ing economy and prudent care in the
distribution and use Of ihc budget.
In order 70 fulfil this aim OF the gov
crnment. there IS needed a law for
the purchase q materials by bids :
The government, should understand
that the Porto Rican is not IN a state
Of tutslase; he wantsto intervene II
the management Of his own house.
This is the purpose ofthe law pro
viding for public bids.
Ii snot sufficient that we be told
10y commissioner OF deparmen
that be secured IN the United States
for 50 many thousand dollars, such
and such articles which be thought
necessary and useful.
This is not enough.
1t is clearer and more satisfactory
that there be held before us public
call of bids for these articles, even
though the Ame rican firms should take
the trouble 70 compete through re
present4uves.
The government is carrying on
everything as though it were family
affair and this IS lntoiofable.
=I,here is seen this lack of openness
even in, ,the matter of laws which are
NOT made public, due to having piaout
of existence the Official Gazette, nQt-
wthstanding that the Foraker law re-
cognizes the fact that the people
should be made to know the laws and
dispositions. And il this manner in
stead of spending $4,000, or S3oooo, IN
printing. there should be spent, at the
most, $8oos by our government, whose
officials should occupy themselves
with important affairs iastead Of put
ing in danger, their precious lives by
devoting themselves to the invention

~. The Proper Care of the Body
The Outdoor Gymnasium.


The nucleus of the out door gym
nasium is the swimming pool. Swim
ming was meant to be not merely an
occasional and precarious pleasure,
but all inseparable accompaniment OF
bathing. cleanliness being achieved
incidentally. A swimming pool, there
fore, is a fundamental need for those
who have not access to a convenient
stream or body of water suitable for
this purpose. Those accustomed To
the delightfully."- ~invigorating effects of
the morning swim consider 1t as much
OF a necessity as their breakfast, or
even more.
Most artificial swimming pools are
unfortunately built indoors. An in
door pool not only lacks the fascinat.
ion OF the outdoor adaptation of "the
old swimin' hole but it also robs one
of the natural accomplishments of out
door bathing-fresh air and sunshine.
Bathers often spend considerable
time lying about on the banks of the
stream or on the sandy beach, alter
nately basking in the rays of the sun
and dipping beneath the cooling
waves. Powerful impressions are
made upon the body by the contact of
the skin with the cool outdoor air
and sunshine.
The outdoor gymnasium provides
a combination of the healing agencies
OF Observation-Disclosures of pure air for
breathing, facilities for exercise. sun
baths, air bath. earth baths. and water
baths. Here one can enjoy all the
pleasure and obtain all the benefits,
and at the same time escape the pub
licity of sea or river bathing.
Public outdoor gymnasiums are pro
vided In some OF the large cities, and
are built by sanitariums. hotels, fac
tories, etc. They should be intro
duced into all hospitals and children's
homes, and no public institution
should be considered complete with
out one. In the heart of our large
cities. conducted in connection with
the parks, they would be a powerful
means OF antagonising the d~eteriorat.
ing influences OF city life.

Out Of Door Nurseries.

II of New York's most tamous
specialists for children has lately
made a plea for roof Fairgrounds.
On one of the roof Fairgrounds estab-
iished for the use of the children of
the poor. the average attendance is
2.OOO per night. Three or four teach.
ers maintain order, and there are
bands for music and dancing.
In the city the roof can be utilized
for an outdoor nursery, which will
greatly promote the health and hap.
piness OF the children. The roof
should be ioored over for u certain
space. and partitions built to protect
the children from the wind. and rail
ings or fences put up to keep them
from falling off. Awnings are neces.
sary 10 protect them from too much
sun and from rain.
Here the children can play nearly
every day. winter or summer. In
these private outdoor nurseries the
mother can keep m eye on the child
rem who are removed from the unde-
sirable conditions and contacts of the
city streets and parks.

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge OF Mysteries, is unfit to are
for children it ruins a child's DISPOSE
ton n reacts pom herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers toe often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
h strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like n tirebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration. ner-

lessness. and nervous irritability Of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like a ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening TO
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound {:
pain in the ovaries, and especially
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost

If SO, your nerves are in II shattered

SEWER FOB CAMP.
Local Capitalists PLAN to Install Sys-
tenn in Goldfeld and Columbia.

The county commissioners of Esmer-
aida county have granted a sewer fran
chisc to a coterie of prominent local
capitalists who purpose INSTALLING a
modern sewage plant in Goldfeld,
Columbia and the contiguous territory
during the fall and winter. For some
time past the gentlemen who are be-
hind the enterprise have had An en-
gineer engaged in making surveys and
plats of the sections that are to be
embraced by the system and the re-
suits of his labors are very gratifying
to them. 1t has beer demonstrated by
him that the camp IS admirably sit
uated for adequate drainage and that
on every street in Goldfeld a fall of
fall to the dumping ground, which
is to be located three miles northwest
of Goldfeld, has a mean average of
|3M feet to every hundred, thereby
assuring the efficient flushing Of the
pipes. Under the terms of the fran
chise work must be started within
sixty days from the granting thereof,
but it is the intention of the promoters
of the project to begin operations
within the next three weeks.
The main conduit is to be IL inches
in diameter, the l~aterals 6 inches in
diameter and the connections 4 inches
in diameter. First grade, standard
pipe is to be used on all portions of
the system and is to be laid by men
who are thoroughly experienced in that
class of work. Arrangements have
been made to secure water for flushing
purposes, and in connection Herewith
two water tanks, having "a capacity of
$4,000, are to be established on the
apex of the malapi. This supply is
also to be available for fire purposes
if the necessity arises. At the outset
only the most thickly populated sec
tion of the city win be traversad by.
the system, but as soon as that por-
tion of the work has been completed,
the pipes will be extended to the out
lying district until ultimately the en-
tire populated area has been covered.
The enterprise was promoted by
Charles f. Pugh, of the Karl III. Nickel
company, and the franchise was grant
ed to 4. M. Ish, L. L. Patrick, Harry
Ramsey, John s. Cook and s. f. Yer
milyea. These gentlemen are now pre-
pairing to organize a company and in
corporate.
