The Tonic Use Of Water.

Cold water is the universal tonic.
The best time for taking cold bath
for tonic effect. is just after getting
cut of bed in the morning. when the
body is warm A cold bath should
never be taken when one is chilled.
One not accustomed to cold bathing
should begin carefully with water not
colder than rs deg. F. The bath should
be short, not to exceed minute, and
for feeble persons not more than If
teen or thirty seconds when applied
to the whole surface. The bath
should be Immediately followed by
rubbing and exercise for fifteen to
thirty minutes. There should always
be good reaction; that is. the whole
surface, including the hands and feet,
should quickly become warm. The
Lath should not be followed by Ian
guor, headache, lassitude or other in
dications of excessive reaction. When
one experiences such symptoms. the
indication is that the bath was too
long or too cold or not followed by
sufficient exercise. For feeble, very
young or elderly persons the water
used should rarely be lower than 65
degrees to rs degrees in winter. The
bath should be taken in a suitably
warmed room.

SLAUGHTER Of the Innocent,.

A study of statistics reveals the ter.
rible fact that nearly one-half of all
the human beings born into the world
die before the age of five years. In
the city of Stetten. Germany. nearly
one.half-473 out of every thousand
die during the first year of their lives.
In Ireland. Scotland. Norway and Swe.
den, where children are given better
care, have more outdoor life. and
more intelligent attention is given to
feeding, the number of deaths is only
one-fftieth as many as in the city
of stetten, being ten peg cent.
Physicians are coming to recognize
that the use of cows milk, which is
infected with the germs of tubercu.
losis. is one Of the most active of
all the causes Of death among young
children. This should be remem.
bered in the artificial feeding of in.
fants. The milk should either be
boiled or well scalded before being
fed to the infant. This rule should
be universally observed for adults as
we'll as for children. and. If applied
will save thousands of lives annually.

Masonry Dam in the Worid.


The water in Cheesnan lake the
reservoir recentiy completed by the
Denver Union Water COMPANY, has
reached the highest point since the
consiruction Of the monster dam
which Is the highest masonry dam In
the world. 80
"Thi water In the lake Ia over ls0
feet deep to-day" said Walter S. Chees.
man Of the water company Yesterday
THE reservoir now contains about On .
oooVVopvv gallons Of water. its great
est calacity being 10000. .OOO, 900 gal.

two fee higher. 1t would aow over the
spiilwa!. Blk months ago the lake con.
tanned ess than 100. 900 900 gallons.
The total depth Of the reservoir is PIP
feet.
The capacity of Cheesman lake is
about ne same as the big Croton res
ervoir II new York. whichis supposed
to contain about 1900, ,OO6.0OO gallons
of water. However. the Eroton reser-
voir is not SO deep and cdgers so much
larger area that the DANGER of loss by
seepage and evaporation ,is Increased
to suca. an extent that II really will
save no more water than Cheesman
lake
"Denver.s water supply ia now fully
assured Besides this big storage at
Cheesmsn lake, we have also about
six or elght billion gallons of water In
Marston iake, which Is more than half
full. Exclusive Of these reservoirs. our
water rights would more than supply
the city of Denver. We have esti.
mated that the people of Denver will
consume about 10000. .OO0. 900 gallons of
water the coming year, SO it can read
lily be seen that we are on the safe
side.
However, We do not count all the
waste OF water because several spells
of drought might seriously draw upon
the reserve supply. In building Chees-
man dam however, we have looked far
into the future and endeavored to in.
sure an amply supply of water for the
city of Denver for all time. Our loca-
tion is magnificent, there being a wa
ter-shed Of 1.7s6 square miles Of tim.
Der contrbutory to Cheesman lake.
"Denyer is much better OF than
either Chicago and New York. which
always have been handicapped by a
lack of water. Ibelieve that the big
Croton project in New York will, in
twenty years. cost fully one hundred
or even two hundred million dollars to
insure an adequate water supply for
New York The expense will be al
most continuous one for that length
of time, for in spite of all the work
done. they will have to tap the Hud-
son river and filter its water to in
crease the supply.
our supply has been assured at
much less expense and we feel that
with what has been accomplished.
Denver is safe as regards its water
supply for all time. e."-Denver Republi-

1t would be 4 colossal undertaking to
double track the Santa Fe all the way
from Chicago to California and the
Gulf of Mexico.
To seriously suggest 1t now would
provoke smile from men who know
the cost Of such project.
Yet 1t may happen some day, If bust.
ness continues to increase as rapidly
as In the last decade.
This plan of two tracks from the
Great Lakes to Pacific Ocean does not
necessarily imply that the tracks will
be laid side by side. In many cases
cut-offs will be used. thus saving in
mileage as well as train operation.
Using the term in its restricted
sense. by the end of 1905 the Santa Fe
will have more than 300 miles of dou-
ble track in operation. Second tracks
are now being built as follows: To fin
ish the gap between Chicago and. Joli-
ct; between several points in Missouri,
aggregating 40 miles: to complete the
Emporia cutoff; east. west and south
of Newton, in Kansas. and on both
sides OF Ration Mountain, in Colorado
and New Mexico.

hOTBEDS OF CONSUMPTION
'enal Institutions In Many States Proved to
Breeding Places of Tuborculosis

1t Is the duty Of the state to protect
It's citizens-even those condemned to
pass term OF years In Jail. The dan
ger to the inmates of prisons, from
pulmonary disease. has only lately
teen realized. A short time since 4
man who had served a sentence in
the Ohio penitentiary. declared that
TO send him back meant death by
tuberculosis. Inquiry was made. The
head physician announced that the
building was a hotbed of cOnsump-
ton. prominent ofIicial stated that
ten years sentence was equivalent
to condemning a man to death-by
pulmonary tuberculosis
DIR. s. A. Knopf. the greatest Ameri-
can authority on tuberculosis. was in
vited to visit the penitentiary. With
out Hesitation he pronounced 1t the
most unsanitary penal Institution he
rad ever seen.
The output of many prisons is
enough to convince of the truth of the
above statements. The sallow COM
plexions. weakened bodies. sunken
chests Of the ex-convicts, all are the
stamp of murderous prison hygiene.
All the rules for combating the great
white plague are reversed. For sun
light, they are given darkness; for
fresh air. damp. musty atmosphere;
for Out-of-door life a weary indoor
grind, large part spent within the
narrow confines of single cell.
Is it not enough to take from fel-
low being his liberty and appropriate
the labor Of his hands, without fore
ing him to live under such conditions?
Dare the state continue to condemn
any Of its citizens to such a death?
Shall the sentence in public prison
cease at its legal expiration, or shall
the poor victim continue to suffer
from its dire effects until he fills
consumptive's grave?
In this day of Anti-Tuberculosis
agitation, 1t would seem that public
institutions, whether asylums. schools.
prisons or assembly halls should be
the first to be brought under proper
sanitary conditions. 1t is useless,
hopeless to educate the masses in re-
gard to the cure and prevention of
tuberculosis and then maintain at
public expense hotbeds for the de-
velopment of consumptives to be fin
ally turned loose in the community.

Marvellous Toy Cannon.

Prof. William Suddards Franklin,
head of the department Of physics at
Lehigh University, is said to have in
vented harmless toy cannon designed
to take the place Of the deadly cast
iron affair filed with gunpowder and
which reaps a rich harvest of victims
every Fourth Of July. BY applying a
well-known principle of chemistry he
has produced cannon which makes
a report, but cannot explode; hurls
missiles which can do no harm, and is
flash of fire which does not scorch
tissue paper.
The explosion is caused by an cleo
trio spark igniting combination of
air and gas, somewhat on the principle
of gas engine. This discharges a
cork. no other missile will do. and pro-
duces flame Of SO low temperature
that 1t does not burn. Furthermore,
1t is said, 5000 shots can be fired for
a nickel.
