can prosperity. Such winter wheat fields
as have been blighted are successfully
resown to other crops. and with just
few months of normal weather the total
agricultural production for the year will
be more than satisfactory and will repre-
sent more money to the farmers than
any previous year in history. This, OF
course, must find reflex in industrial and

still clings 10 its old position, that high

The statement of the associated banks
Of the city of New York for the wee,
ending May - revealed, as had been ex-
pected, large increase in cash, the gain
based on actual conditions, having aggre-
gated S4.5i9, 400 This was less, however
than had been estimated, the receipts
from the interior having been figured al
more than S1m0.UD per day during the
past week. The banks also gained over
S1.GU.oD from operations with the sub
treasury.
The increase in cash practically all went
to swell the reserve, as there was a
change of only x1v7,iGO in loans while de-
positS rose $3,SiSUO-the result chiefly OF
the gain in cash. In consequence of the
changes noted. reserve rose S},oS1 400 and
the surplus now stands at SD 426, ,.l13.

in loans an increase of 81 ,291 900 in cash
and an increase of $l3.547, 600 in net de-
posits. 1t is evident that the heavy bond
offerings of the week were reflected in

Paralysis From Impure Food.


A prominent physician. connected with
one OF the hospitals In New York city.
made the startling statement recently
that $500 cases Of infantile paralysis were
treated in the public hospitals Of New
YORK every year. and that the malady
was caused by eating foods in which the
process Of decay had begun. but was not
noticeable. DR.. Frauenthal makes this
statement and he has the courage to add
that the charges of men like DR.. Wiley
have scared parents concerning the use
of harmless preservatives. AS a result,
food which has begun to decay from lack
of harmless preservatives is fed to young
children. whose condition cannot resist
the bacteria it generates. For instance"
says DR. Frauenthal, canned goods lack
ing a preseryative cannot safely be given
to children after the can has been open
a day. for by that time decay has set In.
The child can much more easily assimi-
late preservatives used In canned goods
than 1t can toxic poisons" Among the
harmless food preservatives DR.. F,rauen-
thai includes benzoate of soda and small
amounts Of salicylic and boric acids This
confirms what many other authorities
have said regarding the spread of pto-
maine poisoning from the eating Of can
ned goods since the rigid restrictions OF
Dr. Wiley have forbidden the use OF in
f1nitesimal amounts of such preservatfves
as benzoate of soda. Physicians concede
that the use Of these preservatives Is far
less harmful than the more generous use
Of salt. vinegar and spices. AS the people
come to comprehend the real facts Of the
case, they will have less respect for theo-
rists with fads, like DR.. Wiley.

lots owned by park neigrbors. They OBJ
ject to sand ballast on the ground that 1t

it on their roofs. The manager Of the
Aero Club Of California believes the time
has come for regulating traffic between
earth and heaven.
To define the rights Of balloons and air
ships and to protect aerial navigation.
property owners and citizens from pos
sible dangers is the purpose of proposed
ordinance which the club is preparing Tor
presentation to the city council. 1t VIII
probably he the first in the world.
The subject was brought to the atten-
tion of the city attorney Yesterday after
noon and referred by him to Assistant
Wilson A conference was held between
Wilson and the Aero Club management.
and it was agreed that it is not untimely
to have such an ordinance framed and
presented for passage. Wilson suggested
that members of the club formulate ar
ticles and then hold another conference
with him.
The Aero Club members contend that
the time is near when aerial craft will be
in southern California, and that
some provision must be made for their
legal operation Already knabenshue

other airships are about to be constructed;

several flying machines of the heavier,

and await success to insure local use:
many models of other machines have
been made and several are under process
of construction. With all this going on
the aero people believe that aerial naViga-
