Bruce Cation Says:>>
Why Heal Mans Ills, and Ignore soeiety's?

And he says:
Lucky? Well, they say wealth
isn't everything. I know now that
health isn't, either"
This little story is worth telling
at some length because it is such
perfect example of the dilemma
into which modern man has blum
dered.
He can master the physical world
as never before. He can whip foes
that were unconquerable a short
time ago. With his science he can
perform all sorts of miracles.
But the task of arranging his
own society so that any man who
is able and willing to work can
support his family in decent COM
fort-that seems to be beyond him.
What good does it do to snatch
man back from the jaws of death
if the man can't make a living
after he gets back?

IMPERIAL COUNTY'S
FORGOTTEN INDUSTRY


perial county residents, other than the
pride of a Californian, that this state
continues to hold its position as the
leading gold producing state in the
union. To those who know that Imperial
county itself rates high in the gold
producing list among counties of the
state, the information is more interest
ing.
During 1886 California produced $780,
10000 in new wealth by the gold yield.
1t was the biggest output since 1862. No
figures are available on Imperial coun-
ty's share of this total, but the percen-
tage is known to do credit to this county.
Gold production in Imperial county
is on the increase. Mining in the east
ern part of the county, given new life
during the last two years, has attracted
outside interests and outside capital
1t furnishes employment to a goodly
number of men.
Imperial county's place in the gold
producing picture is one which should
not be overlooked by organizations in
terested in publicizing their county.

down strikes. 1t remains for circus

far-sighted and interested in the
