PASSING OF THE CHINESE
How Nature is Solving the Problem Of
the yellow PerIl.'

In fifty years-perhaps less than
fifty, if the present laws remain in ef.
feet and are rigidly executed-the
Chinese population of the United
States will become practically extinct.
From 1890 to 1900 they fell away from
1876, IT'S to 1850. a decrease of near
ly 5000. or more than per cent. In
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1903,
more than 1000 voluntarily left the
port on San Francisco for the land of
their birth, the total deported and re-
turning voluntarily being 5000 A
very large majority of these China
men were advanced in years and went
home to die.
A generation ago there were in San
Francisco from 30, 900 to 10000 China
men. The Chinese consul general
there told me that, counting men,
women, and children. there are now
not 10000. The same proportionate
decrease is seen in IOther places. 1t
should be borne in mind that the to-
tai number of Chinese now in the
United States includes 26,7 in Ha-
waii and 3,116 in Alaska, so that, at
the beginning of the decennial period
there were living in the United States
proper only $1,000. A generatian ago
there were at least 150. 900.
According to the most liberal esti-
mate there are not more than one
hundred and fifty legal Chinese wives
in San Frnacisco. But the number of
Chinese women is estimated at be-
tween one thousand and two thousand.
Of such female children as are born
to the lowest class. a large proportion
are sold for immoral purposes by their
parents. thus still further reducing the
possibilities of an increased population.
The main adult population is male;
is unmarried, or at least .wifeless IN
America, and is rapidly noproaching
old age. Thus by 1880 or 1910, the
main Chinese life in. America will
have become extinct.

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat

BLOOD CELLS.

Man is a millionaire many times over in
the possession of blood cells Woman is
not quite so rich, for scientists have proven
that the normal number of red blood cells
in adult men is five Million in women four
and half million, to the square millimeter.
The normal cell is not absolutely round
in health but, in disease, becomes ex-
trernely irregular in shape. Every one can
be IN perfect health and possess the mil
lions of rich red blood corpusc1es if they
only know how to go about it. DR.. R. V.
Pierce, consulting physician to the Inva-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buff
falo, N. Y, advises every man and woman
to prepare for long life by observing ma
lures laws. In the first place, if your
digestion IS faulty, and the food you
eat is not taken up by the blood and assim-
Hated properly, you need tonic and diges-
tive corrector, something that will increase
the red blood corpuscles; he believes in
going about this in natures own way.
Years ago, in his active practice, he found
that an Alternative extract of certain herbs
and roots, put up without the use of alco-
hol, would put the liver, lungs and heart
into fuller and more complete action This
medicine he called DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. By assimilating the
food eaten, it nourishes the blood, and, in
stead of the ill-shaped corpuscles, the per-
sons blood takes on rich red color and
the corpuscles are more nearly round
Nervousness is only the cry of the starved
nerves for food, and when the nerves are
fed on rich red blood the person loses
those irritable feelings, sleeps we'll at night
and feels refreshed in the morning

The physicians of medieval Eng

large assortment of remedies. some Of
them borrowed from the Byzantine
physicians, others. from the traditional
practice of the people. Christian ply
sicianS. however, called religion to their
aid None of their remedies was ad-
ministered without ceremonial While
the medicine was being compounded

over one of the psalms. beginning
"Miserere mel. Deus" then several
paternOsters, then drink the dose and
wrap tbyself up warm or he would
sing the psalm, "Salvum Me Fac,
Deus" then drink the draft out of Il
church bell, the priest finishing the
cure with prayer.
DR.. Creighton remarks that as the
maladies of the middle ages contained
an unusual element of hysteria, the
ceremonial may not have come amiss
as an aid to the treatment. Physicians
gained considerable fees by their prac-
tice, which the people appear to have
grudged them. The satirical writers
constantly accuse them of greed, but
these charges were probably owing to
the prevalence of the idea. not yet

An excellent plan for smokers is to
abstain from time To time that is, fast
from all tobacco, say. for weeks or u
month at a time. This method enables
the smoker to enjoy his smoke more
when he goes back to it and is less
harmful to his health.
1T is fine scheme said one man

and not mastered by it. | have been
doing this way for long time now

to any number of cigars while in one
of my smoking months, but simply
smoke at will, and then absolutely
quit until another month is through" !"
