These clubs are combinations OF CO.
caine slaves and hip pocket dealers in
the drug, banded together to get it in
large quantities from wholesalers.
Many college girls have become mem
bers. as well as alumni of leading uni
versities. along with members of the
demi monde and other outcasts.
Sworn never to betray each other the
women and girls make the circuit of
several apartments. going to a different
place each night. In these apartments
they participate in disgusting orgies.
Only when all are stupid does the hor-
rible carnival cease.
Petty dealers, interested in profit
getting at the rate Of $500 per ounce,
have established places where they
teach young girls how to use cocaine.
Rev H. NJ. Pringle says 10000 ounces
Of cocaine are sold annually in the

BRIGHT'S DISEASE

Late estimates on the percentage of
recoveries under the new emolient
treatment for chronic Brights disease.
heretofore recorded as incurable give
the following approximate figures: In
extreme cases In which the heart has
become much weakened and where
crises may be expected in from five
to ten days there are probably not
more than 10 per cent to 20 per cent
of the cases that respond with suffi-
cient promptness to prevent the fatal
issue. (Where physicians aid by max
ing determined efforts to restrain fatal
symptoms this efficiency is increased
In cases where patients have from
80 to so days of life remaining the eff
ficiency is naturally still higher
Where patients do not wait until
they are bedridden, but are up and
about and have a reasonable certainty
of several months, probably three
fourths yield. and in cases in which
the patients treat the disease seriously
on its appearance nearly nine out of
ten respond
The albumen, casts and dropsy of
months or years standing that are
supposed to make up an incurable and
fatal case do not of themselves pre-
vent recovery, the determining feature
now being the recuperative power of
the heart and various functions. In
a word, the Renal Inflammation should
be attacked before the heart and physi
cal system are broken down.
The new emolient treatment is
known as Fulton's Renal Compound
at all druggists. Full literature mailed
on application Address the John !
Fulton Co, 212 First street, San Fran
cisco, Cal.
In cases in extremis that appear
hopeless the physician can do much
by sustaining the heart, increasing the
diuresis and output of urea. stimu-
lating the nutrition, etc, etc. and thus
restraining fatal symptoms till the
renal Inflammation begins to respond
to the treatment. We have a 16 page
brochure full of helpful measures for
the attending physician that we win
mail free. We invite correspondence
with physicians who have obstinate
cases and will take each case up in
dividually and advise.

AGRICULTURAL BODIES
TO CONVENE AT PORTLAND
Will Discuss Extension of Farm.
ing Courses Into Schools

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 15.-The Ma
tional association OF farmers institute
workers and the American association
of agricultural colleges and experiment
stations will hold their conventions
here this week.
While the whole subject of agricul-
ture from its broadcast to its most tech
meal phase will be dealt with, the
point which 1t appears will receive the
most careful consideration of the body
is the extension of agricultural train
ing into schools of lower grade than
colleges. The great, proportion of
farmers children are unable to avail
themselves of college training, and to
reach this great class provision must
be made for teaching agriculture in
lower grades. The discussion Of this
subject will probably play the most
important part in the deliberations.

Last July Salzners wife was found

in a steel cage.
The sheriff and his crowd of dep
uties were pushed aside and the door
battered down with a sledee hammer.
The mob found some difficulty in
breaking the cage but after half
hours attack it gave away and Salzner
was taken. The mob rushed him out
of the back door of the Jail, which Is

eously for his life but his appeals were
met by cries and blows from the mob.
When Salzner was asked for his
last statement, stranger in the crowd
stepped forward and said he believed
Salzner was innocent whereon the
mob fell on him and it was with diln-
Guilty that his life was saved.
He was compelled to beg mercy
from the mob and announced in loud
voice that Salzner should be lynched,
after which he was driven from the
crowd.
