really did not exactly believe it was

Finally one day a severe and al
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and I gave up both
tea and coffee, using Postum instead
and since that time 1 have had aD-

Rural Water Supply.
IDAHO.

When such great sums of money are
being expended by city governments
that the inhabitants of towns MAJ
have sanitary water supply, it seems
strange that the supply in rural towns
shovld receive little or no attention.
Th'S latter population may seem rel
atiyely insignificant, but according to
the last census 1t comprises about 49,
100000 souls. This means that 49,
100000 people are drinking the water
most available, without a thought a.
its sanitary condition. These various
sources of supply, whether wells.
springs or small streams, are similarly
unreliable for furnishing drinking wa
ter. The statistics of mortality in the
country are very indefinite, but even
these show that the rural population is
not as free, from illness as it should be.
And though everywhere the rural
death rate is lower than the urban
death rate, yet the lowering in the
country has not been as great as in
the city. An examination of typhoid
statistics shows that the death rate of
other diseases is generally lower in
the country than in the city, but the
prevalence of typhoid is almost eQua!
TO II not greater in the rural districts
than in the cities. Several instances
have been reported which show the
rural typhoid rate to be ten times
greater than the urban rate for the
same district. To particularize, a GER
taIu district in central Pennsylvania
proves this fact 1t is made I'D of a
rural population with 100 inhabitants
10 the square mile. 1t Is a region of
hne farms, wild mountains and woods,
country residences and picnic groves.
And in this valley there has been as
much typhoid fever as in the city of
philadelphia. Sad as this condition is,
there seems to be no remedy for it,
The sources of city water supply are
few, and the city government easily
controls the conditions affecting it.
But what can be done when tle
sources of supply are numbered by the
thousands. A mint of money and an
army of chemists would not be suf-
nclent to give the same care to the
country supply that is given to that Of
the city.

Terrapin Alive in Ashes.

San Francisco.-One of the strangest
incidents following the great fire was
the finding of live terrapin in the
ruins of a building at the corner of
Powell and Washington streets. Miss
Charlotte Estes and Miss Lille Plow-
man went to the ruins of the Normal
school, where Miss Estes was a stu.
dent, and while investigating condi.
lions, noticed something move in the
ashes in the basement. Miss Estes
climbed down and removed the ashes
and debris and found the terrapin. It
was so active that when placed on
the ground near water it ran into the
bay and swan away. This animal
had undoubtedly passed through the
fire and lived for ten days in ths
ashes of the basement in which it was
found.

Our Army Is Small

In the sense in which the term is
used in Europe, this country has no
military reserve. The two military
forces recognized by law and custom
are the regular army and the militia. y
The regular army is a comparatively
small force. Taking into consideration
It's size, population and position among
nations, this country has the smallest
standing army in the world. For manv
years preceding the war with Spain
our regular army numbered only about
Zo,O00 men. With the outbreak of hos
Utilities with Spain came a very large
increase. After the close of the con-
nlct, however, there was a steady. radi-
Cal reduction, until the American
standing army to-day numbers only
ABOUT $4,000 men. Gs these, about one
fourth, or in the Aeighborhood of H.
ooO, are in the Philippines. A small
force is maintained in Alaska and q
still smaller in Hawaii leaving. in
round numbers, 10000 soldiers of the
regular army in this country. or an in.

days preceding the conflict with Snain

he began lue SIUuy VI every LuluS
that promised to throw light on the
mystery" said his brother. HE read
everything, strange books on mesmer-
ism, psychology, science, weird phil
osophies of the Hindus, Egyptians, and
of all the people on earth you can
think of. 1t became a passion with
him.
Some years ago he came to us in
the morning with the remark 1t is
all right. Don't worry about Lizzie.
She is better off than we are Then
he told us story OF remarkable vision.
- was lying OH the bed in my
room,' he said, when suddenly | be-
came conscious that THE real had
left the mortal body. | turned and saw
my body lying on the bed. l was a
spirit, or something | know not what.
Impelled by some unknown and unseen
power, | left the house and soon felt
myself rising in the air. After awhile
we stopped. 1t was a place something
like this world of ours, only much
more beautiful. But there was no sun
there.
We moved on and finally reached
the most beautiful spot that eyes have
ever seen. There were flowers and long
vistas of beautiful trees. l heard music
and sweet voices. 1t seemed as if all
the grand music | had ever heard was
joined into one. Away in the distance
saw great crowd. And there ]
saw Lizzie
From that time my brother became
more morbid than ever on the subject.
He was sure that the vision was real
and that he had been taken to an
other life. Finally, from his vision, he
became convinced that a person can
live forever in this world, provided
only he can renew his body, and that
it was possible to leave it temporarily
and wander to the next world. He de-
veloped a theory that starvation was
necessary to get rid of the old body
and before a new one could take it's
place.
He began the great experiment. Of
course, we knew he was just starving
to death. We tried in every
way to persuade MIN to eat. But he
was man of infexible will. He kept
getting weaker, thinner and thinner,
until everybody saw that he could not
live much longer, out still he would
not eat.
He recognized bis mistake few
days before the end. He felt he was
going. He said then that he would
take nourishment, but he had been a
vegetarian all his life, and we could
not get him to take any broth or meat.
we called in DR.. E. P. Greene, but it
was too late
He passed away cheerfully, saying:
i've made the great experiment, and
guess l have failed. But am not
sorry. 1t is all for the best.'''
