Platinum In Coins.

The only instance in which platinum
has been used for coins was by the
Russian government between the
years 1928 and 1915, when they made
pieces of 3. 6 and II rubles Coins
and medals have been struck in this
metal by other governments simply for
commemorative or experimental pur-
poses, but never for circulation. like
the case of the Russian government.

was aboet half that of gold.

The human voice has more or less
marked influence on all animals. In
managing horses especially the voice
is of the greatest use 1t should be
quiet and, though confident and mas

Purity Gives Power.

There are still many pers ms in the world
that need to be impressed with the fact that
the purer the blood is the greater is the power
OF the system to remove disease and the less
the liability to contract it. Persons whose
blood is in good condition are much less likely
to take cold or to be long troubled with it, or
than are those whose blood is impure and
therefore impoverished and lacking in vitality.
The best medicine for purifying the blood is
Hoods Sarsaparilla. and persons suffering from
any blood disease any want of tone in the
system are urged to give this medicine trial.
1t is especially useful at this time of year.

OLD GLORY.

Thirteen stripes Of white and crimson,
Thirteen stars of field of blue
Thus was made the first Old Glory,
Emblem of the nation new.
Now the flag that waves above US,
On It's field bears many stars
One for each new State that's added
And retains the thirteen bars.
But we love it just as dearly,
And to it we'll prove as true,
As did those brave hearts who loved it
When Old Glory first was new.

URGES FOOD EXPLORATION
David FairchlId Says New Foods
Could Be Found.

That the United States Government
should finance trips for exploration of
foreign agriculture was the statement
Of David Fairchild at the meeting of
the Botanical Society Of Washington at
the Cosmos Club last night
He said that IL the Government would
pay for investigations Of foods, an in
estimable number of new foods could
be added to the variety already eaten
here. That hundreds OF species of
foods were unknown was illustrated by
the fact that in the past few years,
more than 100 different kinds OF melons
have been discovered, when it was prev

the job alone. In a remarkably short
time the flat tire was removed, a new

At Mt. Vernon Sunday and his wife
were wonderfully impressed. They
said ii was inspirational to visit such
a shrine and that they would remem-

visitors were escorted over all the
grounds and, through each of the

Filled With Ecstasy.
The evangelists son and his wife
stood for some time on the brow OF
the hill overlooking the Potomac and
seemed to be filled with ecstasy over
the view. The quaint and picturesque
Virginia country through which they
passed ELECTED many EXPLANATIONS Of
joy and surprise from them.
Returning to Washington the Wis

ever been in Washington before and
they thoroughly enjoyed the sight

Many Trips.
As Sunday and his wife passed
through the gate at Union Station to
take the 4:25 train for New York,
they assured DR.. Vincent and Mrs.
Vincent that they would make many
trips to Washington before the be-
ginning of the campaign, and would
look forward to a protracted stay
with most pleasurable anticipation.
1t is expected that Billy Sunday
will approve one of the sites within
the next ten days, and that by the
latter part of January his son will
return to Washington for another
conference with the local committee.
Following this conference, according
to DR.. Vincent, the location of the
tabernacle will be made public.

in its influence on the human system
as that the morning follows the

That this is proven conclusively it
il only necessary to listen TO the
statements of well-known local peo-

Selected from a mass OF written tes-

whose husband liz a well-known and
popular conductor on the Penna. X. T.
She tells how her husband was re-
lieved of a bad case OF stomach trou-
BILE by Plant Juice. as follows:
my husband was sufferer for IL
years with his stomach; everything
he ate fermented and formed a gas
and he dreaded to sit down to a meal
and could not even retain piece of
toast on his stomach: he could not
sleep at night. as the gas pressed
against his heart and gave him such
pain. and he had TO sit propped up in
bed all night. lie was very nervous
and his liver and kidneys were badly
affected: he had terrible pains I'm his
back and side. We had read of the
wonderful cures that Plant Juice
had made in other cities, and he con-
cluded. a. a last resort, he would try
a bottle, although he was very much
of ever obtaining relief,
as he had spent hundreds OF dollars
for medicines: but the only thing that
relieved him was Plant Juice. He has
taken two bottles, and the result has
been marvellous. He can eat anything
he wants. is not nervous, and can
sleep fine at night. Plant Juice has
made n new man of him. and he is
glad to recommend IL to others"
The plant Juice Man Is at The Peo-

Streets. where he is daily meeting the
local public. and introducing and eX-
planning the merits of this remedy.
