ABOUT PNEUMONIA.

Dr. c. A. Lindsey, secretary of the Connecticut Board of Health, says in monthly bulletin, referring to penumonia:
 ''It is an infectious disease, and the infection is believed to be very preva- lent, and often found in the mouths of healthy people, who are quite able to resist it so long as their respiratory surfaces are in normal condition. But. attacked by la grippe, they be- come also vulnerable to the diseasC germ which causes pneumonia.
 "Fog, which is a combination of dust and moisture, affects the health of large communities in a large de gree. This is notably true of citie: as compared with the country, be, cause, in the cities, the fog is SC largely composed of carbon from tn, combustion of coal. There is no req son to doubt that the increased use o soft coal this winter has been an i'm portant factor in the prevalence o pneumonia. '"

A piece of alleged railroad news, affecting Arizona, comes from Texas which has not appeared in print in this territory yet. A telegram dated Austin, Texas, March 27, says: 1.-The Phelps-Dodge syndicate is said to be behind the San Diego and Eastern railroad company, which has just let the contract for the construction of 225 miles of railroad between Yuma, Ariz., and San Diego, Cal. The Fl Paso and Southwestern road, which is also owned by the Phelps-Dodge company, is to be extended west from Bisbee, Ariz., to connect with the San Diego and Eastern at Yuma. This will form a new southern transcon- tinental route, the eastern terminus of the Fl Paso and Southwestern be- ing at Fl Paso." While the San Diego and Eastern railroad has been a very much discussed proposition for number of years the information contained in the above that the con
 tract has been let for the construction of 225 miles of it will be real news.

Thomas Huxley it was, who described the brain as a perfect logic engine, work inc without friction, without fret and without fear, with the strain equally divided. OThe question then becomes" says Dr. Pierce, vhow to run this engine without blowing up the boiler, without accident. and without sending the loco motive to the repair shop An ignorant man cannot run an engine; neither can A man over-work his brain unless he observes certain laws of health without meeting with some disaster" If the eneine is properly oiled and cared for 1t will last a great many years, and m the same way if the human mechanism IS nroperlv looked after 1t will last the allotted three score and ten years. As civilization progresses, the draft on the braiu and nerves increases, but no class of work burns up blood as fast as brain work. Hard work confined to shop or office, without the invigorating air and sunshine becomes the pace that kills,
 fine muscles and flesh become fabby and the blood watery. The human system must be a laboratory for the constant ,,,arufacture of rich, red blood. Success: and courage depend upon the blood anC the blood QepenuS upon NhS 9eOAi-
 for the stomach, when healthy, take up from the food we eat the element! required for the blood. If the stomach cannot assimilate the food taken up then the blood and the nerves starve to the proper nourishment they. require This human machine soon breaks down like the engine without coal for its ooil CTS, because the heart, liver and lung do not receive the pure blood neces aary to keep them strong and active.

WHAT NEXT?

The board of supervisors will meet next Monday in regular quarterIy ses- sion. One of the weighty duties which will devolve upon them will be the opening of bids for the installa- tion of hot water heating plant for the court house, and the awarding of a contract which. if carried out will require several thousand dollars of the tax payers money.
 The installation of a hot water heating plant, viewed from a business stand point, with the scarcity of money to meet the ordinary and nee essary expenses of the county, and that with tax rate which is above the interest rate on government bonds, is about as sensible as was the move to haul immense quantities of rocks from the adjacent hills and pile them up in ungainly heaps in the plaza, robbing it of whatever natural beauty it formerly possessed and disfiguring it beyond description.
 Of course it Is impossible to predict or foreteIl what new scheme may be evolved at its session for the further suuandering of the public funds, but judging from the past it is safe to say that the fertile minds of the member; of the board will be equal to the em. ergency and that some new scheme for keeping the treasury down may be launched.
 It is barely possible that some ricf mining company may be found which is in need of few thousand dollar: to add to the dividends of its stock. holders.
 4 signal service bureau on top oi the court house would be a fitting re lief to the rock piles on the plaza.
 Or in case there is no other feasibl, plan to spend the money the employ ment of a few extra attorneys by tho board, at an expense of S250 eacf would reduce the surplus, and in crease the deficIt.
 Of course these suggestions are en tirely gratuitous and may also bc considered superfuous as the board heretofore has really not needed an! suggestions in this line.

 A consignment of shovels for the Samuel Hill hardware company is also stacked up there. There are not quite a car load of these but to the unin- itiated there looks to be enough shovels to supply this entire section for a year. When the Journal Miner representative who is inexperienced Tn the shovel business asked Station Agent West what he supposed the above company intended doing with so many shovels, he laughed and re- piled that such shipments were of fre- quent occurrence not only by this company but by other business firms in Prescott.
 A big crate, containing what ap- peared to be a fine buggy within it, stood there with the name ot HarI } Eckel on it.

who would naturally be business men, cannot attend to the business of such organization successfully and at the same time give the attention to their own business which it would require to be successful.
 Boards of trade or chambers of com merce, where they have proven a great and powerful factor in the progress of their respective communities have employed secretaries who were compe- tent, men of ability, who devoted their entire time to the business. They have also employed a great deal of literature in setting forth the par ticular advantages possessed by the towns 1n which they were located, and the surrounding sections.
 It takes money to pay salaries and it takes money to procure printed matter. Whenever Prescott business men feel able to organize on these lines, and to pay the expenses of such an organization the town should have a board of trade or chamber of com merce. Until they are prepared to do so the organization would do more harm than good. 1t could accomplish ed no results for the town and would fail, just as every one organized has failed. The salary of a secretary alone, one who is thoroughly cOmpe- tent to fill the position and make the organization a genuine benefit to the town would be anywhere from $50 to S25O per month. Rent of suitable quarters, printing and incidental ex- peuses would amount to as much more.
 If the business men of the town are prepared and willing to conduct a board of trade in this manner, the only way which would succeed, nc time should be lost in organizing. If they are not the town had better worry along without one until such time as it is prepared to carry It i through to success, and in the mean time the Yavapai Club, which is a slendid institution and the member ship of it is composed of representa- tive citizens and business men, can, to a certain extent, perform the func. lions of a board of trade, though different in its objects.

RULES OF HEALTH.

RULES OF HEALTH.
 vRemember this, that our bodies will not stand the strain of over-work with out good, pure blood any more than the eugine can run smoothly without oil" After many years of study in the active Dractice of medicine, Dr. R. w. Pierce found that when tue stomach was out ot order, the blood impure and there were symptoms of general break down, a tonic made of the alterative extracts ot certain herbs and roots was the best cor rective. This he called: Dr. Pierce Golden Medical Discovery. For over a third of a century this tonic and altera- tive has been more largely sold than any other blood medicine or nerve tome Being made without alcohol, this Med ical Discovery does not shrink up the red blood corpuscles, but on the other 1 hand it increases their number, and they become round and healthy. It helps | tbe stomach to assimilate or take up the proper elements from the food, thereby ! helping digestion and curing dysPePsla, heartburn, and many uncomfortable | symptoms, such as heart-palpitation due | to gas formed in the stomach. It 1s especially adapted in diseases attended with excessive tissue waste, especially IT convalescence from the various spring levers, whether of nalarial or tyPholc character. As tonic and reconstructiv' during and after the influences of griI l it will prove of particular value. It ha' been extensively used as re- bu1lde after the severity of rheumatic attack

BOARD OF TRADE.

The editor of the Fruit and Irriga- tion Age, during a recent visit here, talked among our citizens the impor- tance of organizing a board of trade or chamber of commerce for the city of Prescott. He remarked that he had not come across a town of its size in his travels on the coast which did not have such an organization.
 The good which might be obtained through such an organization is fully appreciated and admits of no argument. It has been demonstrated in other towns, but unless the organization Is effected on a proper basis it might just as we'll not be talked of.
 Prescott has had several experiences with boards of trade, chambers of commerce, and mining exchanges and all have proven failures. An organi- zation of this kind had better never be effected unless it is on lines which will prove successful.
 The maintenance of a successful board of trade means considerable eS- pense. Previous efforts have been made along lines of economy which have proven their failures. Mem CTS,

An Indian Territory paper says that there are three occasions which may be depended on with reasonable cer- tainty to produce rain in that section. One is the pulling off of a Sunday school picnic, another is the coming of a circus to town and the other is the spring time millinery opening. Bartlesville miiliuers this week held their annual opening sales of spring finery, with the usual result that it rained. The drouth which has pre- vailed since last October, ,uninterrupt- ed save for two or three light showers, was broken on Thursday by one of the kind of rains that are denominated over in Arkansas as ''frog strangler: and gully washers.

One of the interesting features of the Cuban sanitary exhibition at the Fair will be a mosquito incubator, which, is to include the dreaded vel low fever mosquito. Since three will be no yellow fever within a thousand miles of the Fair, the fever mosquito will be quite harmless; and he will be under glass. No one can look upon him without curiosity mixed with awe. To think that he could conceal for 300 years his devilish work, and no one be the wiser. It is a record of successful covering up of crime that is unparalleled. It is more subtle and cunning than Jack the Ripper 5 frightful career.
