Irrigntlon Among Tho Incns.

The scenic grandeur of the Andes is
nowhere more impressive than along
the canyon of the Rimac River. through
which this railroad runs, and one can
obtain here better than anywhere else
an idea of the struggle which the Incas
made to sustain themselves among
these inhospitable mountains A sur
vey of their remains justihes the esti-
mates that have been made of their
enormous population, and the people
who for centuries herded in these mar
row valleys left traces of industry and
patience which have pathos as well
rs deep chronological interest. They
built their dwellings upon the rocks
and carried their dead to be buried in
the desert on the sea coast in order
to utilize every inch of soil in the
mountains for agriculture. They ter
raced every hill and mountain side
like the steps of mighty stairway.
They filed with soil every creyice in
the rocks and brought guano from the
islands of the sea to fertiiize their
hanging gardens until not an inch of
surface that could grow a stalk ofmaizo
was left unproductive.
Their irrigation system shows rs
great engineering skill as that which
made the Orbya Railroad famous.
Their ocepuias, which carried water to
the thirsty crops for one thousand
years, are still visible in every direc-
ton, and some of them are yet in use
by the Indians, who grow corn, wheat
and potatoes on the mighty slopes.
The bitches cling around the hill, sus-
tanned by walls of masonry, and are
frequently carried through tunnels.
Dams and reservoirs were erected 10

from the melting SHOWS, and it was
distributed by regulations similar TO
those that govern the present genera
tions. Lima letter IN the Chicago

WE DO NOT SIT CORRECTLY.
Americans Are Generally Careless in This
Important Respect.

Schools for physical culture are now
claiming that we as nation do not know
how to sit correctly. Americans, they
say, pay less attention to the hygiene
of attitude i'll sitting than do other
nations, and the consequence is that
we are degenerating into nation OF
dyspeptics. In France and in Ger
many school children get a regular
course of instruction rs TO the correct
attitude TO be adopted in sitting, and
in those countries stomach troubles
/ are far less prevalent than in coun
tries whore no precautions are taken
TO teach children to sit without relax
ing themselves.
\ relaxed position in sitting. il is
said, causes the stomach to be crowd
ed out of position. After time the
displacement becomes chronic. When
the stomach is prolapsed the food can
not readily fad its way out of it, and,
being retained there longer than it
should be. undergoes fermentation,
and putrefaction processes are set up
whereby the system is not only robbed
of the nutrient elements necessary for
the proper nourishment of the blood
/ and repair OF the tissues, but, through
the conversion of the food into pto-
maines and other poisonous sub.
stances, the whole body is contamiu-
ated.
On these grounds physicians who
teach physical culture assert that il Is
not the ice water that we drink nor
the soda water, that causes us TO be Il
nation of dyspeptics, but the bad pos
lures that we adopt in sitting. 4 cor
rect attitude in sitting requires proper
height aud width of seat, desk or
table of the proper height, when desk
work is required, and proportionate
amount of caro- upon the part of the
pupil to sit upon his seat in proper
position. The height of the chair YOU
sit in while writing and that OF the
desk you write at are matters of great.
est importance. The seat of the chair
should be exactly one-quarter of your
height from the floor.
Thus, if you are five feet high, the
chair should he fifteen inches. Tho
width of the seat should exactly equal
| its height, and it should slope back
ward three-quarters of an inch TO the
/ foot. The back should he n trihe
lower than the seat and sloped slight
| ly, but not too much. Finally, your
desk should be two-thirds as high
/ again as the seat of your chair. Thus,
| if your seat is eighteen inches high,
the desk should be thirty inches in
height. The relation of the person to
the seat should be such that while the
hips and shoulders touch the back Of
the seat, the other portions of the back
remain clear. The centre OF the back
cannot touch the back of the seat with
out relaxation of the muscles and re-
sulting fatness OF the chest, and per-
haps of the stomach, provided, of
course, the seat back has q backward
curvature.

The lesson for advertisers to learn
is don't scatter your ammunition; !"

If you wish your prosperity to be
continuous, make your advertising
continuous. One begets the Other.
It-is better to advertise two riches
every day than four inches every other
day. The public must be constantly
reminded Of your wares.
Success in advertising does not de-
pend so much on large expenditure
Of money as it does on knowing how
TO expend little judiciously.
The primary purpose of retail adj
vertising is to sell specific goods the
secondary purpose is to make specific
goods advertise the whole business.

feature or characteristic of your bust.

INDIAN LOcKIAW CUR.
nan Saved From Death by SImpl,
Bcna roulticc.

Doctors everywhere have horror
OF lockiaw. They realize that once q
patient is attacked by that disease his
life is sure to fade rapidly away. Had
they known of the remedy an old In
dian squaw possessed when the cpl
demio OF the disease struck the COM
munity IA the result of last Fourth of
July celebrations they would have
had lttlo fear. An old resident of
Long Island told of the cure 10 Il

they say there's more danger of lock.
jaw ON Long Island than there is in
most other places. / don't under
stand none of this new-fangled talk
about microbes and such, but | know
for fact that there's a lot more dan
ger in cuts and bruises in the eastern
part of the island, where my father
used to live when he was boy, than
there is-wcll, even around about
Jamaica, where my folks live now.
II never heard of but one case
where the patient was cured after his
face was set, and that wasn't by a
doctor, but by an old Indian squaw
That patient WAS my father, and it
was away back in the twenties, when
there were lots of Indians left on
Long Island. He was nearly grown
mp at the time, but still going bare
footed in summer, and cut his foot
very badly 10y stepping on broken
bottle. He did not lay much atten-
tion TO it, being pretty tough aud
hardy. 1t wasn't long. though, be-
sore symptoms of lockjaw set in. The
nearest doctor lived dozen miles
away, and if my fathers face wasn't
exactly set it was next door TO ii,
when his mother thought of an old
squaw. who lived only a little way
down the road. and who had quite a
name as an herb doctor.
"She came as soon as she was sent
