"MINERAL RODS"
DECLARED FAKES

Whether gold, silver and other
precious and useful minerals may he
found in the ground by mean OF
mineral rods Is a question frequently
asked of the United States Geologi-
cal survey. The latest question OF
this sort came from a correspondent
In Vinemont, Ala, who states that a
man from Birmingham has one OF
these rods for locating minerals. that
he claims to be employed by the gov
eminent. and that the government
gets half OF what he finds. This ex-
pert mineral finders name Is stated
TO be Wise, which may or may not
have significance.
The Geological surveys replied to
this correspondent is that while an
ordinary compass, or dip needle
will be attracted to ores of iron.
nickel, and cobalt. which are mag
netic. IL will be affected by no other
mineral, and that so-called mineral
rods are fakes. Anyone claiming to
operate a mineral rod on behalf OF
the United States government Is an
imposter and should be let severely
alone. or reported to the police.

THE LIVER.
This Faithful Organ Is Never Lazy.
But II Is Frequently Overworked.
From The Hygienist.)

The liver is not only the larges,
organ in the body. but 1t does more
work and a greater variety of work
than any other organ. Physiologists
tell us that the liver has five func.
lions but We are interested Just now
only in its two principal functions
viz: caring for the digested food and
keeping the body cleared of poisons
and waste materials.
The liver stands as a great sen.
tinel between the mouth and the
other parts of the body. About every
thing o swallow, except water. has
to go through the liver before 1t is
carried to the body at large. When
you eat and digest more food than
your body can use up. the burden
falls largely upon the liver. The ex-
cess of digested meat Is destroyed by
the liver, and the excess of digested
starehy food Is stored up In the cells
of the liver. When your habits oil
eating are such as to cause indiges-
lion, much of the food ferments and
decomposes and forms poisons.
Here is where the liver is a real life
saver, for 1t destroys these poisons,
or as many OF them as it can. almost
as rapidly as they are formed, aud
thus II prevents a serious injury to
the body.
The man that INDUCES In alcoholic
drinks and the woman that eats
sweets are both putting an extra
burden upon the liver. And since a
large per cen of all drugs are either
destroyed or modified by the liver
the man that is always taking medi-
cine is also over-taxing his liver
with useless work. Many liver medi
cines contain poisons which the liver,
in Its loyalty to the body destroys be-
fore they can do harm.
As the food is burned UP by the
tissues, the waste is taken at once by
the blood TO the liver. Many of these
waste materials are poisons, and the
liver gets them out of the way be-
fore they can do harm, often by unit.
ing chemically two poisons to form
a simple. harmless distance easily
thrown off by the kidneys. This is
the other important work of the liver
Just like most people. the liver is
capable of doing only a certain
amount of work. When the liver Is
obliged to perform an excess of any
one kind of labor il is compelled 10
neglect Its other work. When you
force your liver to store up an excess
of digested food. and to burn up the
digested excess food of another kind
and to destroy. daily. quantities OF
food poisons from undigested food
you are overworking the liver; and
thus you make 1t impossible for the
liver to keep the blood clear of waste
materials and body poisons. Then
you say your liver is lazy, when in
reality II is working night and day to
keep you we'll, while you are making
tie load heavier than il can carry.

Of German affairs has said: If we can

The retrograde movement of the Ger

few days was not a retreat after a lost
battle, but merely a stratesical move,
according to a statement made today
by George Won Grivicic, Austro- Hungar-
ian Consul General in Philadelphia and
lieutenant colonel in the Austro- -Hungar-
ian army, in which he discusses the re-
cent operations of the Austrian army.
The Russians greatly outnumbered the
Germans and Austro- Hungarians, he says,
and. this necessitated a retreat in order
to gain time and not expose tho forces
of the Kaiser and Francis Joseph to the
danger OF a defeat
In the other theatres of the war in
which the Austrlans are engaged the
Consul General states that, according to
the latest official dispatches received by
him from his Government in Vienna, the
Austrian forces are everywhere meeting
with success.
The statement made by Mr.. Grlvicic is
as follows:
According to the latest oflcial infor-
nation, the German, Austrian and Hun
garian forces in the Russian theatre OF
war are concentrating in new positions.
The Russians are following them slowly.

forces during the last weeks is not a

and not to expose our forces to the dan
ger of defeat, which might be caused
by the numerically greater forces of the
enemy.
THE operations of the Austro-Hungar-
ian army in Servia are progressing very
favorably. Our fifth and sixth armies
have repulsed the whole Servian army
