BLOOD GETS SOUR.
Gives Advice and Tells of Simple
Home Mixture.

At this time Of year, says a we'll
known authority, the Kidneys become
weak, clogged and inactive, failing to
filter out the poisons and acids, which
sour the blood, causing not only facial
and bodily eruptions, but the worst
forms of Rheumatism, Nervous and
Stomach troubles, Backache and pain
full, annoying Urinary Affections.
1t is worth anyone's time now to get
from some good prescription pharmacy
the following ingredients: Fluid Ex-
tract DandeIfon, one-half ounce; Com
pound Kargon, one ounce; Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix
by shaking we'll in a bottle and take
in teaspoonful doses after your meals
and at bedtime.
This simple homemade mixture will
force the Kidneys to normal, healthy
action, so they will filter and strain all
uric acid and poisonous waste matter
from the blood, and eXpel this in the
urine. at the same time restoring the
full blood count'-thar is, 90 per cent

The Music of Man and Birds.

If the discovery of independent
evolutions of human music all tend
ing in the same direction indicates
the existence of an ideal standard
toward which progress leads, how
much stronger is the evidence afford
ed by the fact that bird music is de-
veloping along the same lines! IL
seems a far cry from Beethoven
symphony or a Wagnerian opera to
the simple law Of sparrow, but as
we trace the course of the mighty
river CT music back toward it's source
the stream becomes narrower and
narrower, until II is contracted to a
point where 1t is no broader than
the little rill of bird music, writes
Henry Oldys in Harpers. Nor does
Che decrease stop there; for. remark
able as it may seem, there was a
time when the music from which ours
has been evolved was inferior to
some OF that which floats to our ears
from the woods of spring. This is not

greater variety, but that they IRE

TOWNS BUILT IN A DASs
When 500 Houses Were Erected Be-
tween Sunrise and Sunset.

There recently died in London
gentleman who was concerned in per-
haps the most notable instance OF
rapid town creation. This was
George Chesterton Cornwel, one OF
the early pioneers of Australian col
onization in Victoria. 1t was hair a
century ago that he went out to the
colonies to try his luck. He was
there at the time Of the great gold
rush in Victoria, and took an active
part in the laying out OF Canvas
town, at Emerald Hill. This town
was literally built in a day. lncred-
ible as ii may seem, ample accom-
mediation for $4,000 persons was pro-
vided in the space Of 20 hours.
The town of Custer, named after
United States general in Colorado,
came into existence in single day.
1t consists of some 500 wooden
houses, all of which were constructed
between sunrise and sunset. Mate
rial was shipped in from factories
in the state, whole sections of wooden
walls, beams, joists and roofs in two
pieces having been made from care
fully prepared plans and exact speci'
| fcations.
Each piece of each building was
numbered and laid in order near the
site it was to occupy, so that 1t could
be the more readily handled. AS In
the building of King Solomon's tenn
| pie, all the pieces were made to mt
each other, the work of construction
being, therefore, only a matter OF fit
ting the pieces together and driving
few spikes. The site had all been
cleared and leveled in advance, and
1000 men in addition to the settlers,
were engaged in the building of the
town. The largest of the houses was
a boarding house, which was two sto-
ries high, and shops were erected for
bakers, butchers and other trades
men.
In Oklahoma more than one town
sprang up in q day. Thomas City
was q case in point. Indeed, accord
ing to report, it came into being in
single afternoon. Within few hours
5000 persons were comfortably set
tied and business was set in motion
A newspaper was likewise printed and
circulated among the new community
and a big birthday celebration was
held the following day.
Another Oklahoma boom town
which ran up like magic is Snyder
1t was born on q Friday. In anticipa
ton of that interesting event thou
sands of people hocked to the place
among whom were shop keepers, lant
agents and many others who were
anxious to secure the best sites OF
the natal day.
Until then nobody was allowed tC
enter the town area. At sunset Oh
the Thursday Snyder was nothing bu
, name, for it was minus houses, rail
: way and inhabitants. But soon afte
sunrise next morning fully 10000 per
, sons were on the spot. The town wa
, rapidly mapped out; the erection o
buildings was in progress; trains wer'
running; a railway station had beer
erected; while two hotels, thret
, banks and number of shops wer
, each doing quite brisk business

that have never been cultivated. In
deed, Louisiana alone has 100000
acres Of vacant land out of a total of
26,000,000, and it is estimated that not
more than one-eighth of the cotton
lands of the whole south is under cul-
tivation. In Louisiana there are more
than a hundred immigration societies
and in Maryland there are still more.
But neither these nor the similar or
CARNATIONS in other southern states
are looking for the Hungarians and
Russians now docking into the north
in superabundance. The south has
been calling for the good old Teutonic
and Celtic stock which settled the
country in it's first days-the English,
Irish, Welsh, Scotch and Germans, in
particular. Yet, climatically speaking,
the Italians are, of all of our immi-
grants, those best suited to the south,
and moreover they now constitute the
largest class of our immigrants. The
supply of these far exceeds the de-
mand, in the north. They have proved
to be successful farmers where they
have so far settled in the southern
cotton and sugar plantations. The
great numbering companies Of the
| south are also employing them and it
| is estimated that more than 100, 600
are working in the southern Missis-
sippi valley. They have begun to pur-
chase little farms, to build good homes
and to put money in the banks. They
are found to be prompt in paying
debts, and to have improved morally
as well as financially since arriving.
The younger of these Italians do not
wish to return to Italy, which desire
| disliied in America.
1t would seem as though the cream
of the old worlds peasantry is now
nearly skinned Off. Lately there has
been significant increase Of persons
who under the old law have had to be
passed by the immigration surgeons,
but who have been marked as poor

J that the subject has been understood
or poorly developed, has feeble heart

II is to keep these degenerates Out
that the law gives the examiners fan

NEW PASTEUR INSTITUTE.
Second Hospital Is Opened In India
 for Rabies.

Washington. August &.-Consul General W. H. Michael of Calcutta, sends the fol- lowing report on the opening in India of another institution for the cure of rabies:
 The Southern India Pasteur institute, located at Coonoor. was formally dedi- cated with appropriate ceremonies April 9. The building Is large and we'll ap- pointed. The accommodations in the sec- ond story are handsome, well lighted and ventilated. and furnished with reference to comfort and convenience. The library and laboratory are also on the second floor. On the lower floor are the doc tors rooms and office. the microscopic room. inoculation rooms for patients, in- ooulation room for rabd animals, and the sterilization room.
 This is the second institute of this char acter opened in India. The other Is lo- cated at Kasauli. in the Punjab, and has been open for patients for two years It is officially stated that there was an av- craze of 105 deaths each year from rabies in the Punjab before the Kasauli insti- tute was opened. Since then it has had over 300 patients, and all had been suc- cessfully treated who placed themselves under treatment promptly. The surgeon general stated that it was certainly known that there are 300 deaths annually in southern India from bites of rabld animals, and the governor who opened the institute at Coonoor declared that the number of deaths from rabies in southern India annually was much larger than that stated Besides receiving patients bitten by rabid animals the institute will undertake research work.

BUILDING WILL COST ABOUT S15c GOO, S1o,oO0 OF WHICH HAS AL READY BEEN RAIsED-sITE HAS BEEN SECURED.

Brewton, August 25.-(Special )-For some time the Masonic fraternity of Brewton has been considering the cree ton of suitable building for the use of their order and the other secret or ders of the town, and now their hopes are about to be realized. A suitable lot has been secured from the county on Parker avenue. in front of the Meth odst church, and 1t is proposed to erect on this lot three-story building to cost s15.Ooo. about s1O,000 of which amount has already been subscribed. It is expected the remaining amount will be forthcom- ing and work commenced at an early date. The building will likely be erected with cement stone blocks. If present plans are carried out the first story will be used as a reception and banquet hall The second story will be fitted up for the use of the various secret orders of the town and the third story will be de- voted to the use of the various branches of the Masonic fraternity. A building of this character has long been needed and if present plans are consummated. one will be put up that will meet all requirements for years to come, and be an ornament to the town.
 Work on the handsome new residence of ex-Mayor W. Y. Lovelace, on Bell vile avenue, is progressing, and the con- tractor hopes to have 1t completed by Christmas. This will no doubt be one of the finest residence buildings in any town the size of Brewton in the state, and will cost when finished, about s25,- coo.

Tobacco Monopoly Unsettled.

Washington August 25.-In reply to Kentucky inquiry. Consul General Hoff man Philip of Tangier, states that the Moorish government several months ago made public a formal tender for bids In the matter of the tobacco monopoly. Ow ing to the fact that this tender was not in strict conformity with the general acts of Algeciras, it was objected to by the representatives of foreign powers in Mo rocco and became void. Subsequently the restriction upon the general importation of tobacco by private firms was tempo rarily removed and the importation at present continues. The subject of the monopoly is still under discussion by tho foreign diplomatic representatives and Moorish commissioners at Tangier, and very great efforts are being made by in- dividuals of various nationalities to in- sure the purchase of the monopoly when the details concerning the formal tenders are finally arranged. which is probable at an early date.
