Value Of Fruit Acids.

1t is thought that acid fruits induce
rheumatism. The contrary is true.
Fruit acids taken into the system by
a person, who has rheumatism act
beneiicially, and actually have the eff
feet Of increasing the alkalinity of the
blood. Experiments have proved this
conclusively. Thus a person who has
too much uric acid in the blood should
for u time eat fruit or acid fruit juices
in large quantities.

SYSTEM WILL BE SUCCESS
Little Doubt az to tho Possibility Of
the Use Of Wireless on
Trains.

l.. B. Foley, superintendent OF tele-
graph OF the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western railroad, who has had
charge Of the wireless telegraph tests
on the Lackawanna limited, the fast
train between Hoboken and Buffalo,
says that he considers the handling Of
wireless messages to and from NOV
Ing trains has passed the experimental
stage.
Only two difficulties need to be over
come, he said, to bring the wireless
service up to the efficiency of the rail-
o wire telegraph system. These
are the sending and receiving of mes
sages between the train and a station
when the train Is going at a high rate
Of speed on a sharp curve or through
a tunnel. .
The speed of the train on a straight.
away run has not affected the mes
sages, but sometimes, said Mr.. Foley,
when he train suddenly shoots around
1 curve or enters a tunnel while a
message is being received or sent the
continuity Of the message Is broken as
when a disconnection occurs in he
middle Of telephone conversation.
The message is picked up again as
soon as the train has rounded he
curve or left the tunnel, but, although
the distance in curves and tunnels Ia
short compared with the total dis
lance from Hoboken t Buffalo. for
example, Mr.. Foley wants the wireless
service SO nearly. perfect before 1t Is
formally opened for commercial and
railroad uses that at no time will the
train be out of communication with a
city where wireless service communi.
cation a be obtained, he thinks. By n
slight modification Of the aerial ad.
justment OF the instrument on the
train.
AT present n section of the Lacka.
wanna limited is equipped with the
wireless apparatus. On alternate days
1t leaves Hoboken at 1915 a. m. al
train No. 8 and Buffalo at $50 am. an
train No. 6. Wireless stations have
been erected at Scranton and Bins.
hamton, and 1t Is with these that the
train exchanges messages.
AS soon as Mr.. Foley has 8pishad
his testing and the wireless Ia but in
regular service, the railroad will build
stations at other cities and .eouiu
other trains. The plan Is to have the
wireless stations about fifty miles
apart from n end Of the line to thu
other.

SQUANOERING THE FUNDS

Not satisfied with providing
Offices for every political hack out
Of a job the Nevada Exposition
committee has engaged a press
agent to blow its horn and extol the
merits IF tn, gentlemen whose
chief duty seems to be how to
spend the 500, 900 appropriated
for making a suitable display at
San Francisco. At the present rate
of progress most of the money is
going into salaries and the COM
mission is sitting up nights striving
to invent new ways for diverting
the state funds from their proper
channel. Sam c. Durham, lately
of the New York Mining Age, has
been employed to press agent the
doings of the Nevada board and
his first contribution has come to
hand with a blatant boost for
George T. Mills, who is CT edi te
with preparing a display that will
be a revelation" to the d~enizens
of the sagebrush when they go
down to the bay to find how badly
their state has been misrepresented.
This system Of doing business does
not go with the Bonanza which
stands pat on the former PROPOSE
tion that such matters belong to
the advertising columns, where they
will be handled at regular card
rate. A ludicrous feature is the
appeal of the taxpayers Of the state
to come to the assistance of the
commission with voluntary contri-
buttons that will save the army of
retainers and array of superin-
tendents from doing anything at all
to earn their salaries. If the mine
operators, stock growers, farmers
and manufacturers r to be cajoled
into doing the work for which
others are paid it is mildly sug-
gested that the board might assign
the entire proceedings to volunteers
and dismiss the hired help that is
doing yeoman's service in eating up
the appropriation without making
any return.-BoGanza.

the Bonanza came to this ofire and

hams personal request for publica
tion. If the Exposition commission
can pay II lot of high ~salaried
officials to spend the states money,
it can pay for the necessary adver-
