j,ih 11 Hays Hammond, after
expressing Ihe heliet that dur
ing the next decade, at least,
there will be no diminution in
gold production,” pauses before
ho adds, in substance, lhal with
regard to* discovery of new
sources of supply almost any
thing can happen. Gold is where
you find il, he says, in confirma
tion of the experience of many
who have preceded him. This, he
points out has been exemplified
in a section of Ihe Hand which
geologists would not call promis
ing. So it may he lhal future in
vestigations in Soutli 'America),
Africa and Asia will result in Ihe j
discovery of deposits that “may i
contribute in an important de
gree to I he world’s output of!
gold." ;
Whol e Mr. Mammon.i (s musi i
positive is in relation to forth-j
cr improvements in metallurgical j
processed of a character calcu- j
lateil to increase the increment i
by extraction from the ore. He
holds that inasmuch as these
methods have already reached a
high slate of perfect ion—many
present-day processes extracting'
as high ics '.mi per rent of the gold
ore contents—a maximum effi
ciency has hern to a great ex
fent discounted. There will, he
admits, lie economies in the pro
cesses themselves, that will cuiunl
lo the profit of the* reducer. There j
may, and probably will, lie* great- !
cr. economy hereafter in the min-|
ing of the* metal. Taking all the
factors into consderalion, the*
outlook is against diminution of
fin* supply of the metal. Farther |
than this it is impossible to go; j
farther than this it is unneces
sary lo go at this lime*.
Unquestionably, knowledge that
the output would not be greatly
increased in I he future* were such
k owledge obtainable, would go
far toward solving the problem
of establishing an unvarying
standard of values. Hut no such
knowledge is within human
reach. Only a small part of the
earth has been prospected. There
are immense areas still untrod
den by the* gold hunter. In this
respect, as in many others equal
ly or more important, mankind
must confess absolute ignorance
as to the yield eif the continents
and the* coming centuries.-Chris
tian Science Monitor.

. Religion.
Religion discloses to man the
signilicance of the one eternal
law which as the law of duty
guides the free and noble and as
the law of nature governs ignoble
instruments. The religious man
comprehends this law and feels
it living within himself as the
law of (he eternal development of
the one life. Row each individual
monument of our earthly life is
comprehended in that eternal de
velopment of the one original di
vine life he cannot indeed un
derstand. because the infinite has
no limit and therefore can never
be embraced by him, but that ev
ery one of these moments does
absolutely lie contained within
this development of the one life
lie can directly perceive . and
clearly recognize. Wihat was. the
law of duty to the moral man i<*
to him the inward progression ofi
the one life which directly reveals
itself as life. What is the law
of nature to others is to him
the development of the outward
and apparently inanimate mani
festation of that one life.--Jo
hann fiotllieh Fichte.

Economical
Ironing
A
To iron economically
you must not waste
heat.
Ironing with ordinary
flat irons is very waste
ful of heat; most of the
heat goes up the kitchen
chimney; a lot of it is •
wasted in charring the
ironing pad and in
scorching the clothes.
Ironing with a
G-E Electric
Flat Iron
is quite different — all tht
heat is in the iron, ready to
go into the pieces ironed in
stead of going into the Boom
or up the kitchen chimney.
None of it is wasted.
To use only the amount of
heat actually needed for
ironing, be it either heavy
damp pieces or laces,
embroidery or other light
goods is real economy.
That’s why G-E Irons are
used in thousands of homes
throughout the country.
We keep all sty les and sizes

It i a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
if a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If y’ou drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preferjnce to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home pr duct; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
