.93

an allowance of 20 per cent. A quality

strength.
Stocks on hand are exceedingly
low, lower than for many years past,
probably not exceeding 100000 boxes
in the aggregate, about so per cent
of which is held by the American
Window Glass Company. In my
opinion prices viii continue to adj

sliding scale, the wages Of the work.

The turn in the sliding scale has be-

The great event OF the meeting was
the ampionship eight, in which. after
winning several heats. the Belgian crew
went down to defeat in the final be-
fore the Leander crew. The Leanders
won by two lengths and q half over
Ia course one mile and a half long in
minutes 50 seconds with comparative
ease The outcome of the contest was
a great surprise. 1t was a battle of

The appalling number OF deaths from
cancer in women's breasts have led
many to believe that cancer Is in
durable. That is a mistake. as proven
by the many thousands of cures that
DR.. S. R. Chanley has made. over a
third of century devoted to curing
cancers; no failures and no pay until
cured is record never excelled- No
proposition could be fairer than his
offer of 81 1000 If he fails TO cure any
single cancer. He is recommended by
physicians as strictly reliable. No work
could be more praiseworthy than his
teaching the wives and mothers
throughout the land that any lump in
womans breast Is cancer" He says
millions OF women have lost their lives
through ignorance of that truth: also,
any tumOr. lump or sore on the lip,
face or anywhere six months is cancer.

clinehed over the telegraph wires.
The men Will battle for so per cent
of the gate receipts, to be divided so
per cent to the winner and 40 per cent

announced last night that he would
take on Thomas at catch weights. If

Jack Johnson Pleases
British Experts
SPECIAL CABLE TO THE CALL

LONDON, July 31-Jack Johnson, the
coloFed heavy weight champion, who
claims the worlds title because OF
Tommy Burns refusal to meet him.
stopped Ben Taylor, one of the best
English heavy weights. in the eighth
round OF a scheduled 10 round battle
at Plymouth tonight
1t was Johnson's fight from the very
beginning. He said after the battle he
let Taylor stay just to give the specta-
tors a run for their. money. The men
fought for a $500 side bet and a per-
centage. Johnson was far too clever
for his hard hitting opponent, and not
once during the eight rounds did Tay-
lor land more than light jab on john
son. On the other hand, Jack had his
man in bad way many times, but al
ways let UP on him when he saw he
had him going. In the eighth round.
however, Johnson shot terrific right
hook TO the jaw and Taylor dropped
like a log.
The English fight experts who have
seen Burns in action claim that john
son is Burns master at all stages of the
game. One of the best known critics
in London had the following to say:
johnson is 100 per cent better man
than Burns. He is cleverer can hit
harder and is just as cool under fire.
