Cold Water Poison Absorbing.

In connection with the subject OF
water, there is one peculiar property of
tha, liquid with which every one should
be made acquainted, and that is. its
capacity for absorbing impurities, which
increases proportionately the colder i;
gets. Hence, water that has stood in
an insufficiently ventilated sleeping
chamber all right is not only unpieas-
ant, but positively injurious to drink,
since it readily absorbs the poisonous
gases given off by respiration and the
action OF the skin. An ordinary pitclor
OF water, under such conditions, at
temperature OF sixty degrees will be
found to have absorbed during the night
from pint to pint and half OF car
bonic acid gas and an increase OF am
monia. Ice waite: is an Objectionable
drink at all times, bu. il it is ird;llgcl
in, the vessel containing it should never
be left uncovered in sleeping or sitting
rooms, because at freezing point its Ca
pacity for absorbing these dcleterious
substances is rearly doubled.

Catarrh Causes Female Diseases.
America is the land Of nervous women
The great majority OF nervous women are
so because they are suffering from som0
form OF fema.e disease. By far the great.
est number OF female troubles are caused
directly by catarrh. These women despair
of recovery. Eema.e trouble is so common,
so prevalent, that they accept it as almost
inevitable. The greatest obstacle in tho
way of recovery is that thy do not un.
dertsand that it is catarrh which is tho
source OF their illness
In female complaint ninety-nine cases

ALL ARE CRIMINALS,
Automobiles Have Not Registered
Their Machines.

Every automobilist IN the state of Kan
sas Is a criminal according to the law
which was passed by the last legislature.
The law provides that every owner OF
an automobile shall register with the
secretary of state and shall pay a small
fee for registering. 1t also provides that
number shall be given the machine and
that the number shall be put on the back
of the automobile, so that people who are
run over and knocked down and out by
the devil wagon can tell who did the
stunt.
This law was considered a Joke by the
plutocrsts who owned the machines AMI
they have paid no attention to it. The
legislature considered it joke when they
passed the law for they revised it and put
in a few preliminary sentences which are
not calculated to add to the dignity of the
measure. The remarks inculcated had
references to a life line which was to
be thrown out by the owners of. the
devil wagons to people who might be
crippled by them.
The attorney general when asked for an
opinion regarding the law said that the
law was valid and that it would be en-
forced If a complaint should be made.
