í FORT SUMNER REVIEW FORT SUMNER NHW MEXICO Turkey merely wants it understood that it can thrash Greece If necessary. Boston plans a pension bank for old maids. Here la another knock at mat rimony. What will a future civilization think when It digs' up the bones of a monoplane? Why will beautiful women run fat persons' races before the camera at every picnic? It will not be necessary to enlarge the ocean just yet to make room for all the aeroplanes that fall in. New York is stili sending joy riders to prison, just as If it were tired of that form of alleged amusement. This is a poor year for the sea ser pent At the summer resorts the night-flying airship has crowded It out. A Philadelphia man who was going to commit suicide died of heart dis ease. He probably was scared to death. Notwithstanding the Buccess of the aeronauts there are still many people who prefer to keep their feet on solid ground. Saving the children of the poor from disease and death is a profitable and economic, as well as humanitar ian, undertaking. It is written in the clouds that we shall yet see daring circus aviators looping loops In the air and turning upside down, far above the earth. To show how far the science of fly ing has not progressed It is worthy of mention that aviators go to the con tests by train with their wings stowed in the baggage car. That girl whose doting father has given her a balloon knows a better way of looking down on other people than the one adopted by the girl who marries a rickety nobleman. China and Japan are glaring at each other again, Turkey declines to let the powers run the Cretan affair, and the dove of peace is flying recklessly about looking for a safe perch until the next international peace congress. í The deposed monarch of Persia de ." clines to quit his job until he is paid his back salary. He neglected to take time by the forelock and lay In some thing for a rainy day, as did the ex sultan. ' A Vancouver magistrate fined him self for violation of the speed lawB. So the Roman sense of duty has not perished, but gives occasional faint flickers in these degenerate latter days. The rules of society are somewhat relaxed during the summer season, so that a dry goods clerk will find noth ing to prevent him from masquerad ing as a prince if he has the clothes to do it on. Medical inspection in the English schools shows a physical degeneracy among children which Is alarming the country. England would not be, easy In Its mind If it were not alarmed over something. England's national nervousness finds new expression. Every time there Is a scare of any kind they go to work over there to build more Oread noughts. If they keep on they will soon be monopolizing ocean room. According to Greek opinion, the Turk is "still dreaming of the hour when Greece, her knee in suppllance bent, will tremble at his power." The Turk, however, has troubles of his own at present, too lively to permit of his doing much in the way of dreaming. The chief mine inspector of Penn sylvanla declares officially that id his opinion few of the accidents in the an thracite mines last year were caused by anything but carelessness. And human carelessness is something against which no safely device has teen found always effective. Don Jaime, son of Don Carlos and claimant to the SpanlBh throne, says he has no intention of interfering i the present row. That shows good sense. It Is safer to be an inactive pretender than be a too active offend er. Whatever may be the outcome, there is no indication that Spain has any real hankering for a Carlist ruler. The success of the typhoid experi ments at Fort Omaha, Neb., will en courage belief that this scourge of hu manity, and especially dread of the soldier during war, has at last been circumvented. The Immunizing of sol diers by vaccination with an anti-typhoid serum appears to have made those who subjected themselves to the test completely Immune. The young monarchs of Spain and Portugal certainly are having their troubles. By the Irony of fate they .seem selected to deal with emergen cies which the experience and wisdom of gray heads might well find per plexing. Stability In government Is making gains In Latin America. President Reyes, of Columbia, served four years and then resigned Instead of being deposed after about a year and a half, according to former customs of his countrj NEW MEXICO TEIIITOIAL Ay. NEWS ..MS Big Prizes for Horse Racing. Albuquerque, N. M. Seventy-five hundred dollars In prizes for horse racing.

Santa Fe. That a Burvey of the pro posed road between Santa Fe and Al buquerque will be started within tb next two weeks, that satisfactory ar rangements are now being made fot financing Its construction, and thai there is every prospect for the com mencement of actual construction work in the very near future, were the In teresting and encouraging statement made by Territorial Engineer Vernon L. Sullivan at the meeting of good roads enthusiasts held in the Commer clal club building. Mr. Sullivan arrived in Albuquerque accompanied by C. H. Neel, of his staff, both gentlemen having made the trip from Santa Fe In an automobile. Tne engineers were met at Bernalillo by Colonel D. K. Sellers, I. H. Cox and others, who made up a committee re- i presenting the New Mexico Automo- bile Association, and piloted into the ! city over the lowland or valley road. The distance covered by the Sullivan machine was sixty-three and flve- tenths miles, the short, feasible ana practicable route between the two cities. Barring several stops necessi tated by deep sand, the trip was made without incident. The purpose of the journey was to ascertain the distance from Santa Fe to Albuquerque by the route covered, the condition of the roads now existing on that route and the possibility, and probable cost of constructing a road, which will be a road in the full sense of the word and not a poor excuse for a highway, as is now the case. Runaway Train Goes in Ditch. Albuquerque, N. M. Seventeen freight cars, which became detachea from a Santa Fe engine near Dallas, New Mexico, ran away down grade for seven miles and crashed into switch engine No. 885 at Pava, a sid ing thirty miles west of this city, tearing up the track for several hun dred yards and resulting in the des truction of the engine and cars by tire. The flames were visible in this city until daylight. The engineer and fireman of the switch engine saved themselves by jumping as they saw the oncoming cars. The runaway train attained a speed of a mile a minute down grade. Engi neer Thompson and his fireman. Dil lon reached here this morning. Dillon lost several hundred dollars in the tire, which he bad secreted in a ca boose on the siding. The engineer and fireman both lost most of their clothing, which was In the engine cab.

Rains Help the Crops. Portales,, N. M. Prospects for good crops around portalesare much bet ter than they were a week ago. The very heavy rain that fell recently caused a very noticelble change in all truck. The general opinion now is that there will be an appreciable amount of grain harvested by farmers who have tilled the soil intelligently during the dry weather. Others will not be so successful. The Irrigation project that is under investigation here is meeting with good success. 4,600 acres have al ready been subscribed, and it is prac tically certain that the remaining 1, 400 will be subscribed in a few days. Tularosa on the Boom. Tularosa, N. M., Ira O. Wetmore ot Carrlzozo and M. J. Jackson of Oscuro have succeeded Austin Marr of El Paso in the management of the Tula rosa Improvement Company which Is backing the new town of Monterey. The report that Mr. W. T.

ONLY 117 BELOW ZERO NOTHING BUT ICE ABOUNDS AND ANIMAL LIFE UNKNOWN THERE. "The last stretch was the easiest I ever made in my life, although I had still to make two observations, and the ice was very broken here. But my spirits were high and I shouted like a boy. The Eskimos looked at one another surprised at my gayety. They did not share my joy. "I felt I ought to be there. I made my last observation and found that I was standing on the pole. "My feelings well, I was too tired really to feel any sensation. I planted tho Stars and Stripes In the Ice field, and my heart grew warm when I saw It wave in the wind. "How does the North pole look? was asked. "Well," said Dr. Cook, . smiling, "it amounts to about the size of a 25-cent piece. There Is nothing to see but ice; no water; only ice. There are more holes there than at the eighty seventh degree, which shows there Is more movement and drift here; but this and other observations I made afterwards when I got more settled. I stopped two days at the pole, and I assure you it was not easy to say good by to the spot. "Perhaps," the explorer added, dryly, "I should have stayed there longer, had It not begun to freeze us in our Idleness. The Eskimos were uneasy, and the dogs howled fearfully. - On April 23, therefore, I again turned my nose southward, which was much easier, as you can not turn your nose In any other direction." Copenhagen, Sept. 3. A newspaper correspondent who went on board the Hans Egede, the sturdy steamer which is bringing Dr. Frederick A. Cook back to civilization, sent the following story of his meeting with the discoverer of the north pole to the newspapers here: "As the steamer Hans Egede steamed by I caught a vision of a small man in a dark suit and peaked cap, shading his eyes with his hands, as if straining to see the welcome civilization after years In icy exile. It was Dr. Cook, the explorer, whose name is on every tongue. He was chatting with the captain on the bridge, now smiling, now waving his hands. I was allowed to board the Hans Egede. "Somebody gave Dr. Cook a bouquet. Tears dimmed his eyes as ho buried his face in their fragrance. "It's year's since I have seen flowers,' said the explorer, with a quiver of emotion in his voice. "I followed him to the cabin. His face was tanned from exposure. He looked the picture of splendid health. Only when he smiled one noticed the Iosb of two teeth. "A fight with a polar bear did that,' he said. 'You cau tell the world,' the explorer con tinued, 'that I am In better condition than at any time, and look forward with an appetite to the festivities that, are promised me. My dinner has been poor these last few years, and I shall bave to make up for it.' "Dr. Cook then briefly described Bis Journey. Regarding his discovery, Dr. Cook said: " 'Then came April 21. That was the great day. We looked for the sun. As soon as we got it, I made several observations. Great joy came over us. We were only sixteen miles from the desired spot. I said to my self, "Bully for Frederick." Then we went on.' '-' The correspondent's story quotes Dr. Cook as saying In conclusion: " 'Say that the day we reached our provisions stores at Etah was a greater day than April 21. I long to get back to civilization, to move among my fellow men; I long to press my wife to my heart. I am the hap piest, man living. Tell ' the whole world I thank God I am back.' " The explorer ascribed his success to the fact that he made use of the old methods, namely Eskimos and dogs, and that he lived like an Eskimo him self. The lowest temperature recorded was 83 degrees centigrade (117 Fahrenheit) below zero. ,: T have ample proof that I reached tho North pole in the observations I took, which afforded a certain means of checking the truth of my state ments. " 'Although I am proud of my achievement In planting the American flag at the North pole, I look with much greater pride to the fact that I traveled around more than 30,000 square miles of hitherto unknown ground, and opened up an entirely fresh field of exploration.' Dr. Cook said he bad seen nothing of the Peary expedition." Conditions Greatly Improving. -New York. Bradstreet's report, just out, says: As the season advances, trade tends to show further expansion, and In dustrial lines are becoming more active. Outputs are being Increased by plants already In operation, and frequent reports come to hand ot resumptions by concerns that have been shut down for some time past. Under the circumstances, employment Is more general, pay rolls are larger and more money available for spending. . PATIENT 8UFFERINQ. Many Women Think They Are Doome. to Backache.

Consumption can be cured, or ar rested, in any section of the United States, and the percentage of cures in the east and the west is nearly the same. Any physician, therefore, who sends a person to the southwest with out sufficient funds, or in an advanced or dying stage of the disease, Is guilty of cruelty to his patient. Renewed efforts are being made to stop this practice, and to encourage the build ing of small local hospitals In every city and town In the country. At tempts are also being made in South ern California and in Texas to ex clude indigent consumptives or to send them back to the east Enough Till Eternity. The biggest marble quarry in opera tion In the world lies almost within a stone's throw of the heart of West Rutland, Vt. Around its mouth is a stock ot 12,000 pieces of finished mar ble. There is a great gap in the hill side. The marble crops out as bare of soil or vegetation as a billiard ball. ' You can walk- over that hill and never fitpn nn nnvthlncr hut mnrhla anil oft-. er two score years of blasting and drilling they don't know how deep' the deposit lies. It seems there's enough marble in that one hill for an eternity. Sage Advice for Husbands, Rev. Father Bernard Vaughan, S. J., thus advises husbands about their wives: "Never attempt to check the flowing tide of her talk. Let her talk on while you possess your soul in ( peace. Remember that a woman needs many more safety valves and outlets for her temperament. Be patient with her." 8ENSE ABOUT FOOD Facts About Food Worth Knowing. It Is a serious question sometimes to know just what to eat when a per son's stomach Is out of order and most foods cause trouble. Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any time with the certainty that it will digest. Actual experience of people is valuable to anyone interested In foods. A Terre Haute woman writes: "I had suffered with Indigestion for about four years, ever-since an attack of ty phoid fever, and at times could eat nothing but the very lightest food, and then suffer such agony with my stomach I would wish I never had to eat anything. "I was urged to try Grape-Nuts and since using It I do not have to starve, myself any more, but I can eat it at any time and feel nourished and satis fled, dyspepsia is a thing of the past, and I am now strong and well. "My husband also had an experience with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak and sickly In the spring. Could not attend to his work. He was under the doctor's care but medicine did not seem to do him any good until he be- gan to leave off ordinary food and use Grape-Nuts. It was positively surpris ing to see the change in him. He grew better right oft, and naturally he had none but words of praise for Grape- NUtB. "Our hoy thinks he cannot eat a meal without Grape-Nuts, and he learns so fast at school that his teach er and other scholars comment on It I am satisfied that it Is because of the great nourishing elements in Grape-Nuts." "There's a Reason." It contains the phosphate of potash from wheat and barley which combine with albumen to make the gray mati ter to daily refill the brain and ner'vo centers. It is a pity that people do not knmj what to feed their children. There Jfre many mothers who give their young sters almost any kind of food and when they become sick begin to pour the medicine down them. The real way is to stick to proper food anA be healthy and get along without med icine and expense. Bvep rrnd the above lrttrrr A ir owe appears from time to time.
