S1EaHE discovery and announcement
by DR.. Franklin Miles, that the
~ health of the whole or any part
Of the body depends upon the state Of
the nervous system very much more
than upon anything else, has been
received by many Of cur most eminent
physicians as scientifically correct.
There are many others in the profess
sion, who through ignorance or preju-
dice or both, still refuse to accept
the more modern theory, but continue
to treat the kidneys or other organs
with nostrums which irritate, excite
and infame them beyond their
strength, while the heart and brain
are starving for proper nOurishment
DR.. Miles Remedies restore the lost
energies of life and build up the system
quicker and better and stronger than
any other known medicines.
We are glad to hear from our old
friend, Dr. NJ. w. Shepard Of Plant
City, Fla. He writes; 81 have used
the DR.. Miles New Heart Cure and the
Restorative Nervine for nearly three
years with the best of results, and
shall continue to use them when re-
Quired. I am particularly pleased
with the Eervine, and have obtained
results from it in the treatment Of

Fighting Yellow Fever.

Eminent medical authorities are of
the opinion that the South will be prac-
tically freed from the standing menace
of yellow fever as soon as American
methods can be brought to bear on the
question of sanitation in our newly ac-
CURED provinces. Santiago is a very
paradise of filth, and there is not for
one hour any reasonable assurance
that an epidemic may not break out
there. The sacrifice of the principle
cities and ports of Cuba through their
publication by fire will be a cheap
and eminently suitable operation. pro-
vided it eventuates in that cleanliness
that comes by fire alone. The i'm
munity of the South from such a
scourge will be secured at a most rea-
sonable rate, if the predictions of the
physicians are fulfilled. They claim
that with Siboney, Santiago, Havana
and a few other points subjected to
such vigorous treatment, there will be
little, If any, difficulty, in controlling,
If not absolutely stamping out, this
dread disease. This is the first time
that yellow fever has been attacked in
it's stronghold, and the fact that most
of the cases are of en- extremely mild
type is a matter for most decided re,
joicing.

GREAT "STAKED PLAINs."
Vast Changes Wrought During the Past
Sixteen Years.

Sixteen Years.
The vast changes that have been
made out on the great "Staked Plains
the past sixteen years are phenomenal.
That large expanse of unbroken prairie
derived it's name from the Mexicans
and Indians, who called it "Llano Esta-
cado" long before the advent of the
Americans. The scarcity of water dur
ing the summer months rendered it a
dangerous matter to attempt the jour-
ney across them, and it is known that
many caravans of Mexicans in early
days making their way from the Rio
Grande river into New Mexico persisted
among their sandy wastes.
For many years after the country on
every side had been in a measure set
tied up, the plains were looked upon as
a sort of forbidden region, the epitome
of everything that was ~inhospitable in
nature and totally useless for supply
ing any of the wants of man. Those
adventurous individuals who ventured
far into it's dangerous depths reported
it a treeless, silent waste, without a
sign of life, except the buzzards that
circled high in the heavens, or the
coyote that hurried across the trail and
disappeared like a flash among the sage
brush and tall grass that lined the
banks of the dry arroyos. Huge whirl-
winds would appear to block the way
for a time, and then hurry off, as if
disturbed by the presence of men in
those grim %solitudes. In the early
morning wreaths of dust went spinning
around before the breeze, as if some
desert sands had arisen and had lust
begun to envelop the great expanse.
The last case known of any one perish
ing on the plains was in 1890, when two
Americans and one Mexican, a sheep
herder, attempted to make their way
from Pecos City to Amarillo in mid
summer, and, being poorly provisioned
with water and losing the trail as well,
soon died of thirst, as well as their
horses. A peculiar feature of this ac-
cident was that, although coyotes and
buzzards had picked the bones of the
Americans clean, the body of the Mex
lean had baked and dried in the sun
and was practically intact, owing to the
fact that the diet of the Mexicans on
the border is always composed in great
part of chile and red pepper, substances
apparently not appreciated by either
the buzzards Or the coyotes.

Spinach is richer in iron thar even
the yolk of an egg, while the latter
contains more than beef. Thus the
dainty dish of spinach and poached
eggs is unrivaled as a tonic. Iron is
also present in apples, lentils, straw
berries, white beans, peas, and pota-
toes, while all red fruits and vegetables
have iron in them. The housewife who
is constantly tired should eat more
vegetables and fruits to become we'll

1t Is remarkable how quickly women
whose occupation keeps them confined
at home run down and lose in vitality
as compared with their sisters whose
work takes them out daily in all kinds

British. Stately buildings along the
quays are the branches of British
commercial houses. There are French
and German compounds, but the Brit
ish settlement predominates.
The foreign settlement is governed
by a municipal council, which consists
chiefly of British merchants. They are
elected by the 5000 European residents,
but control a total population of $780,
600 within their jurisdiction. The
council has been the means of greatly
improving the sanitary condition of the
city. The organization carried on re-
minds one of the municipal work in an
English city.
There are municipal gas and water
supplies, electric light, gardens, public
parks, public markets, a drill hall and
well-organized police service. Hospi-
tails have been provided for the treat
ment of infectious diseases. Shanghai
was a pioneer in the matter of electric
lighting. Arc lamps were introduced
in 1882, long before the light had been
used in many towns in England. Now

tramways. One should not forget to
mention that there is an efficient fire
brigade, and that the business-like
municipality has it's own workshops
for making drain pipes and other san
itary appliances.
The municipal council of Shanghai is
altogether a remarkable organization,
which does much to preserve good or
der, protect public health and generally
promote the well-being of a strangely
mixed community of over a quarter Of
a million. Shanghai is by no means
the biggest port in China in point of
population. but its trade is enormously
ahead of the others, and thus the or
ganization which the municipal coun-
Gil enforces is of the utmost impor-
lance. The excellent state in which
Shanghai finds itself only shows what
Western methods can do for Eastern
civilization.

clpltated a universal controversy
sometimes acrimonious, but at all
times interesting. Naturally there is
diversity of opinion. The women do
not hold to the same view. Some of
the most skillful and convincing argu-

gentler sex. Many of them see in it
that long hoped for emancipation from
ills which is the dream of
every woman. Few men realize how

good soul, would scintillate in the
editorial sanctum, enthrall in the for

change if the opportunity only came
to her! With this pleasant fallacy i'm
planted in nearly every feminine
breast, why shouldn't wives work, not
only to achieve personal liberty, but to
exploit personal ambition? 1t is hard
ly fa1r, however, to confine their de-
sire to this narrow sphere. If the
w1fe's labor could be coined into dol
lars, how many humble homes would
reap the benefit! Countless little
mouths to feed, t~ireless little feet to
be covered, an extra dish on Sunday,
excursions on the holidays. Women
know so well how to manage such
things, to plan surprises, to furnish
luxuries, to work marvels with their
savings. When wives work we may
be sure that not a copper will find it's
way to the barrooms, nor will it go
up in the smoke of bad cigars or viler
cigarettes. They, at least, have learn

Engineers judge of the condition Of
their machinery by the tone it gives
out while running. Every engine,
whether stationary or locomotive, has
a particular tone Of it's own; the en-
gineer becomes accustomed to that
and any departure from it at one ex-
cites a suspicion that all is not right.
The engineer may not know what is
the matter, he may have no ear for
music, but the change in the tone of
his machine will be at once percep-
tible, will be instantly recognized and
will start him on an immediate tour of
investigation.
