Often | have deplored the fact
that our people have seemingly spent
more time in studying the lives of
those who have lived and wrought
outside the borders of our State
than they have devoted to the study
of our own great and illustrious
men. We have been prone to feel
that the farthest hills are the green
est, that thing wins glory from its
being far, and orbs into the perfect
star we saw not when we moved
within its circle, that no good thing
can come out of Nazareth, that a
profit is not without honor save in
his own country. In this respect
we are like the old fellow who met a
stranger on a train one day. They
began to discuss the relative merits
of several big men. The stranger
mentioned Bill Jones. The old fel-
low said, eve can pass Bill by, he
lives in my town." Natural i'm

Gold Dredging
in California

The Great Valley of California
spreads out to the north and south
in low fluctuations and plains as far
as the eye can see. The great gold
dredging fields of California lie on
the belt of country where the Sier-
ra slope merges into the valley plain
but none of these fields Is crossed
by the Overland Route. One produc'
tive district is near Folsom about IA
miles south of Rocklin on American
River. This district produced gold
to the value of $2,49S,6OS in 1873
The Marysville dredging district
on Yuba River about 80 miles north
west of Rocklin produced S2,24O,4bb
in 1913, and the Oroville district on
Feather River about 20 miles north
OF Marysviile, $l,91S,O5O. the gold
is obtained by powerful electrically
driven dredges-huge floating scows,
some of them $50 feet long provided
with great buckets, linked together
in an endless chain, for scooping up
the gravel and with complete mach
inery for screening and washing the
gravel and recovering the gold
Once foated In a pond the dredges
are made to dig their way through
fields, or anything in their way
filling in behind them with washen
gravel. The gold was brought down
from the slopes of the Sierra NeVa'
da and deposited in recent geologic

The greatest war of history and the

The immediate danger of being
held as a spy, shot by mistake, or

cooled his desire for trip into the

to sudden realization that Switzer-

than equal those he had considered
somewhat of a sportsman, that it is
not necessary to journey to the
wilds of Patagonia or the burning

EATING WHAT YOU WANT

Not to be limited in his diet but to
eat whatever he pleases without dis
comfort is the dream of every dyspep-
tic.
Nobody can honestly promise to re-
store any stomach to this happy condi-
tion because all people cannot eat the
same things with equally satisfactory
results. 1t is literally true that what
is one mans food is another mans
poison" But 1t is possible to select
a pleasing diet from articles of food
that cause no discomfort and 1t is pos
sible to tone up the digestive organs.
When the stomach lacks tone there
is no quicker way to restore it than to
build up the blood. Good digestion
without rich, red blood is impossible
and DIR. williams Pink Pills offer the
best way to build up the blood. They
also have a direct action on the nerves
and as the nerves control the processes
of digestion, these pills are especially
good in stomach trouble attended with
thin blood and in nervous dyspepsia.
You can begin this treatment at
once because your own druggist sells
DR.. williams Pink Pills. Perhaps you
are not eating the right foods. Some
times the very things that people eat
for their health" are the things that
hurt them. A postal card request to
the DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Sche-
nectady. N. Y, will bring a free diet
book. Write for it o-day.-Advertise

WAR HAS SAVED
j. S. |NDUSTR|AL[Y
Blood of Europe All That Has
Saved This Country From
Another '93
Special 70 The Telegraph

Chicago, June 24.-Apprehension is
expressed by many persons over the
lopsided condition of financial affairs
the unprecedented demand for GER
tain of our products. the immense i'm
portation of gold, and the awkward
position in which European govern
ments find themselves with respect
to payment of the expenses of the
war. 1t is toward the correction of
their troubles that the European gov
ernments are now looking in their ten
ders of bonds to the people of this
country.
But as for our own inconvenience
in this connection one financier says:
IF it had not been for the European
war we should be at this time in the
depth of a business depression. Every
thing was tending that way before the
first of August. The reversal of the
foreign trade balance was going on at
a rapid rate, and the new tariff law
was inviting every European manu-
facturer to compete with our indus
tries.
1t is an unpleasant thing for us to
think of but the blood of Europe has
saved us from another 1898. Do not,
therefore. lament too deeply the pres
ent distortion of our finances. Do
not be too sorry that the floating gold
of the world is coming to the United
States. Do not be too sorry that many
of our manufacturers, who, but for the
European war would have been in
hard lines at this time, are rolling up
fortunes by the sale of munitions to
the Allies"

A Message To Thin,

An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 80 ms. of
Solid. Healthy, Permanent Flesh

Thin, nervous undeveloped men and
women everywhere are heard to say, II
can't understand why / do not get fat
eat plenty of good nourishing food"
The reason is just this: You cannot get
fat. no matter how much you eat unless
your digestive organs assimilate the
fat making elements of your food in
stead of passing them out through the
body as waste.
What is needed is a means of gently
urging the assimilative functions of the
stomach and intestines to absorb the
oils and fats and hand them over to the
blood. where they may reach the starry
ed, shrunken, rundown tissues and
build them up. The thin persons body
is like a dry sponge-eager and hungry
being deprived by the failure of the
alimentary canal to take them from the
food. The best way to overcome this
sinful waste of flesh building elements
and to stop the leakage of fats is to
use Sargol. the recently discovered re-
