Splitting Hairs.


No occasion gives rise to such hair
splitting as the presentation to the SEN
ate OF treaty concluded with some
foreign government The recesses and
the abysses of the senatorial mind are
explored for sapient reasons why this
agreement is good or bad; amendments
pour In, and senators debate the issue
as II the fate OF empires were to be
decided there. The simplest and most
through the senate in less than several
months. II has TO take all the prescrib-
ed degrees of initiation.
This is the case with the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty, with the Davis amendment.
so diverse and decided are the opinions
of senators that any disposition of II
at this session appears unlikely. One
grave and reverend fogy announces
that no treaty in the premises should
be concluded. Another will never as
sent to 1t IL We are to have any rights
OF defence. And so the tedious busl-
ness drags along, while national inter-
ests wait.
The instance in point happens to be
one where 1t is difficult to account for
a single dissenting opinion. so desirable
is the treaty and so advantageous to us
are It's terms. 1t is admitted that an
isthmian canal will be built by the
United states, sooner or later. The
Clayton Bulwer treaty stands in the
way. Some OF our constitutional law
yers declare that II is not now in force,
while others say II is. and all England
agrees with them. There is no tribu-
nal 70 settle such differences. Certain
ly Il is better 10 get the thing out Of
the way amicaby than to take the
chance either OF ignoring an honorable
agreement or running against war
some aay.
The Hay Psuncefote treaty does
away with the Clayton Bulwer docu-
ment SO much is gain. It leaves us

we believe, deliberately concoct IN
truths in order that he may assert them

q great deal he utters many things that
are unconsidered and untrue. The Post
Intelligencer has made several collec-
lions OF these extraordinary sayings.

Poison In Potatoes.

The public is becoming excited over
the statement recently made that pota-
toes contain a poison called ~solanin. 1t
is announced that new potatoes contain
much less than old ones,'bu those which
have commenced to sprout are quite
dangerous. This may be true, but it
seem odd that people have lived and
thrived for centuries upon them and
that their danger has just been dis
covered. 1t is safe to assert that any
one with whom potatoes do not agree
has stomach trouble, and any n who
has Indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation,'
biliousness, or liver and kidney weak
ness needs Hostetter's Stomach Bitters

promise, it cures. Avoid substitutes and
insist upon having the genuine. Try it.

SANTA FEE SUMMER,

Were Santa Fe located in sight Of St..
Louis or Chicago. with its present ele-
walton. residents of such place would
behold a city more than a mile and a
quarter skyward, above the hot, mala-
rial, moisture-soaked earth. in a purer
atmosphere, which all would seek.
Should they behold the city where she
is they would find a still cooler and
purer atmosphere, where there is little
moisture. a porous soil to drain away
the rain that comes, and a precipitous
descent for escape Of the snow-fed
streams and gorges in sight of the city.
The records show that no other city
in the same latitude possesses so cool a
summer temperature as Santa Fe,
where the average Ii 81 degrees and the
change between night and day temper
allure too slight to be detrimental to
health. Thanks to elevation, to wooded
mountains far southwark, and shelter

thermometer readings about as low as
San Diego, and is free from the humid
heat Of the coast.
THE WINTER SEASON.
One who has not seen the lay of the
land might think that an elevated place
having so delightful a summer climate
would have a sever winter. Yet this Is
not true. The winter temperatur is not
30 low as in the lower Ohio valley. and
Is free from moisture, there being less
of cloudy weather in winter than in
summer. To the north, the great noun
tains Of Colorado receive the greatest
snowfall. and break the force Of north

NEW MEXICO SANITARIUMS.
Sunny, bright days mark the winter
season, which, until Christmas at least,
is quite as delightful as the glorious
summer, though crisp and cool. Even
the spring months in Santa Fee cannot
be equaled for mildness in any eastern
state. While hundreds of tourists visit
the city in summer and make a more or
less protracted stay, the number who
come to remain permanently for the Gu
rative effect upon tuberculous diseases
is all the while increasing. The proper
ton of the latter will be undoubtedly
enlarged in consequence OF the indorse-
ment given New Mexico's climate by
the United States marine hospital serv-
ice, which has in 1899 established two
permanent sanitariums in the territory,
and will maintain them as homes for
soldiers and sailors afflicted or threat
eileu VIII. tuUeFCuldT TROUBLES. Manly
years of life at New Mexico army posts
and a careful examination by experts
led the authorities to take this action
in the interest Of military invalids, and
it is also intended to remove to New

homes in California. and eastern states.
Favorable conditions exist all over
New Mexico for restoration to health or
for improving the condition of such SUI
~ferers; a dry, aseptic air, light atmos-
pheric pressure, well drained soil, a
minimum of cold and heat, the absence
of great changes in temperature and a
maximum of sunshine.
SUNSHINE RECORDS.
AS to the latter point, the latest fig
ures available from the government rec
ords are those Of 1897, the year book OF
1898 having not yet been published. The
summer of 1897, as it happened, was I'M
usually cloudy and rainy at Santa Fe,
yet the superiority of this city in the
matter Of days that were sunny
throughout, can be seen by a few COM
parsons with places in various parts Of
the country.

A GREAT TRUTH.

All organized living things, whether be-
longing to the animal or vegetable king
dom contain within themselves the germs
of death and decay.
Germs of disease are often generated
within the human system through imper-
feet digestion of food, producing various
poisons which scientists have d~enominated
btoDaalnes. A stomach weakened by abuse,
gorged with over eating or over burdened
with hot bread, too rich or greasy foods or
those too highly seasoned, becomes weak
ened and fails to thoroughly digest the
food. A heavy, sodden mass is accumu-
lated in the stomach to ferment as the first
step in its decay, giving off fou! gases to
distend the stomach, and poison the blood,
until it comes thin, weak and lacking in
the red corpuscles SO necessary to perfect
health.
The over distended stomach presses upon
the heart, and the latter organ is also dis
turbed through sympathy, the same system
of nerves being distributed to both organs.
Thus palpitation and irregular action of the
heart with its attendant shortness of breath,
result, and in time, disease of the heart
itself is established.
The gases and other poisons generated
from undigested, f%erinenting and decay
ing food in the stomach becloud the
brain, causing headaches, and pain in the
eyes.
Being absorbed into the blood these poi
sons reach every part and organ of the sys-
TEN. The kidneys are thereby poisoned,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes. Fill
tering through the skin, troublesome skin
diseases often show themselves.
Every organ and every nerve, depending
as they do for their nourishlnent and
renewal upon the stomach, weak digestion
shows itself not alone in loss of appetite
and flesh, but also in nervousness debility,
bad complexion and many other ~derange-

This table shows that in the year 1897
only Ell Paso had more sunshine than
