In this opinion piece Silver Knight likens the gold standard to a fatal disease draining prosperity. It warns of temporary relief followed by relapse, citing manufacturing wage cuts and financial slavery as the outcome, while condemning sensational gold papers that soothe the public.
Free coinage would unsettle minds and withdraw gold
The author argues that free coinage would unsettle only the minds of money changers and Shylocks, not the 60,000,000 general population. The government would still need to buy gold from Europe or Rothschilds, and alternative metals would not differ in effect from current conditions.

New Electric Bath Treatment for Sunstroke Aids Quick Recovery
The Sun reports a shift from warm drinks and hot head applications to immersion in very cold water for sunstroke. A new electric apparatus lowers the patient into a tub of iced water, keeping only the face above water until the body cools. The device, designed by Lewis Stimson, moves on tracks and transfers patients from stretcher to bath with minimal jarring and less exhausting work for staff. Hood's Sarssparilla and Hood's Pills are advertised for relief of tiredness and indigestion.
