NO STOMACH TO SPARE.

"Patients who come to hospital clin- ics are in deadly fear of being operated upon," remarked a Roosevelt hospital interne. They are under the impress sion that the doctors stand with the knife poised ready to plunge it into them at random and on the slightest excuse.
 "A man, whose complaint was some form of indigestion, had been shown by one of the doctors how to relieve his trouble by massaging or kneading the afflicted region. This he promised to do night and morning.
 Well, do you knead your stomach ?' asked the physician when the patient appeared at the clinic a week later.
 Sure 1 need my stomach" the man said quickly as he placed both hands over the threatened organ and back

CODFISH DINNER.


 Andrew J. Aikens of Milwaukee Wis, has for forty years given an an nual codfish dinner in celebration of Forefathers' day. As forty-one Puri- tans signed the famous compact on the Mayflower. MT. Aikens invites just that number of guests to these dinners, all of them supposedly Mayflower de- .scendants. The dinner was held at the Milwaukee club, and Judge Henry E. Rowland of New York, in his letter of regret, told of two characteristic toasts given by a Kentuckian and a citizen of the Bay state. The gentleman from the Blue Grass country, toasting his own state, proposed
 Here's to the state of Kentucky,
 The state where I was born; Where the corn is full of kernels,
 And the colonels are full of corn.
 The man from Massachusetts arose, and gave this toast
 Here's to the state of Massachusetts,
 The home of the sacred Cod; Where the Adamses vote for Douglas,
 And the Cabots walk with God
 It is to be feared that Judge How land wrote both, but this is very clever work, whether or no.

DOG THREW KISSES TO WOMEN

There is a very polite French poodle dog awaiting it's owner at the West Forty-seventh street police station. The dog appeared in front of the Hotel As tor shortly after o'clock and startled two ladies aighting from a carriage when it stood on its hind legs anl threw kisses at them.
 This was too much for Policeman Jim McKeown, who stood near by. The cop roared at the masher:
 ''That'll do yez. G'wan out O here.'
 Seeing the arm of the law approach ing, the dog raised it's right paw to it's head in salute, whereupon lest it should prove to be a member of the force the policeman became polite and in vited it to go and see the captain-New York Sun.

aging Figures...lCS Patients Discharged.
 The trustees of the New York State Hospital for Incipient Pull monary Tuberculosis in the Adiron- dacks have issued their completed statistics for,She first year, which is as follows: There were admitted 2o7 patients, more than half of whom were incipients. There were no deaths. Of the 1o5 patients dis charged, ffty-two were apparently recovered. Twenty-six arrested cases are reported. Sixteen improved, while eleven left without any inn provement. The treatment consists mainly of outdoor air, wholesome food and rest. Patients have three full meals and two or three lun- cheons a day, and 90 of the 1o5 gained an average of 1o.N pounds each. SThis is certainly most en- couraging and shows that incipient consumptives at least can be cured. There is another treatment perhaps almost as good. Stay home, use cold baths in the morning, get as much outdoor exercise as possible, a generous diet and the continuous use of Scott's Emulsion will doubt less check the progress of the dis ease and may permanently cure. At any rate it is easy to try it.

I have had many calls of late for 5. 10 AND 20 ACRE TRACTS.

of land near enough to the business center of Phoenix so that a man could do business in the city and live on small place in the country. Having this in view I have purchased so acres lying 3-4 mile west of the fair ground on the Christy road. The ground lays just right for subdividing into ,, 10 and 20 acre tracts and each tract fronting on the Christy coun- ty roads. The soil is of the richest alluvial and of the best straw berry land in the valley. With the land there is water right in the Mar icopa canal and an independent lateral belonging exclusively to this tract of land, all the way from the canal to the land. I am going to put this tract on the market at $100 to $125 per acre for short time. This is far below the value of land in this immediate vicinity and I am justified in saying that the surroundings are of the best in the valley. It also has the proximity of the street car to Phoenix. If you want something that will double in value in a year or two. Here is your chance.

WASHINGTON. D. 81 Oct. %. =
The President has had several confer
ences with Secretary Taft since the
return Of the latter from Cuba and
he has announced to the reporters
that he is so well satisfied with the
status of Cuban affairs that he will
not postpone his visit to Panama, but
will leave early In November, probably
the eighth, for the Isthmus. 1t was
first stated that Secretary Taft would
accompany the President, but since
the big Secretary is not empowered
with ubiquity though he is needed
every where at once. he will be left
behind to keep down tho lid at Wash.

ers. the Tennessee and the Washing.
ton, which are being prepared for the
trip. Making the journey in this way
the President will technically not be
on of American soil and will there
fore not violate the tradition to that
effect. He will probably start soon
after the election which will give him
three weeks on the Isthmus and time
to return to Washington before the
converting of Congress. This visit to
Panama is one Of the startling and
characteristic things that the Presi-
dent is always doing, Not satisfied
with any ones report Of affairs there
he will make tour Of inspection for
himself and officials there will not be
able to put on enough white wash to
cover anything from his penetrating
eye. With his wonderful energy the
country may be assured that he will
not spare any pains to make a COM
plete investigation.
There are reports that two men will
be appointed to fill the vacancy made
by Judge Magoon's departure from
the Isthmus and it is not improbable
that Chief Engineer Stevens will be
made Governor of the Zone in addi-
ton to his position he now holds as
head of the engineering work of the
canal. This would in a way center
the responsibility of affairs there in
one reliable person, though by reason
of the exacting work of the construc-
tlon Of the canal the chief engineer
would be compelled to turn over many
of the duties of the governorship to
an assistant who would be appointed
by the President. The desire of the
President in this matter, it is said, is
to diminish the Importance Of the gov
crnorship there and to increase the
importance of that of the United
States minister to Panama. At this
writing it seems probable that Mr.
souires, late minister to Cuba, will
receive the Panama appointment.
