KEEP THE WINDOWS OPEN
Chicago Evening Post. }

| In discussion of Tuberculosis, its
prevention and its cure, a physician
writing in the Saturday evening Post,
makes this statement:
''If the whole civilized community
could be placed upon moderate form
| of the open-air treatment it would be
so vastly improved in health, vigor
and efficiency, and saved the expendi-
ture OF such enormous sums upon
hospitals, poor relief and sick benefits,
that it would be we'll worth all that
it would roSt, even if there were no
such disease as tuberculosis on earth "
The statement impresses as partic-
ularly tim'l ly, coming, as It does, Just

The night air is the only air we

The windows should be left open at

NEURALGIA

The real meaning of the word Neu-
ralgia is nerve-pain, and any one who
has suffered with the malady will not
be SO anxious to know of its nature
as to hear of its sntidote. Though
scarcely recognized by the profession
and people half century ago, it is
now one of the most common and pain
full ailments which afiiict humanity
AS now generally understood the word
signifies an affection of the nervous
system, with pain in the course of the
principal nerves.
The two great causes of Neuralgia
are, lmpoverishment of the Blood
and Deficiency of Nerve Force; and
the treatment of 1t is not so obscure
as many would be led to suppose. The
first thing is to relieve the pain,
which is done more quickly and salts
factorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than by
any other remedy known; the second
object is to remove the cause, which
is accomplished by the abundant use
OF nourishing food, Of nature to
strengthen and give tone to both the
muscular and nervous systems.

Great Wealth in Potatoes.

Greeley.-Ernest Bliss, one OF five
brothers, all successful farmers in
Pleasant valley, who was one of the
lecturers on the potato special sent out
under the auspices Of the State Agri-
cultural College to the southwestern
part of the state. says the institute
work on :he trip was most satisfactory.
In some respects" said ne, 1.-The Rio
Grande district has advantages over
the Greeley section for potato raising,
as it's soil is better adapted TO growing
potatoes. but that district must con-
tend with high freight rates and pos
sible early floods, which interfere with
the maturity of the crop"
He believes that within a few years
Colorado will be known as great po,
tato producing state. The growing OF
potatoes generally in Colorado will
mean competition for the Greeley po-
tato, but it will be mony years before
any section can rival this. where
methods of cultivation lead all others.
The San Luis valley has 100000 acres
which. when brought under cultivation,
will make a great potato producing
center.
Local farmers are now receiving 80
cents . hundred for their potatoes.

GILLETTE ELEcTRocUTED.
Young Murderer Of Grace Brown Con-
fesses His Guilt.

Auburn, N. Y.-Unmoved and with.
out showing the faintest sign OF emo
ton OF any kind, Chester Gillette, the
murderer of Grace Brown, was put to
death In Auburn prison Monday morn
ing.
He appeared to have been fully rec
onciled to his fate, and in statement
given out by his spiritual advisers i'm
mediately after the execution, it is in
d1cated that he made confession of
his guilt.
Sunday night Gillette gave the war
den statement for publication, say
Ing he had experienced religion and
advlEing all young men to become
Christians.
His mother says 1t was hard for her
to feel that he was guilty CT murder,
but she is glad he confessed.
The statement as to Gillette's con-
fession was signed by Rev. Henry Nc
Ilravy of Little Falls and the Rev. Cor
dello Herrick, the prison chaplain, who
attended Gillette since he has been in
the death cell at the prison. 1t was
as follows:
Because our relationship with Ches-
ter Gillette was privileged, we do not
deem it wise to make detailed state
ment, and simply wish to say that no
legal mistake was made in his electro
cution."
The crime for which Chester E.
Gillettee forfeited his life was the MUIR
der Of his sweetheart, Grace Brown,
near Big Moose in the Adirondacks,
July II, 1906. Gillette was convicted
on circumstantial evidence after SEN
sational trial in which the pathetic
1att Il,,pD In
girl was familiarly known among her
associates, to Gillette, played an i'm
portant part.
The girl who perished in the waters
Of Big Moose lake had trusted Gillette
done her, by making her his wife.
Grace Brown was a farmers daugh-
ter from South Otselic. who worked in
tho same factory with Gillette. July
8, 1906, she went from her home to De
Ruyter, joined Gillette, and they trav-
eled rs man and wife to Utica, to Tup-
per lake and then to Big Moose, where
he took the girl out on the lake and
drowned her.
Late that night Gillette appeared at
Eagle Bag. twelve miles from Big
Moose. He had walked through the
woods. The next day he went on an
excursion with young women from
Cortland whom he had promised to
meet there.
Alarm was felt in Big Moose over
the failure of Gillette to return with
the boat he had rented and search was
made the next day. The boat was
found floating bottom up near shore in
a secluded part of the lake, with a
woman's wrap spread over the bottom.
The lake was dragged and the body OF
Grace Brown was found. Gillette was
arrested at Eagle Bay, July 14th.
