Sanitary Conditions Good.

as nearly perfect as can be. did not

THE independence Of the San Bias In
dams. tribe living In the neighborhood
OF the zone and In the territory Of Colom-
bia, Is interesting. The Indians detest
the whites and will NOT permit a white
man to come into their country. An cpl
demic OF influenza broke out among the
Indians not long ago, and Col. William

OF the Sickness among them, went to give
assistance. They received him kindly
enough when they heard the nature OF his

sides Of tho slides assume such shape
that they become stable There will be
more slides. I have no doubt, but even
tually the trouble will end. Tho dry sea-
son was still on when l was there. and
when the rainy season begins IL Is likely
the earth will slide still more. The move
ment Of the slides is like the fiow Of a
glacier, but the dirt is handled easily
and the trouble remedied in an incredibly
short time. The magnitude Of the digging
done in the gone can be judged when 1t is
known that In the last month 1000. 600

There has been inaugurated in the di-

teams CT three men each and the
schedule which has been adopted calls
for two games for each club each week:
rural mails. George G. Thomson, con-
ceived the idea Of forming this league
for the pCl1ose of providing a means
of social intAcourse among the clerks
In the division.
Great rivalry already exists among the
several teams, representing as they do
different sections of the division, and
each night finds a large gallery present
roofing for their respective teams. 1t
Is thought that ere long there will be
other leagues formed throughout the de-
partment and that next spring will see
contest between the leaders of the
several leagues. 1t Is the intention to
present medals to each member Of the
winning team of the Rural Mails
League and suitable prize to the
player having the highest average for
the teams. 1t Is also the intention to

"A CERTAIN CURE
FOR CATARRH

The mucous membranes of the
nose and throat are exposed to the.

exciting causes, the inflammation
and discharge being really produced
by an impure and vitiated condition
OF the blood. It is we'll enough ts

There can be no inflammation of thu
