The Mammoth and the Mosquito

What has come to pass In thousands OF
wears seems hardly credible. Primitive
man. a weakling in comparison to modern
man, was able to conquer the huge mon
sters of thousands of years ago, such as
the Mammoth, and to-day they are dead
forever; yet the mosquito ana my ny f a;,ve

contagion. The mosquito often carries the
germ of malaria with his bite. The house
Az spreads germs of disease over our 1000.
These bacterial germs, ever hunting Tor
the weak spot, find place In our blood,
and then we suffer from grip, catarrh, con-
sumption, or malaria.
DR.. R. y. Pierce, chief consulting physi-
c;an to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, n. Y, says: eThere
would be no grip epidemics, the germs OF
consumption, or malaria would find no
mace In the human economy, If the blood
were were pure. if the lungs, heart and other
organs were fed ON good blood. Poisons
should not be allowed to accumulate in the
body: to be safe it is best to take gentle
laxative at least once week" Such
vegetable laxative as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant

ent ranging up to $4,000. Mrs. Jennings
has been n dresSmaker during the past
fifteen years of her life. and has studied
the matter of perfect adjustment during
the entire shirt-waist period. She found
no real successful fastener, and set 10
work to study out one of her own sat
isfaction. The little contrivance for
which the patent was issued last De-
cember consists of two pieces, one of
which clamps into the waist and one
to the skirt band. There is no posi-
bility of tearing either the clothing or
the fingers. as is the case with the best
fasteners on the market today.
It was the purpose Of the inventor TO
establish a manufacturing plant her
self but since the offers from large
manufacturing firms are so great and
would appear TO be so advantageous, II
is quite possible that she will give up
all thought of harding the matter and
sell the patent outright
This is not the first venture of Mrs.
Jennings in the way of invention y
little more than a year ago she applied
for a patent for fuel saving crate and
it was issued. but she has not yet
decided just what will be done with
the right.

Especial to m


Washington, March 5.-The Indian
appropriation bill passed by the house
today contains a provision pOStpon-
ing the opening of the Uintah reserva-
ton until Oct. /. 1905. The original
intention was to open the reservation
TO settlement by July /, or Oct next
al the latest. Mr.. Howell energetically
protested against postponement and
had an extended conference this morn
ing with Secretary Hitchcock and asked
him to withdraw the request for this
provision. which had been made TO
Chairman Sherman and by him insert
ed in the bill. Howell was informed
that surveys and allotments could not
possibly be made before Oct. l. 1905.
1t is thought here the same influence
which has succeeded all along in hold
ing up the opening of this reservation,
that Is. those who have leaseholds, is
again at work. An effort win be made
to defeat the provision postponing
