A FUGITIVE DOLLAR
Anonymous Rhymster Sends Cash
With Copy to Courier.

Editor Thayer of the Morrisiylle
Messenger insists that contributors
to his paper send along their names
and he says:
"'This paper, like most of the lead
ing state papers, refuses to print com
munications that are signed for pub
LEGATION with any name but that of the
author
ANY man worthy of the name,
or who has any influence in his com
munity, ought not to be, and is not
ashamed to father what he says in a
newspaper.
Hiding behind the editor, stabbing
man in the back, etc, is relic of
the dark days of by gone years
Brother Thayer pursues the wise
course. And that reminds us that if
We have dollar that belongs to some
body, we can't guess who, and we're
"scart to deff'' somebody will come
and claim it.
The Courier also rather demands
that contributors to its columns indi-
vidualize themselves by their sigma
ture:
Not long ago some one favored the
Courier with quaint little poem, rath-
er modern in tone, enclosed some
initials, peach OF looking dollar
and request that the poem be given
"a god position" in the more than
valuable columns of the Courier. The
Courier's editor summoned outside
help in his frantic endeayor to locate
the owner so that the dollar aud the
epistle might be returned without un
necessary delay. All of said endeavors
were fruitless. No one claimed the
dollar or the poem.
The poem with its initials is still
in the office, but the dollar-don't
know where it is haven't seen it hang
ing around at all lately, must have
gone for one thing or another Yep
it's gone.-Swanton Courier.

Several different organisms produce
pus, and any CT all may produce rhcu-
matism when transferred to the joints
or the heart.
The physician today seeks for the
pus cavity when he meets Il patient
with rheumatism, and he cndcayors TO
clean it up. Rheumatic pains have
been stopped with magical prOmptness
10y simply extracting the offending
tooth. 1t is not always easy to find
the puS places in the hidden parts of
the body The y ray shadowgraph Is
essential in locating the trouble. 1t
shows definitely and accurately all
trouble about the roots of the teeth,
and its use is therefore of the first i'm
portance in ferrctihg out the puS in the

In the bony sinuscs Of the head. They

THE RATE or EXCHANGE.
Its Influence on the Stock Exchange
and Our Gold SurpIY.


presume that many readers pay lit
tie attention to the rate of exchange"
and have no idea that it is an impor-
tant factor bearing on the question of
the opening of the New York Stock
Exchange. When the old world wants
our gold, as it does now, it bids for it
and exchange rates go up.
We are debtor nation and must
Fay our debts abroad in gold. The
warning nations all need gold, and to
get it are willing to sacrifice their
enormous holdings Of American Sc
cGritics. If the Stock Exchange were
to reopen foreign holders would liQui-
date their securities and the drain on
our gold resources would be heavy.
On the other hand, foreign nations
need our cotton. wheat, corn. meats,
and now especially are calling upon us
for extraordinary supplies in the way
Of clothing, shoes and products that
they usually produce at home. For
these commodities the foreigners must
Of course pay lis in gold. If we can
sell more to them than they can sell
TO us the golden stream will flow in
ward and not outward.
Whenever conditions are equalized
exchange will go back to normal
basis and then the Stock Exchange
will be opened and we can meet al
the demands that may be made upon
us; hence the reason why the rate OF
exchange has such an important bear
ing on the opening of the stock mar
