BALLOON CURE THE NEXT FAD.
Ride in a Balloon May Supplant
Trips to Mountains.

New York Daily News.
A Partisan physician has discovered a
new cure for anaemia. He says that
when people have not enough red cor
puscles in their blood they should take
a short trip in a balloon instead of go
ing to the mountains. He asserts that
one hour in a balloon at the height of a
mile or so will make more red corpuscle.s
and cure more anaemia than six months
of life in the mountains.
This is new and interesting idea, and
opens up various possibilities. If the
time ever comes when this sort of health
cure is fashionable there will be all sorts
of curious developments.
1t will be cheap, that is certain. No
more railway journeys with attendant
bills; no moro expensive hotels, with
toilettes TO match; no more treatments
by renowned doctors; simply an hour in
a balloon now and then, the balloon be,
ing managed by an expert aeronaut, or.
perhaps, firmly anchored to the roof of
house.
|, The time may come when the balloon
will be as common a feature of our CIV
ilization as the automobile now is. 1t is
comforting to reflect that, unlike the
horseless carriage, the airy vehicle can
pass over people without causing them
to Gle of 1t.
But should the balloon habit ever be-
come really common, it is then we may
expect things to happen. Imagine 4
state of civilization in which the balloon
will take the place of the front steps
as summer roosting place! Imagine
the feelings of the inoffensive citizen
walking abroad of an evening. being
pelted by banana peels, orange skins
and cigar ends descending from the
heavens upon him, 1t might even rain
literal cats and dogs If the children shar-
ed the comforts of the balloon, as they
assuredly would in time On the whole,
it is to be hoped that the Partisan ply
sician's remedy will not become popular.

house to the residence of L Brittle, be-
longing to Hon. Charles G. Brown, was

We believe that we have the best
class of readers of any paper in west
ern Kansas. A large per cent of them
have been subscribers for ten or ff-
teen years-and some for twenty years
and will doubtless continue to be
patrons of the WORLD until the end.
Our subscribers take our paper be-
cause they want to and not because
they think the easiest and cheapest
way to rid themselves of our importu-
mites is to subscribe. 1t is the class
of readers who read. The intelligent.
independent class who know what
they want for themselves. The editor
who is everlastingly imploring every
body he meets to take his paper and
who. when necessary, agrees TO send
it for nothing or for half price, may
have a list of subscribers but, as a
rule, he has not list of readers.
They don't want il and, naturally
don't read it. We believe in conduct
ing a newspaper on business princi-
pies We try our best to make it
worth what we charge for it while we
appreciate patronage as highly as any
body we don't propose to induce a sim
gle individual to subscribe against his
will.
