WILL. MsToN, s. q. Feb. 4.

To the Editor of The State.
a year ago, when the influenza or
grip vas so prevalent, / noticed a
report on the disease from one of the
best hospitals of Europe. This hos
pital ism Edinburg, Scotland. At
the tnne OF the report hundreds of
influenza cases had been treated
there. After fighting the epidemic
with varying success, a happy acci-
dent led the superintendent to adopt
an alkaline treatment with an ex-
tieme case that was brought in. A
full dose of saleratus was given every
two hours. Although the patient
was in commissions when brought in
she became quieter a short time after
the first dose; and only three doses
were given before the patient was
clearly on the way to recovery. In
three days she was counted we'll.
This same simple treatment was then
followed with a thousand, not N of
whom died. Best of all, not only was
the influenza promptly cured, but
there was no unpleasant or danger
GUS symptoms following recovery.
1t has been observed that not more
die of the influenza than of what
may follow it.
From some work in my chemical
laboratory, carried on before this re-
port came out, L had concluded that
the influenza was at least associated
with, excessive acidity of the system,
if it vas not caused by this abnor-
NAL state. | was so certain of the
correctness of this view that on be-
ing thrown in bed myself with the
influenza, | treated myself with
only alkaline drinks to counterfeit
the acid. The result was that in
stead of two or three weeks of puny-
ness, l missed only one day from
work.
The success with my own case was
so astonishing that | have been
called to treat other cases; and of
about twenty-five treated very few
have had to give up work for more
than a day-some not at all.
Not being a physician, l should
feel some hesitancy in Offering my
cure, if after | had begun to try it,
it had not received the high testi-
monials quoted.
AT first, | used the carbonate of
lithia, which is the best Of the aka
lis for the purpose. But as my prac-
ice Gall charity enlarged, l left so
expensive a drug, and contented my
self with the carbonate of poatsh and
soda. These l found practically as
good as the lithia.
For the sake of the suffering pub
lie, | would say that the dose l have
used for grown patients has been a
level teaspoonful of baking soda,
dissolved in plenty of water, taken
every two hours until soreness and
headache L gone, and then one
extra dose for good measure. 1t is
not best to take a dose just before
or after eating. l have rarely found
more than four doses needed.
Since the system is in an acid
state, calomel is a very dangerous
medicine, and many deaths from in
t1uenza are, without reasonable
doubt, traceable to the use of calomel
in the disease.
1t is interesting to note that, when
all else failed, our grandmothers
used to III the worst colds with
"tire-Coal tea" This was simply a
crude saleratns treatment. SO there
is nothing new under the sun, and
our wise theory simply proves the
soundness of another of their old
practical methods.

ceedings.

Notice was served on Auditor Broderick
yesterday by County Clerk Curry that suit
has been begun by Charles S. Young, the
appointee of the Board of Supervisors to
the position of Superintendent of Schools,
to oust Madison Babcock, the appointee of
the Board of Education. 1t was hoped by
Mr.. Young's attorney that this would stop
the issuance of Mr.. Babcock's salary war
rant, but such was not the case, for Mr..
Babcock received his warrant on Saturday
last after it had been held the length of
time promised by Mr.. Broderick when
asked to refuse to sign by Mr.. Young's
attorney.
''The law is clear on this matter" said
Mr.. Broderick yesterday.
1.-THE original provision was that the
Auditor should not sign the warrants of
an incumbent after contest had been be-
gun ntil the case was settled. Later this
was amended to provide that in case the
officer had received his certificate of cleo
tion the law was not to be binding on the
Auditor.
"Of course the attorney for Mr.. Young
claims that Mr.. Babcock holds no certifi-
cate because the Board of Education has
no right to issue one, but l am not sup
posed to settle that question.
MIR. Babcock has what purports to be a
certificate signed by the proper officers in
the Board of Education, and until the
courts decide that he is not entitled to the
office and that the certificate is void / shall
continue to sign his warrants. Should the
plaintiff get out an injunction / might be
compelled to hold them, but under the
present condition of affairs / am not"

Samuel Whitney yesterday. The incident
happened in front of Holidays fruit
store at sol Haight street. 1t grew out of
a long-standing account which Whitney
contracted at the Holiday store, and

pleaded poverty and offered other excuses,
which the proprietor CT the fruit estab-

The principals of the encounter are
young men and are well and favorably
known in the neighborhood in which they
live.
From witnesses OF the affair it was
learned that Whitney drove up in his
buggy to Holidays place shortly before 9
o'clock yesterday morning. He entered
the store and engaged in conversation
with the proprietor. A number of people
were about buying fruit, but they heard
little of<the conversation that passed until

played his star engagement with the horse
whip. He suggested to Whitney in no
uncertain language that his bill had run
altogether too long and must be settled
without further delay. This riled Whit
ney somewhat, as he did not relish being
publicly criticized for a shortcoming which
he thought could be the better settled in
private. His ginger was up iI moment
and he called Holiday, so the latter al
leges, an epithet that not usually is heard
in religious circles.
Holiday made rush for the buggy,
and, grabbing the horsewhip from the
holster, applied it with much violence to
the head, face and body of the unfortunate
collector. 1t was a perfect shower of
blows. Whitney threw up his hands to
protect himself and remained in the buggy
and took his medicine without the
slightest show of resistance. Holiday,
VINO seemed wild with rage, continued to
WELD the lash with terrific force until his
brother ran up to him and wrenched the
whip from bis grasp. Then Whitney
drove rapidly away. He was quite
severely injured.
The whipping was witnessed by many
people, who discussed the matter long
after Whitney had driven away.

Monster Petition Sent to the
Board of Supervisors
Yesterday.
WANT BITUMINoUs PAVEMENT
George w. Elder Says That the Boule
ward Can Be Perfectly LAID
for $65,ooo.

The property-owners along the line OF
Folsom street have determined upon
new course of procedure to accomplish the
building of the Folsom-street boulevard,
which has been agitated for several
months past by improvement clubs and
private individuals.
In a monster petition sent IN to the
Board of Supervisors yesterday, signed by
a majority of the property-owners on the
thoroughfare between Steuart and Nine
teenth streets, the board is asked to have
the street paved with bitumen and other
wise placed in good condition.
The petition calls attention to the fact
that the street is in bad condition and has
been for years, and that the value OF prop
erty along its line has deprecated through
this state of affairs. The matter was re-
ferred to the Street Committee.
When the agitation for the Improvement
of Folsom street was begun several months
ago. it was thought that by simply calling
a public meeting and showing the Board
of Supervisors the feeling of the people of
the Southside in the matter the Super
visors would take it up and do whatever
was necessary.
Many meetings were held and numerous
communications sent to the board, but
without result, and even a public mass
meeting failed to accomplish anything.
Then the laborious task of getting the
signatures of q majority of those living
along the line of the street was begun and
was only accom- plished after months of
toll on the part of the solicitor, though
the main trouble lay in getting inter
views with the owners and not in convlnc-
ing them that the improvements are
necessary.
The large amount of money in the
Street Department fund for this year has
led rho OwOprs n hOOa that the board Will
heed their appeal and give the Superln-
tendent of Streets the necessary orders.
George w. Elder, the expert appointed
to report on the condition of streets and
street repairs, has been over the ground
on Folsom street, and says that to repair
the thoroughfare as is proposed by the
Superintendent of Streets would be to
waste large amount Of good money with
out practical results
"Some of that cobble pavement has been
down for thirty years or MORE he said,
land to make the street uniform and put
it in the condition desired by the property
owners, it should be entirely torn up and
replaced by modern pavement. What is
the sense of throwing good money after
bad and spending $4,000 to $4,000 in re-
pairing that street, when $65,00O, judi
ciously and honestly expended, will put
down perfect bituminous pavement from
Steuart street to the south line of Nine
teenth?
Il have made a careful estimate of the
cost and | know it can be done for that
amount. | have no doubt that had it been
necessary the signatures of all the prop
erty.owners could have been secured, for
all realize the vast benefit it would be to
them.
with $500, 900 in the Street Department
fund, which is insured by the tax levy,
there will be plenty of money TO spare"
