{ Some very remarkable results are being obtained by treating stomach, liver and intestinal troubles with pure vegetable oils, which exert a cleansing. soothing and purifying action upon the lower bowels, removing the obstructions of poisonous fecal matter and gases and preventing their absorption by the blood.

{ A low state of the general health is now, the accepted cause of backward ness in children. So in the case of a backward child it is best to look towards building upiits health. It will usually be found that the main trouble Is in the food, in lack of assimilation and digestion. Hence care should be taken in the kind of food given to the child. This, with plenty of air and exercise, should bring about a. change tor the better.

Washington, May 15.-White coal is the term now quite generally applied to the sources of supply of electric power The significance of the ioea is plainly evident when it is considered that in nature a fall of water can De in most cases utilized for the produc- tion of electricity.
 An estimate has recently been com pleted of the amount of electric energy immediately available in the neighborhood of Caracas, Venezuela, and a,statement regarding it has just been serl& to the Pan-American Union,

 In addition to this water fpply ai- ready enumerated there is rgbre power av ailable still further awa.yfrom Cara cas but within trustworthy transmis- sion distance.

the director general of which furnishes the following resume:
 Horse Power Available.
 Caracas consumes at the present moment on an average of 1900 horse power of electricity during the day and 2,O0O horse power during the night. There is in reserve about double this quantity, so that Caracas can count upon 4,000 horse power as already available. But, according to the estimate above mentioned. this is power within easy reach ofs the city,
 s Only a few miles outside of the city are waterfalls, El Encantado, with I 200 horse power; Los Naranjos, with 1900 horse power: Iira, with 75O horse power, and Mamo, with 4,800 horse power already equipped with ap- paratus but not to the fullest capacity. Then other falls or swift streams not quite so near Caracas, but within easy transmission distance, have been de- rnonstrated to have a capacity of at least 300 horse power, which added to the above supply will allow the city when there is need for it at least 30, 900 horse power.
 Electric Supply Ample.
 As Caracas is a capital with a popu- lation of 75,0O0. it will be seen that its electric supply is ample for all it's immediate needs. Within the last few years these requirements of the
