Watery Eyes.-Relief may be obtain
ed by bathing the eyes several times a
| day with wash consisting of ten
grains of pure borax and two ounces
of camphor water.
Rheumatic Knee.-Try salicylate of
soda, five drains tincture of nux vom-
lea, three drains, and essence of pepsin
enough to make four ounces. The dose
for an adult Is one teaspoonful every
two or three hours.
Superduous Hair.-A growth of hair
is annoying to a girl who wears short
sleeves. Depilatories are dangerous and
electrolysis, the only sure cure, is an
expensive treatment To minimize the
trouble dark hairs may be bleached.
Wash the arms with weak solution bf
ammonia and water. Then pour lit
tie peroxide of hydrogen in the water
and apply with piece of linen. The
bleaching process will have to be re-
peated from time to time, but peroxide
is harmless to the skin.
Nasal Catarrh.-In the treatment of
this persistent and often intractable dis
order, good results have been obtained
by the internal administration five or
six times each day of one-half teaspoon
full doses in one-half ounce of water of
a mixture of one ounce of specific echin-
acea and two ounces of stillingia. The
latter intensifies the action of echina-
cea in its influence upon the mucous
surfaces. Tincture of gelsemium, two
drops every hour during the day, push
ed to physiological point, will abort
catarrhal cold. Three grains Of salicy-
late of strontium, added to each dose,
reinforces it if rheumatism is suspectkd.
Neuralgla.-If the neuralgia is in the
right side of the face the left hand
should be placed in a basin of water as
hot as can be born; or If neuralgia is
in the left side of the face, then the
right hand should be placed in the hot
water. 1t is asserted that in this way
relief may be obtained in less than i've
The two nerves which have
the greatest number of tactile endings
are the fifth and the medium nerve.
AS the fibers OF these two nerves cross

According to the figures supplied me
by A. f. Potter Of the forest service,
the ranges of the Dakotas, Montana,
Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Colora-
do, Texas and Oklahoma Ga total of
about 100000 square miles, or half of
the plains were, according to the cen
sus of 1900, carrying 24,O00O00 head
of cattle and horses and about 6,000,-
600 head of sheep. This means that
when fully stocked they might sustain
a number of buffalo at least equal to
the number of cattle and horses. The
buffalo had to divide their heritage
with numerous herds of mustang, an
telope and wapiti. On the other hand,
n buffalo could find a living where
range animal would starve, many of
the richest bottom lands are now fenc-
ed in, and we have taken no account
of the 100000 sheep. Therefore we
are safe in placing at 100000 the
buffalo formerly living on the entire
plains area.
Their prairie range was a third as
large, but it was vastly more fertile
indeed, the stockmen reckon one prai-
rie acre equal to four acres on the
plains. Doubtless, therefore, the prai-
ries sustained nearly as many head as
the plains. We may safely set their
population at 30,000,000. The forest
region was the lowest In the rate of
population For its 100000 square

CONDITIONS IMPROVING.
Diminution of Typhoid Fever Gases
in the District.

The prevalence of typhoid fever In the
District continues to decline, according
to the weekly health report submitted to
the Commissioners today by the health
officer for the week ending Saturday last.
This record shows that there were only
ten new cases of this disease reported
last week. making 100 cases on hand. At
the close of the preceding week there were
139 cases on hand.
According to the report there were 1876
deaths in the District last week, which
was 10 less than recorded the preceding
week. and 10 in excess of the number re-
ported the corresponding week Of 1906.
OF the deaths last week rs were white
persons and 81 colored. The prevailing
diseases enumerated as causing recent
mortality were: Apoplexy. 16 deaths;
pneumonia and diseases of heart. Ii
deaths each; pulmonary tuberculosis, IL
deaths: diseases of the kidneys, 10 deaths;
malignant growths and bronchitis, 5.
There were lib births reported. 115 of
which were white and So colored. There
was little change in the prevalence of the
minor contagious diseases.
