On the isthmus, as In all tropical
countries, plenty of vigorous outdoor
exercise is essential to the perseva-
ton of health. Riding, tennis, hunt
ing, rowing and swimming should be
the daily sports of Americans who go
down there.
In that relaxing climate there is a
constant temptation to live the dolce
far niente life like the natives, but
the man who does so feels the heat
of the climate far more than his neigh
Dor who goes in for vigorous exercise.
1t is best not to work too hard nor
for too many hours a day. The siesta
should not be missed. The man who
tries to do too much on the isthmus
will soon end by being unable to do
anything.
But a mans health in the tropics
depends largely upon his being strict
ly temperate in his mode of living.
A Canadian doctor who lived five
years in Panama gave the following
advice:
Get up early-say, at 6 or 7. Begin
the day with a bath, and then have
coffee, oranges and rolls Have break

ate climates would regard as q mid
day dinner.
"In common with many old residents
of the tropics, | used to begin mine
by taking some ripe fruit and follow
ing it with beefsteak, vans, potatoes
and coffee. | always made my meals
simple, and found that it paid to do so.
Have dinner at and follow it up
with a quiet evening. Smoke cigar on
the veranda or play game of chess
with a friend. Go to bed at 8 or 10
o'clock"

"You see they were all whisky trad

been given as bad name as Coyotes

WEISER CITIZENS
ARE PROGRESSIVE
Vote in Favor Of Sewer
and Funding Bonds AL
most Unanimous.

| The result of the vote on sewe,
bonds demonstrates that. while there
are few people in Weiser who arc
opposed to municipal improvements
the great majority are in favor of it
and are public spirited and progress,
sive, and appreciate modern con.
veniences.
On the first proposition, to issue
sewer bonds to the amount of $4,000
l18 votes were cast, of which but 90
were opposed on the second PROPOSE
ton, to issue bonds to the amount OF
50, 600 to provide for the funding
purchase and redeeming of certain
outstanding Indebtedness, 1877 votes
we're cast, of which but Is were on
posed.
The vote by ward was as follows.
First ward-In favor of first prop
osition, IA.
Against, IA.
In favor of second proposition, IS.
Against, 10.
Second ward--In favor of first
proposition, 80.

Third ward-In favor of frat

The vote shows conclusively the
people realize the benefits of I'm.

grows, she must keep up with the
march of progress.
Council will now arrange for dis
posing OF the bonds, and as soon
thereafter as possible, work will
begin on the sewer system.

Russia is gathering all her reserve
forces and the war promises to be
Hong and bloody. The world is al
most in the dark as to the events
taking place and no confirmation of
OF any of the reported engagements
is had. Japan is allowing no
information to get out as she does
not desire the Russian government
at st. Petersburg to learn what is
being done to the Muscovites.
Another stray dispatch was sent
out from London on the 10th of a
great naval battle at Port Arthur in
which the Russians had eight vessels
sunk and 10 captured, the Japs hav-
ing one battleship and one cruiser
badly disabled. There is no way of
ascertaining the truth of it.
The Russian fleet at Vladivo-
stock Is said to be frozen IN, and the
port at Japan's mercy. 1t is said
10 Russian torpedo boats are there,
4 battleships got out and are looking
for an opportunity to damage Japan.
A body Of 900 Russian soldiers
got lost on the ice of Lake BaikaI
and were all frozen to death.
A shipment of canned goods which
left San Francisco for the Russians
was captured by the Japanese as was
also a consignment of wagons.
Two war ships purchased by Japan
from the Argentine republic have ar
rived safely at Yokohama.

president Roosevelt is as fond OF

as a savage of the gorgeous feathers
and paint with which he decorates
his person. 1t is limited that the
president is going to have guard of

brass buttons, red sashes, epaulettes,
swords and spurs-a perfect debauch
OF the sensations. The idea is Euro

land through bitches Is not SO very
unlike taking water off through
bitches. In sections where drainage
Is necessary the open bitches have
been found very inconvenient and
tillng the water beneath the surface

Open bitches are always in the

valuable land. Keeping these bitches
cleaned and repaired is a great an.
