Ing that during the last 80 years there
had been shipped from the ports to the

through tropical regions.
The society had said that these ma

most horrible conditions of the slave

from which there was no escape, de-
spite passionate appeals to be allowed
to return to their homes in central

Rheumatic Throat

There are successful gargles that stop
soreness in the throat, but to prevent their
lncessant return, the blood must be put In

Influences all the functions Of the body to
neutralize the irritants or waste products
and to stimulate their excretion through

Rheumatic sore throat Is dangerous
indication, as 1t means that the blood Is
loaded with more uric acid than the KID

serious general disturbance.
The action Of s. s. s. stimulates cellular
activity. 1t prevents the accumulation or

For this reason uric acid that finds the
throat an easy prey to its breaking down

other words, s. s. s. prevents chronic con-

Of the body to secrete healthy mucus. Its
influence is shown in a marked improve

Prospecting on Private Estates.

The question of inducing PROJECTING
upon privately owned estates is also
one of prime Importance. The laws OF
many countries, holding that mining Is
an industry of prime Importance pro
bono publico, give to the would-be
prospector the statutory right under
certain conditions and limitations to
prospect beneath the surface of pri-
vate property. The owner is protected
in various ways, and shares in any
profits which may accrue from such
development work, but he Is not able
to prevent it. He must either mine
the ground himself or permit the ap'
plicant to do so; he cannot put the
bars on a 10,o00-acre ranch and say to
the world, There are mines here, but
forbid anyone to exploit them
neither shall l work them myself
Large tracts of promising mining land
are thus withheld from exploitation In
this country today, and rich ores are
waiting the arrival of the Columbus
who shall disclose their existence to
the world. The laws of the future
must some time make provision fol
the exploration of all such lands, and
it is not too soon to give the subject
serious consideration. = Engineering

Even If an official statement has
been given out that mouse was re-

the policemen of the district, as we'll

at the request of Rev. John r. Mackey,
pastor of the church, last January, and
since then has not been ringing the
hours as marked by the clock in the
steeple.
Even the lieutenant In the police
station suffered from the "creeps" and
visions of phantom bellringer and
a ghost In the belfry When tele-
phone calls began to come into the
station he dispatched four reserves
to the church.
When they arrived they found that

ever, and in the mans haste to get to

among those present.
The sheets were finally reassembled,
however, and the business proceeded.
But the mosquito was still present, or
