Good Blood Means good health, and Hood' Sarsaparllla has an unapproached record as a blood-purlfler. It effects its wonderful cures, not simply because it contains sarsaparilla but because it combines the utmost remedial values of more than 20 different ingredients. There is no real substitute for it. If urged to buy any preparation said to be 'Must as good,r you may be sure it is inferior, costs less to make, and yields the dealer a larger profit.

Manitoba became a province In 1870. Its population was 02.2GO in 1881, 152. 500 In 1SD1 and 255,211 in 1901. The value of Manitoba's harvest last year was a little short of $70,000,000. The census of 1906 gave Winnipeg, Its cap ital city, a population of 90,000. There Is nothing wild In a guess that Its pres ent population Is not far from 120,000. Servians In their good nature and love of humor are said to remind trav elers of the Irish peasantry. They are hospitable to strangers; their patriot ism Is vehement, almost quixotic, and they take great Interest In politics. Many of the domestics in the towns and cities come from abroad as the Servian girl Is too Independent for do mestic service. London ladies stimulated by the Olympic games of Inst summer have taken to the foils, and fencing is now the fashion. Indeed, an official of the Sword Club holds that fencing is like ly to have an even wider vogue among women than among men. Many women prominent in the social world are act ively Interesting themselves In the foils, and there seems every likelihood that something approaching a craze may be started In the fencing world during the coming season. Boston women established the first playground In 1902. Last year there were eight, and nearly ?2,000 was ex pended, or about $1 for each child, a very cheap price for the amount of good obtained. The Playground League Is the name of the society of the play ground boys themselves, who wear buttons, and discipline all bad boys, thus making the government easy enough for those in charge. Not the least Important result of the play grounds In that city Is said to be that Involved In the self-government. In the year 1C94 William Patterson, founder of the Bank of Scotland, con ceived the grand project of planting on the Isthmus of Darlen a British colony which. In his own words, "should se cure for Great Britain the keys of the universe, enabling their possessors to give laws to both oceans and to become the arbiters of the commercial world." This colony was actually founded at a place still known as Puerto Eseooes. but lis people were subsequently forced by the Spaniards to evacuate and re turn to Scotland. A suggestion that shoe repairing, or cobbling be made a part of the manual training activities in the ungraded schools and In the ra rental School of Baltimore has been made to the au thorities, but the Sun of that city sees no merit In the scheme. It says: "That class of boys who would profit by learning the trade have, as a rule, only a few years to devote to school, and those few years had best be de voted to learning how to read, write and cipher, with such other practical and necessary elementary studies as their time will permit."

"Naturalists who recently visited tb Mojave desert In Arizona say that there hus been an increase in the num ber of glla monsters in that region," said Dr. A. B. Cedron of Prescott, Ariz., according to the Washington Post. "These lizards are of great interest to naturalists, for In spite of investiga tions, authorities still differ as to whether the bite of a glla monster Is fatally poisonous. I have had several instances come under my observation when men have been bitten by glla monsters, but none ever died. In the case of a glla monster biting a guinea pig, however, the poison was fatal a few minutes after the guinea pig had been bitten. The natives of the South west, particularly the Indians of Mex ico, sincerely believe that the bite of a glla is fatal to a human being and the lizard is held in much awe by them. "It is likely, however, that this fear Is occasioned largely by the repulsive appearance of the reptile. The head is very prominent, comprising about one fifth of the total length of the body and, like the back, is thickly covered with yellow and black tinted tubercles. Its skin Is very tough, and, although the bones of the tail are fragile, this part of the reptile is very strong, it being possible for the monster to raise Itself and balance the body on the tip of the tail, thus enabling it to climb rocks and steep ascents, ihere is no doubt that the teeth lead to glands con taining poison. It is very slow in its movements, but it is not timid like other reptiles. If one attempts to trlke the glla with a stick it will grasp the weapon in its jaws like a dog does, and when angered it emits its breath in a succession of quick gasps. It is supiwsed that the breath of the gila has a drug-like effect on in sects, and as it can be detected at a considerable distance, It is believed that this is the way It catches Its food." Legal Information In Cunningham vs. Castle, 111 New York Suiiplenient, 1057, plaintiff was Injured by an automobile which the chauffeur had been granted permission to use for his own pleasure by the own er. Plaintiff recovered judgment in the lower court, but on appeal the New York Supreme Court reversed it, on the ground that the chauffeur was not engaged In any business of defendant at the time of the injury, and that the permission to use the machine made no difference as to defendant's liability. The Alabama statutes of 1907 regu lating freight and passenger rates on intrastate business were declared in valid as denying due process of law by the United States Circuit Court, in Central of Georgia Railway Company vs. Railroad Commission of Alabama, 1C1 Federal Reporter, 925. The pro ceedings were to enjoin the State offi cers from enforcing these statutes. The defense was that this was an action against the State, and beyond the jur isdiction of the Federal courts. The court held otherwise. riaintiff and her brother were the only heirs under their mother's will, which gave the brother practically ev erything. Plaintiff thereupon entered into an ngreeinent by which she was to receive one-third the estate for not con testing the will. The will having been duly probated without contest, the brother tried to escape the compromise agreement. In Blount vs. Dillaway, 85 Northeastern Reporter, 477. the Su preme Judicial Court of Massachusetts held that, although a will contestant had a statutory standing in the probate court to enforce compromise agree ments, it did not prevent equity taking jurisdiction under these circumstances and granting specific performance against the executor. The Wisconsin tenement house act which provided that every tenement house must have courts of certain di mensions, and must be equipped with the ordinary modern improvements as to water supply common to cities hav ing public water and sewer systems, and that any person violating the pro visions should be subject to fine or im prisonment, was declared unconstitu tional In Bonnett vs. Vallicr. 11(5 Northwestern Reporter. SS5. The Wis consin Supreme Court held that the statute was such that an ordinary per son would relinquish his right to use his real estate for tenement houses rather than take the chances of vio lating the statute, and that the effect of enforcing the penalties would be to take property without due process of !aw.

We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen ! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever. mi WW Krai ALCOHOL 3 PRI f'l'K'T Age(able Prcpara! tonforAs similaiingtlieFoocfanilRegula ting (lie Siomachs andBowclsof P2 tm.

Water Supply in Many Cases Found Unnecessarily Polluted. E. F. Pernot, Oretron Agricultural College, Corvallis. The condition in which I find water received from various parts of the state warrants my calling the attention of the public to the unsanitary conditions which must exist surrounding their water supply. Some samples of water taken in storile bottles under asceptic precautions, contain as high as 63,580 germs per cubic centimeter (a teaspoon holds about five cubic centimeters of water and an ordinary drinking glass about 225 cubic centimeters). A glass ful of such water would therefore con tain 14,305,500 living germs. While it is true that many varieties of these germs are not directly disease produc ing, the continued introduction of such large quantities cf them into the sys tem lowers vitality and increases sus ceptibility to the disease producing types when they gain access to the body. Water containing so many or ganisms carries also, in solution, the ptomaines from the putrefaction of the organic matter in which they grew. These large number of organisms gen erally find their way into open wells by surface drainage and where they can pass, so may the disease producing types pass also. The waters from driven wells are comparatively free from organisms. An open well is an abomination and is not in keeping with our present under standing of the laws of sanitation. The question arises, how can we bet ter our condition. Where a well is the only means of obtaining water, let it be dug to the water bearing stratum) wall it up with brick laid in cement for ten feet, arch it over with the pump pipe and arch well cemented in, fill the remainder of the hole, which may be 15 to 20 feet, with clay well tramped down and the result will be a bottomless brick jug, deep under ground, into which no surface water, worms nor animals can penetrate. The water from such a well is as pure as can be obtained from the locality in which it is situated. There are many families living in the country who should enjoy the best of health, but who are always ailing. The cause of ill health may, as a rule, be traced to their use of polluted water produced by the unsanitary condition of their surroundings. But few homes have proper drainage from sinks and baths, dish water is thrown out of the osck door on the ground near the well, garbage is similarly disposed of to de compose and drain into the well. Wash water containing filth that would not be tolerated on the clothing is also emptied on the ground to drain into the well. Most of the open wells situ ated near the house or bam are but semtmi 1 :i ' ri 1 . ti 1 ' " "1 Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas. II. Fletcher. Dr. A. F. Peeler, of St Louis, Mo., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria in many cases and have always found it an efficient and speedy remedy." Dr. B. Down, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "I have prescribed your Cas toria in my practice for many years with great satisfaction to myself and benefit to my patients." Dr. Edward Parrish, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Cas toria in my own household with good results, and have advised several patients to use it for it3 mild laxative effect and freedom from harm." Dr. J. B. Elliott, of New York City, says: "Having during the past six years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most heartily commend its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children." Dr. C. G. Spracue, of Omaha, Neb., Eays: 'Tour Castoria is an ideal medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advo cate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria Is an exception for conditions which arise in the care of children." Dr. J. A. Parker, cf Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria. holds the esteem of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprie tary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for Infants and chil dren. In fact, it Is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments." Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: "Castoria is one of the very finest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I caa furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency and merits." Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last twelve years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best preparations of the kind, being safe in the hands of parents and very ef fective in relieving children's disorders, while the ease with which such, a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage."

It is the lowest point in its vicinity into which liquid's drain. Frequently a privy is located within a stone's throw of an open well. When the water table rises to the surface of the ground, as it always does during the winter in Western Oregon, all sur face water is contaminated, and, as the water level lowers, the open wells be come reservoirs for the drainage. The ordinary stone or brick wall of an open well only serves the purpose of preventing the caving in of the earth and in no sense acts as a filter. We have received samples of water from open wells, situated near barn yards or dwellings, which were loaded with organisms that are instrumental in decomposing manure. The samples gave strong reactions of ammonia by chemical analysis and were even tinted with the color of liauid manure. One particular sample was thus polluted from a flower bed near the nouse, ine flower bed having been heavily ma nured. In localities where water is piped in to the house and there is no sewer, the toilets should be connected with a prop erly constructed septic tank and the effluent should be piped a long distance from the well and empty on the surface of the ground, where sun and air may still further purify it. If an open clos et must be used, a concrete vault, well cemented, should be constructed, in stead of a mere hole in the ground, and lime frequently thrown into it to pre vent the breeding of flies. Earth clos ets have been very successful and con sist of galvanized iron trays or tubs that may be emptied away from tne premises; dry earth or ashes should be used in connection with them to absorb moisture and suppress odor. It is well known that flies breed in human and animal manure; for exam ple, the deposits of human excreta are often seen to be a crawling mass of maggots, these are the larvae hatched nn JUL!

These flies enter ourjiwellings, walk upon our food and directly transmit the organisms from excreta to our food. Contanimation does not cease at that, for we have definitely proven that the organisms which the flies take into their bodies from the excreta are not destroyed by their digestion, and passing from their bodies with the excreta the germs util ize this excreta for food and multiply. Therefore a fly speck containing fifty germs will increase its numbers fifty fold. If perchance the organism happens to be the typhoid bacillus, a fly speck upon an apple, or other food, will eventually contain thousands of germs. Thin have conclusivelv demon strated by hatching flies in a sterile box, then feeding them with bread or sugar saturated with cultures of the typhoid bacilli, then allowing them to excrete upon apples, cabbage leaves, other material that gives off moisture. The fly speck, after some time, as sumes the form of a colony and is found to be loaded with living typhoid bacilli, showing that they had passed through the rly uninjured and had mul tiplied abundantly in the fly's deposit. It is well known that milk is an ideal food for typhoid bacilli, and for that reason should be well guarded from the invasion of flies.
