There are milk cures and mud cures
mountain cures and surf cures, but my
choice is the forest cure. Not only
does 1t best please my personal taste,

serious cases--those where radical
and heroic cures are needed First OF
all there are the tuberculosis patients
etrewn about on their cots under the
pungent shades of the Black forest as
about Or. Trudeau's camp in the Adj
rondacks. Then there are the de.
voices of indigestion and the nervous

PIONEER RESIDENT!
PASSES OVER DIVi[ {

Word was received In Phoebe last
Monday that Uncle" David Service
had died at the Soldiers Home
near Los Angeles and that he had
been buried on that day.
The deceased came to Nevada in
the sixties and was one Of the carly
recorders CT Nye county. During
the entire time that he resided in
Nevada he either made his home in
Nye or Lincoln counties; but In
late years has been at Hike, in
the Pahranagat valley, all the while
being engaged In either ranching or
mining.
During the war OF tho rebellion
he enlisted in Co. II. 10th Pensyl-
vania volunteers, and was promoted
from private to lieutenant by the
vote CT the members Of his company,
fact which ho always felt proud of.

health for number Of years and
arrived at the condition where his
mind became blank. His friends
thought it best to have him taken
to the Home" where he would re
ceive proper care and hence was re-
moved from Hike to that place last
March.
David Service was man who hat
no enemies, and such confidence was
reposed in him that whenever any

Taking Their Time.

1T seems to me-" said the man who
looked at his watch frequently, that
these pay-as-you-enter cars stop
longer to let off passengers than the
old.fashioned cars do. Am right?'
"You are" said the conductor, and
the reason is that people who wish TO
leave press the baton and then sit
still till the car stops, and we have to
wait till they walk the whole length
of the car. Under the old system they
couldn't be so independent. Before
they could catch the eye of the con
ductor most passengers not only had
to stand up, but to walk half way back
to the door. so by the time the car
stopped they were right there ready tc
step Off The new way may be more
convenient, but 1t eats up time"

Pittnlan Greeted By
Enthusiastic Audience

Saturday evening, the fifth inst,
the people of Phoebe had the pleas
ure of listening to the Hon. KY
Pittman, Democratic candidate for
United States senator, expound his
views upon the great political ques-
tons of the day. In spite of the
inclemency q the weather Mr.
Pittman was greeted with large
and enthusiastic audience. He was
introduced by Mr.. Chas. Lie Hor-
sey in few well chosen remarks.
Mr.. Pittman entered Immediately
into a discussion Of the tariff ques-
ton and by argument attempted to
show that because CT the existing
standard of tariff regulation, great
monopolies were fotsered, such
monopolios controlling the out
put OF many Of the necessaries of
life, with the consequent regulation
OF prices. He expressed the view
that conditions were radically wrong
when American manufacturers were
enablde to dispose of their products
abroad, at lower rate taan they
would sell at home, and cited this
as q refuattion Of tbs fact that a
reduction OF tariff rates would
demoralize big business; that on
the other hand it would not only
enable big business to continue,
but compel reduction In the high

Mr.. Pittman proved himself an en-
pertaining as well as forceful
speaker After the speaking a
