CONSUMPTION Increasing,
Average Now Is Four Hundred Deaths
Per Day.

Does the reader Ct this paper realize
that this very day,in this country alone,
four hundred homes are each made san
by the death of victim of consumption
Tomorrow will hs a repetition of to-
days calamity, and so it will go on Until
the people come to realize the fact that
a very large number of these dearhs
are entirely unnecessary.
Consumption is both contagious.
and durable disease III its first stages,
Yet many intelligent people DO not
realize this fact.
AS our druggist j. G.. Dodson says.
"drugs and cough syrUps for bronchial
and lurg troubles are only palliative
anG do BO permanent good: they may
deaden the cough and stimulate the
patient for time, hut they co not cure,
and they usually upset the stomach and
have bad after effect
Eminent physiciane, however, agree
| that when the symptoms of lung trouble
first appear, if the patient will obtain
all the sunshine by day, and all the
| fresh air by night possible, eat sound
bread stuffs, good meat, eggs and milk
in abundance, and take the best cod
liver preparation to be found, they will
| employ the surest means for a cure.
The undersigned will guarantee V mol

WILL REMEMBER THE BLIZZARD
Amerlcus Had Severe One Eleven
Years Ago

Tue recent cold snap recalls to many
Americas people the March Sd big.
zard of 1S95-eleven years ago tomor-
row night. Delightful weather had
been dished out for weeks past and
Americus had put on her ice cream ha-
bsliments and made ready for the good
old summer time. Gardens were grow
ing, and the merrimentaI foot of the
candidate was heard as he chased the
spring voter to the jungles of Mucka-
lee. But there came a change, with
chunks of ice on the side. Vegetation
vas k He'd as dead as a door nail, and
the awnbroker redeemed the overcoat
instanter. 1t was just such season as
this, but it IS hoped that history will
not be repeated now.

The most extraordinary o. Ell light
houses is to be r1,::l "a Arl,ah rock,
StornoWay bay, Il r1yn which is sepa-
rated from tie iS!inl Of Lewis by &
channel over go feet vide Ii is in the
HebrideS, Scotland. On It's rock a
conical beacon is erected. Ina on it's
summit q lantcIn is fixed, t@om which,
night after night, shines Il light which
is seen by the fishermen far ANA wide
Yet there is 10 burning lamp in the
lantern, ana no attendant ever goes to
It, for the simple reason that there is
mo lamp to attend to, 10 wick to train
and 10 oil well to repenish.
The way in which this peculiar light
house is Illuminated is this: "On the
island of Lewis, 500 feet Or so away,
is a lighthouse. and from a window in
the tower stream of light is project
ed on mirror in the lantern on the
summit of Arnish rock These rays
are reflected to an arrangement Of
prisms and by their action are con-
verged to focus outside the lantern,
from which they diverge in the neces-
sary direction"
The consequence is that to all intents
and purposes lighthouse exists which
has neither lamp nor lighthouse keeper
and yet whic, gives as serviceabie a
| light, taking into account the require
ments of the locality, as if an elaborate
and costly EohtlouSe with lamDs. Sery-
ice room. bedroom, living room, store
room, oil room, water tanks and all
other accessories, were erected on thu
summit of the rock.

THE ATMOSPHERE.
First Attempt to Weigh 1t Was Made
nv ArfafntIe.

First Attempt to Weigh 1t Was Made
by Aristotle.
If we are to believe both legend and
history, the first attempt to weigh air
was that made by Aristotle, the great
Greek philosopher of the fifth century.
He first weighed an empty goatskin
bag and then inflated it and again put
it in the balances, and because he
found no difference in weight under
the two conditions announced to the
world that air was substance wholly
without weight.
With modern laboratory apparatus
most any high school scholar can dem
onstrate the fact that flask of ten
cubic inches capacity weighs fully
three grains more when filed with air
than it does after being placed under
the exhaust of an air pump. The nu-
merOus experiments that have been
made on the weight of air warrant the
scientists in announcing that the
weight of the whole terrestrial atmos-
phere is about equal to that of a solid
copper ball siXty-two miles in diameter.
The philosophers have also shown that
the weight Of the atmosphere must be
limited to where gravity overcomes the
centrifugal force. If it We're of equal
density throughout its height above the
earth, it could not extend a greater alti-
tude than PISS feet, which would
leave about 1000 feet of Mount Ever
est sticking out above the atmosphere.
1t is a well known fact, however, that
air loses its weight and density as we
ascend from the sea level, and calcula-
tons which have been made on that
basis go to show that there may be
stratum of very thin air at height of
q 900 miles.

CONSUMPTION
PREvENTABLE
DISTINCTION IMPORTANT.
Results Obtained in Large Institution.

The Importance of disinfection is shown
by the results obtained at the Brooklyn
Home for Consumptives, the finest institu-
ton of the kind in New York. A letter
from the President is quoted:
''We have used Platt's Chlorides in the
Brooklyn Home for Consumptives for more
than ten years, and find it not only a COM
fort but necessity. Through its use we
defy the germs to make any inroads on
the nurses and employees who are in con-
slant attendance upon the sick. one hun
dred of whom are now in the institution.
One nurse has been there well on to ten
years, a second almost as long, and not one
person ever employed in the Home has de-
veloped lung trouble. Mrs. S. v. White,
President, Kingston Ave-, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Platt's Chlorides is an odorless, colorless
liquid disinfectant which instantly removes
any foul odors and destroys disease-breed-
ing matter. A quart bottle will last an
average family month and it can be
obtained at all druggists.

The Use of Quinine,

People who suffer with the liver and
who get run down in nerve strength
sometimes complain that quinine does
them no good, says physician The
reason is this: When quinine passes
into the intestine it is acted on by the
bfIe and forms with it a salt that is
soluble only in great excess OF bile,
so it passes out of the system without
entering the blood at all. To prevent
this bilious persons ought to clear out
the bile by a good liver pill or a saline
purgative before the quinine is taken.
Even when the liver is not affected 1t
is always best to take such medicines
before using Quinine
