To Stop Bleeding NJ the Nose.

There are many remedies recommen-
ded, such as putting large key down
the patients back, and 50 on, but the
most effectual, based on scientific
principles, is SO efectual as to be
infallible. The entire blood supply
of the face comes from two little
arteries, each supplying one side Of
the face, and each passes over the
outside of the jswbone, about two
thirds of the way back from the chin
to the angle of the jaw under the
ear. These arteries can be found by
the finger, and in the case Of bleeding
at the nose can be pressed against the
jawbone, thus stopping the flow Of
blood from the nostr.ls. One artery
supplies the right nostri! and the
other the left. 1t can therefore be
easily determined on which side to
apply the pressure, which should be
continued long enough to allow of
contraction of the finer arteries Of the
rose,

5th.-Becausc the expense Of insur-
ance is divided up into small amounts,

ciple Of careful selection of risks and
economical management.
Nh.-Becanse the moment my lie is
insured my estate il really worth fully

eth.-Because, having but one life,
my family cannot avail themselves Of

Jth.-Because policy Of insurance
On my life will give me the composure
and freedom from solicitude, which, in
sickness, contributes to recovery, and

He is Unhappy.

The editor of the Moline Reoieao, Re-

very much offended because the board of
supervisors didn't adopt Dave Reds high
salary resolution, but did adopt most of
Sup'r. Whitney's Democratic low salary
resolution, and the ReUielo says:
Our Democratic board OF supervisors adjourned
to meet In December. They ought to hold an ad-
journed meeting early In November and appoint
TIden ticket peddlers at each election precinct.
This would be in keeping with their doings OF last
