Boston's Breathing Spots.

Boston has 1901 acres in her main
park system, 900 acres in marine and
small parks and 1S1 acres in play
grounds. There are eight main parks,
ranging in area from 80 to 527 acres,
and IA Fairgrounds ranging in area
from half an acre to ~ acres.
The latter have been purchased and
equipped in the last 10 years and are
treated as parks by the board of COM
missioners. The results of the in
vestment for land and improvements
have come up fully to the eXpecta-
tions of the projectors of the play
ground movement and have been sat
isfactory to the people.
The public Fairgrounds of Boston
are not a part of the school play
ground system. They are the out
growth of movement to establish
small parks and Fairgrounds in the
congested districts remote from the
larger parks. Land was purchased
for the larger Fairgrounds or ath-
letic fields as it was purchased for
parks. and they are under the super
vision of the park board.
The city that develops a properly
planned and regulated park system
builds better than it knows.

sloughs and creeks impeded his pro-
gress and he gave up the idea in des-
pair. There were no boats in the
vicinity to reach the castaway, so
acting on the spur of the moment he
threw off his shoes and plunged in
the water. His progress was retard-
ed by the heavy wind which blew the
waves in his face, almost choking
him, but he kept on, and after swim
ming more than mile he at last
reached the houseboat more dead
than alive. 1t was one of those
struggles such as men are only cap

Very Remarkable Cure of Diarrhoea.

"About six years ago for the first
time in my life 1 had a sudden and
severe attack of diarrhoea," says
Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas.
Il got temporary relief, but it came
back again and again, and for six
long years 1 have suffered more mis-
cry and agony than L can tell. 1t
was worse than death. My husband
spent hundreds of dollars for physi-
clans prescriptions without avail.
Finally we moved to Bosque county,
our present home, and one day L hap
pened to see an advertisement of
Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and Di-
arrhoea Remedy with the testimonial
of a man who had been cured by it.
The case was so similar to my own
that 1 concluded to try the remedy.
The result was wonderful. 1 could
hardly realize that l was well again,
or believe it could be so after having
suffered so long, but that one bottle
of medicine, costing but few cents,
cured me-" For sale by all drug
