mining matter or any other OF the
American claims except upon condi.
ton that America will include in ar.

admit at the outset an open question
as to whether Benin canal or Portland
canal was the waterway mentioned as
the border point in the treaty and
purchase between the United States
and Russia. Everything is being done
to force concessions by the United

probable that the rights of Atlin min.

Perhaps the safest rule to follow III
seeking to avoid nervous prostration is u
exercise great care in the selection OF
ones ancestors. II possible. select those
on both sides who have lived to be a
hundred years old. Ancestry, or heredity,
have much to do with disease, more es-
pecially with nervous disorders.
One way is to have three generous, va
ried. and wel-cooked meals per day
Take plenty Of time to eat them-at the
very least thirty to thirty-five min
utes, better still, one hour, especially for
dinner. The surroundings and conditions
under which the meai is eaten should be
pleasant. Food is worse than wasted
which is taken into the system when Ia
anxiety, or other disturbing conditions.
Leave all health foods and all fad ar
ticles of diet alone, as you would snake
poison, and just remember that all we
know about diet is that We have teeth
and digestive fluids to take care of pretty
nearly all kinds of food, which is pretty
good indication that we can eat them,
eight hours in bed. but eight hours sleep
If you do not fall asleep easily, or the
sleep is broken and restless, or you lie
bed, you should remain in bed ten hours
There is not case in history of a person
who did with less sleep and kept his
health The story of NapoleOn's six
hours sleep has had pernicious effect
upon many who resembled him in nothing
except their endeavor to get along with
less than the natural amount of sleep.
Every woman should get a certain
amount of moderate exercise in the Oper
air. 1t makes no difference what kind OF
exercise is taken SO long as 1t exercises
all the muscles and is not followed by q
sense of fatigue.
The question is not what exercise you
think you ought to have, but what yor
can endure. If you find that you car
only walk one hour each day without be
coming fatigued then that is enough. II
you cannot take that much exercise. ther
walk half an hour, but il half an hour
exercise exhaustS you so that you do not
quickly recover after short rest, ther
you are sick and you need a doctor.
The element of worry has undoubtedly
great deal to do with nervous depres
SION There is great deal of worry
which is totally unnecessary. 1t IS pos
sible to cultivate "a cheerful and content
ed frame of mind. If you have not suff

Inaugural Address Of Mayor Stafford.

Gentlemen of the City Council:
Under d changed form of city govern
ment do we assemble this day to qualify
as the legal representatives of our city
and to assume the reins of municipal
management. The common council. which
has for so many years divided the re-
sponsbilities and cares. no longer exist ;
and to us and to us alone passes the full
burden of controlling and directing the
affairs of our little city. When our acts
are consummated when our edicts have
gone forth the full measure of response
bility for them rests with us, it therefore
behooves us to proceed upon all matters
with caution and deliberation that the
wisdom of our citizens in changing and
concentrating their form OF government
may be substantiated.
When the act of the Legislature abol-
ishing the common council was enacted
provision was also made WhercpE tn1
street commissioner and city marshal
were to be elected by direct vote OF the
people. thus eliminating what mas Deel,
heretofore a most disagreeaDle factor III

officers are thus elected the responsibility

ing adjutant- general, said IL was in ac-
cordance with the understanding OF the
war department as TO the purpose of

the purpose OF destroying any insurg
ent forces that might be found there.
TO make a careful reconnaissance OF the
territory. and to spread broadcast the
recent proclamation OF the Philippines
commission. setting forth the purposes
OF this government with respect to the

II understand that he will release all
the prisoners he has taken, and they
will be sent to their homes. BY this
action il is hoped that he will prove 10

not as barbarous as the insurgents pre-

the Filipinos humanely.
