Water Publication.

A physician connected with the
United States Agricultural department
has called attention to the fact that
an extremely small quantity of sui
plate of copper will prevent the
growth of algae In lakes, ponds and
storage reservoirs. and will destroy
typhoid and cholera germs. The ques-
ton at once arises whether this meth
cd can be considered thoroughly hy-
g;enic. The probability is that the
small amount Of copper thus en-
ployed would be neutralized by COM
bining with vegetable substances so
that the water will be left practically
pure; nevertheless, the addition OF
chemical substances to water canrot
be considered the most desirable
method of publication. Boiling and
altering through a Pasteur filter are
really the best methods. Filters are
cheap, and boiling is an easy and SIM
pie process. The old-fashioned char
coal and gravel filters cannot be re-
lied upon.

Anxious to Meet

NO SECRECY IS OBSERVED

100000 Men 10 to Be Installed.

London, April 14.-British naval
men comment on the lack of secrecy
regarding Admiral Rojestvensky's
movements since his arrival In far
eastern waters. The fact that he Is
keeping to the main trade route, al
though knowing his squadron would
constantly be sighted and reported by
passing vessels, they consider clearly
shows that the Russian admiral is
keenly anxious TO meet Admiral Togo
and fight it out to finish.
Toxic, April l4.--It IS reported
here that the Russians are continually
reinforcing the garrison at Vladivos-
tok and that the work OF streIgthen-
ing the fortress Is progressing con-
stantly.
1t is said that the plans OF the
Russians contemplate garrison num-
bering 100000 men with 500 guns.
Many additional batteries, redoubts,
barriers and pits are in course OF
construction and enormous stores OF
ammunition are being accumulated.
The Russians, 1t is said, hope to
equip the fortress 80 that it will be
capable OF withstanding a siege.
Singapore, April 14.-The Russian

Alcohol and Tuberculosis.

DR.. S. A. Knopf, the eminent New
York physician who has given great
deal of attention to the subject of
tuberculosis, took occasion not long
since in a scientific paper to condemn
the popular notion that alcohol Is a
remedy for consumption. He says:
There Is an idea that alcohol Is a
remedy or even specific remedy for
consumption. There has never been
a greater mistake made. Alcohol has
never cured and never will cure
tuberculosis. 1t will either prevent or
retard recovery. 1t is like a two
edged weapon; on one side 1t poi
sons the system, and on the other side
It ruins the stomach and thus prevents
this organ from properly digesting the
necessary food. Truly pathetic are
the results of this erroneous doctrine
in the families of the poor, where, in
stead of procuring good nourishment
for the invalid, liquor has been bought
in far too large quantities, SO that
often there was not enough money left
Cor food for the sufferer nor for the
other members of the family"

by excessive eating or habitual drunk

condition often decline to exercise be-
cause they feel so tired" This state
of lassitude and enervation cannot be
overcome by rest. Carefully gradual

are many chronic invalids whose suf'
ferings and disability are wholly due
to this cause, and who may be read.

Predisposition to tuberculosis.

The abnormal fear of tuberculosis
which haunts so many minds Is bred
Of ignorance. The awful results of
che white terror" have impressed
themselves upon all, but as with the
aborigine, when he first encountered
the gun-bearing explorer. the reason
why Is hidden. The native heard the
gun speak and saw his brother fall.
The sudden death terrified him. He
did not stop to inquire the cause. He
fed in AFFECT fear.
To-day the ravages of tuberculosis
are stupendous. Are you inquiring
into the why. or are you trembling
lest 1t seize you? Are you trying to
dodge an inscrutable foe, or are you
studying to give intelligent battle?
The tenement dweller says, II can not
escape the plague, I will await my
turn" The son or brother of a con-
sumptive says: at Is in the family,
I must suffer the same DEATH" The
weakened victim of intemperance or
Neglect of vital laws says: my con.

DENoUNcEs BUREAUCRACY.
Methods Used In Present Crisis In
Russia Condemned.


st. Petersburg, April 1.-THE Son
of the Fatherland. now the leading
exponent of constitutionalism. fiercely
denounces the manner In which 1t al
leges the bureaucracy is trying to
defeat the war, which all Russia Is
waging against It. 1t charges the
bureaucracy with inaugurating sys-
tematic campaign to gag public opin-
ion. instancing the recent action
against the barristers' congress here
and the prohibition OF meetings or
other professional bodies In Moscow
and elsewhere. ali of which. II de-
clares. is in direct contradiction OF
the spirit of the imperial ukase or
March 3, giving individuals and So
cieties the right to freely petition the
throne on the subject Of the general
welfare. At the same time the pa
per charges the bureaucracy with in
spring the local authorities every
where to fight the reform movement
by setting one class Of the popula-
ton against the other. the Armenians
against the "intellectuals." ut is"
the article says. "the old game. 'Di-
vide ct Impera,' which served the
autocracy so well in the past, but can
not longer succeed"

Less Trouble Over Desertions.

Profting by long experience, the
War department has made some
changes in it's method of recruiting
soldiers for the regular army. 1t has
been found that much the greater
percentage of deserters consisted OF
quite young recruits, who soon dis
cover that the regular service is not
what they imagined and take French
leave on the first opportunity. In
view of the numerous courtsmartial
thus required, and the severe penal
ties for desertion. the new recruits
are now drilled for several weo4s, with.
out giving them uniforms or requiring
them to take the oath. IL they run
away in the meantime they are not
sought after and new recruits take
their places. The army is thus saved
the trouble Of trying numerous desert
ers by neutrality-suspicious.

States Senator J. r. Burton OF Kan
sas, was reindicteu by the federal
grand jury yesterday on the charge

state of preservation. considering
that the interment took place over a

SOME SIMPLE DISHES.

Breakfast Toast-Cut rather thin
slices of bread into two or three
pieces. Put these into the oven and
let them bake very slowly for two or
three hours, or until of golden color
and crisp throughout. This Is an ex.
cellent substitute for breads and much
more wholesome. 1t is delicious served
with cocoanut or dairy cream or but.
ter.
cocoanut cream.-Cut fresh cocoa.
nut into thin slices and grind the nut
very fine in a chopper or some strong
hand mill. If nothing of this sort is
available, the cocoanut may be grated.
To each cup of the prepared nut add
one cup of hot water, stirring and
beating with a spoon to extract as
much of the juice as possible. Drain
off thu liquid and add similar guam
tity of hot water, and, after beating
again very thoroughly, strain through
a cloth or very fine sieve, pressing
out all the liquid possible. This may
be used at once as a substitute for
milk, to be eaten with rice or other
grains, or to prepare buildings or
sauces. 1t Is excellent served with
granose fakes or eaten with zwie-
back. II placed on the ice for few
hours, the cream will rise to the top
and may be taken off, making pure
cocoanut butter.
Strawberry Esg-nog.-Beat the yolk
and white of one egg separately, and
to each add one teaspoonful of sugar.
To the yolk add one teaspoonful of
lemon Juice and two tablespoonfuls
of strawberry Juice. Stir in the white
leaving enough to serve as meringue
for the top.

A New York Iaper publishes an ac-
count of successful effort recently
made by Mr.. N. o. Nelson, in South
ern California, to provide for the. poor
er classes. Mr. Nelson has established
at Indio, in Southern California, what
he calls health camp for consump-
tives. We quote the following de-
scription of this worthy enterprise
with the hope that it may encourage
others to do likewise; for certainly
no more beneflcent work can be under
taken by anyone:
The camp is located In desert
valley, cut off from the ocean by
the mountains. There Is no rain, no
fog, no clouds. The winter days are
all warm. the nights comparatively
sold.
"The camp was established in De
cember. 1902. to provide in part for
the large number of consumptives and
other invalids who go to Southern
California. Most of the invalids have
little means; they can not afford ex-
pensive sanitariums, and are not want
ed by hotels and boarding houses.
ITO meet the requirements Of such
patients, Mr.. Nelson bought one hun
dred and twenty-five acres of land ad-
Joining the Indio depot. This tract
he has improved by sinking artesian
wells, and by putting most of the land
under cultivation, in order to give con-
valescents something to do.
Tents, with all necessary equip
ment for sleeping and taking meals,
have been set up. Land and water
are free to those who have their own
outfit A small rental for tents is
made to those who can not pay, and
where necessary, board is given them.
All expenses need not be more than
from $3.50 to $500 week.
Work is provided for those who are
able to do it, so that their care does
not become a burden on the camp.
"The camp Is situated In the midst
of sandy valley one hundred miles
long and three to ten miles wide.
The mountains on each side rise by
degrees to four thousand and FIVE
thousand feet high. In some places in
the foothills there are springs and
vegetation.
I'm the valleys most of the land
has been taken up in the past few
years. The crops of melons and vege-
tables are early and bring high prices.
From 500 to 5000 an acre is an
ordinary yield. Alfalfa hay Is cut ten
times year. giving twelve to fifteen
tons an acre.
when the campers get well enough
to work. they buy or lease a few
acres. They can either buy the land
on the instalment plan, or lease it on
shares for such length of time as de-
sired"
