 Recognizing this growing dispositlo4 on the part of the public, and 8&tiSne0 that the fullest publicity can only add to the well-earned reputation ot his mez1la cines, Dr. R.

Avoid drugs. Avoid stimulants Avoid crutches. The habit of resort ing to a pick-me-up of some sort when one feels the faintness Of exhaustion is fatal. Drugs should never be taken except by the order of physicians who have a reason for prescribing them. whether they excite or depress the heart. whether they give transient sense of increased power, or tran sient desire to sleep. they are not for you and me to meddle with. Especial- ly unwise if you wish to keep well. Is the yielding to temptation in the mat ter of bitters. cordials or other liquors and syrups having an alcoholic basis. Tea and coffee are the only stimulants in ordinary use that may be taken with safety. and 1t is an open question whether or not nine-tenths of us would not be much better if we used them sparingiy The effect on tho nervous system of too much indul- gence in either tea of coffee is mark ed. Nobody can he called well who acknowledges slavery to any article of food or drink. Wo should rule our diet, not let it rule us.
 Tn order to keep well, we must eat regularly Three meals day is a good rule for some; others may need four orr five, and others may GO bette and be more comfortable 1T they limit themselves to two. A good deal de- pends on ones tendency 10 leanness

TAFT TALKS POLITICS.
Opens Congressional Campaign IL
South Carolina.

Greensboro, N. C.-Secretary of Wa.
Taft Monday night, before a meeting
Of North Carolina Republicans on the
eve Of their state convention, delivered
a speech that was generally regarded
as the opening one of the congressional
campaign of 1906.
He sharply arraigned southern state
legislatures for depriving the negro
of the ballot by laws which were
framed to cover both races, but were
enforced only against the black, add
ing that If these laws were enforced
regardless Of color, nobody would COM
plain of or be injured by them.
He cited the political revolution in
Maryland and West Virginia to show
that changed industrial conditions
were fast working out the regeneration
of the South.
The speech also dealt with current
political questions, opening with ad-
vice to the rank and file Of the party
in North Carolina, and the South par
tfcularly, and referred to the achieve
ments Of the party in the session Of
Congress just closed.
The opera house was packed to
overdowing by throng eager to hear
the secretary OF war and hundreds Of
persons were turned away because Of
the limited size Of the hall.

ESCAPE AND REcAPTuRE.
Dash for Liberty from Buena Vista Re-
formatory.

uoTUAkoSys
Buena Vista, Colo.-The most dar-
ing and reckless attempt at escape in
the history of the Colorado State Re-
formatory, located mile east of this
city, occurred Sunday. A running gun
fight Of FIVE miles resulted in the kill
ing of both bloodhounds and the ulti-
mate capture OF the escaping convicts
by Guards Taylor and Tyler at Cotton
wood Hot Springs, five miles west Of
here.
The getaway was planned and exc
cuted by Leslie Eastman and w. H.
Ryan. Owing to Eastham's familiar
ity with the prison office, he knew that
arms were kept in the vault. the door
Of which he pried OF, securing three
revolvers and supply Of ammunition.
He donned the coat and hat of Book
keeper Charles Butler, left the ONCE
and was Joined by Ryan, who is the
prison milkman. and together they left
the grounds.
One of the guards saw this from a
distance, but thought the bookkeeper
was accompanying Ryan somewhere.
AS soon as 1T was known the men
were escaping, the hounds were placed
on their trail and the guards followed.
Eastman was sentenced by Judge
Ben Lindsey in Denver several months
ago and was sent to this place wholly
unaccompanied, arriving here after
dark and walking to the institution.
where he presented his papers. He has
acted as stenographer in the office and
had evidently been planning his es-
cape for some time.
Ryan was sentenced from the Dis
trict Court here last January on a
charge of robbery committed in Salida.
The dogs were shot near the Cotton
wood Hot Springs hotel, five miles
west, and later, when the boys were
overtaken, number of shots were ex-
changed between them and the guards.

View of the Vacant Lot Farms.

burg, subdivided them into 94 plots, and rallied them of among those who applied for them. families with many children being first considered. In the center of every garden plot was a playground for the little ones.
 The societies started the work of preparing the ground and even fur nished fertilizers and seeds. This be- ing done, the plots were taken over and cared for by the families to whose share they had fallen. The enthu- siasm and perseverance with which these city dwellers entered upon their farming was surprising.
 Instead of crowding into train or a tram bound for the pleasure resorts in the suburbs, these people place their youngest child. their tools and their lunch basket in the baby's car riage and set out early in the morn. ing to spend their holiday in their own garden. There father and moth. CT work or rest, and the children play in the open until late in the evening. when one can see processions of them returning to their city flats.
 Nor Is it only on holidays that they resort to their gardens. As soon as the warm weather has set in. the wives go there early in the afternoon. the children follow after school hours and the father joins the family on coming from his work. The principal meal of the family being taken at noon, it is quite possible for the fam fly of a Berlin workingman owning such a garden to spend from five to seven hours daily in the open. When not busy caring for their potatoes, cabbages. cucumbers and other vege- tables, the mothers sit in the shade of the arbors sewing, while the chIl. dren romp about.
 There is a spirit of emulation among the people which Is encouraged by the patrons. who at an annual harvest feast view the results attained and join In the general merrymaking. It Is their aim not only to promote the physical well being of the people. but to foster T feeling of neighborliness. To strengthen this spirit of solidarity and prevent an estrangement among the plot neighbors during the long winter. there is at least one meeting of a social nature on the grounds in the cold season.
 This enterprise is hardly five years old. but the s4 plots originally given 10 the people in Charlottenburg have become upward of HOO in various parts of Berlin Extraordinary req sons must prevail If any owner de cides to give up his plot When one Of those rare cases occurs. there are hundreds of applicants eager to fill the vacancy. The people cling to the bit of ground as If 1t were a valuable old family place.

New York.-The visitor to the Ger man capital who Is not satisfied with the beaten track of the guide book and the average sightseer may at this season of the year find in Charlotten- burg or any of the outlying districts of the city spectacle not only un- usual and picturesque, but delightful from sociological standpoint.
 One comes across tracts of land slightly below the street level which are green with regular rows of yege- tables or brilliant with beds of flow CTS. At one end of each garden plot Is simple little hut or latticed ar bor covered with vines. Men are busy with spades. women with rakes, children with sprinkling cans. Or they sit about homemade table in the shade and sip their coffee and con- sume-as every genuine Berliner does -enormoas quantities of cake. There is an air of contentment about the scene which is doubly refreshing aft CT the sight of the bustling crowds, loaded with lunch baskets, that plod along the hot and dusty roads toward the beer gardens of the Grunewald. These people have no need to seek the open; they enjoy an outing on ground which is theirs.
 A num5er of societies which have at heart the health and the welfare of the people are the founders of the philanthropy which offers the work ingman living with his family in a stuffy tenement a plot of ground, easy of access, where he can rest from in- door work by little gardening. They took the cue from an exhibit at the Paris exposition of 1900, where the Ligue Franchise du Coin de Terre ct du Foyer demonstrated the work of 60 corporations that have given to French laborers plots of ground where these people grow their own supply of vegetables and in doing so improve their physical we'll being and add to the few and simple joys of their life. The German societies leased two tracts of unimproved land near a workhgmen's district of Charlotten.
