PHYSICIANS ADVOCATE
FEDERAL HEALTH BOARD

Chicago, Feb. 29.-Creation of fed
eral bureau of health, as provided in
Senator Owens senate bill No. /, was
supported by a conference of the
American Medical association on medi-
cal legislation at the Congress hotel.

was urged:
Public health and marine hospitals,
now under the treasury department.
Vital statistics, now in the census
department.
Bureau of chemistry (headed by
Dr. Wiley), now in the agricultural de-
partment.
Resolutions adopted just before ad-
journment of the conference pledged to
the Owen bill active support by the
physicians.
DR.. John B. Murphy of Chicago, pres
ident of the American Medical asso-
citation, asserted federal bureau of
health, with supervision over all health
subjects, offers the only logical con,

He predicted it's passage unchanged in
its material provisions, if the doctors
of the nation get actively behind it.

American Medical association. The
aim is to bring together annually or

From Forty-Five to Fifty Are M,

The @change of life " is a most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed TO apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. 1t
invigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds UP
the weakened nervous system.

Madame Schumann- Heink will sing in Phoenix on January S1 Now that the matter has been definitely settled. subscriptions are coming in rapidly as those who subscribe first will have first choice of seats. Madame Schumann- -Heint as she is officially known. though to plain everyday Americans who haven't a famous name to live up to and who think one cognomen sufficient. she would properly be called Mrs. Rapp, is the greatest contralto singer in the world. A spice of gossip is added to her ap- pearance from the fact that the tele- graphic dispatches of a week ago. heralded the fact that madame had just applied for divorce from Mir. Rapp. her youthful husband. whom she ayers. was not appreciative Of her children by a former marriage. What an excellent chance for the punster It is SD easy to remark that he did not care a rap for his step sons and they did not care d rap for Rlpp. and SD they constantly rapped each other. It must be as great a handicap for a man to have famous wife, unless he happens to be a somebody himself. as it k for a woman to have husband much younger than herself. and both of these contingencies are present in the Schumann- -IIeink- -Rapp case. Mrs. Catherine Hoffman will act as ac- companist at the concert The sale of seats for subscribers will be held T... n rH.. general public can secure seats at any time thereafter. Be a subscriber the advantage is obvious.

The writer recalls a day when she climbed a mountain rom whose sum init she was enabled to look back across d beautiful valley to a range on the opposite side. Situated mid way in the valley was q tiny village. giving touch of human interest to the scene. IL was so quiet there on the mountain. the blue haze covered the foothills miles away. softenine their rugged outline and giving them all the mystery and entertainment of distance. The air was pure upon that mountain top serene and high; there was not even the faintest echo of the squabbles. pickering and petty gossip of the villagers. IL all seemed so futile up there on the mountain. one wondered if it were possible to trans port the denizens of the hamlet to that spot. if they would not obtain d wider. clearer perspective of life and cease their senseless quarreling-

Have you ever been perfectly amazed at the manner in which two perfectly sane. ordinarily intelligent persons could differ on a simple, even trivial subject? Each one is honest in his own point of view but the oth- CT mans ideas are so opposed tO his own that they never occur to him un- iii they are carefully explained. The writer of this article, pleads guilty to holding such a discussion not long since and is even yet amazed that the other person couldn't see it from her stand point. while the party of the second part" is equally amazed that any one could look upon the sub ject from any perspective but his own.
 The fact that two persons who have many similar traits of character are capable of looking upon an insignifi- cant matter from such diametrically opposed standpoints, makes one feel that he should be extremely careful in judging the words or conduct of others. II is probably true that the other chap is doing what he be- lieveS to be best. His view may be narrow. it may be biased by unfor- tunate training or bad environment; he may be immoral or simply un- moral; his words or actions may be governed by selfishness or pride but whatever they are. they are bound to give him q point of view not quite like that of any of his neighbors and tc understand the motive behind his actions. one must necessarily look from his focus
 The civilized nations of the globe. believe. theoretically at least, that there was never but one being who was perfect in thought, word and ac- ton. whose point Of view was always right He saw mans short comings and was patient with them; he saw mans carnality and forgave his evil deeds: he taught forbearance. loving kindness and said judge not

MAY REVOKE LIQUOR LICENSE.
Result of Sunday Law Violation by
Saloon.

Information was recently filed
with c. E. Lane, state controller, at
Austin, charging violation of the
Sunday liquor law by Marine Nav
areti at San Benito, and in accord
ance with this information Mr.. Lane
appointed Geo. B. Falligan, notary
public at San Benito. to take desposi-
tions Of different parties there.
In accordance with this appoint
ment, dispositions of three parties
were taken at San Benito Saturday
before Notary Public Falligan. E.
X. Goodrich, county attorney inter-
rogated the witnesses in behalf of
the state.
The charges stated that Navareti
had sold liquor on Sunday, February
18th, and the testimony which was
developed verified the statement.
Upon the testimony taken, the
controller will make his decision as
to whether the state will be justi-
fed in revoking the retail malt
liquor license of Marino Navareti.
The law provides that, before a
liquor license can be granted the
dealer is to make a sworn promise
that he will not sell liquor between
the hours of midnight Saturday
night and 5 o'clock Monday morn
ing and this affidavit must be COM.
piled with under penalty OF having
the license revoked IL violated.
The dispositions taken were sent
to the controller Saturday.

STILL THE FREE RAW MATERIAL
FALLACY.

Having done their best to STAY
the sugar industry in the United
States, the House democrats now
propose to sacrifice the sheep indus
try by placing raw wool on the free
list. 1t seems they will never learn
that free raw material is Of no
benefit whatever ecept to the man
ufacturers, who, through the tariff
on the finished product is able to
sell at just that much greater profit,
on account of buying the raw mater
ial so much cheaper. Unless abso-
lutte free trade were possible-which
it apparently never will be so long
as the governmnt expends such
stupendous sums annually-it is
only fair that all home industries
should share equally in whatever
benefits may be incidental to a tariff,
in the way of protection from the
competition of cheap foreign labor.

A NUISANCE WHICH
SHOULD BE ABATED.

In The Herald of yesterday, ap-
peared a local news item TO the eff
feet that a number of boys were in
swimming at West brownsville lake
Friday afternoon.
Since the article appeared, sew.
eral complaints have been heard by
representatives of The Herald, re-
garding the people who have been
bathing in the lake, and who do ont
wear any bathing suits or anything
else but their birthday Clothes
while in the water.
1t seems that not only boys, but
grown men have been making a
practice of going in bathing in the
West Brownsville lake. The custom
appears to have become a nuisance
and the people in the neighborhood
are compelled to keep their children
at home, during such times. The
complaints from the residents of that
district are numerous. The authori-
ties should see that this nuisance is
abated.
