GOOD FOR EVERYTHING

The question is often asked how
one treatment can be goad for every
thing. Is not pure air and pure water
beneficial to the system? If so, will
it not benefit every organ of the sys-
tenn TO purify the blood, and elimi-
nate the large amount of poison that
collects in the system? Is not regulat-
ing the bowels beneficial to the entire
system, and absolutely necessary to
the proper condition of health? If So.
why should it not be just as necessary
to open up the seven million pores in
tho skin, which is the sewerage of the
entire system, letting off the deadly
poison which thousands of people are
carrying about in their bodies perfect
ignorant of their condition. You can
easily see this process of renovation
can not help but benefit every part of
the human machinery.

USE TREES AS WIRELESS
TELEGRAPHY TOWERS IN WEST

San Francisco, Jan. 2-After months Of
careful experiment Maj. George o. Squire
OF the United States signal corps has dis
covered that trees may ee used to catch
wireless telegraph messages and TO con-
vey them to an observer standing on the
ground
He has found that trees may serve the
purpose OF the Marconi metal feeers or
antennae. as they are called, and that
tree trunks. while serving as masts or
towers, also serve as wires to bring the
electro magnetic currents down to the
earth
The healthier the tree the better 1t
serves as a conductor For highly oscilla-
ting currents che leaves Of trees or OF
plants behave precisely as II they were
made OF metal, and they will transmit
these oscillations from the ground sur
rounding them through their leaves.

telegra phic apparatus TO trees and COM
municated with the wireless station on
Alcatraz Island. about two miles distant.
He also communicated In this way be-
tween Goat and Alcatraz Islands. n dis

AMONG The HORSES.

The past year was taken all In all, one
OF the best In the history OF the light
harness sport The meetings throughout
the country were generally successful.
Everyone who has been interested in
harness recing for any length Of time re-
members the reaction that took place In
harness racing soon after the bike sully
made It's appearance. Reconds fell with a
ruch. values were changed and II took
half q dozen years for the horsemen TO
1nd out where they were.
Last year the pacemaker in front and
the wind shield made their appearance.
For a time they swelled the gate receipts
at the prominent tracks and did much 10
popuarize the sport. The two-minute
trotter was a great card for the big trot-
ting tracks and everything was lovely for
the trotting association until they tried TO
interest the average racegoer In their reg
ular class races.
After hearing about those miles In
] :5s1S, I:b9% or 1884 the average raoegoer
was slow TO believe that he was not being
buncoed when he was assured that horses
that were racing around 2:o7 OF 2:os were
the best field OF trotters that ever took
the word in the Massachusetts,. the Char
ter Oak or the Transyivania-
The class racing, from Detroit to Mem
phis. was faster and better than ever be-
fore. but still the uninitiated racegoers
were disappointed because every heat was
not In two minutes or better. Possibly
this is anothsr good argument against the
time system OF handicapping In vogue on
the trotting turf.
II does not appear. however. that II
will take nearly so long for the trotting
turf TO recover from the wind shield dis
turbance as IL did for II TO round TO af-
ter its shaking UP by the bike sulky.
The bike sulky came TO stay while the
wind shield was laughed out OF court In
one season and will hardly be heard from
again.
Now, II the register association will

The helpless were carried down through
the smoke-filled stairs. some being taken
out while the flames were bursting into
the corridors.
Others whose rooms were on the other

forced TO seek safety by going down the

into the edifice, despite the earnest effort

The interior OF the main building was
finished in hard pine, and the flames
not only spread quickly. but obtained
a firm hold. In an hour after the fire
started the ell collapsed and the stone
building was gutted.
The total loss is estimated at So, 900,

the equipment at $4,000, with ample in-
