THE GOVERNMENT'S CARE OF OUR CONSUMPTIVE PATIENTS The improvement and cure of con sumptives at Fort Stanton have been effected by the treatment of the body of the patient not by the treatment of the disease. The medical profession does not admit that there has been discovered a specific remedy that will cure consumption. In the absence of such a remedy, the doctors at Fort Stanton call upon nature to aid the work of medicine. The whole gist ot the treatment Is: build up the general tone of the body to a point where the system, of Its own accord, will throw off the disease. To accomplish this, three things have been found to be of paramount Importance. They are: rest outdoor life, wholesome food. Consumption Is the most devastating to the system of all the diseases to which the human body Is heir. It not only eats up the lungs, but It reduces the vitality of Its victim to the lowest ebb. The most meager student of med ical science ought to realise that a body In which the vitality Is badly lm- panred should not be taxed further, but should be given absolute rest. In order that the remaining strength be permitted to fight the disease. The question of food for a consump tive Is even more simple than the ques- tlon of rest. He should receive plain, well-cooked, nutritious, tissue-bulldlng food the same food that Is given a prise-fighter training for a fight (for the consumptive Is training for a hard fight), or an athletic team preparing for a contest At Fort Stanton, it has been found that eggs and milk are ex ceedingly beneficial, and patients are given both In abundance. A herd of dairy cattle Is kept on the reservation, and Increased from time to time as the number of patients increases. A herd of range beef cattle has been built up and. in another year or two, will sup ply the sanatorium with beef. At pres ent, meats are bought on annual con tract. A large tract of land Is devoted to the raising of garden vegetables, al though the entire needs of the institu tion cannot as, yet be met in that re spect. "Outdoor life" probably means more at Fort Stanton than at any other san atorium In the country, because there the patients are out-of-doors, In the actual open air, practically all the time. About half the patients sleep In tents, thereby getting as much andj as pure a!r at night ns they would If they were actually out of doors, sleep ing on the ground, with the naked sturs above them. The remainder have beds In specially ventilated dormitories, which they are not permitted to occupy except when they are asleep. All pa tients are under the direct control of nurses who are required to keep their charges out of doors In the daytime, and the dormitory doors and windows wide open at night. One of the greatest advantages In the treatment of consumption at Fort Stanton is the climate. The sun shines on an average of 840 days per annum, and on nearly every one of those days It Is mild enough for the patients to sit out of doors. The winters are mild and the summers cool. The latitude Is (ISO feet, which, combined with the slight precipitation from 14 to 1? Inches, part of which Is snow produces an extremely dry atmosphere the year round. While the temperature on one or two occasions has gone over 90 In the summer, the heat Is never ener vating. There is Invariably a cool breese. It Is always comfortable In the shade, and at least one blanket Is necessary at night. All patients sleep well, and as steep Is a great tissue- builder the cool nights in summer are almost as beneficial as the clear days throughout the year, 1 In the wlrter the temperature at night Is almost In variably at freextng or a little below, but the days are almost universally mild.

Newman, In the American monthly Review of Re views for July. 1V1ISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES FOR SALE At Gaston's Feed and Sale Stable, one Colfax Roller Feed M lift one 20-hortspower Motor end Starter Boxj 80-foot 4-ply Rubber Belt) one pair Butohera' Wall Sealesi also 800 good Sacks. THE OLDEST LIVING THING. Said to Be a Huge Cypress Tree 6,260 Yesre Old. St Louis Globe-Democrat: "The statement recently made that there are yews In England which are the oldest living things on this earth," Mr. Thom as C. Ireland said, "Is not correct "These yews are old, very old; there Is no doubt about that; some of them were stalwart trees even before Caesar landed on these shores. There Is one now standing In the churchyard at Fortlngal, In Perthshire, which Decan dole, nearly a century ago. proved to the satisfaction of botanists to be over 25 centuries old, and another at Hed sor, In Buclas, which Is 3.240 years old. How Decandole arrived at an appar ently correct estimate of the enormous age of these living trees Is a simple thing, and the principle is doubtless well known today to all. The yew, like most other trees, adds one line, about the tenth of an Inch, to Its circumfer ence each year. He proved this after an Investigation extending over several years, and we know now, a hundred years later, that his deductions were correct. The old yew at Hedsor has a trunk 27 feet in diameter, , proving its great age, and it is in a flourish ing condition now, like Its brother at Fortlngal. "Their years are few, though, com pared with those of the trees I had in mind when I made my first assertion that the statement printed about them In a scientific Journal was Incorrect. In one chapter of his writings' Hum boldt refers to a gigantic boabab tree In central Africa as the 'oldest organic monument' in the world. This tree has a trunk 29 feet In diameter, and Adanson, by a series of careful meas urements demonstrated conclusively that It had lived for not less than 5,150 years. "Still it Is not the oldest organic monument in the world, as Humboldt declared, for now Mexican scientists have proved that a huge cypress tree, standing In Chepultepec, with a trunk 118 feet and 10 Inches in circumfer ence, is older than it older, too, by more than a thousand years for It has been shown, as conclusively as these things can be shown, that its age Is about 6,260. To become impressed with wonder over this, one has only to dwell on that duration for a little while In thought. "Yet It Is not so remarkable when one stops for a moment to remember that, given favorable conditions for Its growth and sustenance, the average tree will never die of old age Its death la merely an accident. Other younger and more vigorous trees may spring up near it, and perhaps rob Its roots of their nourishment; insects may kill It, floods or winds may sweep It away, or Its roots may come . in contact with rock and become so gnarled and twist ed, because they have not room to ex pand In their growth, that they liter ally throttle the avenues of Its sus tenance; but these are accidents. If such things do not happen a tree may live on for century after century, still robust, still flourishing, sheltering with Its wldespreadlng branches the men and women of age after age. A Story of Andrew Carnegie. The man who has given away over $62,000,000 In public benefactions, An drew Carnegie, Is evidently endowed with a humorous as well as phllan throplc bent. Here is a good little story that he recently told on him self: "I happened to spend a Sunday in a small town in Georgia," he says, "and as I had never attended a colored church I decided to attend the morn ing service at a colored church In that town. I sat In the last pew and when the plate was pnssed I placed a 150 note on It The old darkey who passed the plate looked at the note carefully and then marched down to the pulpit and called the minister to one side. He whispered to him excitedly, point ing now at the note and then at me. The minister took the plate and ad dressed the congregation as follows: "'Bre'ren, de Lawd hub been mighty good to us dls day. We hab one dollah and twenty-fo' cents In de c'lectlon an' if dat fifty dollah bill wha' dut old man wld de gray beard and ha'r put in de plate am a good bill we will hab fifty-one dollah an twenty-fo cents Bre'ren, let us t'ank de Lawd an ask him dat It may be a good bill.' I left the church before the prayer was fin Ished." 8ulcide Prevented. The startling announcement that a preventive of suicide had been discov ered will interest many. A run-down system, or despondency invariably pre cedes suicide and something has been found that will prevent that condition which makes suicide likely. At the first thought of self-destruction take Electric Bitters. It being a great tonic and nervine will strengthen the nerves and build up the system. It's also a great Stomach, Liver and Kidney reg ulator. Only 'soc. Satisfaction guar anteed by Chas. Rogers, druggist.' WASHING WITHOUT WATER Is Llk. Trrfag t Get Rid of Daadrv.4 With Herpidd.
