The fact, as reported, that over 400 saloon keepers at San Francisco are willing and anxious to pay $6,- 300 each, for license to run saloons, rather indicates that the city is being rapidly rebuilt. Possibly the fact that prohibition was made to pro- hibit in Frisco ever since the earth quake, causes the applicants to be more eager than usual.

SUMMER HEALTH RULES.
Some Excellent Suggestions That Have
 Reason Behind Them.

Last September the New York World inaugurated contest re- lating to health rules, and the first prize for the best ten rules was awarded to Robert Spilman, l7 McTavish St., Montreal, Can ada. His very excellent rules are as follows:
 l. Think healthy thoughts.
 2. Breathe deep and always through the nose.
 3. Plenty of water between meals.
 4. Eat moderately -masticate thoroughly.
 5. Work hard aud bathe often.
 6. Relax both mind and body one hour every noon.
 z. Associate with healthy people.
 8. Study the Law of Thought" and apply its teachings
 9. Relax every limb and muscle before dropping to sleep.
 10. Sleep in cool, clean, well ventilated room, eight hours at least out Of every twenty-four.
 One of the most essential means of prolonging the activities of the body is drinking a sufh cient quantity of water daily The elimination of the waste m aterial of the body is essential to health, and without an abun- dant supply of water, this elimin- ation is retarded and serious disturbances follow.
 If the people would take less nutrition and drink more water, there would be less rheumatism, gout, eczema and neuralgia Tn the world.
 The most frequent of these de- arrangements Is an excess of nutritive materials. The blood is surcharged with salts that are not needed in the system.
 The doctors are trying to reme- dy these diseases by giving some thing to eliminate the salts, such as purgatives, diuretics and sol vents, of various kinds. The rational way, however, to cure such affections is to stop the cause. Drink more water, eat less meat and concentrated foods.
 This shuts off the supply of urateS in the blood.
 Those who take active exercise in the open air every day require a greater amount of nutrition Not only do they use up the uutritive materials in muscular exercise, but the amount of oxygen inhaled because of their activities thoroughly oxidiz S the urates and changes them into urea. If the blood is loaded with urates they are very likely to cry stalize, especially in those portions of the body where the circulation is the least, and the temperature the lowest, such as the elbow, ankles, the toes and fingers.
 Drink more water, eat less food. This is prescription that IS worth more to such people than all the drugs in the world.
 Shut off the sources of urate poisoning and the effects of urate poisoning will disappear.

Secretary Taft Tells Warning Faetiors
That Now is the Time to Decide
Whether They Would Have
Cuba Live as Nation.

Havana.-A second day OF confer
ences with the leaders Of the factions
IN the Cuban conflict has not enabled
Secretary Taft and Assistant Secre-
tarv of State Bacon to announce any
nlan for compromising the dimculty.
So strenuous are the appeals OF both
the liberal and moderate party lead.
ers that the situation becomes In
creasingly complicated as the negotiar
lions proceed. However, Secretary
Taft said Thursday night that he BE-
Iieyed when they are brought face to
face with the danger Of losing indie
dependence forever, all patriotic Gu
bans will be willing to make conces-
sions.
Mr.. Taft added that the United
States peace emissaries are occupy
ing a most delicate position and have
undertaken to hear all complaints.
and that until they have made them
selves thoroughly conversant with the
political turmoil of Cuba they can
not express themselves freely in the
conference, fearing that possible mis-
understanding may have detrimer-
tai effect in the proceedings.
The only counsel to the politica!
leaders given by Mr.. Taft was on the
subject of not engaging in further agi-
tation that might make Intervention
by the United States necessary. This
advice he offers freely to all to whom
he gives audience, regardless Of party
Mr. Taft has made 1t clear that the
United States Is not seeking to exer-
else control over the island or any
of its affairs, but he has quoted Pres
ident Roosevelt's letter to Mr.. Que
sada to the effect that the United
States has a duty which 1t cannot
shirk. To those whom he has met In
conference Mr. Taft has said that now
is the time to decide whether they
would have Cuba live as a nation. He
has weighed every word carefully and
has l~lther upheld nor criticised the
principles of either faction.

TAFT HAS FULL POWER
TO SETTLE TROUBLE
The Secretary Considers It the Duty
of the United States to GIVE Gu
bans Another Chance.

Hayana.-AIl classes are now
awaiting for the conditions under
which tranquility will likely be re-
stored in Cuba, and keen disappoint-
ment is expected Oh every side be-
cause OF the likelihood OF peace being
brought about without armed Ameri-
can Intervention. That the differ
ences of the opposing factions couid
be reconciled was not generally De-
Heved to be possible until Sunday
when IL was announced that the I'D
erals and the insurgents had EN-
powered a committee TO represent
them before the American medlators'
1t is evident that the business inter-
ests OF the island have no confidence
in the ability OF the Cubans TO RUE
themselves, and now, when 1t appears
too late, they are openly favorihs
forcible intervention and possibly an
nexation.
Secretary of War Taft is cognizant
of this general opinion that peace
cannot last unless it is enforced by
an American army, but he considers
that it is the duty of the United
States to give the republic another
chance, and believes that it would be
bad policy for the United States to
keep a force in Cuba longer than was
required to supervise the laying down
OF arms. He said that If the liberals
and moderates harmonic their dlf-
ferences the United States must re-
gard the compact as made in good
faith
