The Possibilities Zeveloped.
The success of the Disc type of
Graphophone which uses flat, inde-
structible records, is largely due to the
fact that the Columbia Phonograph
Company, pioneers and leaders in the
talking machine art has developed the
possibilities in both the machines and
the records beyond all expectations.
It was able to do this because it is the
only company in the talking machine
field having a complete laboratory and
a manufacturing plant on a broad and
comprehensive basis. Its facilities for
experimentation and for manufactur
ing are on a very large scale. It does
not have to rely on inexperienced
manufacturers for any part of the pro-
duct it offers for sale. It makes its
own machines and its own records
from start to finish, which is a funda-
mental advantage of the first magni-
tude.
The Disc Graphophone is made in
three types, selling at $15, $20 and $30.
Seven inch records 50c each. ¥5 per
dozen; 10 inch records $1 each. $10 per
dozen. The Graphophone and Colum-
bia Records were awarded the Grand
Prize at the Paris Exposition of 1900.

time to call at their places of business

tom heretofore. Calendars for adver-
tising purposes are being used more
and more each year, and it bas got io
be a custom with the people to look to
the business men they deal with to
supply them with new calendars dur-
ing the Holiday season. Do not dis-
appoint your customers, Mr. Business
Man, if you value their patronage.
They appreciate a few nice calendars
and expect you to supply them.

one can afford to be without one. They
are just what the people of Somerset
county have long been clamoring for.

wall maps, and prices range from only
50 cents to $2.00. Persons who have
already ordered maps from us can now

CORRECT —ATTEST:
Mr. Garrett, Get Your Gun.
It is rumored here that at least eigh-
teen families will leave Boswell this
week on account of no work. There
seems to be scarcity of cars. Boswell
seems to be a phanton and a delusion
and a snare to many investors.—Somer-
set Democrat.
The above does not come from a very
reliable source, and we would advise
the “Aleck” editor to beware. Mr.
Garrett, our local superintendent of
the Merchants Coal Company, will tell
you that Boswell is all right. Other re-
liable persons, and disinterested ones
at that, say the same. Boswell will
never be as large as New York, but that
it will be larger than Somerset inside
of five years, there is little doubt. The
Somerset Democrat is much given to
slopping over on topics its editor knows
nothing about.

A Cold Wave.
The forecast of sudden changes in the
weather serves notice that a hoarse
voice and a heavy cough may invade
the sanctity of health in your own
home. Cautious people have a bottle
of One Minute Cough Cure always at
hand. E. H. Wise, Madison, Ga., writes:
“I am indebted to One Minute Cough
Cure for my present good health, and
probably my life.” It cures Coughs,
Colds, LaGrippe, Bronchitis, Pneumonia
and all Throat and Lung troubles. One
Minute Cough Cure cuts the ‘phlegm,
draws out the inflammation, heals and
soothes the mucous membranes and
strengthens the lungs. E. H. Miller.

some years ago, how to make a salve
from Witch Hazel that is a specific for

protruding Piles, eczema, cuts, burns,
bruises and all skin diseases DeWitt’s
Salve has no equal. This has given
rise to numerous worthless counter-
feits. k for DeWitt’s—the genuine

Gold and Silver as Compared With
Other Mineral Produets.
Some ten months ago a comparison
was made between the value of the
gold and silver products of the United
States and the value of other groups
of our mineral products as set forth by
the United States Geological Survey in
“Mineral Resources of the United
States,” for the calendar year 1900.
The annual volume for 1901, just issued,
permits a similar comparison for last
year.
In round numbers, the value of the
gold product was $78,000,000, and of the
silver product the ualue was $71,000,000
as money (coining value), and $23,000,
000 as metal (commercial value). As
metals, then. gold and silver products
were valued at a little less than $112,-
000,000; as money. they were worth
$150,000,000. The corresponding figures
for 1900 were $115,000,000 and $153,000,-
000—a loss for 1901 of over three
millions.
The copper product in 1801 was valued
at $87,000,000; the lead was valued, as
in 1900, at $23,000,000; and zinc was
produced to the value of over $11,000,-
000. The copper, lead and zine products
in 1801 were worth $9,000,000 more as
metals than our gold and silver were
worth as metals, although the value of
the copper product was $11,000,000 less
than in 1900.
The combined values of abrasive
materials, of chemical materials, of
pigments, and of other miscellaneous
minerals, amounting to about $38,000,
000 in 1901, show that they were worth
almost half as much as the gold pro-
duced, and about $5,000,000 more than
the silver as a metal.
The structural materials produced in
1901, the building stone, the clay pro-
ducts, the cements, valued at about
$182,000,000, exceeded the gold and
silver by $70,000,000, if the commercial
or metal value of silver is taken, and
by $32,000,000, if silver is taken at its
coining value.
Iron ore and its products, the metalic
basis of civilization, increased notably
in quanity, but decreased in still greater
proportions in value in 1901 as compared
with 1900. Yet, notwithstanding a loss
of nearly $18,000,000 in value as com-
pared with 1900, the pig iron produced
in 1901 exceeded the metal value of the
gold and silver by $120,000,000, and
their combined coining value by
$95,000,000.
Compared with the mineral fuels
coal, petroleum, and natural gas,
produced in 1901, the combined coining
value of the gold and silver is exceeded
by $292,000,000, and the combined
metallic value is as $112,000,000 to $442,-
000,000, an excess of $330,000,000 of the
necessary fuels over the precious metals.
