FACTS ON MEXICO,


The THO Republics, printed In tho
City OF Mexico, says that the interest
In Mexico, her resources, advantages
and opportunities, owing to the i'm
portant part that country played In the
presidential campaign in the United
States, received an impetus which has
placed the republic far In the q in
the mind Of the general, the investing
and the home-seeking public. This
interest is daily evidenced by the letters
which are being constantly received
from all parts Of the world by residents
in Mexico.
This has become such a burden that
tae Two Republics has determined to
establish a bureau of information, in
which 1T will undertake to make an.
swers along the lines aforesaid to such
reasonable inquiries as may from day
to day be propounded by people in the
United States or elsewhere. The Mex
lean government and United States le.
CATION and consul-general have APP
proved the plan. All residents Of the
United States or elsewhere who may
desire to obtain information concern-
ing Mexico, her industries, her posi-
b%llities, are invited to send their letters
of inquiry to this department, which
the THO Republics declares shall be
conducted impartially.

lungs. A pinched and half-closed nos.
tril indicates small or weak lungs"
These are general points OF distinc-
ton from those of short. lived tenden-
cIes, but Of course, subject to the usual
individual exceptions. Still, 1t is well
acknowledged that the characteristics
noted are expressions Of inherent po-
tentiality, which have been proven on
the basis Of abundant statistical EVIL
dence.
Again, he says truly:
"In the case Of persons who have
short-lived parentage on one side and
long-lived on the other side, the ques-
ton becomes more involved. 1t is
shown in grating and h%ybridizing that
nature makes a supreme effort to pass
the period of the shorter longevity and
extend the life 10 the greater longevity.
Any one who understands these weak
and dangerous periods OF life is FORE
warned and forearmed. 1t has been
observed that the children of long
lived parents mature much later and
are usually backward in their studies."
4 Such observations are Of the highest
importance, especially to the physician
and 1t is on this ground we commend
them to his thoughtful consideration.

OUR HEALTH

Las Vegas owes more to her health
seekers than can easily be estimated, in
tact we would have a very small town
left if we take away those who came
here to benefit by climatic conditions
and those who came with some one
member of the family who is afflicted.
Many of our best business men we're
originally health seekers.
1t should be the endeavor on the
part of the citizens Of this city then, to
make those who come among US, as
comfortable IS possible. Many of the
young ladies end young men, now in
this city, have come from homes in the
east where every comfort has been
theirs, where anxious and tender
mothers have intuitively seen the very
desires, and without their asking ad-
ministered comforts to them. To such
people, i'll, discouraged and home-sick
our warmest. sympathies should go out.
At best, they are far from happy and
to those who have themselves been at
one time a stranger in a strange land,
it need not be told how far a smile or
a friendly street greeting goes to cheer
one, under such circumstances.
What the citizens Of Las Vegas need
to do is to make these health seekers
feel that this is q home for them that
when they have recovered from their
affection, no other place affords SO
near an ideal place to live the rest
of their lives. We should make them
feel that they want to bring their
parents and families to Las Vegas,
build homes and be n Of us, and not
feel, as 3 gentleman expressed himself
recently, that he would rather go back
TO Chicago, II he could live a week,
than to live years in New Mexico.

SIGNS OF
Read the Following and See If You
Are ON the List.
From the Medical Record.

From the Medical Record.
Every one is interested in the ques-
ton OF long life as applied to himself,
and all facts bearing on 1t are noted
with becoming feelings of self-congrat-
ulation or otherwise. 1t is the staying
power that is in demand, backed by an
inherited and reserved vitality Of re-
sistance against the usual evils to
which all flesh and other p~erishable
things are subject The law of heredi-
ty, which our life insurance companies
understand so we'll, is at the bottom of
all calculations as to whether q parti-
cular man or woman is wound up for
seventy years or will run down at
twenty or forty years.
Aside from this testimony, there are
certain physical qualities which have
great weight in determining the result
OF the struggle against a conspiring en-
vironment. An oak has one configu-
ration, and q cedar, pine, or mullen
stalk another. 1t Is the proper recog-
milton Of such distinctions that aids
physicians in their prognosis and turns
the balance against apparently despsr-
ate chances.
AT a recent meeting of the academy
of science, Mr.. F. w. Warner, In
speaking upon the subject Of biometry,
offered some very interesting data,
which are in the main true.
EVERY person." said he, "carries
about with him the physical indications
Of bis longevity. A iong-lived person
may be distinguished from a short
lived person at sight. In many in
stances a physician may look at the
hand of a patient and tell whether be
will live or die.
"In the vegetable as well as In the
animal kingdom, each life takes its
characteristics from the life from which
it sprung. Among these inherited
characteristics we find the capacity for
continuing Its life for a given length of
time. This capacity for living We call
the Inherent Or potential longevity.
"Under favorable conditions and
environment, the individual should live
out the potential longevity. With I'M
OOhaibiOno thio iObkCtltJ udy
be greatly decreased, but with 4 ia
yorable environment the longevity of
the person, the family, or the race may
be increased"
Herein are presented the two leading
considerations, always present and al
ways independent-the inherited po-
tentiality and the reactionary influences
of environment.
"The primary conditions Of longev-
he continues, s'are that the heart,
lungs and digestive organs, as well as
the brain, should be large. II these
organs are large, the trunk will be long
and the limbs comparatively short.
The person will appear tall in sitting
and short in standing. The hand will
have a long and somewhat heavy palm
and short fingers. The brain will be
seated, as shown by the %orifce
Of the ear being low. The blue hazel

But did any of the members of that
society stop to think how many asy-

their doors, if the support prompted
by a Christian spirit was removed
And then again, how many of such
noble institutions have been established

We wish to state to stne good people OF
Lns Vegas and vicinity, that the means to
build the Sanitarium hays been provided
for. but we are without mean to furnish
the building. We have concluded, there
fore, to hold a fair during Thanksgiving
week, to raise funds with which to furnish
the building, We are dependent on the
generosity OF the public to accomplish this
purpose; and desire to state that we do not
expect to get the necessary amount by
donations, but by the mite from the
many. Hence, we hope that none will re-
fuse to assist US. This is a public institu-
ton by which all will be benefited, and In
all should feel an interest.

SOME idea Of the immense benefit
the new beet sugar factory, at Eddy,
will be to the Pecos valley, may be
had from the statement that 1000
head Of cattle will be purchased, to
fatten on the pulp of this factory.
Think of the quantity Of beet pulp it
would take to make one good meal for
this number Of cattle. The new fac
tory seems to be the biggest PROPOSE
ton that ever struck New Mexico, out
