Cures for Warts

There are almost as many cures" for
warts as there are weather. savings.
Take ham-bone with little meat re-
manning on it, and rub the warts with
It; hen bury the bone. AS the meat
decays the warts wi. dry up, and finally
there will be neither meat nor. warts
left. Burn letter written in ink on
saucer and blow away the ashes; yell
low, oily matter will remain. Anoint
the warts with this several times day
until they disappear. Tie some pebbles
mp in a bag with piece OF silver money
and throw the bag in the road; whoever
ands the bag and keeps the money win
get the warts also, q piece OF
meat and use 1t as the ham bone is to be
used. the meat must be stolen to be Of
fcacious, and no one must see you steal
or bury IL. The juice Of the milk weed
Is cure for warts; SO Is lunar caustlo,
applied to them repeatedly. They may
be removed by the Of fine file; OF
2 thread may be tie, tightly around the
wart, which will dry up and drop of in
n few days. The last three .cures" we
consider the best.

that the first American flag was turned

they sought out . 9, ct old Quaker lady

Quoted an upholstery business in Phila-

Of a six -oorno.ed star, she advised that
it'be chang = to a Ave -cornered star, as
the six-co usred star was the star of
English heraldry, while the fivs-corner-
s. star was the one used by the French,
Dutch and Germens. To illustrate her

The Sioux Falls Argus calls down the
county superintendent of schools in
Minnehaha county for the poor English
used in the last issue of the Minnehaha
Teacher, Of which the said, superinten-
dent is editor. The Argus Leader points
out numerous badly constructed senten-
ces and goes on to say:
The most important point in the cur
riculum of the public schools is train
ing in English. To understand the
language, to use words intelligenlly. to
group them effectively anl to comply
with grammatical usage, form The
most valuable educational advantage
which can be conferred on boy or girl
Unlss schools confer this advantage they
fail in their highest aim. And they must
80 fail unless the teachers themselves
habitually use pure English.
The Minnehaha Superintendent is
probably mp to the average in the state.
We have had items and communications
handed into the GRAPHIC Office by teach
ers which were enough to make COM
positor commit suicide. We have some-
times thought that tie English language
as a study was absol etc in the public
schools.

People in the vicinity OF Chamberlain
who ought to know are unanImousi in say
ing that more snow has fallen this winter
than during any winter since that of 18.
80-81. when the snow fall was so great
that when the snow went in the spring
every lake bed was filled to the brim
with water. As a result the crops we're
good during the succeeding two or three
years-SiOux Falls Journal.
The unanimity consists solely of the
we'll known correspondents clever
writer and a blamed good fellow, but
rather wild sometimes in his statements.
1t is far from .rue that more than the
average amount Of snow has fallen this
winter. Fully as much, if not more. fell
in the winter Of 1889, and the sue
ceedtng crop did not compare with that Of
1892 and 1893, both years with exception,
ally Hight snow falls. The prospect for q
good crop is at present no better nor
worse than usual.

A especial from DesMoines states that
the general impression Is that no mat
ter what disposition is made of the bills
for the regulation Of the retail traffic in
liquor, some law providing for the man
ufactnre and sale for export or for home
use In original packages of beer, wine
or spirits will be pas sed by the Iowa as
sembly. This is horse sense. If 1T is
right to sell liquors for any purpose it
is right to. manufacture them for that
particular purpose, and the state should
have that privilege.

1t the people want saloons they can
have them. II the people desire to rid
the town OF saloons, it can be done. II
rests with a majority of the people.
The GRAPHIC thought this queer ad-
mission by defender of the present
prohibition law and commented upon it.
Tbs News man says:
The advantage of the prohibitory law
Is that where the people of a town do not
want saloon, it cannot be force d upon
them. They can apply tho law and rid
themselves OF the saloon in short order,
without the law, the saloon can be Ii
censed and run under State and nation
al enactments, and the people are power
less.
What is the matter with law that
will permit community to legally es-
tablish saloon if it so elects. If the
people do as they please about this mat
ter why not make law based on this
fundamental principle. All law comes
from the people. The News is glad that
it has the legal right to snuff out sa-
loon established right next door" il 1t
wants to. Does the News want the pow
er to snuff out one next to our door il we
want it?
