|. Dear Doctor:-Our sons baby, Is
months old, has always seemed to
have good health until this winter.
When she takes her daily maps and
at night when she sleeps she Sweats
until her clothing is soaking wet. Her
sleeping quarters are not warm, but
cool, with plenty of air passing
through Her sweating causes her to
have a. cold all the time and it has
settled on her lungs. What causes
her to sweat SO and what can we do
for her? What is the best to do for
her lungs? She has always been
healthy baby until this winter. She
does not eat much but takes her
mothers milk heartily. Please let us
know as soon as possible. We are
anxious. Our doctor does not do any
good.
(Answer) The condition is more or
less alarming and should inspire you
to use every effort to combat it. The
symptoms should not be suppressed
but the cause removed, or this child
is liable to consumption. The club
book, Vol. 2, had a series of lectures
on the home treatment, prevention
and cure of consumption. It also. con-
tains, which is much more important
just now, simple home method of
treatment for night sweats, and that
is what is troubling the baby at the
present time. Unless it is cured at
once the excessive weakness which
would be brought about would be very
dangerous.
This treatment is as follows: Take
one pint Of vinegar, g teaspoonful of
cayenne pepper and the same amount
of common salt. Boil it down one
half. Strain through muslin and ap-
ply it while it is hot as can be
borne. For such a small child it will
probably be we'll to take only half
This should be applied before the
child is put to bed at night Next
the body should be rubbed
with warm olive oil. Tt
should he rubbed thoroughly into the
skin so as not to leave the surface

Cret. l shal! begin to make a limited amount for the public market
 T do not know how much could be made without upsetting the gold standard. Perhaps 5000, 900 900 worth. Perhaps not that much. What ever the amount Is, the making of more would be mistake It would tend to reduce the value of what had already manufactured. You see, it isn't altogether altruism and political conservatism that keeps me from giving away the secret"
 Mr. Hunter talked very quietly, with scarcely an indication of un. usual interest None but the cool est of scientists, l felt. could hold such a belief without losing self control. If this man could make gold he could also destroy it's power. In an instant he could reduce every gilt edged security in the world to scrap of paper. He could pauper- ize every lord of finance He could rob the dollar of it's almightiness and put an end to the universal scram- ble for it. In a word, he could destroy capitalism, the present eco homie system in which commodities are manufactured for sale-a sys- tenn made possible by handy medium of exchange.
 By destroying the very basis of international credit he might incl dentally stop the war But what ever happened. before We could ad- just ourselves to the moneyless sit nation we would be sure of having the worst panic that ever blighted the earth.

Big Outfit Off for
 l atlanika Country

H. F. Lewis, the Honolulu capi- talist who is here to prospect ex- tensively on the Hughes placer properties in the Tatlanika country, chartered the steamer Martha Glow and left Thursday night for the mouth of Wood river with big out fit, consisting of F men and five pack horses. Accompanying MT. Lewis is w. G. Jack, California mining engineer, who came north for the purpose of exporting the ground MT. Lewis will probably return to Fairbanks within the course of the next few days and return Outside, but Mr Jack will stay in the Tat lanika until after the close of navi- gation.
 MT. Lewis brought three Empire drills to Alaska for prospecting pur- poses The drills are to be packed across country to the Tatlanika from the mouth of Wood river, where they were left by one of the incom- ing boats. If the prospecting is successful it Is probable that the company in which MT. Lewis is interested will install dredge in the Tatlanika next summer It is also probable that the John L. Tim mins idea of installing a power plant on the Totatlanika will also be fol lowed out.

AS for the Xray and wireless telegra- phy-they were absurd as absurd as the dreams of those ancient al chemists who thought they would some day discover how to turn or dinary metals into gold.
 Yet when, in 1903, MT. Hunter first publicly announced his discov- cry few took it seriously. It was seized upon as a newspaper sensa tion. and then forgotten Scientists practically ignored it. Financiers smiled MT. Hunter worked silently on. The public's incredulity or in difference allowed him freedom to work out the hundred practical prob lens that presented themselves.

RAILROAD NEWS

That he is well pleased with the work on the railroad now being done under his direction Is the statement of Commissioner Thomas Riggs. Jr. who returned early last week from a trip to Nenana He states that the clearing contractors are making good headway. It Is understood that several grading contracts have been let since MT. Riggs returned to town.
 The dock and warehouses at Ne. mana are now practically completed, with the exception of some stock which is expected to arrive from the Outside soon. A 30-ton powder house has been constructed about two miles from Nenana and the hos pital will be finished soon. Two houses for engineers of the commis- sion, an office building and com missary building are also about fin ished.
 The townsite survey work is now nearly three-fourths completed. The main street of the town will be 50 feet in width and the remainder of the streets 60 feet wide.

There will be a special meeting of the municipal council of the City of Fairbanks this evening It is be- ing held for the purpose of talking over the rates of the Fairbanks Telephone company, as regards the city and creek service. The meet ing was decided upon by the coun- cil at the adjourned regular meeting held last Thursday night
 The council talked over many mat ters of interest at the meeting Thurs day evening. The sidewalks of the town came in for their share of discussion and it was decided that the council will enforce the ordi- nance regarding them by building the walks and charging the cost of the same up to the adjacent erty have been given until August ' to comply with the sidewalk ordi- nance, after which date, if the walks are not completed or under construc- tion they will be built by the city.
 There is now a new traffic regu- lation ordinance on the city books. as the ordinance introduced several weeks ago at the instance of the Fairbanks Automobile club was pass ed Thursday evening. It as amend ed in one place to read that at least one white light must be at tached to the left side of all motor vehicles.

fundamental problems of light and sound
 Has he discovered how to trans mute other metals into gold? He says so. and those who know Mir Hunter find 1t difficult to question the seemingly incredible statement.
 And yet MT Hunter refuses. and has refused for fourteen years. to take anyone into his confidence.
 II dare not do it," he told mo. The greatest of financiers do not seem to realize what the giving away of such a secret means. If l should make gold cheap. would not only destroy the gold standard. upon which modern trade is founded. but I would destroy the possibility of any other workable monetary stan dard"
 Is 1t possible that any man in gold loving America could have discov- cred such a secret and have re- trained from using it for such a reason? I talked with MT. Hunter for several hours and concluded that it Is.

6O-YEAR-OLD POSTOFFICE
 SAVED TO COLORADO CITY.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Protests from the citizens of Colorado City have saved the postoftice at that place, which had been ordered dis continued June 30, because of the falling off in the business.
 Colorado City was the first capital of the state and has had post office for sixty years The receipts at the office had fallen to such a figure that for the benefit of the service the department had ordered that the city be made station from the Colorado Springs office.
 Citizens wired to the department that they would gladly forego the free delivery service rather than sacrifice the identity of their post office. The officers of the depart ment insist that the efficiency of the service would be bettered by substa tion arrangements, but they yielded to the sentiment of the citizens

Remember, there would be mil lions in it. millions overnight, for anyone who could by any sort of conspiracy get control of the for mula; that Is. there would be mil lions until the output became so plentiful as to upset the money sys- tenn. or until sentiment had dis counted the coming ruin and hur- ried it on.
 MT Hunter knows of only one person whom he can depend upon to keep secret That person is Rudolph Melville Hunter.
 He expects to provide capital enough to install gold manufac- turing plant on a large scale, in such a manner that no employee or officer in charge could by any chance obtain the formula. If he cannot install such plant, he points out, the secret would not be kept; and if the secret were not kept there would be no profit in the business, to say nothing of business in general being paralyzed. Just now he has set himself the task of perfectIng a thoroughly automatic plant.
 While Mir Hunter would not dis close any detail of the process, he freely stated that 1t involved the de- struction of the atom. An atom of gold, he said, Is comprised of the same electronic material as an atom of any other metal. It has a differ ent character because of different magnetic environment, due to the different association of its com ponent elctrons. In order to change the character of the metal, these magnetic conditions must first be stilled and the different association

 Startling as it may sound, all gold mines may, by notifications oI their processes, produce several times their present output in gold, without any materially increased cost of operation"
 Mir Hunter is not only sure that he has solved the mystery of the birth of the atom. but that he is at- solute master of the process. To change another metal into gold it must first be reduced to it's ele- ments." and then reduced some more Electric energy is the key; and few people on earth know more about the application of electric energy than Rudolph Melville Hunter.
 In his laboratory in Philadelphia. a holy-of-holies from which even his most intimate friends are eX- cluded, he has built the magic ap- paratus which aims to apply that energy to ethereal matter prepared on earth; process corresponding to natures treatment of ethereal matter in the sun and stars.
