Simple Home Remedies Like This for
Rheumatism and Kidneys, Being

A well known authority states
that there are more cases of
kidney trou Die here now than
ever before, while recent reports
show that more people succumb
each year to some form of kid
ney disease than any other cause.
When there is q sickness, ex-
anime the urine. Rheumatism
is only a symptom of kidney
trouble. It is nothing more or
less than excessive uric acid in

formity; often reaches the heart
when death ensues. . =
HIPains across the back, frequent
painful and suppressed urina-
ton and other symptoms of weak
bladder are not the only signs
of kidney trou BILE; many cases of
stomach disease, headache, pain
in the heart, inactive liver: etc.,
are but symptoms; the cause of
which can be traced to feeble,
clog ged kidneys.
The physicians for the insur-
ance companies always carefully
examine the report on the con-
dition of the urine. It is a GER
tain sign of sickness or health
of the human body.
A test of the urine should be
made by every man and woman
at least once each year. A sim.
pie test is to void a small guam
tity of urine in a bottle or glass
and let it stand over night; next
morning, if there is a reddish
bro 1dust sediment, or white
fleecy substance present, either
consult some reputable physi-
clan or take a good vegeta BILE

scription is recommended highly
IN these cases, and if desirable
the sufferer can mix it at home.

harmless and inexpensive: Com.

Tlae caIerge Paradox.

Freezing Is usually associated with
cold, but water can be frozen on q red
hot plate. This pretty experiment has
rightly been called the calOric para
dox. II drop OF water Is placed on q
redhot or white hot metal plate 1t
does not suddenly fash into steam I'M
der the influence Of the great heat. It
does not even boil. It simply evapo-
rates quietly and slowly as it rolls
about the plate. Now. suppose that
the drop on the plate Is . volatile liq-
uid like sulphurous acid. It viii evap-
crate, and this evaporation will pro-
duce cold. Let drop Of water fall
in the suIphurous acid drop. and 1t will
be frozen in spite of the heat. II. Bou-
tigny thus froze water On white hot
platinum capsule. Faraday carried
this remarkable experiment even fur
ther. Pouring some ether and sOiidi-
fed carb0nic acid gas on : redhot plat
inum capsule, he formed q spheroldal
mass which evaporated very slow
y. He then brought some mercury
into contact with II. and this was In
stantly frozen. Now, mercury requires
. temperature Of 20 degrees below ZERO
to soIldify II. and here i was frozen On

Business Increasing.

AS enc evidence that Alamo
gordo is progressing and build
ing up we have only to refer to
the business Of the AlamogOrdO
post Office. Notwithstanding the
railway exodus this last fall sales
of stamps at the post Office were
$500 better in the last quarter OF
1906 than in che same quarter of
1905. Furthermore. the receipts
we're five dollars a day greater
for December, 1905, than for
December, 1905, business of
each month being simply of or
dinary sales. And the receipts
for the nine months to Decem-
ber 81, 19O6,-from April L.
were $500 better than for the
same nine months of 1905, al
though in the 1905 count were
Included 5000 for stamps and
envelopes bought by the railway
offices while still here. Cutting
this out, the ordinary sales for
the two periods would show an
Increase of 5000 in the nine
months of 1906 over the nine
months of 1905. The registers
sent from Alamogordo and the
humber of money orders issued
were each greater in number
than in December, 1905, when
we thought we were enjoying
big business. This is very sig-
nificant, especially so since we
looked for decrease instead of
increase.
During the rush ON account of
Christmas business the clerical
force handled everything SO ef-
ficiently that one would hafdly
notice q rush OH. The clerks
worked systematically and all
mail matter was ekpeditiously
looked after to the end that no
out of the ordinary inconvenience
was experienced by the public.

Criminal CareIessness /!

We are reliably informed that
sewerage from Gees pools have
been emptied at or near the
race track just north of town.
This is simply criminal care
lessness!
Some of this sewerage came
from the hospital cess pool.
There have been a number Of
typhoid fever cases at the hos
pital during 1906.
These cases were brought in
from other localities and placed
in the hospital for treatment.
By the proper care there was
no spread of this dreaded disease,
which reflects great credit to DR..
Bryan.
Now, strange to say, the very
deadly poison that can cause a
spread of the disease is dumped
in the edge of town where it can
wash down into town and infect
hundreds Of innocent people.
