there seems to be room for the one

patented. Among its numerous al

can be adjusted to fit any and all COZ
feepots. The pot IS separate from the
other parts. and is, therefore, as light
as possible thus avoiding the handling
Of a pot with a heavy strainer OF other

the operation is as follows: A quantity
Of coffee is placed in the small recep-

at the bottom is partially filed with

It has long been known that scanty
food and poor cookery were main
causes Of the appetite for strong drink
More than a century ago English writ
ers called attention to this fact In their
own country. Jacob Riis OF New
York. whose study Of social problems
in cities raised him to the rank Of an
authority on the subject, in a recent
speech before a woman's club Of that
city remarked that much of the evil
OF drunkenness would be ahated II the
art Of good cooking were more genef-
ally understood and practiced. He in
sisted that the general adoption Of
means for promotion of good cooking
would do more to abate the saloon
evil than any other one Of the methods
now proposed or employed, or all Of
them together. That the appetite for
strong drink is due largely to poor and
meager food is a physiological fact Of
the firet Importance. II is the cause OF
the excessive consumption of liquors
In the poorest districts OF all cities, and
II is often witnessed in village and
country. where the art Of preparing
food is neglected or unknown. Stimu-
lation OF alcoholic liquors is taken as
a substitute by those who feel the
necessity Of 1t to keep them going. 1t
is destructive. Of course, but this fact
is not realized. and if it were 1t would

Seven days ago hobo who had been put in jail over night developed symD- :oms of smallpox and was immediately taken out town. The jail was thor oughly fumigated and all known to have been exposed were vaccinated. The next day rumor reached Yuma that the disease had broken out among the Cocopah Indians at their camp two miles below town, and the health board consisting of Drs. Cottcr. Mohler and Alp John visited the camp and found several cases. of a very mild character: a quarantine was at once established. and neither hobo nor an Indian has since been in the city.

Education in Porto Rico.

The expense Of maintaining schools in Porto Rico is very high. if we con- slider the amount sTent fer the small number of pupils enrolled: but as that country is gradually brought in closer touch with our own. their system will evidently be changed until it reaches cur present state of perfection. In this country the people are being edu- cated to the fact that there is a sure cure for dyspepsia, indigestion, cCnsti- patiCn. liver and kidney troubles, and that medicine is HCstetter's Stomach Bitters. It should be taken at the first symptom if you would avoid unnecessa- ny suffering. It will give prompt re- lief and eventually cure. as hundreds of people, including many prominent phy- sicians have testified during the past fifty years.
