Laughter as an Aid to Digestion.

IL is great mistake to allow the
mind to dwell upon the physical proc
esses going on during digestion. II
one keeps thinking about what he has
eaten, or is just going to eat and won
dering whether or not it will agree
with him, if he eats with fear and
trembling" so to speak, his state of
mind has depressing influence upon
his stomach and that organ rebels.
The stomach is bashful, one might
say; the stomach, the liver and other
organs are sensitive to criticism and
obstruction; hence, when one sits
down at the dinner table and begins to
talk about his "peristaltic woes" his
stomach will very likely get into a
sort of stage fright so that it cannot
do its work and it will have to sus-
pend business for a time.
The movements of the stomach dur
ing the process of digestion are SINH
lar to the motion of churning. When
one is dressed properly, every time he
takes a breath the diaphragm comes
down with good hearty squeeze upon
the stomach and shakes it up; the
stomach is in this manner jolted back
and forth, and that is part of the di-
gestive process. This is why breath
ing exercises after breakfast and din
ner are valuable.
Laughter is technically called cachi-
nation, and when one cachinates well.
his diaphragm shakes his stomach
well; it is kind of merry dance: the
stomach trips the light fantastic toe"
so to speak, and the food is set into
such a commotion that the digestive
process is thereby fastened.
A hearty laugh stimulates the vaso-
motor centers and the spasmodic con-
traction Of the blood vessels causes
the blood to flow quickly, sending a
warm glow to the feet and limbs and
enlivening the stomach into increased
activity. There is no better aid to
digestion than a hearty laugh.
Open-Air Treatment in City Hospitals.

tients will have an opportunity for

outdoor treatment is a measure of the
greatest Importance, and is destined
to receive increasing attention.

TIMBER LAND SCRIPPERS
Their Business Left Out in the
Cold by an Act of Congress.

The absolute repeal of the
Forest Reserve Lieu Selection
law in the closing days of the
last session of Congress dropped
like a bomb into the camp Of
the speculators in western tim
ber lands, leaving them, by a.
stroke of the pen, practically out
Of a job.
The repeal completely kills
what is known as the scrip"
business and leaves out in the
cold large number Of specula-
tors with these forest reserve
selection rights, OF as it is COM
monty termed, scrip worthless
upon their hands. Many others
who have been buying up cheap
and worthless lands in what they
believed would soon be included
in forest reserves, with the pur-
pose of exchanging these lands
for valuable government timber
lands have found themselves
badly scOOped.
The somewhat amusing feature
Of the situation lay III the fact
that one-half Of the scrippers
did not know what had happen
led. The law was repealed by
an act entitled tan act to pro-
lhibit the selection Of timber
lands in lieu Of lands in forest

A Sensible Fourth Of July.

The Las Vegas Optic urges a

be quiet, orderly and rational,
nothing less and nothing more.
1t believes in q patriotic and
public spirited observance Of the
nations birthday but it Is OPP
posed to the senseless and quite
dangerous firing off Of guns,
pistols, giant fire crackers and
the like. This last benefits no
one except two or three dealers
in fire crackers and cartridges,
but the performances generally
in that direction quite often
lead to loss Of life, injuries more
or less painful to persons and
fires great or small. The Optic
is eminentIy correct in its posi-

AlamogOrdO News Has the Right
Spirit.

THE AlamogOrdo News sug-
gests that if the railroad shops
are moved from that town to Ell
Paso, the people may wake up to
the fact that they can no longer
depend upon railroad dollars,
and proceed to develop some Of
the natural resources of the coun-
try which are more valuable as a
permanent asset than any one
railroad company's pay roll. -
Roswell Record.
The position of the Alamo
gOrdo News is correct. The
agricultural possibilities in the
vicinity of AlamogOrdO are great
and if these are properly devel-
oped, the town will flourish like
a green bay tree in proper soil
and good climatic conditions,
despite the loss Of the railroad
shops. AlamogOrdo has good
start and its citizens should not
be discouraged. If they act
right and unitedly the town will
continue to grow and to be a
prosperous and advancing com
munity. New Mexican.

Work on the big joint shops to

the agreement, and the final pa
pers have been forwarded to
New Orleans for Mrs. McDonald's
signature.
The ground purchased by the
railroad company is a strip of
land 900 feet wide extending

it adjoins the G. H. right Of way

Only Hope Of Armistios in Far

East Seems TO Be On the Pres
ident.
st. Petersburg, June 20.-The
only hope for On armistice, pend
ing the meeting Of the peace
plenipotentiaries, seems to rest
with President Roosevelt and
even that is considered slender.
So far as is known the President
has not taken any positive step
in this direction. The impress
sion here continues strong that
Japan only with great reluctance
could be induced to forego the
advantages of her strategic posi-
tiOn which, despite official adj
vices from the front, is regarded
as being altogether favorable to
Field Marshal Oyama, and to q
suspension Of hostilties for at
least six weeks, during which
time thousands of reinforce
ments would reach General
LineVitch and vladivostock
would be strengthened with
munitions and supplies to with
stand a siege. Indeed, it is sug-
gested that japan deliberately
planned to postpone the meeting
long enough to give Marshal
Oyama a chance to administer
to the Russians q fresh defeat in
order to rob the war party in
Russia Of its last card and facil-
itate acquiescence to her terms.
Considering the situation, there
fore, President ROOsevelt's
triumph will be greater if he
now could succeed in crowning
his work by the agreement which
would at least prevent another
bloody battle pending the show
of hands at Washington.

HENRY WETERsON
N GERMANY
Finds Out About Socialism as it
Exists under the Kaiser.

Finds Out About Socialism as it
Exists under the Kaiser.
In one Of his letters from Eu-
rope to the Oourier-Journal,
Henry Watterson has the follow
ing to say concerning socialism
which is beginning to show itself
in America had its birth in Ger
many. 1T is q pipe-dream of the
German metaphysician. Utopia
would indeed be q good place to
live in except for the climate
and the population. The world
may come to it a little ahead of
the millennium perhaps; but if
it does, human nature will have
to hump itself. Even among the
European socialists there are
distinctions and degrees. We
have the right center and the
left center, the moderates and
the radicals. These show them
selves in all the legislative bod
les, making it easy for the gov
ernment to carry its point,
though now and again a minister
goes out and another comes in,
perhaps to throw dust in the
eyes Of history and make the
people believe that they are not
in total disregarded among the
ruling pOwors.
Clearly that is the best gov
ernment which governs least.
Yet the whole trend with us in
America seems to be more gov
ernment. Everywhere, officials
are multiplying, officialism is on
the ascending scale Of municipal
and state development. Each
succeeding party trust wants ad-
ditional places for it's workers.
Hence much of the clamor for
public ownership. Who cares
for the consequence? In the
end it is the taxpayers who pay
for the dance, and except on
rare occasion, it is hard to arouse
and unite the taxpayers upon
any remedial scheme which will
hold together long enough for
any real test. Too often the
competing alternatives involve a
choice 'twixt tweedle-dum and
tweedle-dee, the nearest jump
ing from the firepan into the
fire, and vice versa.
In Germany the taxpayers
look closely after the taxes. 1t
must be allowed thatthe state
railway is very we'll managed.
But there is all the difference in
the world between q centralized
power like that exerised by the
imperial government and that Of
a commission in the United
States, either state or national
subject to the whimsies of pub
lie opinion and spread over q
territory bigger than all Europe.
Doodle politics does not ex-
ist in Germany. The scandals
are social, not political. The
higher they reach the less likely
are they to come to the surface,
Aristocracy in Germany is real
1t means exalted fellowship and
close communion. But, undel
the rule Of a man like the kaiser
the social fabric is kept well in
bounds, and class collisions are
too infreQuent and inconsequen-
tial to be heard by the outeI
world.

no effort to catch up with the car until
It had secured a lead OF several blocks on
