THE DREAD PNEUMONIA.
1t Strikes Its Victims Without
Any Warning.
SIGNS OF ITS COMING.
Its Ravages Are Increasing. What Can
Be Done TO Stay Its Progress?

During the month of January Just past
the ravages from pneumonia have been
appalling. In the city of New Y ork alone
the deaths from the dread disease number
more than 600, and judging from recent
telegraphic reports we doubt not that the
mortality has been cerrespondingly large
10 other parts of the country.
For reasons unknown to us. says the
New York Sun in recent editorial, the
mortality from pneumonia has risen very
greatly in recent times. Up to two years
ago the average annual number of fatal
cases of it was under 1000; but in 1892 the
number was 5841. and last year 6476. The
medical faculty ought to be able to give
some explanation of this serious fact, and
we should think, might be able to find
some more effective means of dealing with
the NEST deadly of all the maladies with
which the city is affiicted. While they are
engaged in trying to discover an improved
method Of treatment, people must strive
to secure their own safety against the dis
ease by avoiding the causes of it, so lar as
may be possible. Ii it once gets bold OF
the system there is danger in trfiing with
it.
Pneumonia results from exposure,
changes Of weather, prevails more among
men than women, more among the appar-
emily healthy than among the feeble. We
are told the disease is Invited by a certain
condition of the system, Indicated by oc-
casonal chills and fevers, a tendency to
colds in the throat and lungs, rheumatic
and neuralgia pains, extreme tired feel
ings, short breath, pleuritic stitches in the
side. hot and dry skin, loss of strength and
vitality.
A celebrated New York physician toll
the Tribune that pneumonia was a sec
Ondary disorder. the exposure and cold
being simply the agent which develops
the disease already dormant in the Sys-
TEN, because the kidneys have been but
partially doing their duty,
In short, pneumonia is but an early ndI-
cation of a Bright's diseased condition.
This impaired action may exist for years
without the patient suspecting it. because
no pain will be 'elt in the kidneys or their
vicinity, and often it can be detected only
by chemical and MICROSCOPE cal examine a.
ton.
The disease Is very obstinate. and if the
accompanying kidney disorder is very far
advanced recovery is impossible, for the
kidneys give out entirely and the patient
is literally suffocated by water.
The only safeguard against pneumonia
is to maintain vigorous condition of the
system, and thus prevent Its attacks by
using Warmers Safe Cure. which is the
standard and only known remedy for ef-
fectualy restoring full vitality TO the kid
neys. 1t does not pretend to cure an at
tack of pneumonia, but 1t can and does
remove the cause of and prevent that dis
ease If taken in time.
1t is tn tpart of wisdom to foresee the
result of neglect and to be governed ac-
cordingly.

There is no other locality, even the
boosted climate of southern France, that
can show such stable and equable
range of heat and cold. The health seek
or need fear no sudden changes. A little
attention to clothing and he can bid colds
and inflammations defiance. In cases of
death from tubercular disease the New
Mexico rate is only in 1000.
This is the lowest known record, and it
must be remembered that the local con-
tingent of consumptives is daily aug
mented by the immigration of those who
seek respite from that dreaded scourge.
The record of deaths at Santa Fe ia
much lower than the territorial average
In New England the consumptive death
rate is % out of every LOCO of the COM
munity; in Minnesota it is II, and
throughout the southern states six per
1000. This city enjoys the spring eli
mate of northern Illinois and Indiana;
the summer climate of Wisconsin, Michi-
gan and Minnesota, and the winter
temperature of southern Illinois, Indiana
and Tennessee. This, however, is only as
shown by the thermometer. The dry
tonic air of the mountain altitude fills one
with vivacity and health, and so strong is
the influence of the ozone and electricity
on the nerves and system that acclimation
is wonderfully rapid. This of itself is
great boon. Cases are on record of in
crease in the chest measure of immi-
grants here of from four to seven inches.
NATURAL ATTRACTIONS.
Besides this Santa Fe lies in a most
picturesque valley. 1t is ut the entrance
of splendid canon, Astounding in natural
curiosities. 1t is also the gateway of the
Pecos National park, where fish aud game
abound. Within easy riding or driving
distances there are over forty places of pic
turesque aud Of historic interest. Among
which may be mentioned the old adobe pal
ace, first erected shortly after 1908, from
which the Spanish viceroys ruled this
great province. The present structure
dates from about ZIG; but it is full of
interest, as every room is cunsecrated by
the memory Of thrilling events. In this
building Gen. Lew Wallace w,ote his
famous Ben Hur.
The chapel of San Miguel, was built in
1870 aud still stands. By its side is the
oldest house IN the United States. TIE
walls of the old cathedral date from 1922,
but the rest of the structure IL of more
modern date. Within Convenient dis
tances are the Indian pueblos Of Tesuque
and Nambe; in side canon of the Santa
Fe are the delightful Aztec springs, while
about nine miles up the main water
course is Monument rock. The road
thither is one of surprising loneliness.
To the south of town is Aqua Fria, and
the famous turquoise mines pronounced
by Tiffany the finest in the world; and
beyond the Rio Grande are the San Ilde-
fonso Pueblo and the curious cliff dwell
lings.
Other points of interest to the tourists

Already the old veterans, their families
and friends, are figuring as to probable
cost of trip, and deciding which route to
take.
To enable them to make the journey
at reasonable cost, and plan in advance
for this, their great jubilee time, the
Santa Fe route has just notified the chair
man of the Western Passenger associa-
ton that it will sell tickets for the occa-
sion named on September and 8, from
points west of Missouri river, and on
September 8 and from points on and
east of the Missouri river. These dates
are placed early in the month so that
visitors may witness the great naval re-
union, which forms an important feature
of the opening days of the encamp ment.
Besides convenient selling days, the
Santa Fe also announces that it will
honor G. A. r. tickets for return from its
eastern terminals on any day within the
final limit of Sept. 25 for tickets sold in
territory east of Colorado common
points, and Sept. so for tickets sold from
territory west thereof. This concession
will accommodate members OF the G. A.
r., and that is what the Santa Fe always
aims to do. 1t tries to please its patrons.
The rate is one fare for the round trip,

Forever.

Two little streamlets leaped and flowed
And sang their songs together;
They felt alike the summer rays
And bore the stormy weather;
The self same blossoms decked them both
In colors rich and rare,
And in each stream the song birds wooed
Their bright reflections there.
And on and on and on they danced,
Each leaping toward the river,
And then they met to kiss and part
Forever and forever.
Two human lives, two kindred hearts,
BY destiny's decree,
Met in the spring Of life to learn
Its deepest mystery.
They dreamed their morning dreams of
hope
Through fair, unclouded weather;
They opened loves bewitching book
And read it through together;
They saw in one another's eyes
A deep, unspoken bliss,
And from each others lips they took
Loves ever ready kiss.
And then the fate that brushes all
The sweetest pleasures here
Turned hopes glad music to sigh,
Its glory to tear.
1t stepped between them. All. it Knocked
The love it could not kill!
1t babe them in its fury live
And love and suffer still.
They tried with outstretched hands to spar
Fate's wide, unyielding "Never."
The voice of destiny replied,
Forever and forever!"

Santa Fe, The city Of the Holy Faith OF
st. Francis, is situated on the site of an
ancient Indian Pueblo called O-ga- Tho ge
1t is probably the Oldest civilized com
lnunity il the United States and the most
ancient of American capitals. The Spanish
town was founded in 1905. Authorities
disagree as to whether this city or San Au.
gustin, Fla, were first founded. Santa
Fe was first visited by American traders
in 1904, and from that time dated q
wonderful era of prosperity. The thrill
ing incidents of the old Santa Fe trail
starting from Wostport, Mo-, gave il O
world wide fame.
THE WORLDS ONLY sANlTARIuM.
Prof. Mark Harrington, chief of the q
). weather bureau, says: Santa Fe 10 in
the driest habitable part of the United
States. This region is extensive, and
changes in form from season to season,
but Santa Fe is always in it,"
1t IS situated in a charming nook of the
Santa Fe range, and its climate is domi-
mated by the influence of mountain peaks
that tower nearly $4,000 feet high. To-
gether with this it lies at an altitude of
7,O15 feet, and latitude, about the seth
degree north, that gives it peculiar adj
vantage as a sanitarium. The elevation
sempers the summer heats, which natural
ly should be about that of Memphis,
Tenn, or Bakersfield, Cal, and it's south
zen situation reduces the rigors of winter
As an illustration, during the winter of
1892, the daily public concerts in the
plaza were only stopped three times by
weather, and last winter the omissions did
not exceed half dozen.
The altitude compels the lungs to work,
and no one in Santa Fe can be accused of
being "too lazy to BREATHE" as a great
physician expressed il. The rare, ozon-
sted air permeates every cell of the lungs,
and thus prevents hemorrhage. Drs.
Symington and Harroun, who have prac-
ticed in Santa Fe for over twenty years,
report that they have only found two
'ases among tho native people of con-
sumption.

A Hero.

He is hero who when sorely tried
Hath yet a firm control
Ger all his passions as they strongly rise
To battle with his SOUL
The silent battle which the spirit fights,
Warning against desires
Unholy and impure, if right shall win
To higher good inspires.
The soul that crucifies an evil thought,
That keeps guarded gate
OF Christian love and brotherly good will
Between his soul and hate,
Shall stand, in all his manliness aud worth
AS mightier than he
Who takes city in his strength and pride
Or boasteth vauntngly.
The shield of purity when nobly worn,
Where faith has been confessed,
Is stronger than the cunning coat of mail
Upon warriors breast.
He Is hero who to truth is true,
Though lowly and obscure.
Long after earthly honors fade away
His triumphs shall endure.

All Saints.

Men may not mark them in the crowded ways.
The noisy world forgets to blame or praise
The poor in spirit, yet they pass along
Through silent paths and make them glad
with song;
Theirs is the kindgdom where Love reigns su-
preme
And Faith scars higher than the poets dream.
Wrapped in the sunlight of eternal day
Blessed are they.
God knows the patient souls who do his will;
The mourners who can suffer and be still,
Waiting in silence for his healing balm;
The meek, whose hands shall clasp the victor's
palm;
The hungry ones, whom he alone can feed;
The merciful; the pure in heart and deed;
The peacemakers-of these hear him say,
Blessed are they.
Father, we pray thee that thy light may shine
Upon the world through every child of thinel
Into the haunts of darkness and distress
They come with all the power of blessedness.
When thou hast called them to thy purer
sphere
The fragrance of their lives shall linger here,
And through deaths silence we shall hear thee
Blessed are they.

Tho Man Who Always Smiles.

His house may not mansion be; his place in

But yet his life's grander one, though lacking
much of style.
His title is the Prince Of Hope-the man who
always Smiles
Though he never limned a Landscape he's an
artist in his way;
He's picture fair Of joyousness in a frame
that's always gay;
His life's useful sermon, and he's preaching
all the while,
And he's better off than governors-the man
who always smiles.
He's one of life's physicians without antidotes

His cures are freely given to all mems current
ills;
He's missionary worker, leaving out the
heather isles,
And he's aiming straight for heaven-the man
who always smiles.
