Medical journals occasionally take
up the subject of treatment by means
of heat. The method has not met with
extreme favor because of errors in APP
plying it. This form of alleviating
pain and curing disease is by no means
new, having been successfully prac-
ticed by some of the laity for many
years. The heat must be extremely
dry to have the best effect; steam or
moisture is incompatible with success,
for as soon as sufficiently high tenn
perature Is reached the steam renders
it unbearable to the patient. One of
the best and simplest ways to apply
dry heat Is to fill bottles or cans with
boiling water, wrap them in pieces OF
cloth and place them as near to the
patient as can be borne. Neuralgia,
rheumatism and digestive disorders
have been known to vanish as Ii by
magic under this treatment. All that
is necessary is to refill the vessels as
often as required. They must be abso-
lutely watertight and not drop Of
moisture must touch the wrappings,
as this would create the steam, which
is so Objectionable. Congestive head
aches and severe nervous attacks have
been removed at once by this means.
Where medical facilities are not easily
obtained number of cans or bottles
kept expressly for the purpose of hold
ing hot water will be found of great
advantage.-N. Y. Ledger.

DAILY COLD SPONGE BATH.
Summer Is the best Time to Begin tho
Habit of Self-Hygienic
Treatment.

Although doctors differ" about
many things, they all agree as to the
advisability of the daily bath, and the
majority say that it is best taken
cold, unless the bather's vitality is
much below the average. A cold
sponge bath is an excellent tonic as
well as an admirable prophylatic.
The summer is the best time to ac-
quire the habit.
Use bathing glove or washrag, and
soap yourself rapidly and thoroughly
from head to foot, this ought not to
for the quick rubbing is especially de-
sirable, both as exercise and for the
skin. Then wash the soap off, rubbing
as hard and as fast as you can, and
then dry in the same fashion with a
Turkish towel, or, still better, one of
crash. The bath should occupy about
ten minutes and leave you with u
healthy glow when 1t is over.
There are many people whose con-
situations will not endure a cold
plunge bath; very few who would not
reap benefit from daily sponge with
cold water, and vigorous rubbing with
a rough towel afterwards, the year
round. If cold water does not leave
you glowing, begin with lukewarm
water, using less and less warm water
every day until you can dispense with
1t entirely.-Chicago Times-Herald.

KILLED BY WHTTECAPS.

A MAN NARROWLY ESCAPES.
Two Arrests Have Iissn Made aud 9th

Cause Except to Get the Blacks
Ost Of That Town.

Plano, Tex, June l5.--A tragedy
happened at i;s0 O'Clock yesterday
morning at the home Of Jake Cebron,
colored, on Main street A party Of
whitecappers who had visited nearly
every cabin in town. giving the inmates
from four to ten days 10 leave, appeared
at Cebron's house At the time mentioned
above.
Cebron anticipated their coming and
heard them knocking at the door Of a
cabin Just across the street. He stood
IN the door with winchester in hand
and when the party discovered this they
opened fire on the cabin.
Cebron's wife, who was asleep in bed
In the southeast corner Of the room, was
struck with bullet, making a large
hole. As she raised up In bed another
small shot entered her back between her
shoulders. She got up out Of bed and
fell In tho doorway leading 10 the back
room. After the firing she was laid
on the bed, where she expired in an
hour and a half after she was shot.
Cebron fired three shots at the mob,
none Of which took effect, a. they were
crouched on their knees IN the ditch by
the side Of the road. Cebron's escape
from death was miraculous.
The city marshal, who arrived on the
scene Of the tragedy shortly after the
firing was over, says the scene that lay
before him when he entered the house
beggared description. There lay the
mother in the last throes Of death on the
floor, the whole room bespattered with
blood, the three children sitting up in
bed, frightened half to death, thinking
the next minute they would be shot to
death, and the father, nying mad,
yowing vengeance on the slayer Of his
innocent wife and unborn babe.
The cause which led upto this terrible
affair was the congregating Of about 70
or 20 strange negroes here about 10 days
ago, who were compelled to loaf around
town, owing to so much rain lately that
they could not obtain work in the coun.
try, the wet weather preventing farm
work.
Charley Gulter and Bob Cummings,
both white, were arrested charged with
murder on warrants emanating from the
justice court, and taken TO Mckinney
jail. Other arrests viii likely follow in
few days. The city marshal tracked
four Of the mob and Is doing everything
possible to bring the guilty parties to
Justice.
