APPLES As MEDICINE

Economically the apple is composed
Of fiber, albumen, sugar, gum. malic
acid, gallic acid, lime and much wa
ter. thermore. the German anal
ysts say that the apple contains a
larger percentage of phosphorus than
any other fruit or vegetable, says a
physician. The phosphorus is admir-
ably adapted for renewing the essen
tial nervous matter, lecithin of the
brain and spinal cord.
For the people of sedentary habits,
whose livers are sluggish in action,
the acids of the apple serve to elm
mate from the body noXious matters
which, if retained, would make the
brain heavy and dull, or bring about
iaundice or skin eruptions and other
ence must have led to our custom of
taking apple sauce with roast pork,
rich goose and like dishes.
The malic acid of ripe apples, either
raw or cooked, will neutraliZe any eX-
cess of chalky matter engendered by
eating too much meat. 1t is also 4
fact that such fresh fruits as the ap-
pie, the pear and the plum, when taken
ripe and without sugar, diminish acid
ity in the stomach rather than pro-
juices are converted into alkaline car
Donates, which tend to counteract acid
ity.-Ranch and Range.

NOTES ON HEALTH

Eminent physicians say that the best
medicines in the world are rest,
warmth. pure air, pure water and
cleanliness. And the greatest of these
is rest-and cleanliness is not the least,
though last named.
When pain or disease assails the sys-
tenn of the dumb brute, it crawls away
from its fellows to effect the res,
cure" Man. the human animal, is less
wise and considers it a virtue to brave
or defy disease as long as a foot can
move or a finger wriggle.
When the system is run down by
overwork or long continued exertion,
the time is ripe and the field fertile
for many unpleasant ailments, such as
colds, etc, to gain a foOthold, if not
TEN. The idea of lying down to rest
in daytime seems impracticable to tn-
busy housewife and even though she
may occasionally in the too frequent
unventilated living room instead of in
a cool room with fresh air
1t is not the amount of food one
devours, but the amount he digests
which keeps him alive. Only small
portion of the great mass we eat ev-
ment. That it is best to eat sparingly
and lightly, better to come away from
a meal hungry than gorged, and bet
ter eat too little rather than too much
are hard lessons TO learn, but they
are worth learning if one prizes good
health.-Ranch and Range.

CHINESE ARE SWARMING
TO WEST MEXICAN COAST

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 3.-Advices re
were that 4S0 Chinese had just arrived
at that port and were being exam
ined by the quarantine officers. The
advice also added that $50 more Chi
nese Were en- route to Manzanillo from
China and were due TO arrive in a few
days.
This is said to be the greatest in
huX of aliens that has occurred on
the west coast of Mexico in some time
There is little doubt, say those who,
from past experience are in a position
to predict, that eventually a great ma
Jority of the aliens will attempt to get
into the United States. Following out
the usual procedure adopted by aliens
who land at Manzanillo, the Chinese
will presumably come to Mazatlan and
from that port take passage to En-
senada. From the Lower Californi;t
seaport they usually make their sor-
ties across the international boundary
while a few, aided by smugglers put
to sea in launches in an endeavor 20
escape the vigilance of the immigra-
tion officers.
Inspector Weddle and his small fore.
of immigration officers have been kept
unusually busy during the last two
weeks chasing Castro, the noted Mex
lean outlaw and murderer, and exam
ining Hindus and numerous other
aliens who apply daily for admission
to this country, besides patrolling the
border.
Luis Fernandez, commandant of En-.
senada, who was charged as an ac.
complice in the plan of Louie Fat, Q
notorious Chinese smuggler, to lane
Chinese into this country, has beer
relieved of his duties and retired tc
private life, according to reports whicl
reached here. NJ. Verdugo has sue
| ceeded him as captain of the port
Nothing has been heard of the launcI
| which was chased near San Clement,
| island by the immigration launch Ori
| ent Sunday. 1t is believed the boa

, scnada a few weeks ago

NO MORE ABSINTHE

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-An order pro-
hibiting the importation of absinthe
into this country has gone into effect
according to an ann nouncement at the
customs house, and the drinking OF
absinthe will cease in America as soon
as the present stock is exhausted. The
available supply, it is said, will not
last more than two months. Import
ers say there will be no attempt 10
fight or evade the law, as the volume
of business is not worth it. Customs
records show that about $4,000 cases
were brought in each year on which
the government collected $212,500 in
duties.
The department of agriculture holds
that any food or drug, the traffic In
which is restricted in the country OF
its manufacture, shall be refused en-
try into this country. Also that alb
sinthe contains drugs injurious to the
health of the people of the United
States"

THE VANISHED GRANDMOTHER

We have been robbed of our grand.
solete, writes Lille Hamilton Francl
in the October Century, discussing the
passing of "Old Ladies'" The it'll,
ones have been taught to say many
or darby" or ma a-mama"-anythin g
to avoid the discriminating phrase Per.
haps, if they had had a choice, they
would have revolted OF themselves, and
refused to apply the hallowed epithet
to those present day caricatures in
spanSled tulle, wearing on their heads
aigrets that at least a dozen mother
birds had been slaughtered to supply.
And then the talk of these women
all about how to keep young and thin
diet and breathing exercises, and the
best kind of treatment for the face,
l was once at a luncheon given by a
pretty woman who had two grandsons
who with her white hair and softly
colored cheeks bore no more resem-
blance to the traditional grandmother er
than a bepowdered French marquise
to medieval madonna. Beauty of a
captivating kind she still possessed, to
gether with a certain ineXtinguishable
charm that, since her early widowhood
had kept drawing to her endless new
detachments of beaus, rejuvenatine Q
factors, as we all know, in any wo-
mans life, and in hers, no doubt, the
main source of that perennial fresh
ness which so amazed us all.
These things endowed her in our
eyes with supreme auth ority, and com

taking over the system. On the mer-
its of this recommendation the Press
does not pass Judgment, for il is evil
dent the district has not yet reached
the point where it is ready to acquire
the property, and until then they GER
tainly are not ready to commit them
selves in any way.
In this connection il ought to be
said that while there is a question as
to which interest is to control the irri-
cation system until the people acquire
it, the fundamental facts exist that the
valley has the greatest and cheapest
water supply and the best of distribu
ton. These advantages are obtain ed
under perpetual contract which both
parties to the contest for control rec
ogniZe.
Imperial Valley press., 1912-10-03
OF THE SYSTEM

~ Considerable publicity is being
given to the controversy between the
Mexican and American receivers of
the California Development company
and the efforts of each to maintain
control, and in some cases an effort
is apparently being made to make con
siderable of a martyr of Colonel Hola
bird.
The Press is desirous OF being en-
tirely fair toward all parties in this
controversy, and has no disposition to
become a partisan in a matter which
is of little, if any, concern to the
farmers, as with them it is matter of
indifference Of which party to the con-
troversy they will buy their water.
In justice to Colonel Holabird, it
must be said that he has reduced the
affairs of the California Development
company to an economical admins
tration which has made extensive de
velopment possible, and for this the
people of the valley are greatly in
debted to him.
But aside from this, it appears to be
the purpose of the Southern Pacific
company, whom Depositario Andrade
represents. to get ont from under the
salt works judgment, before turning
the property over to the irrigation
district, if 4 deal . that end is to he
made. As this judgment amounts to
more than a half million dollars, and
the Southern Pacific has announced
its willingness 10 part with the prop
erty for the money it has invested, it
is apparent that the Southern Pacific
asking price will be much affected by
the question whether il has to pay the
judgment.
There is consequently some reason
for the people of this valley feeling
some sympathy for the interest Mr.
Andrade represents.
Because the Press sees these two
sides of a controversy which only re
motely affects the valley, it is loath
TO take any side in the controversy.
And there is special reason for this.
The issue is one which is in the courts.
and il is always the policy Of this
paper to refrain from trying in its
columns an issue which is being tried
in the courts. The issues are purely
legal, and in any event the farmers
of the valley will continue to get their
water supply from whoever is in con
troll under the terms of the perpetual
contract, unless the district takes over
the system, When the price 10 De pald
may in a considerable measure be
governed by the fact whether the
judgment has or has not been paid.
There is no person in this valley
who believes the salt works owners
are entitled to more than half mil
lion dollars damages, and as a matter
of fairness, whatever the law may
determine, there is no reason why the
judgment should be paid if il can
be legally avoided.
Colonel Holabird has recommended
that the judgment be compromised be
tween the people of the valley and the
salt works with a view to the people
