Red is the color of dangur, whether on the semaphore or on the skin. When the face is reddened by eruptions, when boils break out on the "'iA body, or the angry red ot sores and ulcers is displayed in the flesh, it is nature's Wi danger signal. The blood is obstructed and tainted by impurities, and there can be no safety until the blood is made pure. Dr. Tierce's Golden Med ical Discovery purifies the blood, and removes the effete matter which clogs and corrupts it. It cures piin )les, boils, eczema, scrofula, sores, ulcers and other consequences of impure blood. "I feel greatly thankful for what your medicine has doue lor me," writes Mrs. Clins. Hood, of Kalkaska, Mich. "I suf fered with scrofula of the head for twelve years. Tried every kind of medicine that i heard of ':.ut found no cure. Everyone that looked at my head said they never caw anything like it. The last doctor I doctored with before applying; to you I c;ot worse everv dav. Was so miserable that I was unable to do any work at all. Alter taking two or three bottles of your 'Golden Medical Discovery' and usitiir the local treatment you prescribed for me, I was cured and my head was entirely free from scrofula." Accept no substitute for Doctor Pierce s Golden Medical Discovery There is no other medicine which is " just as good" for diseases of the blood and the eruptions which are .caused by the blood's impurity.

Criticism has arisen in some quarters because the law is not sufficiently elastic to authorize various small projects of individual interests, and to permit a more general distribution of funds throughout certain states. What ap- peaVs to be the slow progress of the work is also stated to be a matter of criticism. The irrigation fund, accumulated . 1 i- : v.rt Tl trom the sale ot puouc lanua m mo states and three territories to which the irrigation act applies, now amounts to a t,.tal of $16.19. 83(3. This fund has been 1001 accumulating i mo ncaau.j In many states, radical changes in the water right laws will have to be made before irrigation projects can be under taken under the act. Nevada has al ready changed her Iaw8 in conformity with the act. It has developed, contin ues the report, that the states having the largest fund are those in which irri gation is least impoitant. v'niiuuiit Minister Says Any Delay X Cause I ndue Incitement. Washington, Dec. 11. M. Buna-Va .ilia, the minister from Panama, today ha J a long conference with Acting Sec retarv of State Loomif, the nature of --which he would not disclose. When . - legarding the reported attempt to . .-reata a division among the members of ihe Panama Canal company and its iirsbable effect on the ratification of the .mna! treaty by the United States senate vi. Buna-Varilla said while the matter j,; a coujp!eted so far as Panama is con ;er:,od, it is advisable to move quickly, ''because delays tend to affect the imag ination, and so long as a thing is un v.settled, complications are likely to arise. He declined to enter into a discussion -re-garding any action which the Farjama 'Cnal company may take. Some of the meabers of the Colom bian contingent in Wahington are of 'he opinion that the agitation in Faris of this question is simp'v an opening of '.he bitter con'rover6y that raged for Home time between the c inflicting inter nets in the origins! Panama Canal com V&ny, and !he reorgrn'zed company. Genera' Meyes, Dr. Herran and Wayne McVeagh were in conference today for ome time at the Colombian Legation, preparing a statement setting out the Colombian position.

Mr. Thomas said this morning : "The Ore gon sht-ep find a r ady sale on the Calif ornia market, and in some cases are preferred to th sheep of our state. It does not do, however, to ship the sheep direct to the maikat, for there is consid erable shiirkage in treir weight, caused by the hard trip. They wid command a much letter price if they are fed on hard feed tor a week or two after they are landed. Nearly all te sheep of California are fed in the yardn before sold. In tact, they can hardlv be sold rnzht from the pasture. "Thesh'ep market in California better this year than it was last. We are paying the Oregon owners about 82.50 per head. In about three weeks we will return for another large consign ment. "The cattle market is bad compared with lat .'all. The prices are much lower. The depression of the eastern nnrk.t iu th .ause. Cattle which sold there laet fall at 50 per head will not bring $:." per head this season, or a de cline of .15. Many of the cattlemen ate not selling this season but will winter their holdings.
