Prospectors Overtook Many Deposits,
However, Because of Unfamiliarity
With the Metal.

The metal platinum so much de-
sired in some of the chemical indus-
tries and for other purposes at the;
present is valued so highly that there
is much interest in locating new
sources for the production of this
valuable element. At present there
ia undoubtedly a shortage in this'
country in metallic platinum and its
■alts, due to the fact that by far the
largest amount of the world’s plati-
num comes from Russia. Only a very
■call amount of platinum is pro-
duced in this country, and that
comes mainly from the gold and sil-
ver bullion refineries, says Metal-,
lurgical and Chemical Engineering.
A. Lynn de Spain, chief chemist of
the Burn hart laboratories of Denver,
states that platinum is found in the
auriferous 6ands of the Iron Hill
placer, at Como, Colo. There is no
doubt whatever that platinum also
occurs in other localities of the state,
as, for instance, in the black sands
of Clear creek. Little or no atten-
tion has been paid to the finding of
platinum in Colorado, first because
the rich gold finds have completely
obliterated the importance of the
other rare metals, and secondly, due
to the fact that the average prospec-
tor is unable to recognize the meta!
or ores carrying the platinum. It is,
therefore, essential that more atten-
tion be given to spread the character-
istics of this metal so as to instigate
the search for this metal by the pros-
pectors.

Passing Show.
The beauty of a life of aervice ia
most serene when we behold such
ministrations as that of this nurse to
a stricken foe, Arthur Hunt Chute
writes in Leslie’s. Many romances
are woven in the hospital^ and a war
wedding is often a happy sequel to
the story. A rough, big>h«rted Aus-
tralian, who was in the next bed to
me in a base hospital, eonfided to me
the evolution of his heart since com-
ing under the ministrations of the
unrsing sisters.
“You see, mate, I’m what they call
a bushranger out in Australia. I’m
one of the hard one*, and I always
passed as a woman hater. I used to
look with contempt on my pals who
lost their heart upon a little bit of
fluff. I’ve played on the red all my
life, and my conception of woman
was beastly low. But thia hospital
business has opened my eyaa to some-
thing new in woman, something I
never dreamed of. I can feel it
cornin’, mate—some day I’m goin’ to
fall for one o’ these little girls aa
bad as the worst. That fair-haired
cove of the flying corps across the
ward there just worships the night
sister’s shadow, but I must confess
he’s got nothin’ on me."
“The fair-haired cove from the
flying corps” did have something on
the Australian, however, for he was
the Young Lochinvur who walked off
with the bride. A few months later
I recognized hie piotnaa hi an illus-
trated I/radon paper, over the cap-
tion, “War Wedding.” The picture
was taken just outside an old ivy-
covered parish church. A guard of
honor of his brother officers had
formed the arch of slender swords,
and under the gleaming arch, amid
showers of confetti, came the smil-
ing aviator with our sweet nurse of
the night watches leaning on his
arm.
JUST THAT
“A SPLENDID TONIC”
Says Hixson Ladjr Who, On Doc-
tor's Advice, Took Cardui
And la Now WelL
Hixson, Tenn.—“About 10 years age
1 was..." says Mrs. J. B. Gadd, of
this place. “I suffered with a pain In
my left side, could not sleep at night
with this pain, always In the left
side...
My doctor told me to use Cardui. I
took one bottle, which helped me and
after my baby came, I was stronger
and better, but the pain was still
there.
I at first let It go, but began to get
weak and In a run-down condition,
so I decided to try some more Cardui,
which I did.
This last Cardui which I took made
me much better, In ftfet, cure* me. It
has been a number of years, still I
have no return of this trouble.
I feel It was Cardui that cured me,
and I recommend It as a splendid fe-
male tonic.”
Don’t allow yonreelf to become
weak and run-down from wotnaiUy
troubles. Take Cardui. It should sure-
ly help you. as it kas so many thou-
sands of other women In the past 40
years. Headache, backache, sides che,
nervousness, sleeplessness, tlred-out
feeling, are all signs of womanly trou-
ble. Other women get relief by taking
Cardui. Why not you? All druggists.

To My Friends and Patrons:
I am trying to arrange my business so that in the future
1 can buy Feed, Coal, Salt, etc., in car load lots. In order to
do this I will have to pay cash for everything I buy, and of
course will have to sell for cash. By paying cash I can buy
in such a way that I can make you a better price.
In the future I must have the cash for everything that
goes out, regardless ot who it is. Those knowing them-
selves to be indebted to me, will please call at once and settle
their accounts, as I am forced to collect all outstanding ac-
counts in order to pay cash for feed I buy.
Thanking everyone for their business in the past and hop-
ing all will help us by paying their accounts at once, we are
