Physical Morality.

Perhaps nothing will so much hasten
the time when body and mind Will
both be adequately cared for as the
diffusion of the belief that the preser-
vation OF health is duty. Few seem
conscious that there is such thing as
physical morality. Mems habitual
words and acts might imply that they
are at liberty to treat their bodies as
they please. The fact is. all breaches
of the laws of health are physical sins.
When this is generally seen. then.
and not till then, will the physical
training of the young receive all the
attention it deserves.-Dr. Youmans.

MULE FINDS RICH LEAD ORE.

cry in Couer d'AIene Reoion,

cry in Couer d'Aiene Region.
Half the lead that has been mined
in the United States has come from
the famous Occur d'Alenes, the most
productive lead mines In the world.
Like many of the richest mines. they
were discovered by pure luck. A man
lent his mule to two prospectors. In
the course of their wanderings the
mule was tied to a tree. and he, be-
coSing impatient, paved the ground
and uncovered lead vein which is
now the site of the famous Bunker
Hill Sullivan mine.
The owner of the mule sued for a
third interest in the claim and the
courts granted 1t to him. stating that
as the mule had made the discovery.
and that as he was its owner. he was
entitled to the mules share. The
three owners sold their discovery for
100000 and nothing was too good for
that mule for the rest OF his days. He
was exhibited in private car and
tombstone marks his grave. His har-
ness hangs in a noted saloon, where IL
is gazed upon with deepest reverence
by the Old-time prospectors.
The mine is the richest silver-lead
mine In the world, yielding a net rev.
enue of 81 100000. Since their discov-
cry in 1884 the. Occur d'Alene mines
have produced nearly 100000 900 in
gold, silver and lead.

Weld County Beet Crop.

Denver, Colo, Sept. IA Greeley
dispatch says: The Greeley sugar
factory will start slicing beets Mon
day, September 25th. The first orders
to the farmers to dig beets were sent
out from the office to-day. The farm
ers are to commence work next Mon
day morning. This unusually early
start is made to forestall a possible
congestion of beets during the month
of November. By far the largest crop
ever grown will be handled by the
Weld county facories. Eighteen thou
sand acres were planted, and from
these about 100000 tons were raised
for which the farmers will be paid

LIQUOR LICENSE LAWS
APPLY TO PATENT MEDICINES.
Ruling Of Internal Revenue Commits
sion that Alcohol in Medicines Will
Subject Druggists and Other Deal

Ruling Of Internal Revenue Commits
sion that Alcohol in Medicines Will
Subject Druggists and Other Deal
ers to Payment of Liquor License.
Washington, Sept. 15.-The commits
sioner of internal revenue to-day rem
dered a decision that will seriously af-
feet a number of patent medicines
composed largely of distilled liquors.
He has reversed ruling of his depart
ment made many years ago and now
decides that the manufacturers of
these medicines must take out IL
censes as rectifiers and liquor dealers
and that druggists and others handling
them will have to pay the usual retail
liquor dealers license.
The commissioner in a letter of in
struction to collectors Of internal rev.
enue says that there are a number of
compounds on the market going under
the names of medicines that are COM
posed chiefly of distilled spirits, with
out the addition of drugs or medicines
in sufficient quantities to change ma
terially the character of the whisky.
He authorizes collectors to impose the
special tax on manufacturers of every
compound composed of distilled spirits,
even though drugs have been declared
to have been added thereto, when
their presence is not discoverable by
chemical analysis or it is found that
the quantity of drugs in the prepare
tion is so small as to have no appre-
ciable effect on the liquor"
1.-The same ruling" declares the COM
missioner, applies to every alcoholic
compound labeled as remedy for dis
eases and containing in addition to dis
titled spirits only substances OF ingre'
dients which. however large their
quantity, are not of a character to i'm
part any medicinal qualities to the
compound"
To prevent injustice being done. the
ruling will not be put into effect until
December /, 1905.
Some of the medicines are said to
have immense sales in prohibition
communities, figures collected in Mas
sachusetts recently showing, it is said
that one such advertised compound
with a high percentage of whisky had
been bought to the extent of 100000
bottles in one year in prohibition com
munities of one New England state.

Outdoor Treatment for Tuberculosis

Medical experience in France has
shown that the treatment of tubercu-
losis OF the bones and joints and other
forms of the disease by the open-air
or outdoor method is quite as superior
to the ordinary methods as is the
outdoor treatment OF tuberculosis of
the lungs. Profting by the experience
of France, the New York Association
for Improving the Condition of the
Poor has made provision at its sea
side camp on Coney Island for the
treatment of children suffering from
various forms of tubercular disease.

When to Take the Cold Bath.

The morning is the best time for a
cold bath, because one is warm when
he first gets out of bed, and is in the
best condition for a healthy reaction.
But the bath should be taken imme-
diately upon rising. This does not
mean within FIVE or ten minutes, after
he has moved about the room and
become chilled: 1t means at once.
Only when this rule is strictly fol-
lowed is the morning cold bath a

The grand street parade scheduled
for 1880 o'clock was held pending the
