According to the latest report Of tn.

acres, situated in what arc commonly
known as public land states. About
one-quarter of these lands have been

In order, then. to Induce entries on
the remaining lands. congress recently
passed law providing that certain
restrictions on these entries in the
way of cultivation, residence, etc, be
moderated so that settlers would find
it less difficult to live up to the speci.
fications set forth in homestead laws.
One of the most attractive features Of
the new law is the three-Tear resi-
dence clause This provides that in
order to entitle person to patent
upon a homestead it must be showtl
that he has resided on the farm for

nually in the District. The system
was started in 1910, when an initial
appropriation Of $3.50 was granted for
that purpose. The present sewerage
system has so far cost S12,0O0,0O0
and the annual expenditure for sew
erage runs about s350,000. and the
annual increase in mileage is about
% miles. To get rid of mosquito
breeding, all of the catch basins, of
which there are about 5000. are
thoroughly flushed biweekly, and then
dosed with mosquito oil during the
season 1t is estimated that the av-
erage cost for this treatment is about
six cents a basin. In the hot dry sea
son these basins, uncared for in other
cities. hold water and offer breeding
places for bugs, mosquitoes and other
insects. Washington can we'll feel
proud of the splendid reputation for
her sewerage system given by these
eminent scientists.

DREADED ATAXIA
What Active Treatment With
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills
Accomplished in a
Recent Case.
Recent Case.

Mr.. Francis NJ. Poole, harness make
er, OF Garvin, Lyon Co., Mimi, says:
''My illness started in 1902, with
sharp pains all through my limbs. At
first thought it was rheumatism but
the pains kept getting more and more
severe and / grew steadily worse. Later
numbness came over my feet. It
gradually extended up my legs to my
spine and waist. By this time / had
lost all control of my legs. Next my
bladder and bowels were affected and /
lost all control of them. At this stage
OF the disease was perfectly helpless
and from November, 1905, to April,
1905, l was confined to the bed. My
memory was so affected that ! thought
l would lose my mind. Hooked just
like dead person. My lips and finger
nails were blue. I suffered with ter
rible sharp, shooting pains and could
get relief only from the use of morphine.
Il was treated by five St. Paul doc
tors. ALI Of them pronounced my case
locomotor ataxia. One said / could
not live 9 year and another told my
wife all he could do for me was to give
medicine to relieve the pain. I was
discouraged and, when my brother-in-
law urged me to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, did so willingly
for he had read of their curing a case
similar to mine. I started to take the
pills in March, 1905, while / was still
confined to bed. / took several boxes
when / felt slight change for the bet
ter and had a healthier look. / was
finally able to 60 to the country but
kept on with the treatment. The
blush color left my lips and my eyes
became brighter. took the pills
long time and the next spring in May I
could walk around. In June / went to
work although still weak. I kept on
gaining and am now working without
the return of symptom of my former
trouble and without losing a days
work. DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People absolutely cured me and I
want all fellow sufferers to know of my
wonderful recovery"

ment which cured this case should have

field play of their weaker opponents.
Yost is enthusiastic over the elm
ination of the onside kick, since the
success Of this play was at all times
dependent upon chance, as no kicker;
no matter how expert he be, could
ever hope to control the direction in
which the ball bounded The policy OF
booting the ball up and down the field,
hoping for some misplay by the OPP
posing backs, which might result in
advantage to the kicking side, will re-
ceive a death blow under the new
style Of play.
Yost scouts the fear that some
have that the new rules will cause q
return to the old pushing. smashing
game, since when the ball is put in
play there must be seven players on
the scrimmage line, and a runner shall
not be entitled to any assistance by
his teammates.
On the whole, so Yost thinks, Nc
public will be far more interested in
the new play than in that of 1911, for
the game will be faster, as free from
accidents as it is possible to make
the game and luck, 1luke plays and
the like will give place to science, YER
