Woods of Maine, and whose remark
able cures there have attracted great
attention from the medical world, says
that his entire treatment consisted Of

mixed with Whisky and Glycerfne, in
the following proportions:
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) II OF.
Glycerine .........
Good Whisky ........ 81
Used in teaspoonful doses every four
hours.
1t is claimed that the above mixture
will heal and strengthen the lungs,
break up cold in twenty-four hours,
and cure any cough that is durable.
The ingredients can be secured from
any good prescription druggist at
small cost and can be easily mixed In
your own home.

Switzerland, according to a report re-

concessions for quarrying these great

and engineering ability displayed
in erecting slides and in pro

considerable ingenuity and skill.
Glacier ice, which is perfectly pure
and transparent. and which has many
qualities greatly appreciated by con
sumers. commands a higher value
than that of the usual kind obtained
from the surface OF frozen ponds or

A singular feature in connection
with the preparation of the ice for the

MOST ANCIENT APPLE TREES.
Planted by Spaniards in New Mexico,
They Have Borne Fruit 900 Years.

Ell Paso, Textile oldest apple
orchard in America if not in the world
is in the center of the ancient town
of Manzano. Is miles southwest Of
Estancia. Torrance county. New Mex
leo Many of the trees are more than
six feet in circumference. but all are
still fruitful and vigorous although
neglected for generations Little is
known of the history OF this orchard.
but the oldest inhabitants Ct the val
ley of the Rio Grande remember the
orchard from childhood and claim
that the trees have not changed in
appearance since then. Venerable
Mexicans and Pueblo Indians tell Of
visiting the orchard as far back as
they can remember and finding apples
on the ground in all stages of decom-
position at least two feet deep.
The Estancia valley has been peo-
pied for ages, probably by the kins-
men of the natives found by the Span
ish explorers at Gran Quivira. Abo
and other ancient cities. Probably in
the early days of the Spanish occupa-
ton some Franciscan monk found his
way TO Manzano and there planted the
seeds that have developed into these
venerable trees. They are no doubt
fully 300 years old.
Close by the orchard is a little lake
fed by large spring. A short dis
lance away is a grove of pines and
cedars, making an ideal place for
picnic and camping parties.
