wife learned that he had c~onsecrated
all his property, and eve his wife and

omitted himself, whereupon the farmer
went back to the barn and prayed on
his knees until midnight. Sanctiica-

of glory aroused his family. who OPEN

s human digestive
system is very much like a camel. 1t Is
really astonishing how much abuse it will
stand. Sometimes, however, something
worse than usual will be eaten, and will go
through the stomach into the bowels, and
there it will stick that's constipation.
Nine-tenths of all human sickness is due
to constipation. Some of the simplest
symptoms are coated tongue and foul
breath, dizziness, heartburn, f1atulence,
sallowness, distress after eating, headaches
and lassitude. A little thing will cause
constipation, and a little thing will relieve
It. DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are a GER

THAT ANTON CHTCo BRIDGE.


A correspondent Of The OPTIc writes
from White Oaks, under date Of Au-
gust 22d, as follows;
The iron bridge spanning the Pocos river
at Anton Chico Is In a dangerous condi-
tion, This Is public property and the
proper authorities should, without delay,
sec to II. II is often said that an ounce OF
prevention may save a pound OF medicipe,
and In this case the expenditure OF a few
dollars would surely save several thou
sands, with a possibility Of human lives.
Any engineer or bridge builder will tell
you that every girder, brace or support In
an iron truss is calculated TO carry only It's
own proportion of a given weight. This
power is figured by the builder, owing
hrst to the weight Of the structure itself 1t
has to carry constantly, and with the ad-
ditional capacity required for the purpose
1t Ia intended for, adding to this sufficient
metal to bear fully twice the weight II 10
calculated to carry. But also the engi-
neering laws require that such a structure
rests ON level foundations, otherwise the
maker OF a bridge could not guarantee.
In the case of the bridge In question: por-
tion of the abutment on the south side has
evidently settled, as the looseness of some
OF the braces and supports on one side, and
the great tension the others show on the
opposite corner, will quickly demonstrate
to a casual observer. The strain oil the
first support at that end OF the bridge must
be very great and shall increase constantly
with the gradual sinking Of the foundations
on the opposite side and this may continue
until the crash comes, which may be caus-
ed any time with the least vibration. This
may occur by the passing OF an OK, a herd
OF goats, a horseman, or a whole family In
a wagon. Should human lives be
sacrificed 10 such an accident, the
wisest men Of society would simply say,
"what a calamity! 7" and soon the incident
would be forgotten, except by the bereaved
family that would forever feel the loss of
perhaps a wife, of a husband, of q father,
or a child, without any ecour whatever
for redress.
The situation is that much more serious,
that there Is no practicable, good way left,
at that point, to ford the stream, except
upon and over the insecure bridge that
stands in the air, fully thirty feet above
water. t'
The floor of the bridge is also adorned
with a profusion of unsightly holes, some
of them of sufficient capacity to swallow a
yearling calf.
1t is to lie desired that the present
board of Sap Miguel county commission
ers, who nave already established an enyi-
able reputation in the discharge of their
trust and in behalf of the taxpayers of the
county, will, without delay, look into that
most important matter.
The country, between the Pecos river and
Pinos Wells, is a vast field Of fully grown
gramma grass. but most Of the lakes that
were filed to their brims by the July
showers, are fast going dry, and If the
present drought continues, stock will suf-
fer for lack of water. .

HOUSE IN SESSION.
1t Was Very Short Meeting and
Not Important.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The session
of the house today was exceedingly
brief. Mr.. Broderick Rep., Kan) pre-
ferred a request for unanimous con-
sent for the swearing in of Clarence
F. Allen, elected to represent the new
state Of Utah. He explained that Mr..
Aliens election was regular, and there
was no contest, but as the governor
and other state officers did not assume
their offices under the presidents proc
lamation until today, their signatures
to Mr.. Aliens credentials, Of course,
had not been affixed
Mr.. Crisp Oem., Ga.) did not ques-
ton the facts as stated, but thought
Mr.. Allen should not be sworn in I'M
til a report had been made upon the
case by committee.
The matter was therefore referred
to the judiciary committee, with leave
to report at any time.
On Mr.. Hits motion, a resolution
was adopted appointing Hon. William
L. Wilson on the board of regents of
the Smithsonian institute. At 1920
the house adjourned until tomorrow.

House Committee to Tackle the

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The house
committee on Pacific railways within
few days will begin to consider plans
for adjusting the debt Of the Pacific
roads to the government. Chairman
Powers arrived in the city today from
Vermont, and called a meeting of the
committee for tomorrow for organiza-
ton. Mr.. Powers supported the Reilly
bill in the last congress. but 1t is ur-
derstood he thinks that the plan can be
improved upon. He has not framed any
plan himself, Mr.. Powers says, as he
has not known long that he was to be
chairman Of the committee. Several
bills will probably be introduced within
a week, which will give the committee
plenty Of ground to work on. Mr.. Pow
ers says 1t is absolutely necessary that
some disposition of the question should
be made by this congress. on account
of the approaching maturity of some Of
the bonds, but he does not yet know
what is the temper Of the committee or
the house regarding the problem. Two
thirds Of the committeeman are new, as
the speaker dropped from the list Ger
tain members of this congress who
served on the committee in the last con-
