Located Here, Drs. Smith and Agnew, of the Red CrnsH Sanitarium, Denver, have come to Ukitth with a view of opening a branch aani- tarium for the treatment of such cases aa cannot be Biiocenafully treated in the high altitude of Colorado. While getting ready to start their new enterprise they have decided to open an office for the treatment of all chronic diseases using as much of their sanitarium apparatus as possible in their temporary office. With their equipment hero they are prepared to administer the now electro-thermal treatment in connection with radium introduced by Prof. Davol, ot Paris, and which has produced such phe- nominal cures in chronic ailments.

In their sanitarium practice they have known it to cure hundreds of cases of rheumatism when the static or spark electric machine and other purely electric treatment had afforded only temporary relief. It cures also kidney troubles, catarrh, deafness and ringing noises in the ears, stiffened joints, nervous debility or weakness in the male and all painful affections of any part of the body in cither sex. They have also the apparatus devised by Prof. Finsen, of Copenhagen, for the production of ultra-violet and chemical rays, which have proved to be far superior to the X-ray as curative agents. They treat all diseases of the eye and ear and adjust glasses where required.

To those commencing a course of medical treatment now no charge will be made (except for medicine) for one month. Examination free. Office for the present in the Donohoe, opposite the Palace hotel. Honrs 10 to 4 and 7 to 8 evenings. The doctors are not strangers but have many acquaintances here having formerly lived in California.

Food For the Soil. Fertilizing must be done sooner or later to replenish the soil with that which has been taken from it and the impoverishment of the soil has already reached such an alarming degree in most sections of the state that growers can ill afford to procrastinate any longer. Small fruit, small vegetables and beans and small hops, with declining quality and quantity, are the result of the disappearance of certain properties of the soil and these properties can be restored only with the use of bone superphosphates. The products of the California Fertilizer works, San Francisco, cost no more than any others, and yet they are incomparably better and are certain to bring the results desired, Hop men in particular, with the present condition and the future prospects of the market, would be making a bad mistake if they did not fertilize. They can increase their crops from 25 to 50 per cent, which is no theory, but established fact shown in numerous localities.
