A Remedy for Children,

The following is clipped from late
issue of the Chattanooga Commercial.
Editor COmmercial:-I hear of so
much mortality among children frcm
cholera infantum, bloody Aux ard
diarrhea, that feel it my duty to
send my remedy to be printed for
public reading. 1t seems to he sur
prisingly little known what a sure
remedy raw linssed oil is for such dis,
eases. 1t cures cholera in man or
child-and is invaluable for bloody
hux, healing the infamed stomach
and organs. In case of cholera or
dlarrhea, first inject freely with warm
water, then give tablespoonful of
raw linseed oil. Notice that tits raw
oil. The boiled oil will not do. Ere.
quently the warm water injection will
clear the stomach of the irritating
matter and cure. For bloody fux
inject the oil and give a tablespoon
full. 1t is very soothing and perfectly
harmless. Do not use the dangerous
glass syringe; get rubber one, con-
sisting ola long rubber pipe connected
by hollow ball, with attachments
Children do not seem to object to thi.
oil, as it is not sickening like castor
oil, and doesn't grippe. My little one
have felt its beneficial results.

The National Review (Republican)
says "this thing of preachers mixing
about in political muddles is getting
to be a frst>class nuisance" referring
to the nomination of the Rev. A. B.
Leonard for governor by the prohibi.
tionists of Ohio, So long as preach
ers work with the republicans, though,
as thousands in the north do, it is all
right. The Review is backsliding
from the doctrine of its patron saint,

Col. j. w. Purviance, editor of the
McNairy Independent, one of the
sprightliest country exchanges receiv,
ed at this office, met with a serious
and painful accident recently. He
was caught in the machinery of bis
mill and forcibly thrown uDon the
ground, fracturing his cheek bone.
Had the accident overtaken another
editor of our acquaintance, he would
have sustained no injury whatever
had he fallen on his cheek. The fall
might have broken his shins, but his
cheek would have come out of the con.
test unscathed.-JacksOn Wing.

1t will cost the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, it is said, $4,000, 900
to secure the right of way through Phila-
delphia. The company must buy private
property, build bridges and compensate
adjoining owners. The business to be
obtained from Philadelphia may be worth
the expenditure f; but profit of $400, 900
year, at such rates as those now pre-
vailing, is not easily obtained, and this
amount would be only four per cent. in-
terest on the expense of entering the CITY
alone. The connection with New York
is yet to be made, and it is limited that
the trunk lines of that city will do all
they can to prevent another rival from
entering the field. The Baltimore corpo-
ration might build an independent line
across the State !; but 1t would still be
without terminal facilities. The New
Jersey Central, as now controlled, would
probably be willing to make favorable
arrangement with the Baltimore and
Ohio, but should negotiations begin, the
Vanderbilt and other New York railroad
interests might intervene, buy up Central
stock sufficient to control and put q stop
to the scheme.

VAN HORN BROS.
Martin Coryell, Esq, of this city,
some time since, read paper before the
Society of Civil Engineers, at Louisville.
KY, in which he gave it as his opinion
that the railroad would supersede the
canal everywhere as Q, means of transpor-
tation, and giving as reasons for the
opinion, among others, that the railroad
opens greater area of country, by the
aid OF its branches. A recent letter from
e. ID. Corthell, Esq, chief engineer of
the Tehuantepec Ship Railway, COM
mends the paper and asks of Mr. Coryell
to furnish any additional facts and ideas
that he may have gathered since the
paper was prepared. Mr.. Corthell thinks,
that ship railways will likewise super
sede ship canals. 1t looks reasonable to
suppose so, for the ship canal necessarily
must be less expensive and more expedi-
tious.

JOHN RoACH,S FAILURE.


John Roach, the famous shipbuilder,
has made an assignment for the benefit Of
his creditors.
The cause of this assignment is said to
be the complications arising from Attor-
ney General Garland's decision that the
firm of Roach 81 Sons had no contracts
with the Government.
Mr.. Roach had four steel cruisers nearly
completed at his yard in Chester, besides
the dispatch boat Dolphin. According
to Attorney General Garland the contracts
held by Mr.. Roach authorizing him to
build these vessels are null and void.
After this decision there was nothing
left the shipbuilder but to make an as
signment of his property. He had ex-
pended on these four cruisers millions OF
dollars, thinking he had a contract with
the Government. According to the chief
law officer of the government he has nc
such contract, and the large loans he had
obtained cannot now be met.
John Roach's council says that he will
be able to pay every penny that he owes,
and that neither the Government or any
individual will lose cent.
Garrett Roach, member of the firm,
says his father is broken down physically
from recent worry and care. He further
says: "We have decided to place our
property in the hands of trustees for the
interest of ourselves and our creditors
We will turn over all our property to our
creditors, and will pay every cent we owe
. We don't consider that we've failed,
but that our assignment Is an accommoda-
ton to us under the circumstances. All
the time that the firm of John Roach g.

acter. As an evidence of the value OF
s'that certificate Of good moral character
required by the law In New York from
the retail vendors of spirituous liquors,
the Cathode World quotes Mrs. Elizabeth
Thompson on "The Revelations of the
Census" compilation of the liquor
traffic, in which. shows up the kind OF
people who retail liquor in New York
city. There are 1904 bar-rooms or saloons
where liquor 10 sold of the proprietors,
1904 of them have served sentences in
the State prison 1906 have been Ia the
county prisons; 1863 In the city Jail.
leaving only 1896, to whom the certifi-
cate Of good moral character may apply.
DR.. Pecholier, In a. German medical
journal, calls attention to the fact that
iodine, mercury, quinine, sulphur and ar
senic, which are regarded by physicians
as ''specifics,' are all of them neither
more nor less than germicides; and this is
held to be strong confirmatory evidence
in favor Of the germ theory Of disease.
