DEATH FROM DISEASE;
MANY UNNECESSARY
Daily and Hourly Tribute Of Human
Victims to Bodily AlIment.
Good Healthy


The latest returns tell us that the
total loss of life by the earthquake
and fire Tin San Francisco) foots up
less than 1900. This number has been
many times greatly exceeded. For
example. in the Lisbon earthquake of
1855, $4,000 persisted. The Calbria
earthquake of 1888 killed $4,000. In
1896 tidal wave forty feet high pro-
duced by earthquake killed $4,000 on
the coast of Japan. At Martinique 49,
900 persisted. But these disasters are
nothing-they are but drops in the
ocean. when we think of the daily and
hourly tribute of human victims to
disease. Here are the figures:
37,500,000 persons die each year.
100000 persons die each day.
1890 persons die each hour.
20 persons die each minute.
l person dies each Second.
Every thirty minutes, then, more
people die than were killed by the
earthquake. Most of these are the
victims of preventable disease. In
the United States alone 10000 per-
sons die annually of pneumonia, Alb
persons of apoplexy, 10000 persons
die of cancer-more than a million
persons dying of the four diseases
only, all of which are preventable. If
the earthquake is terrible because of
the loss of human life, here is some
thing almost infinitely more terri

hearts are calloused to the stricken

child's lament We take death from
disease as a matter of course and

Value Of Good Ronds to Propertx.

broker, could have bought a certain

An "Object lesson road was built in
the locality. and he was authorized by
a client to pay $4,000 for it, but found
when he made his tender that it had
just been sold for $2,700. The value
had been enhanced by an amount suffi-
cient to pay for half mile of i'm
proved road, and the gain on value of
half a mile of abutting property at the
same rate would pay for ten miles of
good roads at the same cost.

The question, Shall | ADVERTISER,
comes to every merchant at the time
when business is dull, observes an
exchange. He sometimes satisfies
himself with the conclusion that while
business is dull he cannot afford it.
This is the time when he should make
an extra effort to afford 1t. When
business picks up, one merchant will
say that he has all the business he
needs, and another will say that while
business is good, he will advertise.
| There is with many merchants IA mis-
taken idea in regard to advertising. A
man who has business should adyer-
tise it continually. When business is
slow, endeavor 10 liven it up, and when
it does liven up, endeavor to keep it
alive. Some business men say that
with their particular business they
have nothing to advertise. If not,
then they ought to keep their names
before the public continually in way
that will attract attention. If you
can t advertise your goods, advertise
your personality, and if people do not
buy your goods because of their merit,
make them buy out of respect for
your pluck and ingenuity in placing
them before the public. Advertise with
all the money you can spare. 1t pays.

New POSTAGE Stamps.

Starting with 1907, the postoffice
department will put new arrange
ment in force that is likely to prove
rather interesting, for it has been
decided that each one of the six
thousand presidential offices shall
have special stamps made for ii.
The postmasters of these offices
who apply for stamps after the new
year will be furnished them with
the name of the town and state dis
tinctly printed upon them. The de-
partment is introducing this inn

track OF the stamps, and to make
it more difficult for persons robbing
the offices to dispose of their ILL

Horse Queen of Idaho.

Miss Kittic Wilkins, known as
the Horse Queen of Idaho who
manages her own big ranch in the
Bruneau valley, was in town yester-
day. The lady is famed far and
near for the brilliant success she
has attained as a stock breeder,
making specially of horses, but
owning large herds of cattle Also
Among her friends and acquaint-
ances, however, it is her PERSONAL
ity that commands admiration. Of
queenly presence, strikingly hand
some, dressing with exquisite taste,
she presents a picture pleasing to
the eye; highly educated, endowed
with all the feminine graccs and an
entertaining conversationalist, she
is altogether a charming woman
nent of the astride practice of
riding for women; says that she
can ride in the good old fashion,
graceful way forty or fifty miles a
day without fatigue; while astride
ten miles tires her out. She thinks
the present craze of initiating man
on horseback will die out at no dis
tant day and custom will revert to
the older, better way. While here
she bought the cowboy outfit of
saddle, bride and chaps, coin silver
mounted, made by Meserole
Brothers and which took first prize
at the Elmore county fair in Sep
tember. Miss Wilkins returned
home today and will leave for
southern California Immediately
after the holidays, where her
mother now is.
