Preventing Seasickpe,s,

seasickness is, perhaps, the most distressing. A
perfect cure for this malady woud rob ocean

has been discovered which acts as a specific
The cause of the sickness is largely, If not Who'll
ly, due To the Involuntary and une expected mo-
tious To which the passenger is subjected on
board ship. These canse uudne pressure upon
the stomach and liver, aud derange the action
of those organs. To prevent this, attention has
recently been called to an old plan, which is
said to be very successful. 1t consists in resu
lating the act of breathing according to the
pitching or rolling Of the vessel, drawing in tn
breath as she rises, and breathing ont as she
falls into the trough of the waves. After liz

in, the only thing to be done is to get rid of the
extra bile thrown into the circulation, and to

He purchased bottle of the preparation, and
trying it Oh pair of last years trvasers, found
that he had not been deceived, fer it did subdue
the polish and removed "all dirt and status"
Airing them until they we're free from the
telI-ta Odor of renovation, he pnt them on, and
with the satisfaction Of pFacsieiug economy that
would sooner make all his own the being of his
choice, hurried to that being.
He found her playful and full of mischief, and
the merry laugh with which she greeted his
tumble over her little brothers. W heel barrow in
the hall showed her to lie what he tenderly call
ed high Gather.
From the badinage they got to romping, when,
pulling bis handkerchief from his pocket, she
darted of, leading him a chase around the chairs
and things.
They laughed and ran. and ran and laughed,
when, with sudden spring, he- snatched the
handkerchief. But on the instant his laughter
ceased, the flush of Joy deepened to the ,peony
redness of embarrassment and distress, and
hands and handkerchief were thrust couvulsive-
ly behind him. Something had torn-and his
thoughts flashed back to the preparation.
But the hayward girl would nothing of
this, nor the passionate anxiety with which he
strove to keep his face toward her. She could
not be denied, and catching glimse of white
hemmed corner pee ping out beneath his coat,
clntched it with all the grip of her little hand.
With an awful calm in his face, he protested
che would give up and play no more"
Not she, and laughing little saucy laugh,
tugged away at the corner she held.
"You may as well yield, and give it to me-"
she said.
I-I-cannot." he desperately replied, as he
felt his collar slipping down his back.
Another pull, and bis whole shirt disap-
peared, and SO did she-from the room, and lie

A C0ngressnan's Re0edy for PolaSuary
Disorder.


The following recipe for coughs and cousum p
tion was first used by the Hon. Ellis b. Selma
bel, Of New York, ia 1913, but was never given
to the public until about two years ago: Take
hve pounds of pnre white rock candy, and di s.
solve it in gallon of old rye whiskey-the
older the better. The whiskey must be dis
titled in the old fashioned way with a copper
worm Always get the pure white rock candy.
Colored candies are Invariably poisuu ous. The
clear white rock is pure crystalized sugar. Put
your hve pounds OF white rock candy into q
gallon OF whiskey, aud set it on your table. Let
il remain there until the candy dissolves. A
week may go by before it is absorbed by the
whiskey Whenever you pass the demijohn stop
and give It good shaking, aud have the othe rs
in the house TO do the same In this way it

fui ON going to bed. On waking 10 the morning
take two-thirds as much on an empty stomach.
Carry flask in your pocket and take a spoon

stomach continually employed in taking up
rich and nourishing matter. The cordial vii
check cold night swests, aud the patient will
secure long and refreshing sleeY. All lung
fever will disappear. You will feel no more
pain in the chest. The only danger is that you
may finally become 80 enraptnred with the
elixir that you will find it difficult to drop it
when its use is no longer necessary for the
preservation of your health. Now, as to Your
Dies while feeding ON this elixir. You must
aso'a All Sinegars, pickles. sour wines, malt
drinks, and salt provisions of all kinds. Touch
fresh pork under no circumstances. Acids and
fresh pork promote liberation, and increase the
very difficulty you are-trying to cure. No cof-
fee should he used, for it fevers the blood aud
nentraiizes the agency Of the saccharine matter.
Drink black tea. Eat roast beef, rare-broiled
steaks. mutton chops well done, toasted bread,
and all kinds Of vegetables. One of the best
articles OF food is the rum Omelette, made ex-
clusively Of the yolks Of eggs. There is no
nourishment in the white Of an egg. The OBJ
ject is to enrich the blood. The blood is the
great agent to bnild up weak and dilapidated
constitutions and it must be furnished with
the necessary materials to reconstruct them
This treatment and diet 81 enriches it that it is
bound to win in the end.-From an Old Recipe.

AGraphic Comparis~..

An incident occurred in the battle of Franklin
which have never seen in print. That san
culinary battle was Mt its height, and now and
then there was q soldier who would not face the
music, and, holding to the idea that "dstance
lends enchantment" on all such occasions, would
exhibit his faith in the idea by taking 'leg bail'
for the rear. These cases were getting too nu-
merous toward the close of the battle, and Colo
mel B, of our brigade, was sent back to the
rear to intercept those seeking for safety and
return them to their respective posts of duty.
Colonel B. said he hailed one fellow who
was making tracks for some place of safety with
all the energy of despair.
"Halt! l say, and return to your command ~
The flying son of Mars took no notice of the
command.
"Halt! 1 say, and go back to your post!"
The soldier paid no attention to him.
The Colonel now became exasperated, and
yelled out:
"lf You don't turn and go back to your com.
mand, will shoot you, sir.'
Without pausing in his flight, the soldier yell
ed back ut him:
"Shoot and be hanged! What's one bullet to
a basketful Z"
Colonel B let him go, and, after the battle,
told the incident as good joke.-Chicago Inter-
