- FOR OLD AGE
To the old, as to babies, the
even balance of health is more
important than anything else
in the world. The possible
health, in age, is not high and
strong ; it is only even.
There is no end, but death,
to the trouble that comes of its
loss. It ought to be watched
like a baby's.
Scott's emulsion of cod-liver
oil for very old and very young
in different ways is the food
to secure this even health.
We'll send you 1 litdc to try, If you lik.

L'ol. J. S. Crawford, who 18 at
present fiTfUis city aud owucr of tbe
celebrated Cleopatra Copjier claims of
IV! Norte comity, Cal., is one oft be
lending geologists of tbo coast He
also Klongs to a group of prominent
piouoers wbo blazed tbo Western
trails, and most of whom have gone
to claim their Great Howard. .
J. S. Crawford was bom in Ediu
borough, Scotland, over 70 years ago.
In 1S37, when bnt a small lad, ho
came with his parents to Philadel
phia, where tbe family remained and
wbero young Crawford received his
I education. He graduated from the
University of Pcuusylvania and ser
ved timo with tbo English Engiiucis
at tbo closo of the war
When interviewed by a Courier
representative and asked concerning
his war record, the Colonel's eyes
sparkled with pleasure at the thought.
Ho has a record of which he 11111V
well fiol proud. "1 eon hi spend days
doing nothing bnt telling my exper
iences ns a soldier and scout" said he,
"but I dnu't want to weary you with
that. I have fought in 21) battles mid
hi'cn 111 11)1 skirmishes mm curry a
number of bullet scars ns a mtuuetito
and reminder of those days on the
Western border. I havo fought und
worked with "Buffalo Bill" Cody,
Bill Ilirkock, and Bill Ingram. I
was with Pollard iu the cleuniivg out
of tbo North Bark Divide, up in
Dakota. I have mined in all of the
priut'iiial districts from the lireal
Lakes to central Old Mexico and all
of the camps of the Western states. "
Col. Crawford is a member of the
Geological Survey at Washington
and of tbo North England Federa
tion of Newciistle-On-Tyne. Ho was
ordered by the late President SIcKin
ley to go to tbo Philippines and make
geological investigations for the Sur
vey at Washington, but could not ac
cept the trust because of his age.
Col. Crawford was the discoverer
and is the manager of tbe Cleojuitra
group of copjier olectruiu claims in
the Diamond creek district of Del
Norto county, Cal., which are attract
ing wide-spread attention. It is re
garding this discovery that Col. Craw
ford delights to talk, it being the re
sult of many years hard work, close
observation and deep study.
'I havo niado the forces of elec
tricity and magnetic cnrrenls. my
study since tbo work of .blazing trails
and righting Indians ended. Copper
electruni as defined by Dana, and for
which I have been searching many
years, I havo found in quantity in
Del Norte county, California. This
metal, or combination of metals, is an
alloy of copper, gold, silver, .inc and
iron. These ehi'trnm ores are found
running along stratifications of asbes
tos and following tbo courso of the
Gnat Copper Pole which extends
fioni Mr. Shasta to Northern Alaska.
Ill Northern California, where these
stratillcalions are most prominent, Im-
Ing nearer tbo surface, they have un
til recently been known as volcanic
erupt inns. This I do not find to be
the case. Their apiHarance in this
regard is duo to the radiations of
electric currents along the Great
Copper Pole, which has resulted in
tbo total loss of all lead, next the
loss of metallic iron or nearly so as
the remaining values of this are never
nioro than i) per cent leaving copper
as a ba.so and gold and silver as an al-
loy.

Mrs. K. A. Wade, Nov. 21, at 3:30
p. m.
to Fiorrr the liquoh kvil
The live days' meeting of tbe Society
of Friends Oct. 2T, at their closing
session, issued tbo following call to
all tho Christian churches:
" Wo are conlidcnt In tho belief that
the consensus of opinion in tho pro
fessed Christians of our land is op
posed to tho evils of tho liquor traftic,
and wo find a want of co operation iu
practical effort to give effect to this
opinion, because none of the prop
ositions heretofore made bus met the
approval of the general judgment of
Christian people. Wo rccogni.o that
this is the case In our own body, nnd
we believe that it is likewise true of
others. As a result, (he church exerts
far less iiitluence than It should to
prevent tho evils produced by this
great cause of poverty ami crinn and
which also is a most serious obstacle
to tbe spread cf the llospol.
"We are deeply impressed with the
conviction that an earnest effort
ihould hu made to ascertain in what
way Christians can expect any united
iiitluence ill this cause, nnd by what
means they may work together. ' I'p-
ou what proposition c:cn wo obtain a
practical agreement. Wo ' frankly
confess (but we are not competent to
solve tho problem, but wo boliove
that by united inquiry nnd a pravciful
seeking or divine enlightenment, with
a willingness to approach tbo subject
with no open mind, tho united church
may liml it way by which we can
serve Ibe cause of Christ and tho good
of mankind in seeking tho ultimate
liiniiialinii of this stupendous evil.
"We then ore invite the governing
bodies of the various dcuominal ions
of Christians iu the I'lilted States to
appoint delegates Iu represent them in
a conference to bn held in tho c i I V of
Washington, to begin on the second
Wednesday of March in tho year lUOfl.
Tho decisions of this conference
should be reached only iu practical
uuauiinity, and therefore it is un
necessary to indicate any limit to the
promised representation. Wo issue
this invitation with an bumblo reali
zation of tbo suiaUucHS of our body
as compared with ninny others, but
wo do it under a (Im p sense that this
duly has been laid upon us, aud thai
Oud will use the proposed instru
mentality for the accomplishment of
great good to mankind and for the
