typhoid to handle. The fly in nearly
every case bites the victim on the
face and this is followed in a short
time by blood poisoning. In som.
cases death ensues DIR. Beatty has
notified federal autho rites of the dis.
ease and made a request that q
special government physician be sem
here to confer with the state board
of health and examine existing cases
with a view to determining what can
be done to prevent and combat the
disease.
Last summer there were over fifty
cases In the two counties. and there
are numerous cases at the present
time. according to DIR. Beatty. The
sting of the fly perforates the skin
and in a short time. he says. the
blood becomes poisoned.
The disease is even worse than
the Rocky Mountain spotted fever"
said DIR. Beatty. This disease is
caused by the bite of a tick and at
certain times is prevalent In some
of the states of the intermountain
country. At present there are more
cases of this disease than ever before.
Usually the cases are more numerous
in vieinities where there are large

L. $. Gold &2.OOO. 0OO. 900: Greatest
Store in World.

Store In World.
There is more gold in the United
States than in n other country in
the world. The latest Washington
treasury figures show that on August
2. there was $1,000. 399,539 in gold
cash and bullion-the greatest stock
of gold of any country in the world
probably greater than any other two
countries In the world.
The supply of gold in the United
States is the greatest in her history
and she is still accumuIating it at the
rate of $4,000, 900 a month, which
was the amount added to the stock of
gold in July. or between July l and
August 2.
No nation in the world, ancient or
modern. eve had such a stock of the
precious metal. England today has it
is estimated. $500. 900 600. She has
been boarding the metal and urging
the people to use paper money.
The increase in the stock of gold in
the United States Is attributed to the
accretions from the balance of trade
which is now so largely in favor OF
the United States.
In 1907 when the United States had
about s1.612. 900 900 in gold, Great
Britain had about 1854 900, 900. The
other leading nations held as follows:
Germany. s1.o44.000. 900; Russia
s907 .000. 900; France, 1906, 000. 600,
Austria. 5000. 000. 900; Italy, $685.
900 900.
The gold supply of the United
States is distributed as follows:
Treasury assets 1925 ,076.S21; FEEDER
al reserve bank and their reserve
agents hold s6.629 .902: the amour
OF gold in circulation is s5965el. SAT
The rest is held in the minis as cas'
or bullion.
The month-end statement of circu

The White House has made pub
lie correspondence with Representa-

for a conference with President Will
son with labor's national council and
when it was refused on the ground
that the president had no time for
other than international affairs, wrote
Secretary Tumulty the refusal was

discover the heartfelt sympathy of the
common people
Mr. Buchanan added that If he could
not see the president he would issue
an open letter to the American peo-
pie.
