Short Breath.

| Respiration in health and under
normal conditions of rest or moderate
exercise Is an unconscious act, almost
as much so as digestion or the beat
ing Of the heart, but 1t Is very easily
disturbed, even in health, and in GER
tain diseases Its disturbance Is often
one Of the most distressing symptoms.
The short breath following violent ex-
ertion, such as running or hill-climb-
Ing, Is familiar to every one. 1t Is
due to the increased call for oxygena.
tion Of the blood and the temporary
Inability Of the heart to pump the
blood in sufficient volume through the
lungs.
When shortness Of breath Is brought
about by moderate exercise or mental
excitement, 1t is due to some abnormal
condition, such as anemia, obesity, a
weak heart or indigestion. This ten
dency is relieved by attention to the
weak point, whatever 1t may be, and a
judicious system of EXERCISES sort
| or mod1ted training.
Permanent shortness of breath, or
dyspnGa, as 1t is technically called,
is more serious affair. and is usu-
ally due to some actual disease. What
the disease Is of which this dyspnea
Is symptom can often be discovered
only by careful and thorough medi-
n 4f oil
the body.
1t Is often called asthma, and treat.
ed at home by inhaling the fumes of
burning inter paper or by some other
of the ordinary remedies. But asthma
is distinct disease, although its true
nature Is not yet definitely determined
1t occurs In paroxysms, usually at
night, In the intervals Of which the
breathing Is generally easy and quiet.
Permanent dyspnea Is another mat
ter, and is an indication Of something
wrong.
1t may be due to a great variety of
causes, only few of which can be
mentioned here.
Anemia, or poverty Of blood, may
give rise to permanent dyspnea, as
well as to shortness of breath on
exertion. The symptom is regular
accompaniment of diminished lung ca.
pacity. either through consolidation of
more or less of the lung tissue In tu.
berculosis or pneumonia, or through
compression Of the lungs by an accu.
mutation of fluid or air In the chest.
Anything that interferes with the
free action of the heart, such as weak.
ness Of the cardiac muscle or disease
Of the valves of the heart, pressure by
fatty deposits, an enlarged liver, or
gas In the stomach, will produce short
ness Of breath.
Short breath in children Is COM
monty the result Of obstruction in the
air passages. caused by enlarged ton
sils, the presence Of glandular tissue
In the pharynx, called adenoids, or a
swollen condition of the mucous mem
brane Of the larynx.
Persistent shortness OF breath is a
symptom that should not be neglected.

Catarrh

Whether it Is Of the nose, throat,
stomach, bowels, or more delicate or
gans, catarrh is always debilitating and
should have attention.
The discharge from the mucous
membrane is because this is kept in a
state of inflammation by an impure
condition of the blood. Therefore, to
cure, take the best blood purifier.

JUDGE DEFENDS PROBATION
AND GETS TESTIMONIAL S
Has "CIearng House" Party of Pa
rolled Prisoners, Who Tell of
How His System Helped
Them

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-MunicipaI Judge
Cleland, whose system of pardoning
prisoners for good behavior has aroused
the wrath of his fellow judges, last
night bade defiance to threats of trans
fer by holding a clearing house session
of his court.
Wife beaters, common drunks, men
who fail to support their families and
men arrested for other charges con-
sidered trivial, reported to him and told
how well they had kept their promises
to do better
One couple were married and promised
to Tive happy afterward." Two men
who had neglected to provide for their
families had paid their wives weekly
sums.
Although invited to attend the session
with the suggestion that they could
learn much of benefit" the municipal
judges appointed to look into Judge
Cleland's methods were not present.
They sent a note of regret, however,
and Judge Cleland chuckled as he read
it to those assembled.

The Dead

ne Dead
S. D. DOUGHITT, a veterinary.
PETER SYNOT, a teamster.
GEORGE K. NERR, a teamster.
JOHN WITWER, camp cook.
The four men were taken in the
cook house without warning, as thou
sands of tons Of rock and dirt swept
down the mountain side.
The shanty was directly in the path
OF the avalanche, and the men were
hurled into the canyon and their bodies
covered with snow. 1t will be nidsun-
mer before their bodies can be recov-
cred.
Caught in the steep mountain trails
by the blizzard which ragged all day are
eight six-horse teams and the Camp
Bird bullion stage carrying $4,000 and
many passengers.
1t is feared they may have been In
the path Of the slide, and great anxiety
is felt for their safety.
The avalanche which swept the men
to their death was fifty feet high. and
1t came sweeping down the mountain
side with irresistible force. The men
working in the mine fed for their lives.
but the shaft building was not In the
path of the slide. 1t was close enough.
however, to tremble as the avalanche
rushed by.
Dog Digs His Master Out
One of the heroes of the disaster is
large dog owned by Emil Johnson. a
teamster. Johnson saw the slide com
ing and made desperate effort to
drive out of the way. He was caught
and buried deep beneath the snow. The
dog had seen his master caught in the
avalanche, and rushing at the snow be-
gan to dig furiously. He kept at it
until he rescued the buried man. and
Johnson crawled out, none the worse
for his experience.
Bill Babcock, a teamster. saw the
slide coming and united one of his
horses and escaped on his back. the
slide missing him by only a few inches.
Dad" Austin, hero Of many wild
rides through the mountains and one
OF the best stage drivers in the west,
heard the slide when it started. He
was driving a siX-horSe stage filed
with people, and the horses were plung-
ing along at gallop when he recog-
nized the sound.
instantly he threw all his weight on
the brake and succeeded in stopping
the stage on the very edge of the ava
lanche. Two of the leading horses were
cut off by the mass of snow and debris
and carried down into the canyon hun
dreds of feet below.
The camp of the Asenfelder freight
gang was completely wiped out Forty
horses were carried into the canyon
and buried under tons of snow.
Another almost miraculous escape
was that Of Sam Moreye, one of the
freight teamsters. He reached the edge
of the avalanche, when his feet slipped
and he plunged into a snow bank. The
slide passed over him and he crawled
out in safety.
Still another teamster escaped IN
safety to the edge Of the slide only to
be dragged from his horse and the anil
NAL thrown to the ground by the force
OF the wind accompanying the ava
lanche. He was not injured.
