to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re-
quires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken intern.
ally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucuous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation OF
the disease, and giving the patient

LAGEST CROP EVER GROWN

One of the crop experts after
touring the spring wheat terri
tory, wired his house as follows:
Present spring wheat prospect
is for largest crop ever grown.
Minnesota and Dakotas can easily
excel 260,ODC00 bushels. Aside
from small district in western
South Dakota, where crop was
burned early, and a still more
limited area in west central
North Dakota that was slightly
hurt, the three states have a per-
feet prospect. Have all the mois-
ture needed to mature it and
weather now cool and perfect for
heavy filling. Growth fully up
to normal season except in ex-
IRENE north, where it is now
heading, and is only a few days
late. Probabilities of serious
black rust damage are remote be.
cause crop will mature too early
for it and fields show less red and
orange leaf rust than usual. Oats
and barley equally good. Looks
like the greatest crop year in his
tory OF the northwest.

TIN DEPOSITS
F. IN ALASKA

The United States uses between
40 and 81 per cent of the world
production of tin, yet American
manufacturers are almost wholly
dependent upon foreign mines
for their supply of raw material.
Alaska may make up a very small
part of this deficiency according
to a report ON the "Tin Resources
of Alaska by Frank Il. Hess,
recently published as Bulletin
Sob by the United States Geo
logical Survey.
Tin was first discovered in
Alaska ON Buhner Creek. Seward
Peninsula, in 1900. The next
year stream. tin was found on
Buck Creek, which is separated
from Buhner Creek by a low di-
vide. In 1903 tin oxide was
found on Cassiterite Creek, a
tributary of Lost River. 20 miles
from Buck Creek and about 100
miles northwest of Nome. Later
discoveries of stream tin were
made at several other places in
the Territory.
OF the tin placers none have
shown much Importance except
those of Buck Creek. In the
gravel OF the creek bed the con-
tent OF stream tin carrying about
30 per cent metallic tin has been
found to be as high as 400 pounds
per cubic yard in rich spots,
though the average is under 30
pounds, In figures furnished the
Geological Survey, the gold in the
gravels has been estimated at 40
cents per cubic yard, at $50 per
ton of stream tin, and at other
amounts. Nuggets of gold valued
at $40 or more have been found.
When compared with the Aus.
tralian and Malayan gravels,

WHAT A GIRL EXPECTS
F, OF A MAN

In the August Woman's Home
Companion appears an article en-
titled "WIhat Girl Expects of a
Man" 1t is written by Anne
Bryan Mccall, and an extra t
follows:
First, she wants strength of
body; not that strength of body
which the primitive woman de
manded, by which you could
knock down an adversary, but
that better, more modern fashion
OF bodily strength which we call
health, the soundness of body
which bespeaks temperate living.
clean thinking, healthy instincts
not the strong body that can
break, so much as the healthy
body which can bend to meet and
deal with the varied and difficult
conditions of modern life. 1t
even pleases her if you sail a
boat well, dance well, ride well,
play tennis will; not because
these things are especially desir-
able in themselves, but because
they express to her newly the
old strength of body in some
gracious and desirable form.
"Then she wants temperate,
ness, and good sense, and trust
worthiness, and broad-minded-
ness, and fair-mindedness. Here
is the old strength of intellect
that she has always desired, but
refined and altered into some
thing better. To understand
what l mean by these things be-
ing manifestations of strong
intellect, compare with such
strength the mental weakness of
the man who is unjust, passion
ate, dull, laundering, slave to
his temper, led in bonds by his
prejudices, changeable, unreliable
variable, unfair; for every one of
these things is a form of mental
weakness. The man strong intel
lectually has none of these
weaknesses.
"Then, and this / would have
you note as her most persistent
demand, she expects strong
will and honor, moral strength
that is. The man must have the
moral courage to do right, to
overcome evil, whether evil from
outside or evil within himself; a
man not weak to yield, but
strong to resist temptation.
"And with honor / shall in
clude courtesy, that thing so dear
to the heart of every woman.
And | shall call your attention to
the fact that courtesy, true cour-
tesy, is perhaps the finest flower
of all moral strength. As a man S
moral strength deepens, his
courtesy grows. Courtesy is at
bottom just kindness, and he is
always most kind who has the
strongest sense of the rights of
others and the deepest sense of
honor toward himself.

PROMISE OF EVEN
GREATER IMPROVEMENT

The Brownsville Herald ~rejofces
that arrangements have been made
by which a through sleeper il to be
run between San Antonio and
Brownsville. This is a step toward
more comfortable travel between
here and the Rio Grande, but the
ideal trip will not be made until a
direct line of railway is built. Then
the trip will be made more quickly.
However, facilities are improving all
the time. 1t is a good deal easier
trip now than in the old days when
the passengers from San Antonio or
any other outside point, had to make
a stage trip of 100 miles from Alice
to Brownsville. Thas has been only
about seven years ago. 1t is hoped
as great an improvement in the speed
and comfort of the trip will be made
before the next seven years have half
elapsed.-San Antonio Express.

FRIDAY, THE 18TH.

Today is Friday, the 18th.

The weather almanac does not say
ii is going 10 rain. The water situa-
tion remains the same. No bond
issues will be proposed. The arc
lights at the 18th and 18th street
corners on Elizabeth street will re-
main dark. The lawyers in the dis
trict court will continue to file mo-
tions. The Herald will bid you good
morning, as usual.
Taken all in all. We are not ex-
pecting anything out Of the ordi-
nary.

DEMOCRACY AND THE FARMER

The article quoted in The Herald
yesterday from the pen of B. F.
YOakum, concerning the interest
burdens of the American farmer, is
a very able one, yet able as it is,
il but re-echoes the declaration of
the democratic platform on the same
subject. The condition deplored by
Mr.. Yoakum vas publicly recognized
by the makers of the Baltimore plat
form, which says:
"Of equal Importance with
Nne question of currency reform
is the question of rural credits
or agricultural finance. There
fore, we recommend that an in
yestigation of agricultural
credit societies in foreign coun-
tries be made, so that ii may be
ascertained whether a system of
rural credits may be devised
suitable to conditions in the
United States; and we also favor
Legislation permitting national
banks to loan a reasonable pro-
portion of their funds on real
estate security"
From the account given by Mr..
Yoakum of those credit societies, es-
pecially in France and Germany,
they are very well worth investigat-
ing. In the meanwhile let the
farmers themselves demand of their
representatives in congress that they
give time and attention to this most
important question. The farmers
should also remember that the differ
ence between the platform declara-
tions of the democrats and %republi-
cans lies in the fact that the demo-
crafts propose legislation that will
allow of the immediate use Of public
funds by existing financial machin-
cry, while the republicans propose
the creation of new and untried ma
chinery. The democratic position is
that the government is in a position
to do this work, having the means
now at hand, and is therefore bound
TO do it.

KING OF FRUITS.
To Eat a DURAN You Must First Over
como Your Sense of Smell.

COUt0 IO0T 0CfSC " fTFCt
The east furnishes in the DURAN one
Of the strangest Of fruits. 1t has been
called 1.-The king Of fruits, as the or
ange Is the queen" but there are many
who entertain no liking for it
There is this difficulty about the du-
rian. Its consumption presents the
same obstacle to enjoyment as a ripe
cheese. To eat a DURAN one must first
overcome ones sense of smell. The
odOr of the DURAN suggests limburger
cheese. onion sauce. brown sherry and
other inc~ongruities. 1t has also been
compared to the smell Of a limekiln in
full operation.
The Malays are excessively fond Of
the fruit. and those Europeans whose
sense OF smell is not overdelicate con-
tend that the DURAN Is like rich but
terry custard favored with almonds.
A British officer at Penang once
dined a member of parliament about
to leave for home. Among other deli
cacies an overripe DURAN was placed
upon the table. The guest, on being
pressed to partake Of it. declined. with
this remark:
eat may have been very good last
season. but If you will excuse me I
would rather not venture on 1t now"
The DURAN is as large as a mans
head and is covered with sharp spines.
