When the city opened the streets
in the vicinity of the William
street building II owned the
property and placed restrictions in
the deeds. such as some modcrn
developers make. that the lot
should be improved with buildings
at least two stories high.
There is a shed in the rear of
the building which, the bulletin

A WASTFuL NATION

OF all the nations of the earth
America is the most wasteful of
the lives of its citizens. Seventy
five thousand of our people are
killed each year by accidents of
which number 35OOU are workmen
slain while engaged in their daily
OCCUPATIONS. If we add To these
figures the number wounded and
crippled in industry, we shall find
th-t industry now kills and
crippled more in each year than
did bullet and shrapnel in any year
of the Civil var OF all American
industries coal mining is the most
hazardous. From three to fv
thousand coal miners are annually
killed outright and The number of
killed and seriously injured COM
bined amounts to from eIght to ten
thousand each year in the United
States. Since 1890 more than 3O,-
600 coal miners have been killed
and more than 80. 900 have been
seriously injured In the single
State of Pennsylvania in the year
1907 alone more than 1000 miners
were killed, leaving nearly 1000
widows and 3,4l0 children under
10 years of age.--Exchange.

largely on the report of our own

to the immense accumulation of
the yellow metal in this country.

emphasized frequently, showing
that eur treasurery gold is not a

merely a asst hoard of the

is interesting to note some of the
comments Of our contemporary.
which says:
What does affect prices is not
the volume of gold, or even the
increasing production Of gold, but
credit and increasing production
Of gold does help the countries
which have a well-organized
banking system to increase the
credit they give, as. for example,
has happened in England and
Germany where little of the new
gold has been retained"
