The interest lately excited in Eng
land in what is known as the red
light treatment" of smallpox, wherein
the patient is confined to a room into
which only red light is admitted, calls
attention to the remarkable way in
which modern science seems to revive
and reform empirical methods of the
past. Even SO far back as the reign of
Edward ". smallpox patients were
treated by wrapping them in red COW
ers and putting red balls in the bed.
1t was thus that John of Gaddesden
treated a prince of Wales. This
method has also been noticed as
a popular custom in Roumania In
recent years, too, French surgeon
has told of smallpox patients in Ton
quin being isolated in aicoves almost
darkened by red carpet hangings, and
of wonderful cures ensuing. In Japan
the patients were covered by red blan-
kets and the children given red toys
to play with.

TO CONNECT WITH SANTA r.
New Line From Memphis Through
Coal And Mineral Regions.
OF IMPORTANCE TO KANSAS.

Kansas City, June 1.-THE Arkansas,
railroad that is being laid out, starting
from Memphis west through northern
Arkansas, and up through Neosho and
Joplin, Mo-, Weir City and Cherokee,
Kan, to connection with the Santa
Fe at either Chahute or lola.
From Weir City to St Paul the line
as surveyed is as straight as an arrow
and will be the longest piece of straight
track in the state of Kansas From
there the road will run to Erie and
Chanute or lola, the terminus not yet
being definitely determined The right
OF way men are at work getting titles
to the right of way and the work of
laying the track will begin as soon as
the survey is completed and the proper
arrangements can be made.
This new road is chartered under the
laws of Missouri and will run through
some of the richest country in the
West. The timber lands and undevel-
oped mineral districts of northern
Arkansas, the mineral districts of
southwest Missouri. the coal fields, the
fine agricultural lands and the gas and
oil fields of southeast Kansas are all to
be traversed by this road.
The construction of such a road will
be of immense Importance to the cities
of the gas belt. 1t will open up
direct road from the mineral fields of
Arkansas and Missouri to the smelters
which have already been established
in the gas towns, and will in all prob
ability lead to the establishment of
more such Industries. It is also ted
that the new road runs through the
places in Missouri from which the sand
for glass-making is obtained, and it
will thus open up a direct sorHce of
supply for the glass factories which
have recently been established in
southern Kansas.

showing Deteriorates Birds.

The man that makes a business OF
showing fowls must expect to meet
many losses. The writer has been
told that in some cases exhibitors
have lost half of their fowls in a sin
gle seasons campaign. Besides the
loss of birds from colds, diseases, ex-
posure and so forth there is a further
loss in the deterioration of the birds
shown, even though they come out If
the ordeal without losing a feather
In the first place, during the time in
which they are being fitted they are
kept penned up and fed high. This
hurts the breeding qualities of the
males and the egg laying qualities of
the females. The necessary prepare
ton for showing is directly adverse to
the qualities desired in breeding or
laying stock. After the birds are out
of the shows they must have consid-
cradle time in which to recuperate.
For this reason birds that have been
shown a great deal are looked upon
with suspicion as to their breeding
qualities. A man must take all these
things into consideration when he goes
into the show with his best birds. He
must consider IL the advertisement he
is to get will compensate for the in
evitable losses of various kinds.

The selection Of the brood SOW is
the most important factor and is
where the average farmer makes
most serious mistake by selecting the
second or third class sow pigs for
breeders, because If in buying them
they get them for less money, or IN
keeping them from their own herd, the
better individuals sell for more money.

the most expensive animals to be re-
tanned or bought for breeding pur-

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic

merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh remedy
are pouring in from every state in the
union. DR.. Hartman is receiving hum
dreds of such letters daily. All classes
write these letters, from the highest to
the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the states
man, the preacher-all agree that Pc
ru-na is the catarrh remedy OF the age.
The stage and rostrum, recognizing
catarrh as their greatest enemy, are
especially enthusiastic in their praise
and testimony,
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only
absolute safeguard KNOWN A cold is
the beginning of catarrh. To prevent
colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh
out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not only
cures catarrh, but prevents. Every
household should be supplied with this
great remedy for coughs, colds and so
forth.
The governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it con-
