Pin Worms,

A Connecticut subscriber asks in
formation as to the cause and cure of
pin worms. The pin worm is about
the size Of a small sowing thread, be-
tween a quarter and a half inch in
length, injecting the rectum and in
testines, producing great irritation
and distress in the arms. It breeds in
great numbers and is most torment
ing pest, especially to children, irri-
tation often producing in the little
ones what is known as worm fever. "
Pin worms may be exterminated by
injections. Turpentine is good, but
carbolic acid is perhaps better. The
injections should be composed Of car
bolic acid, ten to twenty drops in pro
portion to pint Of warm water. Give
these injections two or three times a
day and especially before retiring. AS
the worms seek the arms for breeding
it is advisable to keep them we'll oiled !;
use lard or antiseptic ointment, fol-
low. with slight dose Of calcined
magnesia at night. See that sheets
and night clothes are changed nightly
after being thoroughly washed and
boiled. Herald Of Health.

Jewelry Statesmen in New York.


How much9" inquired a tall, sty-
lishly dressed man, holding up a dia-
mond scarf pin and addressing the
principal of Broadway wholesale
jewelry firm.
"Thirty-6ve dollars-bottom price
it's cheap at that"

''Not later than2 pm"
Then she goes" and the stylishly
dressed man placed the pin carefully
in his case, deposited it in his inside
pocket and walked out.
To reporter the principal said:
That's one of our many customers
who take jewelry to sell on specula'
ton. At this time of year it is quite q
common thing for such persons to buy
articles on speculation in that fashion.

PROHIBITION VS.. nIINCE PIE


Minneapolis Journal: The ques-
ton Of conditional prohibition was
discussed in Connections with all the
faithful attention to minor detail that
obtains in a state where the hen is
forbidden by law to scratch The
Nutmeg state is noted for its frequent
arrival at infnitesimal conclusions, a
custom perhaps derived from the
almost impalpable yet lasting i'll
huence Of its famous blue laws. The
discussion Of prohibition in Connect
cut was based upon its problematical
influence in the matter Of mince pie.
Your true Connecticutan cannot live
happily without mince pie, made in
the old-fashioned New England way.
The recipe for this delecatable pastry
distinctly names cider as an important
ingredient. Cider, in New England,
is Intoxicating, and therefore con-
demned and abhorred of prohibitory
laws. The question then arose,
"Shall we have mince pie without
prohibition, or prohibition without
mince pie?"
The discussion Waxed warm. Some
feeble minded COMPROMISED sug-
gested that good mince pie may be
made without cider, and the issue of
prohibition or mince pie thus avoided.
The state papers took up the discus
sion warmly. The Ansonia Sentinel
said:
If the prohibition amendment is
carried the delectable mince pie will
have to 60. To make the old
fashioned mince pie requires cider,
and cider cannot be made when pro-
hibition reigns, according to the
decision of the courts of Massachusetts,.
On the other hand the Bridgeport
Standard declared:
Not so fast, brother. There is no
reason in the world why mince pies
should go if the constitutional
amendment is adopted in this state.
We happen to be acquainted with a
housekeeper whose mince pies we will
wager a big apple are equal to any
that ever graced the table of our
contemporary, and she never used
cider or any other intoxicating liquor
in making them. Cider may go, but
mince pies never!
Only a few years ago the local
organization of the w. G. r. U. in a
Connecticut town became involved in
a similar discussion. Some of the good
sisters were determined that cider, as
all ingredient of mince pie, must go;
while others, welded to their idols,
declared that cider and mince pie
were bound in indissoluble union.
So warm did the discussion become
that the organization foundered upon
the rocks and the mince-pie-with-
cider ladies' and the mince-pie- without
cider ladies no longer spoke as they
passed by.
1t really seems that there is a
greater issue that the tariff in Con-
necticut. Prohibition was defeated
yesterday.

The sentiment of American patriot
ism is, happily, growing very healthy

glory.
1t is to be hoped that those who

Central and South America will not

dences of our wealth and material

emphasize the noble freedom and

what constitutes the real greatness Of
this country-what, in short, are the
elements of the "Americanism' thai
is our heritage and pride.
Our American nationality is the
most powerful assimilative Of any thai
the world has ever seen. In that, i
in nothing else, it is far superior tt
any European nationality. Those
then, who come here to take the name
and enjoy the benefits of American
citizenship need not regret their politi
cal new birth. 1t should satisfy
them to be Americans. In the ole
days of Roman domination it was
so great an honor to be adopted
into the citizenship Of Rome that al
men were eager for it. With very
great price some men purchased the
privileges of Roman citizenship. Bu
we make American citizenship free a:

than ever the Roman senate could
