holiness preacher who braved q. rat
tlesnake's fangs to prove his divine
faith.
God win take care of It," the
writhing Teester told his backwoods
flock after the reptile struck him
twice Sunday night as he held 1t aloft
In his pulpit.
Spurning medical care, as did his
wife when she died of child birth sew

died the snake because Christ, as
quoted in Luke IS, said Thou Shalt
Take Up Serpents."
For years Teester had told his flock
his faith made him impervious to fire
and other human tortures. When the
snake bit him he fled screaming from
the pulpit, but regained his composure
short time later.
His arm swelled. His tongue filled
his mouth. His neck and back were
inflamed. But he still held to the
efficacy OF faith as opposed to medi-

And Saturday he appeared to be re-

SEES HIGH PRICES
BUT NO SHORTAGES
Production 20 Per Cent Below
Average; Crop Plan to
Be Modified

Washington. Aug. 1l.-(R-Food
prices will be materially higher next
year, says Secretary wallace. but no
shortage Is expected.
The drouth, which has driven pros
pective food and feed supplies down
to the lowest point In 80 years, Is
responsible.
In 1885 consumers will not enjoy the
customary supply Of sirloin steaks
and pork chops" Wallace declared,
but there will be plenty Of food to
keep everyone In the best of health"
Fridays crop report estimated that
production Of 80 principal crops will
be % per cent below the average OF
the past Is years. Wallace said
prices will necessarily be materially
higher" but "the essential problem Is
still the city problem Of effective
channels Of distribution"
The secretary also declared that
drouth damage revealed by the report
makes necessary very great modifica-
tons" in crop curtailment plans for
1885.
To avoid getting production out Of
balance again, however, 1T will be
necessary to have some sort Of con-
troll" even though acreage cuts are not
called for, he said.
1T would seem to be essential to
be In position to resume control In
1885," he said.

SILVER IMITATION

In New Money Being

similar policy would be applied to flu
ture purchases-which might pump
more than q billion dollars of new
money into circulation.

lance was In pointing to the possible
future course on the huge silver pur-
chases authorized by that law.
Observers raised their eyebrows at
three words In the treasury announce

the more expensive policy would not
be followed on the silver purchases that
recently included naturalization of
the nations bullion stocks.
Disclosure Of the treasury's silver

circulation per capita had dropped
from $42.46 to sal 80 during the month

AS WELL
AS Home BUILDING
ON U. S. PROGRAM
Keeping Structures in Good
Condition Is Best Economy,
Says Moffett
BY JAMES A. MOFFETT
Federal Housing Administrator
(CopyriGht, 1884, By The A. P.)

Copyright, 1884, BY The A. P.)
Washington. Aug. Ill wish to
emphasize that the federal housing
administrations modernization pro-
gram Is intended to apply just as
much to business structures Of all
types as to private dwellings,.
There are many reasons why the
owners Of store buildings, garages,
warehouses, factories, theatres and
apartment houses should invest money
at this time In needed repairs and
improvements. Keeping property In
first class condition makes for in
creased economy, efficiency, safety,
sanitation, and reduced maintenance
charges. And all Of these have a d.
rect bearing on income, profits and
property values.
I believe I am safe in saying that
just little checking up on the aver
age business structure will uncover
many places where repairs may be
made or improvements introduced
that would yield splendid returns on
the money invested In such altera-
tons.
AS an indication of our interest in
the undermining Of store buildings,
one Of the qualifications for loan in
surance by the federal housing adj
ministration sets forth that "notes
may be signed by lessees, other than
those which may be classed as own
ers, provided that the lease requires
the lessee to make alterations, repairs
and improvements. And provided,
further, that the final termination
date Of the lease is at least six months
beyond the final maturity of the note.
In such cases, a certified copy Of the
lease must be furnished to the fl
nancial institution at the time the
note Is purchased and must be re-
tanned by it as part Of its documen-
tary evidence Of the transaction"
It IS not difficult to imagine that
there are countless business buildings
in this country today that are suscep-
tible to some undermining or repair
ing in the interests Of greater eco
nomy. And economy In such cases
means increased earnings.
