It is made from the whole wheat berry except the out side hull, or bran, which is a woody substance, irritating and indigestible. Bread made from this flour s not so white as that made from the pale white roller flour, but it is far superior for food as it contains all the, gluten, germ, and oily matter of the wheat and is much sweeter than graham or any other bread not sweetened artificially.

Mr. Hedges' letter is as follows: . To the Democratic County Central Com- -mittee of Clackamas couniy, Oregon : There is no doubt that tlie i-sne ou which te approaching campaign will bo, fought is that of the unlimited free coin age of silver at the ratio of 16 lo 1, with the provision that silver be mule a legal tender in all amounts fur all debt, both, public and private. The effect of such a measure, I sincere ly believe, would be to our country mo6t disaxtrous. There ean be no reasonulI ' doubt that it would moan, first, tepudia tiou to a considerable extent ; sho nd, ren dering uncertain many contracts now ex istent, and that shall he made during a v considerable period, which is ( greater evil than the making of inequiuliln hut certain contracts; third, a eon rartion in the amount of our coin inevitably it v ex portation and hoarding of all void and by debasement of the balance; fourth, silver niononie alism ; fifth, such a condition in our country, which will affect the poorer class most severely, a like of whirli Iuih never been experienced during tlie life of this republic; sixth, the bartering in our coins and the metals that shall constitute them by the " plutocrats," of whom the poorer of us seem reasonably fearful, to their advancement and at th exen , if ll ai In u fouvfnl ilaifputt It would mean much more; but (his is . softieieiit lo Uid'vm me o believe that the hU rvt el ' ii yw fi if , and )U . ..-. , . ttiifit. . ... .. . ranua on a i ,umi tuktt...

Therefore I tender vou my resignation of the office of chairman of your commit- -tee and ask that there be little delay In- acting upon it as time runs apace ami you must soon begin active work in tlie campaign.

Beavers- yille, III., savs: "To Dr. King's New Discovery I owe my life. . Was taken with La Grippe and tried all the physi cians for miles about, but of no avail and was tnven up and told I could not live. Having Dr. King's New Discover in my store I sent for a bottle and began its use and from the first dose bezan to get better, and after using three bottles was up and about again. It U worth its , eight in gold. We don't keeo store or house without it." Get a free trial at Cbarman & Co's Drag Store. Having boon elected by tho county central committee as its chairman wish to take this means to express my grcatful appreciation of the distinguished" honor and heroby do assure thee Jmmittco - and the people generally hearty interest in the cause of bimetallism. While the democratic organization is seperato and -distinct from that of the peoples party, thore is a common interest to bu sub served in secruing a rousing majority in this county for the Hryan and Watson electors and the two committees should co-operate in the use of all honorable means to that end. At the outset, while I am not mindful . of the few desertions from the democratic ranks of those closely related to banks and corporation enterprises I am, , gratified to note that the accessions to ourstandered will more than compensate tho losses and from present indications the vote in this county in November wIT" not fall short if it does not greatly excep t the combined vote of the democrats an T ' populists in June last. The campaign has so far- progressed un to indicate that the battlo will be fierce and eventful. The forces are already in the field ; on one side are arranged tin capitalists, the corporate wealthy thx aristocracy and a subsidised press, whila on the other are the produce., thewat't earners, the farmers and the plain people, who believe in equal rights. . The combat will tie between the masses and the classes. The rotatory of organ ised wealth advances the cause of. the one while tlie consciousness of a just cause impresses the other. I cannot. help bat feel that the destiny of orr democratic form of government is de pendent upon the coming election and a--failure upon the part of the people now to assert their independence may mean future submission to the greatest ! al ' tyrants, the money power. As to t! result, I have not the slightest doubt ol . Mr. Bryan's election, notwithstanding. earnest solicitude and brotherly love that is being proiessea by the capitalist m the working man's material interest, for I still N-lieve the pt-otile still have t!i majority and are iiertectly able to run the government on J.-ffereon at prin pies. Heiertfuily yours. J. J. Uooav.
