POWER OF WEALTH IN AMERICA
Slgnor FerrepO Compares the Rich of the
United States and EupQpe.

The observations on the United
States of America by Guglielmo Fer
zero. the Italian historian, which are
appearing In the Paris Figaro, are at
tracing much attention. Signor Fer
zero finds that the immense power
welded by the rich in America is due
to their untrammelled activity, par
ttcularly as compared with conditions
In Europe, where the State retains
more or less control of all enterprise.
This freedom and private initiative
IN America he attributes to the fact
that fear of the State was the under
lying principle of the American Con-
stitution.
THE founders of the Republic"
Signor Ferrero says, were imbued
with the French philosophy of the
eighteenth century, and they could
not foresee the formidable forces
which would emerge from the de-
velopment of the gigantic resources
or the land" AS result the Ameri-
can millionaire occupies different
position from that of his European

ties which in Europe fall upon the |
State. and with responsibility comes

the State in America all the superior

INTERMITTENT LIMPING.
~ ~ ..nR
Painful Disease Where Rest and
Care Are Most lnnarfanf

/
| Intermittent limping is a disease
or rather a symptom, occurring ii
mar, which is sometimes compared
to spring halt horses. 1t begin!
gradually with weakness, stiffness:
and pains in one or both legs, some
times shooting from hip to ankle.
If q detSImined effort is made te
continue using the affected limb all
these symptoms grow persistently
more severe, the leg may become
quite rigid, with stretched tendons
as if it we're on the rack. The dis.
tinctive symptom, however, is that all
these symptoms cease when the leg
is allowed to rest The limping is
the direct result of the weakness
and stiffness and pain. When these
subside as the result of rest. which
they always seem to do, then for a
time there is no limp. and hence the
name intermittent limping."
When the symptoms are at their
height there is great deal of con-
sesticn, the veins are distended with
blood, the leg, and especially the
foot. looks dark, and there may be
an outbreak of little red spots on
the skim
In conjunction with these symp-
toms is found another which is very
significant. No pulse can be felt in
the back artery of the foot, showing
that the arterial circulation is at
fault. Unless properly treated this
trouble may so on to very disagree

condition of muscular atrophy may
set in, with continuous pain in spite
OF rest, and in advanced stages dry

Tk.s trouble is believed to be
caused by an insufficient supply of
blood to the affected part. It is
thought that the reason WHY the

In captivity elephants stand ur
