PHELPS S-OODGE CO.
WILL NOT LET 60
President WinChsll Denies Pos
sible Rock Island Purchase.
FL Paso Herald.

FL PasO Herald.
In comprehensive denial that
the Rock Island has planned to
build to the Pacific coast from
FL Paso to San Diego, B. L.
Winchell, president of the Rock
Island, is quoted as saying:
1T has been limited that the
Rock Island would take over the
FL Paso & Southwestern, and,
with this as a connecting link
between Ell Paso and Benson,
build westerly from Benson to
the coast But there is absolute
ly no truth in these stories.
The El Paso & Southwestern
is owned by the Phelps Dodge
people, and they have use for
the properties in connection
with their mining operations.
They recently bought the Ell
Paso & Northeastern to insure a
coal supply.
This is the line that runs
northeasterly from Ell Paso and
affords the Rock Island an en-
trance into FL Paso. The pur-
chase of this road by the Phelps
Dodge people does not affect the
Rock Island. We have a long
term traffic arrangement that
will continue in force for many
years to come. The Rock Island
has absolutely no ownership or
interest in these properties of
the Phelps-Dodge people and ex-
poets to acquire none.
As for a Rock Island extern
sion to the coast, that is very
remote proposition. l cannot
imagine a railroad building to
San Diego and stopping there.
If | were going to build rail
road to the coast, / would want
to reach the whole coast. L
would want to build to Los An
geles, San Francisco, Portland,
and Seattle. So you can see it
is a pretty big proposition .

EXCLUDED FROM THE MAILS
POstOaice Department Will Try
to Stop Illegal Medicine Offices"
From Doing Business.

Washington, March .25.-Or-
ders have been issued by the
Postmaster General instructing
the postmasters of New York
and Brooklyn to refuse to admit
to the mails the advertisements
of fifty-two illegal medicine
offices" located in those cities,
and also to refuse to deliver mail
matter received addressed to the
ficticious and assumed names
ueder which parties conducting
these concerns hide their ident-
ity. For some time past the De-
partment has had inspectors
working in New York gathering
the necessary evidence to close
the mails in these cases, and the
officials Of the Department ex-
pressed the belief that practical
ly all of the criminal concerns of
this character in these cities
have been covered. This action
at New York and Brooklyn is in
line with the efforts previously
made by Postmaster General
Cortelyou in Boston and Phila-
delphia to enforce the law against
this class of criminal concerns.
In Boston, last March thirty
of these concerns were barred
from the mails, and the Govern
ment's crusade in Philadelphia
last September resulted in clos
ing thirteen establishments
charged with being illegal med
icine Offices thus practically
closing all such concerns there.
A statement given out at the
Postofiice Department says:
The condition of affairs which
has developed under the Depart
ment's campaign in all of these
cities has been appalling. It|
was found that in a large number
of instances those engaged in
conducting these Offices have
criminal records and are dope
fiends. 7"
In Boston one of the concerns
excIueded from the mails was
supposed to have been the Office
at which was performed the fatal
upon the young woman,
Susan Geary-the suit case mur-
der. One Of the ''doctors'' whom
the department found identified
with several Of these ''ofIices''
in Boston was also connected
with the Susan Geary case. The
number Of deaths that have been
caused in these Offices can never
be known.
The volume Of business done
BY these concerns was large. I'll
was said that as high as twenty
criminal operations q day were |
performed ii some Of these Off
tes and that the incomes, some |
Zines ranged as high as so, 900
) week.

THE HEART 4 PROM
MENT FACTOR
In the PrsdispOsitiOn to Tubsr-
CulOsis and Consumption.

Another physician, DIR. Woods
Hutchinson of London, writing
in an English medical journal,
makes the statement that the
size of the heart is q prominent
factor in the predisposition to
tuberculosis. Lack of fresh air,
proper exercise and nOurishing
food, loss of sleep, bad position
in standing and sitting, hard
labor performed in childhood,
tend to stunt the growth Of the
heart. 1t therefore lacks cap
acity to properly circulate the
blood. He further states that a
weak, undersized, muscularly
deficient heart is indicated by
weak, rapid pulse and defective
sound of the heart beat. and is
one Of the most constant and
significant conditions preceding
the development of consumption
and should always arouse suspi-
cion of incipient tuberculosis.
Still another physician wri tes
in the French journal l'Illustra-
tion that the growing custom of
keeping children out of their
beds at night or arousing them
from their beds in the morning
to work on their school lessons
is lone of the worst evils of the
day." The educational system
that requires most of the pre-
paration of studies to be done
outside of school hours is depriv-
ing children of the amount of
rest necessary for mental and
physical health. Children are
not permitted to sleep enough.
Their night is all too short. Ac-
cording to this French authority
growing children, or all children
under is years of age, require
from nine to ten hours of sleep
in summer and in winter even
more. In addition to the time
needed to recuperate from physi-
cal and mental strain the child
must have time in which to
make new growth, else develop
ment will cease. With the adult
time for recuperation is all that
is necessary. Yet in how many
intelligent families it is the
practice to let the children sit
up as late as do the grown folks,
and then waken them from sound
morning sleep to prepare for
school.
1t is to such mischievous Gus
toms among the better classes as
well as overworking the child
among the poorer classes that
DIR. Hutchinson attributes poor
heart development. The child
who has not had sufficient sleep
feels languid in the school room
and sits all bumped over at his
desk. Neither his heart nor his
lungs can act properly under
such conditions. The poor little
victims Of the child labor evil
are notoriously understood and
badly developed, in mills and
sweat shops, in factories and
houses, in coalbreakers
and mines, their employments
confine them to one position, and
and whether sitting or standing,
it is bad. 1t contracts the chest,
bends the back and impedes the
action Of the heart and the cir
culation. That an alarmingly
large per cent of child workers
fall victims to tuberculosis be-
fore they have reached adult
years, or else early in life, is
well known. AsDr. Knopf says,
it is too late then to call in a
Something must be
done about it at a very much
earlier stage, and to reach the
masses, who are the chief suffer-
ers, the only really effective and
avoidable avenue seems to be
the school room.

"You may we'll believe I was thrilled
and excited by what l had read and
lost no time in further questioning
the man before me, as to the present
whereabouts Of Ammihud, and how
he came to be in Ethiopia. To the
first question he pointed to the south
west and said: Far, far and in re-
ply to the second he told me that
Ammihud had been brought by his
master from Egypt some 80 years be-
fore and had continued faithful in
his service, having been given the
promise that some day he would be
allowed to return.
'sThe impulse to go at once in search
Of Ammihud was well-nigh irresistible,
but / must needs return and bring
order out of the chaos and reestab-
lish Egypt's rule over the country.
But / did not neglect to dispatch the
prisoner with a message to Ammihud
telling him that if his master would
allow his return to me, he, the mas
ter, should receive pardon at my
hands. That was months ago. l have
heard nothing, and, now that the affairs
Of state will permit, l go in search Of
