.PEK VALLEY SOME DAY
May RIVAL KLONDIKE

Saloniki. (by mail).-The valley of
the PEEK, in northern Serbia, which the
Germans occupied early in their
Serbian campaign, may ono day rank
with the klondike, for most Serbians
believe that 1T is rich in gold. Though.
the main deposits nave never been To-
Gated, the peasantry for ger erations
have made a slender income for pan
nings of wash gold, coming, it is be-
lieved. from a rich quartz reef far III
in the hills.
The total output of gold from the
smaller placer workings has averaged
about 10000 a yea for several gem
erations. Occasional nuggets of con
siderable size have been found, anG
there is evidence that the Romans
drew gold supplies from this region.

A CALL FOR E L

For heavens sake, SWAIN | said,

then he turned toward me.
How did you get this, Mr.. Lester?'
he asked.

But how did you know it was
thrown over by Miss Vaughan?"
That was n easy guess" I said,

He paused an instant, as though
nerving himself to speak. as though
asking himself how much he should
tell me. Then he came toward me
impulsively.

be married" he said. Some persons

Caused by Disease of the Kidneys

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
we'll known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
longer pour forth waste, uremic poi
soning occurs, and the person dies and
the cause is often given as heart dis
ease. or disease of brain or lungs.
1t is a good insurance against such a
risk to send 10 cents for a large trial

Do We Want a Tariff commission?

FROM COlller S.
The present argument for scientific adj
ministration of tariff laws is based on
sound logic; it should be based also on
clear thinking. The most obvious general
purpose of Il scientific tariff policy is to
own country by shifting import taxes as
conditions change.
1t should be noted that this method
meets only part of the problem. A manu-
facturer is not helped much il foreign
control of raw material prices outwcighs
his protection. Germany has aided her
manufacturers by careful attention to lust
this factor. and probably any tariff com
CIR, take hold Of the question of export
duties. This mean an amendment TO the
federal constitution.
Import and export duties are only two
featured articles. Ocean and railway
freights are also of great Importance. and
an effective commission would have TO
work in close harmony with an Interstate
ers and with a great statistical bureau
devoted to gathering current trade facts
This sounds like a large order. but it is
only a brief list Of the. essential impIe-
ments. The important changes would he
in the Capitalization of our government
and IN the much closer working relations
between government and business. The
success Of Germany's tariff machinery has
been largely due to team work between
the great commercial associations and
government officials. 1t Is impossible for
anyone TOY become an industrial multimiI-
lionaire in modern Germany without be-
coming the kaiser's friend. Scientific tar
iff Is not an abstraction, but the practical
employment in every day affairs of the
nation power for the nations economic
gain. 1t has its saoddy side in class in
trigue and s~elfishness, but the method will
be more and more used in the trade rival
4tes of the next few years.

spend the last hours of the old year in
eating and making merry around the
midnight supper tables. There will
also be many family reunions and in
almost every case the parties will re-
main up to see the old year out and
