Washington, May 25.-Dr. L. D.
Howard, chief entomologist of the de-
partment of agriculture, has returned
from tour of investigation of the
boil weevil and yellow fever mosquito
problems in Mexico AS result of his
investigations, he says IL Is possible
for yellow fever epidemics to occur at
higher elevations in Mexico than so
far has been the case, and that such
epidemics will occur at the higher ele-
vations If nothing is done to check
them. DR.. Howard says, however, that
the superior board of health of Next
co is working energetically and trying
to improve ON the Havana methods.
The Mexican government has had a
brigade of 900 men at work on the
mosquito fight in Vera Cruz since last
November, and similar work is in
progress at Tampico, Victoria, Linares,
Monterey, Progresso, Merida Cordova,
Orizaba and other points on the Vera
Cruz line. Extensive fumigation work

Lao Yang, May 25.-There is con-

sian cavalry and the japanese. Co.'S
sacks are harassing the Japanese in
the hills and by-roads, generally driy-
ing them back. The general plan OF
the Japanese has not been divllged.
They are apparently taking time,
awaiting the arrival Of reserves from
Korea, who have been delayed owing
TO the impassability of the roads. The
Japanese are sending invalids in the
direction of tie Yalu to a central hos
pital. The Chinese report the de-
ustruction of another Japanese battle
ship off Port Arthur, but the report
is unconfirmed and is not credited.
Several Japanese who landed from
junks near Port Arthur and started
toward the town with the intention of
dynamiting the docks were captured
and shot.
Mukden, May 25.-The Russians OIL

There is fascination about big profits
to business man. But the conserva-
tive and cautious trader prefers to have
the lesser per cent. of interest and the
larger per cent. of safety in his invest
ments There is no business man who
would not consider it a sound PROPOSE
tion to invest in an enterprise in which
absolute loss was impossible and which
offered ninety-eight chances in hun
dred of a rich profit. The statistics of
cures effected by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery show that ninety
eight per cent. of cases of weak lungs
can be absolutely cured. Almost if not
all forms of physical weakness may be
traced to starvation. Starvation saps
the strength. The body is just as much
starved when the stomach cannot 'ex-
tract nutrition from the food it receives
as when there is no food. "Weak
lungs" bronchial affections, obstinate
coughs, call for nourishment. Golden
Medical Discovery" supplies that
nourishment in its most condensed and
assimilable form. 1t makes weak
lungs" strong, by strengthening the
stomach and organs of digestion which
digest and distribute the food, and by
increasing the supply of pure blood.

The Umbrella Tree.

The umbrella tree is found in Ceyion
In greater profusion than anywhere
else in the world. AS matter of scien-
tifc fact these trees grow to their
greatest height and attain to their
greatest size in very wet, rainy coun-
tries. This growth frequently is due
to the fact that the tree requires a
great deal of moisture and not because
1t is needed to keep off the rain. The
tree forms so complete an umbrella
that number of persons might take
shelter under its spreading branches.
The foliage is, as a rule, so thick that it
serves to keep off the rain almost per-
fectly even in heavy downpour.

Attention
Farmers

Why remain in the North and
stay in doors six months in the
year consuming what you raise
during the other six months +?
Go South where you can work
out doors every month in the
year, and where you are pro-
ducing something the year
round. If you are stock raiser
you know your stock are now
"eating their heads off" and,
besides, have to be protected
from the rigors of winter by ex-
pensive shelter. -
Economical stock feeding re-
quires the combination of both
fesh-forming and fat-forming
foods sin certain proportions.
Alabama and Florida produce
in abundance the velvet bean
and cassava, the first flesh
producer, and the latter fat
producer, and they are tn Q
cheapest and best ,fattening ma
terials known to the world.
More money can be made and
with less labor, in general farm
ing, fruit and berry growing
and truck gardening along our
road in the South than in any
other section of the Union.
