Hon Frank Clark. member Of Con-
gress from the Second District OF
FLORIDA and citizen OF Gainesville
has had notable distinction confer
red upon him. that OF being the first
member Of either branch Of Congress
from Florida whose speeches have
been used as Democratic campaign
literature. IN the revised edition Of
the Democratic Campaign Hand Book
for 1908 we find two OF Mr.. CIark's
speeches, the one on page 295 show.
ING the blunder OF our Government In
purchasing the Philippines. and on
rage 316 appears his able speech
showing now un-democratic and un-
American is the present arrogant ex-
ercise OF power. by the, Speaker OF
the National House Of Representa-
tives.
Congressman Clark is recognized
by members of both branches OF Con.
gress as not only an eloquent speaker,
but logician who presents his side
OF the case In most forcefuI manner.
He has gained national reputation
during only two terms in Congress,
and his unanimous election as secre-
tary Of the Democratic Congressional
Committee, together with the wide
spread use OF his speeches as cam.
paign documents are distinctions new
er before conferred upon any citizen
of Florida.
This district is certainly fortunate
in having Mr.. Clark in Congress, and
Gainesville is proud to own him as
citizen.

Useful Medicine Bottle.

In Europe there is in common use
a medicine bottle with a glass stopper,
which has tiny groove running down
one side of 1t. which corresponds to n
tiny groove in the neck of the bottle
These are used for medicines that
must be dropped. such as nuS vomica
and strychnine. and. when the stopper
is turned with the groove toward tha.
in the bottle. the medicine drops out
easily and not too rapidly. but. when
finished. the stopper need only be
turned back SO that the two grooves
do not coincide. and the medicine is
protected from the air.
Thus It is not necessary to remove
the stopper from the bottle from the
time II is filed until the medicine has
all been used.

pital at New Bedford, Mass, his native

The will then went on to say that,
wishing to protect the girl. who was not

ters. her stepfather desired her. at

honorable Agatha at her castle In

two years: in return for which they
were each to receive a generous
monthly stipend. enjoy luxurious
lodgings and rich fare. and to live a
life of idleness. with ample entertain
ment.
1t was further directed that, before
the girls left for England. some Eng

cured to dwell at Castle Wyckhoff in

Boyd's death the Honorable Agatha
was to observe mourning by not 60

this time she was to be permitted to
amuse herself and friends by enter
tanning at the castle any young men
of whom the chaperon might approve.
Mrs. Armistead (should she be the
chaperon securely was likewise
charged to keep the castle supplied
with guests. the best young men that
England could boast. as her large ac-
quaintance permitted her to do. Each
visitor in the role of suitor for the
hand of the Honorable Agatha was
limited to six weeks say at the castle.
as Mr.. Boyd considered that length of
time sufficient for him to find out
whether he loved any of the Agathas
or not and the suitor was not to make
his declaration until the very last
day of the six weeks allotted him. and.
OF course. was limited to one proposal.

derstanding that she was not the Hon

Mrs. Armistead was to secure another
Agatha. and the girl who desired to
marry was to receive a dowry amount
ing to the full sum of the monthly
stipends which she would have re-
ceiyed had she remained at the castle
for the entire two years. The same
provision for her companions was
made in the event of the real Agatha's

time. II any young man proposed 10

latter was to be likewise addressed as

suitOrs and servants, in order to pre-
serve the secret. This condition could
be carried out without fear OF recogni-

Denver.-Colorado will attract ESQ.,
900 tourists annually instead of the
$4,000 people that now visit the state
when the three-scorc or more of min
eral springs are developed and
equipped with accommodations and at
fractions. Each visitor will remain
six to eight weeks and leave behind
500, estimating from figures compiled
in European resorts. which will leave
Colorado with $25.000,O0O in added
wealth annually.
Denver being the chief commercial
center and distributing point for the
various medicinal springs resorts, will
OF course reap the lions share of the
benefits.
These were some of the telling
points made by Thomas Tonge in his
paper on Colorado mineral springs,
read before the Denver real estate ex-
change at the Brown Palace hotel. He
stated that years of study proves that
Colorado has exact duplicates of the
famous springs of Europe. and that
many as yet unheard OF publicly actu-
ally excel all known foreign waters.
The exchange members We're SO favor.
ably impressed with the subject and
its importance to Denver that COM
mittee was appointed to agitate for n
bill asking an appropriation for thor
ough examination Of the states medi-
cinal springs.
In only two places. Glenwood
Springs and Manitou. has any at
tempt been made in n proper manner
to care for the tourist seeking springs
for their healing properties. In many
cases where the waters are of excel
lent curative effect. only the most
crude equipment exists. and this lack
OF enterprise or lack of capital must
be remedied before there will be any
permanent flow OF travel. Even should
a visitor be attracted TO n place where
there Is n makeshift equipment, his
stay is shortened and he never goes
a second time.
Mr. Tonge gave figures to show that
some places OF only n few hundred in
habitlnts in Europe attracted 10000
to $4,000 tourists TO their springs be-
cause OF their natural beauty. in con-
nection with their healing waters.
The little town OF Apollinaris In
Prussia exports 20.000,00O bottles OF
water annually. Mr.. Tonge said Colo
RADIO had n practical duplicate spring.
vichy In France attracts 10000 people
annually. Canon City, Colorado. has
n similar spring and might well de-
velop similar fame. Colorado Is known
to have almost exact duplicates of the
famous waters OF AiNles-Bains in
Savoy, OF Cauterets in the Pyrenees
and o. sWiesbaden. Germany.

crippIe Creek Gold Output.

Cripple Creek. Colo.-The total ton
mage shipped from the Cripple Creek
district during August amounted TO
&C, $50 tons. with gross bullion value
of 81, 1,33O77I. These figures show an
increase in tonnage over the month OF
July of 1924 tons. and a decrease in
bullion value of sli,251. In view OF
the fact that the heavy rains have In
terfered to a considerable extent with
hauling and that the allied lines have
been unable to supply the full demand
for cars, this record is considered re-
markable.
The coming month will see two more
mills OF large capacity in full opera
tion. The new spur to be built to
open the northern section of the dis
trict will probably be finished this
month. The district is now shipping
its largest daily tonnage TO the valley
mills and smelters. an average of al
most seventy broad gauge cars leaving
the camp every day. The figures OF
tonnage and gross bullion values as
given out by the various mills and
