BLAMES GERMANS
FOR AFRICAN WAR
Missionary Says Hereros Re
belled Against Cruelty-De-
MES Massacre Story.

Berlin, March PA missionary in
southwest Africa has written to the
Reichsbote, defending the Herros
against the charges of massacring
women and children and the indis-
criminate slaughter Of men. He gives
had been reported killed, but who are
all alive, altho the Hereros had oppor-
tunities to murder them.
Native Christians, the missionary
adds, assisted. a number Of women
and children to reach the military
stations safely. One native, Eliphas,
offered his oxen to carry the women
and children into Okahandja, notwith-
standing that the oxen might be
seized.
A missionary named Brockmann
went on foot, with women and chill
dren, unframed thru the hostile He
reros to Okahandja,' and one German,
an unmarried woman, who fled to
Otjimbingve thru the warlike Here
ros, arrived unframed.
The missionary also relates cases in
which three Germans took refuge in
his house, two of whom were traders
and had a reputation for depressing
natives, and the third, named Mar
tens, who, a year ago Travelled thru
Hereroland, seeking for 9. spot to
establish farm, who gave the ma

and seized and shot the two traders,

that the Hereros rebelled partly thru
the expressions Of the traders, partly
owing to the cruelties inflicted on

GETTING RID OF MOSQUITOES.
Texas Town Shows 1t is Possible to
Exterminate the Pests.

Laredo. Texas. is proof that it is
possible to rid town of mosquitoes.
In order to do this concerted action
is necessary. The people of Laredo
are working on this theory and 1t
costs a citizen OF that border town a
fine of from S. to $40 every time
young mosquitoes are found about his
premises.
1t is pretty well established that
the germs of yellow jack are carried
by mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are bad
enough but yellow fever is worse,
and the health authorities in this lit
tic Texas town believe that both can
be avoided by enforcing certain sim
pie laws of sanitation.
The people of Laredo have learned
that a swamp or a marsh is not
necessary to the propagation OF mos
quitoes but that the insects are hatch
ed in thousand and one places not
ordinarily thought Of.
1t your next-neighbor throws tin
can into the back yard and rain wat
er accumulates in the can and re-
mains there for even few hours,
the result is likely to be small
swarm of mosquitoes on your premis'
| es. Cisterns and barrels of water,
pools &C rain water standing in gut
tiers or i'll flower-pots are faVorite
places for mosquitoes to breed. the
obvious advice is: Get rid of the water
"a, ooNnv IL uyit h n cnrpnu
The difficulty is. of course. that it
is Impossible to secure concerted ac-
ton to fight mosquitoes according to
this method, except under stress OF
great public danger. In Laredo there
would be no crusade against mosqui-
toes were it not for the fact that the
health authorities and the people gen
orally are convinced that the insects
| transmit the germs OF yellow fever
/ 1t has been declared by the city
council of Laredo that all wells, CTS
terms. tanks, reservoirs and other wat
err containers which are not either
coated with oil or protected by screens
are public nuisance, and the persons
| on whose premises they are found
| are liable to fine in the police court
/ Moreover, the law is being enforced
/ The result is that mosquitoes are
practically unknown in that town
| The same is true in several other Tex
AZ towns along the border.

ORIGIN OF MONETARY NAMES
As Explained by an Employe OF tho
Treasury Department.

r. There ha been a scarcity OF small
change Of late" said C. M. Bingham
ton, for 40 years with the United
States Treasury department. All
sorts Of reasons are assigned to ex-
plain this condition, but, whatever the
cause. it, is vexatious. However. 1t is
not so bad now in the way Of exchang-
es as il was in the olden times.
The early Italians used cattle in
stead of coin A person would some
times send for change for a thousand
pound bullock. whom he would receive
a % pounds sheep, or, perhaps, If he
wanted very small change, there
would be q few lambs sent back. The
inconvenience Of keeping flock OF
sheep at ones bankers led TO the in

monetary names came from. III tell

Formerly every gold watch
weighed SO mary ~carat3.' from which
it became usual to call silver watch

WALKING With Broken Leqs.

Experiments have recently been
made by the London Hospital with
new splints which enable a person
with broken leg or thigh to go about
his business within a few days of his
accident. The invention halls from
the continent, where it has been in use
for some years The principle OF
the splint is that round the seat OF
the fracture is fastened a hardened
leather case, which fits the leg close
ly everywhere and prevents any
movement of the fractured bones. The
weight of the body is then carried by
jointed steel rods attached TO anoth-
err case fastened above or below the
knee. according to the place OF frac-
ture With this appliance the patient
is enabled to walk before the broken
bone is joined. and there is none OF
that after trouble with stiff joints
which comes when limb has been
held rigidly for weeks.
The method of applying the splint
is to first take a cast in plaster OF
the broken limb, from the plaster cas-
ing to make a model of the leg, and
upon this to build up, in leather
strengthened with steel bands, case
which exactly fits the limb. Along
each side are clamped strong and adj
Unstable steel supports. which carry
the weight OF the body from the leath'
er casing to the ground. Around the
ankle and foot is placed steel sole
piece and anklet, which receives the
other end of the jointed support.
Thus a man who has had the mis-
fortune to break his leg may in a rev
days be out and about his business
since the appliance is concealed by
his clothing. The only indications
that anything was wrong would DC
stiffness in walking and the necessity
of using a stick.-London Hospital

CHEER UP!
Why Worry About Indigestion When
 Pepsikola Will Give You Relief.

Why anyone should worry about indigestion said the head clerk in Bears drugstore, lis hard for us to un- derstand.
 We have been selling Pepsikola for several months and in all our experi- ence we never knew a remedy to give such universal satisfaction.
 We know four or five chronic old dyspeptics on the verge of despair for years who today are cheerful and hap py all because of the beneficial effects of the little chocolate coated tablet taken after. each meal.
 If people only realized what a won derful remedy it is and how much good it has done right in this very town they would not doubt or hesitate another minute" Words cannot express the great good it has done in Phoenix and Pepsikola must be a remedy of more than unusual merit for if Mir Bear had to refund the money to very many dis satisfied customers he would certainly discontinue selling it on his own per sonal guarantee. Ask yourself if this is not true.
 If you are thin. nervous, worried and low in spirits just cheer up and try a twenty-five cent box of Pepsikola on the druggists say so and if it fails to give you new nerve force, new am bition and new energy you can get back your money without any question or argument.

THE WOMAN BEAUTIFUL.
B. L. Bear Tells Why LaxakoIa Beau
 tifies the Skin.

Drop in most any time now and you are apt to see one of the clerks wrap= ping up a bottle of LaXakola. Phoe- nix ladies have learned of the ramark- able effect of Laxakola upon the bile pigments, and the beneficial action 1t has upon the skin and complexion is really surprising. MT. Bear will tell you the demand for it is increasing rapidly, not so much on account of the advertising. but because this or that lady drops into the store with the statement that she has been recom- mended to try it.
 Probably no other remedy ever made so enRiable reputation in so short q tine for S2xakola is sold now in al- most every prominent city in America. Should you need a mild, safe, gentle liquid laxative that will improve your appearance, cure constipation and make you feel better in every way, try a twenty-five cent bottle of the great tonic laxative.

TAKING DESPERATE CHANCES.

It is true that many contract colds and recover from them without taking any precaution or treatment, and a knowledge of this fact leads others to take their chances instead of giving their colds the needed attention. 1t should be borne in mind that every cold weakens the lungs, lowers the vii tality, makes the system less able to withstand each succeeding cold and paves the way for more serious dis eases.
