standing the strenuous life of Mr..
Powell, he claims to be the youngest
old man in the county. He is strong
and active and vigorous as the ordi-

fine state Of preservation can prob.
ably be attributed to the fact that he
never worries, he always sees the
bright side, and he takes life as il

When every Tom, Dick and Harry is
getting up Guessing Contest, it seems
about time that a steady old paper like
ours should discontinue them, but our init
many protests from good and sincere
friends-real workers for the paper-that
we have concluded to have one more at
least.
This will be a short contest, and will
not be Doomed" to any great extent. The
season is unfavorable too-a great many
will stay out on account of hot weather.
But let us remind sagacious contestants
of this: The fewer the contestants, the
better the chances of winning.
In many respects this is the most ia
verable contest we have offered, and we
hope the reader of these lines will have
good luck. Nothing vcntured, nothing
gained.
While The National Tribune Guessing
Contests are not as large as some that are
much advertised, the absolute fairness and
openness that have characterized them
have made them very popular. Fewer
people engage in these contests, therefore
the chances of winning are better than to
engage in a contest in which many thou
sands take part.
This point is often overlooked.

brings unexpected comfort.
Two companies of the 18th q. S. are
stationed at Fort Bliss. under the COM
mand of Maj. Charles G. Ballou. an Hi
nois man and graduate of West Point,
and Major Of the 9TH Ill. during the Span
ish-American war. Second in command is
Capt. Alfred T. Smith. a Washington Cd.
o. boy, who entered the army as an en-
listed man, served as Corporal and Serg.
cant in the 9th U. s., and received Sec
ond LieutenantS commission in the 18th
y. S. in 1897.
Maj. Ballou. Capt Smith, and their
Lieutenants are all capable. bright, alert
soldierly men, who keep their command
up to the highest state of efficiency and
discipline, and Fort Bliss is a delight to
all scrupulOusly clean. Everything is in
perfect order. The barracks. mess rooms,
recreation halls, cook rooms, dining rooms.
etc. of the men are supplied with every
comfort and convenience of the best mod
ern homes, and the men could not be bet
ter lodged or fed in a good hotel There
are hot and cold baths for every one. The
cook and mess-rOOms are as spOtless as a
New England woman's kitchen, and the
fragrance that comes from the boilers and
ovens would tempt any man.
Officers and men on duty look as If they
had just stepped out of a bandbox. and
they move about with the springy vivacity
and alertness of well-trained, vigorous sol
diers.
l begin to think that my friends asser-
ton that one man on the north side of
the Rio Grande was worth about 10 on
the south, was not exaggerating. If ap-
pearances and surroundings count for any
thing, his estimate is reasonable one.

CThe purchaser of SIS worth of guesses
pays less than Sc. guess)
For the money spent in the purchase of
guesses the purchaser can have fullpaid
subscription or advertising coupons, valid
during the year 1908. The subscription
coupons are good for new subscribers
The advertising coupons are good for new
advertising, and are not transferable to
advertising agents.
The special feature of this contest is the
liberal allowance Of guesses. The guesses
alone are worth the money; besides, the
coupons provide way of getting the
money back, whether a prize is won or rot

Answers to Questions.

The term of this contest being short,
there will be little time for correspond
ence; therefore we will try to frame such
questions as we think will be asked, and
print the answers, as follows:
If send $40, or $40, hop many guesses
could get and hop many couponsy For
$40 you would get 12S guesses, and 10
coupons. For $50 you would get double
256 guesses and 20 coupons. and Sc on.
After making the first s. deal, can l
make as many such deals as / please, being
allomcd Ga gucsses for each deal! Yes.
For the credit hare rith you and some
coupons / haze on hand can hare guesses
in this ne,o contest? No. 1t would be an
easy way for The National Tribune to
settle; but if we did this the present con-
test would not be the absolutely fair con-
test that we all like so much. We must
treat all alike. Cash deals are the only
kind of deals that secure guesses.
DO the Cents of the Treasury Receipts
hare to be guessed? Cents will be counted
in this contest, but guesses sent in with
out cents will be accepted.
Can hare books for a deal in this con-
test? No. Our book stock is low, and
very soon we would disappoint many
friends by being unable to fill orders-a
good reason to leave out books in this con-
test. The feature of this contest is that
so many guesses are allowed for S. deals
that the guesses alone are worth the
money. Giving coupons that are good for
subscriptions and advertising simply pro-
vides n way for those who will sell them
of getting their money back-whether
they win prize or not.
Can t1in nithOut hdUing my name and
address printed in the paper? Yes; but we
much prefer printing the winners list in
full.

Eject of Radium on the Human Body.

Theodore Waters in Everybody's Maya
zine)
No one, not even Madame Curie, the
discoverer has yet seen Radium in pure
state. 1t has been possible to obtain it so
far only In combination with other ma
terial. 1t is judged by the effect of its
properties, which are truly remarkable. 1t
is product of pitchblende, which is found
deep in the earth. The quantity already
found is so small that the figurative price
of gram has been placed at $4,000. 1t
may be that there are large quantities Of
it stored under the surface somewhere,
but the man who found quantity of it
in a state of anything like purity would
probably not live to tell the tale. The
particles which fly from it are charged
with electricity. and at night it shines
forth with a phosphorescence which has
been shining since the beginning of all
things, and which will go on shining until
the final extinction of all matter. A small
quantity Of it in the possession of NJ.
Curie has caused the most painful blisters
when brought in contact with the skin.
A small particle of Radium salt was
sealed in a glass tube, placed in paste
board box and tied to Professor Curie's
sleeve for an hour ard a half 1t pro-
duced a suppurating sore, which did not
heal for over three months. Professor
Curie thinks that q person entering
room containing pound of Radium would
be blinded.

A Northern Soldier Boy Sleeps in a Southern

titled to prizes. A list of the awards, Civ

weeks in which to claim prize in case a
mistake has been made against him. BIZ

A Good Investment.

The investment of S., or even a much
larger sum, for these guesses is regarded
favorably by many shrewd business men.
The coupons that go with the deal enable
them to get their money back, so that the
possibilities of the large gain presented by
winning a big prize actually cost nothing.
A contest that is absolutely fair and that
is restricted to a comparatively few peo-
pie like this one offers better chances of
gain than investments i'll bonds, stocks and
speculative ventures generally.
