 Windhoek has healthy climate, very warm at midday, with low tenn perature at night and morning. Ty- phoid used to be prevalent. and one must be sure that the water has been boiled-even then 1t has a brackish taste. The natives have always dis liked the Germans, refusing to speak their language. This is probably due to the way in which the Germans new to the role of colonists-have at tempted to bend the wills of the na- lives to their own wishes.

 tai Of German Southwest Al rica, over which General Botha has hoisted the Union Jack, writes Char lotte Cameron in the Sphere. It lies some 390 kilometers from Swakop- mund. The express train used to run twice week. conducting one to Wind hoek in thirteen hours; if you failed to catch the special the journey re- quired thirtysix. The line is a mar row gauge track, with uncomfortable, overerowded carriages For eighty miles you proceed across an arid des- ert of blinding sunshine and monOt- onous sands, broken here and there by tiny huts. where the government dynamite stores are kept.
 You can tell it is a thirsty country. for miles on each side of the lire there is track of broken bottles mixed with the dry bleached bones of cattle, which in many cases have died from want of water during their long march to the sea. Queer ghostlike plants of neutral colors belonging to the cacti family strive to exist in this arid country, the sea fogs providing them with their sole moisture Vil- lages are passed. each with a small colony of "Pontoeks, where the Hot tentots dwell, these consisting of bent reeds, sometimes held together with clay, on which are tackled odd raiment, and occasionally sheets of corrugated iron.
 Many Hereros gather at the station to watch the mail train; these were the aristocrats of the natives, and owned the land before the Germans took possession. They had Kaffirs as vassals, and in 1908 began war with the Germans which cost many thou sands of lives. The Hereros poisoned every stream as the enemy advanced into this hot, parched country. At Windhoek on January 13, 1904, with their "kirris" (a .heavy-headed stick) the Hereros murdered PA farmers, and as a punishment they were never again allowed to own land.

To acquire good farm in this re- zion it is estimated that a colonist should have at least e5,O00. He must buy stock and build a home and out houses; agricultural machinery at this great distance is expensive, and with few years with wear and rust needs renewal There may be drought Crops perish, and the farmer after his heavy outlay is ruined, often resorting to mortgaging, and becomes the yic- tim of money-lenders. These huge farms are filled with the undesirable sons of rich men who are not welcome in the fatherfand, and are somewhat akin to the remittance men of Aus tralia.
 What Windhoek Is Like.
 Windhoek, according to the natives, means Mount of the Winds and to this chosen spot for centuries jour neyed the Hereros, Bastards, Hotten- tots, 0vambos, Bushmen and Kafirs fer their great palavers. Windhoek is prettily situated on a high plateau surrounded by wreaths of small noun tains, which afford a beautiful view at sunset. Ill peace days the army con- prised 2600 regular soldiers and 2,006 reserves. The houses are small mod ern structures of brick and stuceo, with brilliant red roofs; new rail way station is the largest editice. There is an imposing church, post of flee and an enormous government building in construction, which the of fieers nieknamed "The Ink Palace"

Ell Paso, Tex, Jan. 5.-While his
physician said Gen. Huerta's recov-
cry from cancer of gall bladder and
hardening of the liver was doubtful,
dept of justice agents today resumed
their watch of ex-Mexican dictator's
house.
They suspected Huerta's illness
was ruse to Offset court proceed
ings at San Antonio, where federal
grand jury was considering charges
of conspiracy to violate neutrality
law, pending against the general.
A mysterious automobile loaded
with Mexicans who were rushed to
railroad station last night led to: a

formed when they called at the
house that Huerta's condition did not
permit his being interviewed and
they were not allowed to enter.

YOU CAN HELP TO KILL 1T
Sickness continues to travel over
the country, carrying a grip with it.
This grip is on, and in the general
public to stage that is right seri-
Gus. Government reports loom the
situation up as startling. Folks who
will not be warned will fall right in
line and take to a sick bed eff they
don't watch out" Those who will be
warned will probably dodge the cpl
demic and help bring the run of grip
to a sudden close. Washington's re-
rort shows the following:
Philadelphia-14 deaths from in
fluenza in five weeks; Y deaths last
week. Pneumonia cases, 881, with
284 deaths last week.
Memphis-7,000 to 5000 cases of
grip.
Cleveland-1O0,O 900 cases of grip;
much pneumonia.
New York - Marked increase of
pneumonia and in death rate of per-
sons over IS years. Health depart
ment has sent out warnings.
Detroit 900 case Of grip; hos
pitfalls overcrowded.
Chicago-666 deaths from pneu-
monia in December, with total num-
Der of reported cases ], 440.
And that only takes in six of the
cities.
If you must cough out in public,
cough in your handkerchief: if you
must sneeze, do it up your sleeve;
anything to play safe and not spread
or take grip.
The situation has become so seri-
GUS that kissing and even laughing
right out in the open has almost got
to be tabooed.

safe! 49, go. ~

For R. E. D. Carriers.

A high compliment was paid to the all-around utility and slight cost of operating the motorcycle with side car attachment recently. when Post. master General Burleson so modified his recent order affecting the use of the motor vehicle by R. F. D. men to include the motorcycle with side van. With a vehicle of this sort, 1t is pointed out. the R. F D. men can get around equally as well as with an automobile and at less than one-third of the cost. At the same time the vehicle Is handy to store. is acces- sible, simple. and has the capacity to deliver the requisite amount Of mail matter
 Already the post office department is asking for bids on motorcycles fit. ted with suitable side vans for R. F. D. work, and it is not at all unlikely that the versatile motorcycle will be now used by the R. F. D. men to . greater extent than heretofore.
