play is the opening bill presented by
Handlers comedians, who come to the
opera house for a three nights en-.

N FOB MARCH.

Tho health department of the city Of
Washington has given out some sng-
gestions for the care of health dur.ng
the month of March. the most formid.
able month with which the health OF
the community has TO cope. These have
especial reference 10 the grip, which
is generally particularly prevalent dur
ing this month. The suggestions Civ.
en- are as applicable to the climate OF
New Mexico as To that Of Washington.
Following are the suggestions:
Keep away from alcoholic drinks.
2 Battle frequently in tepid Or
cold water.
3 Sleep at least eve hours every
might,
4. DO not make the mistake OF
thinking that the only way Of catching
the grip Is BY germs.
s. Make everybody destroy infect
va COMING.
s. Keep yonr wraps and oyershoes
with you.
Don't overcat.
Inasmnch as none Of the sugges.
lions given would, II followed, injure
q healthy person. there can be no pos
siale damage incurred from adopting
one or all as precautionary measures.
Pneumonia, grip and kindred diseases
are much more easily prevented than
cured. Many persons are afflicted I'M
necessarily, through ignorance or
carelessness. And there can be little
question that the suggestions here
II rellgiously observed. would
not only render one immune from the
disease In question. but many others
as well.

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, March 21-
Mrs. A. i. Smith of this place, says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the besa
remedy for growing girls. Mrs.
Smith emphasizes her recommends
ton by the following experience:
My daughter was thirteen years
old last November and it is now two
years since she was first taken with
Crazy Spells that would last a week
and would then pass off. In a month
she would have the spells again. At
these times she would eat very little
and was very yellow, even the whites
Of her eyes would be yellow.
"The doctors gave us no encour-
agement, they all said they could not
help her After taking one box OF
Dodd's Kidney Pills, she has not had
one bad spell. OF course, we contin-
ued the treatment until She had used
in all about a dozen boxes, and we
still give them to her occasionally.
when she is not feeling well. Dodd's
Kidney Pills are certainly the best
medicine for growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice of
Mrs. Smith, for by SO doing they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and insure a healthy, happy
future for them.

Fireproof Cloth.

AS to making textiles fireproof,
Professor Doremus of New York,
whose reputation as a chemist is
wider than America, says: After the

whose summer dress took fire from

search among chemical agents to de-
termine which would most effectively
render dresses non-innammable. None
equaled ammonium phosphate. Each
time the underclothing and dresses of
my children were washed this chemi-
cal was added to the starch solution,
which rendered them flameproof. For
forty years l have in vain most zeal
ously urged the employment of chemi-
cal agents to save life, but the apathy
of the public surpasses belief"

1t is a matter of history that the

was introduced about $50 B. C. Pre-

and no man could consider himself
abreast of the times unless he was
