Recent Statistics show IN Alarming
Condition Of AfaIrs.
vital statistics OF cities show that
suicide is greatly increasing. but the
worst feature Of these statistics is the
revelation Of an Increase in suicide by
children much beyond the ratio Of in.
crease among adults, says the Pitts.
burg Dispatch. In New York city,
during the ten years, including 1870
and 1879, there were 1.S0s suicides.
During the ten years. including 1890
and 1898, this gruesome list swelled to
1914. In the FIRST decade the suicides
Of persons from the age Of is TO 10
were thirty-nine; during the last dec
ade 1888. In the time mentioned the
whole number Of suicides, according
to population. increased So per cent,
but the number of children's suicides
increased 106 per cent. Here is an
ominous fact for the study Of physl
clans and soclologists. The American
Medicine, a high-class professional
journal, says: "overpressure In
schools Is doubtless a chief cause in
producing the morbid sense Of egotism
OF personal ambition and failure
which often furnish motives for thu
crime Of suicide. This is peculiarly
true Of anemic and neurotic children
II has been said that suicide increase
depends closely upon the number oI
school hours required. Surely physi
clans should use every effort to pre-
vent the present harmful tendencies
in this matter"

Thunder Mountain. the new Idaho
gold field, IL the most promising min
eral region In the United States. The
richness OF this country was not
known until late In the fall OF 1901.
after heavy SHOWS had closed all ave-
nues by which the region might be
reached except upon snowahoes. Not
wlthntandlng this fact, Colonel w. II.
Dewey OF Idaho. and others who have
had wide experience In mining. have
expended vast sums In the purchase Of
undeveloped claims. The surface indl-
cations are marvelously rich. These
gold bearing ledges, from 100 10 900
feet, will run through a mountain par
allel 70 each other. In the Dewey
mine. this vast deposit has values run
ming from 81 10 $4,000 per ton. and the
plates Of the lo-stamp mill which runs
on the ore have to be cleaned OF their
accretions Of gold every six hours.
In q few weeks two miners last
spring cleaned up $500 In placer gold,
using small cotton hose TO wash
the gravel, the water coming from q
small reservoir on the mountain slde
The mineral zone covers a large sec
tion OF hitherto unexplored country,
and Ia about IFS miles from railroad.
There are Ave routes leading 10 the
Thunder Mountain country, vlz.. via
Ketchum, Mackay, Boise and Weiaer,
Idaho, and Redrock, Montana, all on
the Oregon Short Line railway. A
great rush to this mecca for miners Is
predicted, and "on TO Thunder Noun

watchword, pixies Peak or Bust" as
soon as the SHOWS disappear 80 that
the camp may be reached with sup
plies, which will probably be between
Ma Is and June l. A scarcity Of pro-
visions at present keeps miners away,
az -four at $50 per sack Is considered
somewhat Of luxury even in the gol-
den land.
Surrounding Thunder Mountain is n
large section Of country adapted TO
agriculture and stock-raising.

Burning Head.

Star City ARK, May 2sth.--A very
remarkable case has Just occurred
here.
Mr.. w. H. McFalls has been suifer-
ing severely for two years with an all
ment that puzzled the doctors and
everybody. The trouble seemed to be
all in his head, which had burning
sensation all the time.
Sometimes this burning pain in the
head would be worse than at other
times, but 1t never left him.
At last he tried new remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills and was agreeably
surprised to find that the burning
gradually disappeared.
An attack OF La Grippe has laid him
up for the last few weeks, but Dodd's
Kidney Pills have banished his old
trouble entirely.
His son George used q few Of the
Pills which his father did not need and
they have done him SO much good
that he says he would not take ten
cents pill for the few he still has left

Ere. Medical Attendance in Germany.

Free Medical Attendance in Germany.
Under an insurance law enacted In
Germany several years ago, S0,OOO,OO0
people receive in return for nominal
sum free medical attendance. The
theory was that suffering humanity
would receive cheap and effective re-
lief from its bodily ills, but in practice
there are many drawbacks. The doc.
tors hired by the state hold that they
are expected to do too much for the
pay they get. In Munich they get
only about SIS per annum. In order
to keep down expenses, the doctors
are inclined to impress upon the pa
tients that nothing is the trouble with
them.
