THOROUGH, HOMELIKE
SANITARIUM To-
GATED AT TAKoMA PARK.

One Of the most thoroughly equipped and
homelike institutions for health seekers it
is claimed. is the Washington Sanitarium,
which is located at Takoma Park, the
banks of the Sligo stream. The sanitarium
has but recently been completed, and dur
ing the past few months has enjoyed a
large patronage.
The surroundings of this institution are
not only inviting but delightful. The build
ing Is situated 300 feet above the city and
is an ideal spot for those seeking quiet and
rest from business anxieties. The tempera-
ture during the past few months has been
from five to ten degrees cooler. it is de-
clared, than in the city. The suburb OF
Takoma Park Is considered one Of the most
healthful sections in the vicinity of the
National capital. as has'been demonstrated
by its annual health reports.
The aim of the Washington Sanitarium Is
to restore health by the employment of all
rational means known to medical science.
Massage. water and sun baths. electricity,
physical culture and corrected dietary are
the agencies chiefly used in aiding nature
in her efforts in health restoration.
The first sanitarium established by Sew
enth Day Adventists was at Battle Creek,
Mich, in the year 1866.
At present Seventh Day Adventists have
treatment rooms and sanitariums all over
the world. AS body they believe bodily
healing to be part Of the gospel.
The new Washington Sanitarium at Ia
koma Park is one of the most recent addi-
tons to the work. 1t Is away from the
noise and hustle of the city. in the suburb
of Takoma Park. There on the bank of
the Sligo stream. surrounded by forest and
flowers, the spacious new building is stu

Washington, D. c., Jan. 3.-John F.

ed, If any. to correct the frauds COM
planned of under the coal land laws.
He thought these alleged fuadrs were
mainly in violation of coal land laws.
Coal Entries Made.

elusive, thirty three years, there were

S6,169, 1854; that last year there was but
but $4,000 acres of coal lands taken
from the 64,O00,0OO acres in the United
States.
Lacey said at this rate it would take
1000 years for coal lands of the coun-
try to be taken by purchase.
It is LacAy's opinion the law in it.
self Is not responsible for alleged
frauds but its connivance of people to
obtain title in violation of the law.

pied period of prosperity which the
railroads have enjoyed during the past
year should not continue during the
year 1907 There is no real reason
The country is prosperous and every
Indication points toward a continual
ton OF that prosperity. However, If
the present smiling spirit of hostility
on the part of at least portion of
the public, is allowed to run to an
excess, there can be no doubt but that
it will result in damage to the railroad
prosperity. The public should look
carefully at each step taken by the
legislators which it elects that is. hos

of the public are identical.

FRUIT JOBBERS

PRES. FERGUSON CHARGES
DISCRIMINATION
Says That Packing Shipments Re-

Many States Represented.

Kansas City, Jan. BIN his annual
address before the Western Fruit
Jobbers' association today, President
3. M. Ferguson of Duluth, said.
II draw attention to existing dis
elimination of the most pronounced
kind against the fruit shipments in
favor of the shipments of packing
house products, in the matter of sup
plying ice and refrigeration and in
the method of settling therefor"
Ferguson gave an array of figures
which he said had been taken from
tariffs, to sustain his allegations. AS
a remedy he favored the formation OF
freight bureau by the association,
whose duty it shall be TO formulate
some action that will give the de-
sired relief to the fruit shipper.
The third annual convention of the
Western Fruit Jobbers' association
has met with delegates present repre-
senting Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska,
Illinois, Iowa, Montana, Colorado,
Texas, South Dakota, Wisconsin,
North Dakota, Arkansas, Idaho, Louis
lana, Oregon, Utah, Washington and
Missouri.
The feature of today's sessions was
the report of the committee on trans
portation. The report stated the new
railroad rate law had been of great
benefit to fruit jobbers, but that fur
Their concessions from railroads were
necessary. There is, the report alleges
general complaint Of the prevalence
of over-charging on the part of rail-
roads. The quoted rate, it is declared,
cannot be depended upon.
The report alleges "the evil of ex-
press companies being buyers and sell
ers of products has not entirely abat-
ed" This alleged practice by which
express companies enter into compe-
tition with their patrons, shippers and
receivers was condemned.
