One word, you hypochondriac:
Let nature heal your woes.
If you are blue. Respondent
Just call on Dr. Rose.
With thorns mayhap he'll lance you,
But, then. to heal the smart,

And sweetness rare impart.

Where beauties rare are seen.
He'll give the green-leaf tonic
And spices from the wood;
One treatment will convince you
His medicine is good

Breathe secrets of the hills;
And listening to his sweetest notes

Therefore l am repeating:
Let Nature cure your woes.

To RaIk the MerciIess 'skeeter.

With the ferocious mosquito now
out hungrily seeking his prey, 1t
would be well for those leading an
outdoor life to know that good way
to keep these and similar pests at a
distance is to apply to the hands and
face the following lotion, recommend,
ed by the Journal of the Outdoor Life
Spirits of camphor ................12 DIR.
Oil of lavender Observation-Disclosures. : dr..
Oil Of pennyroyal .........,...... DIR.
Here's another hint from the same
journal. Scientists who have gone
boldly into the favored haunts of the
mosquito to study his ways, have
discovered that the insects are par
tial to some colors and averse to
others. They particularly dislike yell
low. Their fayorite is dark blue, with
dark red next, then brown, then scar
let, then black then blue gray, then
olive green, then violet, then pearl
gray then white.
1t should be borne in mind that the
mosquito is the chief source of malar-
ial infection. Certain species of mos
quito constantly carry with them in
their bodies the malarial parasites,
and in inficting their bite they inject
some of these parasites into the
blood
Dr.. Schoo has observed that when
mosquitoes have access to acid fruits
their bite becomes less pOiSOnOus. or
quite harmless And Professor Cell
has observed that in portions of Italy
where tomatoes are largely cultivated
the people are practically free from
malarial infection, although the region
is naturally very malarious. 1t would
seem, then, that the wide cultivation
Of acid fruits, such as tomatoes,
STRAWBERRIES, and other succulent
varieties, may be made an important
factor in Kidding the world of this
very troublesome pest.

Summer Disorders of Infancy.

| Is huOWu DIS acute SdStIlC Ndldi H.
acute Indigestion, or acute dyspepsia
all three terms signifying the same
| disorder. The chief cause is irrita-
ton due to food, improper in quantity
or quality, spelling in the stomach.
This malady rarely occurs in in
fants fed on good breast milk, unless
| something occurs to upset the mother,
| Older children often have attacks
from eating too much candy, unripe
| fruit, pastry and the like. In grown
people this disorder is called bilious
attack
In bottle-fed infants, especially dur
ing the summer months, it is a very
common complaint. The symptoms
are loss of interest in play and sur
roundings, starting in the sleep, cry
ing with collie pains, drawing up the
legs on the abdomen, sharp, shrill cry
paleness around the mouth, blueness
of the skin and cold feet; in severe
cases, fever, nausea and vomiting
of mucus and undigested food. When
the food has been more than usually
indigestible there are often convul-
sions and symptoms resembling those
of Inflammation of the brain and
spinal cord
The writer remembers well a typi-
cal case. A child of three years, after
eating number of windfallen apples
and drinking two cups of milk, was
suddenly seized with commissions, OC-
curing every half hour or less, and
remained unconscious for hours.
Some effort had been made to empty
the stomach by vomiting, but in vain.
An emetic and tickling the throat with
a feather brought up a mass of Jumps
of unripe apple and large, sour curds.
This soon restored the little one to
dose of castor oil freed the alimen-
tary canal of the undigested food and
poisons produced by it; but several
days of fever followed, during which
no food could be retained by the stom
ach, and even water was rejected for
a time.
The best treatment in case of acute
Indigestion is to empty the alimentary
tract at once by an emetic Of warm
water or the stomach lavage; a thor
ough enema and mild cathartic to
free the bowels. Stop all food at
once, and do not try to put anything
into the stomach until the vomiting
ceases, unless it be ice-plls or sips of
hot water
The collie pains can often be re-
lieved by lamentations. In the chill
stage at the onset, warm full bath
or a warm sheet pack is good and
hot mustard foot bath when the feet
are cold. If there is diarrhea, hot
enemas, followed by tepid or cool
ones, are often very soothing. In
cases of infants, especially bottle-fed
babies, all milk should be kept out
of the food for a time. During the
first twentyfour to thirty-six hours,
only pure cold water or ice should
be given. After vomiting and purg-
ing cease, the child may be fed a tea
spoonful or two of white of egg (the
white Of one egg mixed with four
ounces or water or grueD. When the
patient begins to convalesce, milk,
modified and sterilized, may gradually
be given.
Watch the effects of the change of
food, as the stomach is likely to re-
main irritable for long time, and
relapses are common, which, in hot
weather especially, may result in chol-
era infantum, or some other acute in
fammatory disorder.

The monthly summary of commerce and
finance, just issued by the department of COM
merce and labor through its bureau Of statistics,
presents the latest available statistics of our trade
with Cuba during April, 1905, as compared with
the corresponding periods of the preceding year,
from which it is seen that our trade with Cuba,
both as regards imports and exports is for the
present fiscal year the largest on record During
the ten months ending with April last, exports
from the United States to Cuba were valued at
$31,931 $50, as against $21855,745 during the COR
responding period of the preceding fiscal year md
$',560,920 during like period of the fiscal year
1898 Exports from the United States to Cuba
have increased 1913 per cent and imports from
Cuba have increased 224 per cent, comparing the
ten months figures of the present fiscal year with
the corresponding period of the preceding year.
The exports to Cuba during the ten months end
ing April 80, 1905 we're valued at $31 319,520 a
gain of $9,463,775, or 1873 per cent, while imports
from Cuba in the ten-month period ending April
30 1905, were $69, AL 259 in value, an increase Of
$12,717,819, or PA per cent as compared with
like period of the preceding year. Meantime i'm
ports into the United States from Cuba have also
Increased rapidly. Again, comparing the figures
of the present fiscal year with those of 1898 the
last year of Spanish control over the island Of
Cuba, it is found that imports into the United
States from Cuba during the ten-month period
under review have increased from $13 76O366 in
1898 to $56,723440 in 1904 and 500 AL 259 in the
present year ending April 80. Thus exports to
Cuba have increased 1872, 900 and imports from
Cuba have increased $56,OO0O0O, when the ten
month period of the present fiscal year is COM
pared with like period of the fiscal years 1898
In the ten months ending with April 1898, i'm
ports into the United States from Cuba exceeded
exports from the United States to Cuba but lit
tie more than $4,0O00OO in the same period Of
the present year the excess of Cuban imports into

The dimensions call for a waterway lao feet
