WISE WORDS,
A Physician on Food.

A physician, of Portland, Oregon.
has views about food. He says:
Il have always believed that the
duty Of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick. but that we
owe 1t to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health, especially BY
hygienic and dietetic laws.
With such feeling a. to my duty
take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation have
found no food equal to Grape-Nuts,
and that find there II almost no limit
to the great benefits this food will
bring when used in all cases of siok-
ness and convalescsnce.
1T is my experience that no physi
cal condition forbids the use of Grape
Nuts. To persons in health there 10
nothing SO nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach. especially at break
fast, to start the machinery of the hu-
man system on tho days work.

Natural Gas at Fort Collins

Fort Collins.-Natural gas and oil
sand have been struck by the La
Porte Oil and Gas Company's drill six
miles northwest of here. For two
days the drill has been going through
sand which. when washed, gave a good
showing of oil.
The gas came spasmodically, and at
one time produced a flame sixteen
feet high. The drill was down only
800 feet when the first showing of oil
came, but at 500 feet it was in the
shale.
The drillers believe that these indi-
cations, so near the surface, means a
good flow at 1880 to 1000 feet.
This is the second well sunk in the
vicinity. The first yielded nothing,
and drilling was abandoned at 1000
feet.

Weld and Phillips Irrigation Project.

When the earlier settlers diverted
streams upon their lands, naturally
enough they did not engage in any
very intricate surveying, letting the
water follow the well known law Of
gravitation and running their laterals
in the most convenient course. 1t has
been said that one of the earlier
bitches in this county was surveyed
by an engineer whose only instrument
was plumb-bob. But that was long
ago, and there are men here yet who
never dreamed of the extent to which
irrigation would be carried, though
even in those days the value of water
on the land was seen. Just now there
are two irrigation projects on foot
which will redeem much land that has
heretofore been considered too re.
mote from the source of supply to
ever have water brought TO it, One
of these is that which will irrigate
some twenty thousand acres of land
in Phillips county, and another in
northeastern Weld county in section
which has never as yet been irrigated.
The reservoir, which will ne built to
conserve the flood waters of Coal
creek, is about three miles from the
little town of Hereford. There are
twelve thousand acres in the district.

BANKING AND COMMERCIAL CIR.
Giles MAKING INQUIRIES
AS TO REASON.
INDIA is SPECULATIMG
CHINA REQUIRES oNE-THlRD OF
THE SILVER PRODUCT OF
THE WHOLE WORLD.

New York-Since the beginning of
the month, bar silver at London has
risen from "a 15-16d an ounce to
26 lid October goth. Edward Brush,
vice president of the American
Smelling and Refining Compar 7,
when asked to explain the more i'm.
mediate causes affecting silver prices,
said:
THE most immediate cause of the
recent advance is speculation. Indian
traders are born spectators and they
have attempted, successfully appar-
emily, to anticipate the increase in up
country demand, by accumulation
in unusual quantities. Earlier in the
year they made the first attempt, and,
contrary to the expectations of many,
who thought they would fail, have
been able to hold their position pend
ing sales for current needs of a popu-
lation numbering something like 300,-
100000 people who have had two
years of good crops following the de-
preston of 1907. Another cause of
improvement in the silver market is
the bettering of commercial condi-
tions in China as well as in India.
These two countries are the main
sources of demand for silver outside
of what is consumed in the arts and
for home coinage of producing coun-
tries. The latter requirement is
about one-third of the entire produc-
ton of the world. The other two
thirds comprise the dominant factor
in the supply represented In the Lon
don quotations for bar silver. The
movement to the Far East is primarily
a commercial matter. China and In
dia have surplus commodities to sell
to the rest of the world and these ere
ate an exchange demand for silver, be-
cause that commodity is the one
which these peoples can most readily
use. Both countries are now in a
condition in which their exports pre-
ponderate over imports, hence the i'm
provement in the demand for the
metal exchange"
