port says:
During the year there were 92.97e.

A MEDICAL. scientist is authority for
the statement that children and old
people especially suffer from lack of
lime in the system. Persons who hab-
itually drink soft water, while they
may enjoy immunity from certain of
the ills of life, expose themselves to
others perhaps quite as much to be
avoided. Hard water helps the teeth
and the bones by furnishing lime,
which is necessary to health, growth
and development. Old persons who
drink but little lose their teeth more
quickly than those who take'a reason
able amount of drinking water.

without condition to relinquish Cuba

replied that their government had tried
to give as equitable an answer as pos
sible, but that they were not prepared
to commit their government to the ac-
ceptance of the principles embodied in
the American argument. Spain rejects
these principles, the note continues. ''as
she always has rejected them Bas-
ing her attitude upon the justice of her
cause, the note then says. she still ad-

However, the note adds. in her desire
for peace, she has gone so far as to pro-
pose certain compromises, which the
Americans have always rejected. She
has also attempted, it is further as
serted, to have submitted to arbitration
some of the material particulars upon
which the two governments differed.
These proposals for arbitration, it is
added. the Americans had equally re-
jected.

Spain has, however. exhausted all the
resources of diplomacy in an attempt
to justify her attitude. Seeing that an
acceptance of the proposal made to
Spain is necessary condition to con-
tinuance of negotiations and seeing
that the resources of Spain are not such
as to enable her to reenter upon war,
she is prepared, in her desire to avoid

humanity and patriotism to submit to
the conditions of the conquering ma

hitherto unheard-of ports in Cage Cod
showing that at least score and a

as a dire climax to the previous report
of disasters resulting from Saturday

total loss of life cannot be estimated
with any degree of accuracy. it is
