They Are Competent.
In January, 1891, several colored Cit
zens of Chicago were in conference, and
learned with surprise that there was rot
in the United States, and perhaps not in
the world, hospital for colored people,
They at once resolved to have one, ard
with it training school for colored
nurses, and $500 was raised on the spot.
Small contributions came in rapidly,
and on May 4, 1891, the little hospital at
the corner of Twenty-ninth and Dear
born streets was opened to the sick of all
races and nations.
Similar institutions were soon estab-
lished in New York, San Antonio, Kan
sas City and other places, and now every
one who investigates it wonders why ii
was not done before. Colored womer
are confessedly among the best nurses

BE CAREFUL.

Its very important that people take care
of their health, especially during the heated
term. They eat too mrch, and then take
a drink of ice water. Now when the stom-
ach is lowered in temperature, by drinking
cold water, below a certain limit, and when
persons after a full meal actively engage
in work, digestion stops, and the result
is a deranged stomach. If this is ceten re-
peated it brings about dyspepsia. If you
are in this condition you need not suffer.
Go and get a box of the LAXATIVE GUM
DROPS and take them according to direc~
tons. They are the best thing IN the
world for stomach troubles. II they do not
act Immediately upon the bowels YOU may
rely o it that your liver is torpid and
YOU need a course of treatment. Continue
taking these drops every night and your
liver will soon be restored to its state OF ac-
tivity, your stomach will regain its wonted
tone, and you will be cured of your indl-
g~estion. Nothing equals this great remedy
for the certainty with which it acts andthe
ease with which it can be taken. These
Gumdrops resemble in shape, appearance
and size the ordinary umdrop of the con-
f~ectioner. Children take them readily
without knowing that they contain medl.

The constant evaporation at the sur
face of the ground causes the moisture
in the soil TO creep Upward over this
surfaces of those soil particles which
touch each other. Stirring the soil
checks this upward movement by put
ting air between many Of the particles.
To ascertain how much moisture Is re;
tanned by surface cultivation; F. Fl:
King. Mt the Wisconsin station tR. '91),
plowed and narrowed twelye-foot
strips in the spring, and summer-fal-
lowed them. One strip was rolled May
IA, and afterwards not disturbed except
to scrape off the weeds. Another strip
was frequently cultivated three inches
deep until July f3. The soil was a
sandy clay loan. underlaid at four feet
with sand. On May 20, the ground va
ter was found at a depth of seven feet,
and on July II was six inches lower.
Six times, samples were taken with a
soil tufe to a depth of six feet. from
neal the ten points marked in the dia.

weighed, then thoroughly dried and
again weighed. Thus it vas found
