LINE OF CASTE IN ENGLAND
The American in That Country Soon Becomes Conscious of It's
 Restrictions,

What IS it. at bottom, that makes
 the English atmosphere so difficult
 for an American to breathe in freely? |?
 It is, 1 believe, that he feels himself
 in country where the dignity of life
 is lower than in his own; a country
 where man born in ordinary cir cumstances expects, and is expected. to die in ordinary circumstances; where the scope of his efforts Is traced be- forehand by the accident of position; where he is handicapped in all cases and crushed in most by the superin- cumbent weight of caste, convention, "good form" and the deadening arttfi- cialities of an old society, comments 2 writer in the North American Review, That unconquerable buoyancy which infects the American air like a sting and challenge, and braces every Ameri- can with the inspiration that he has chance in life that there are open op- unreser ved possibilities, no battering at locked doors, no tioun- derIng in blank alleys; that here. in short, it is the man himself who makes his career-is something which the English have so utterly lost as a De incapable of realizing 1t.

Rheumatism

Like Neuralgia, is now known to be a nervous disease. The kidneys become weak through lack of nerve energy, and fail to filter the uric acid from the blood; this acid attacks and burns the nerves and muscles, and consumes the oil in the joints, producing inflammation, fever, swelling-pain.
 To cure Rheumatism, then, you must restore the kidney nerves and muscles, and neu- tralize the effect of the acid upon the joints and tissues with Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine, a nerve medicine, which has made many cures of this painful disease. Nervine strengthens the kidney nerves and increases the circulation, and relief is assured.
 BefOre l took Dr. Miles NerV1ne, I had been looking for cure for Rheumatism for 25 years. The last time was laid up for several months, could not get out of bed or set foot on the floor. I tried remedies to rub in, to drink, doctors prescriptions, etc. but none of them had any effect: One day I read about Dr. Miles Nervine and got a bottle. After the first dose I had a good nights rest. and after taking half a bottle the pains disappeared, and I went out and walked all around the town. In a week I went to work, and was perfectly cured. but continued to. take the medicine for time, to make sure the pains would not come back"

Pure breathing air can now be main tained in small closed space by the use of machinery. The device consists of distributor, which, by the action of clockwork. drops sodium peroxide into water at regular intervals, a cublcal steel box and ve1tilating fan. The sodium peroxide is decomposed by the water with liberation of oxygen, ab- sorption of carbon dioxide and destruc- ton of the other toxic products of res- piration.

Letters should deal with tn writer's experiences since he set- tied in the Southwest. They should tell how much money he had when he rived, what he did when he first, came, what measure of success has since crowned his efforts and what he thinks of that portion of country in which he is located. Letters should not be less than 300 nor more than 1,500 words in length, and will be used for the purpose of advertising the South west. Letters are desired not only from farmers and farmers wives, but also from merchants, school teachers, clergymen; from everyone who has a story to tell and who knows how to tell 1t. Poetical contributions are not wanted.
 All cannot win prizes, but by their contributions they can as- sist the Western Trail in it's ef- forts to colonize and upbuild the Southwest.
 Contest closes June 30, 1905. Prizes will be awarded as soon thereafter as results can be de- termined. Address the Western Trail, 736-744 Van Buren street, Chicago, III.

Not only do the male workers have a

guilds are referred all disputed ques-

rule, are nmicably settled. The opera

They are shrunk on-that Is, put on
hot and allowed to shrink in cooling so
that they are practically solid piece
with the axle. These cars go around
curves, and 1t will be observed that the
outer rail covers a great deal more
ground than the inner one. 80 that to
turn the curves and finish even the out
side whocl must of necessity travel

remains intact. and the curves are pass
