GAIL witnesses have to attend court
anyhow, and under the new arrange
ment only a day or two will suffice to
dispense with them, whereas they now
sometimes are held until the third
week of court.
~ favor the putting of every officer
of the court on a salary, and that the
fees as are now paid them be turned
over to the county, as is done by the
register of mesne conveyance. We
will find this will prove quite saving
to the county and litigants as well.
"Some have suggested that the office
of master and county judge be consol-
idated. / prefer that the Offices Of
master and probate judge be consol-
idated and held by one man, with a
salary, and the fees, as now collected, ,
turned over to the county. We will
need the services of a master quite
frequently in the new court, and I
don't think the new judge of that court
should be his own referee.
"In addition to the speedy and fire.
quent clearance of the Jail, the civil
business of the court can then get a
hearing, and people not made to wait
on their cases for two or three years,
as is now often the case, while suffer-
ing the wrongs sought to be redressed.

UNFoUNDED FEARS OF APPENDIt

UNFoUNDED FEARS OF APPENDED
TIs.-Dr. H. R. Lemen, of Alton, ILL.,,
says: II often meet people who have
such a wholesome fear of appendicitis
that they do not eat grapes, tomatoes,
figs or fruit containing little seeds, be-
cause of fear that these seeds will
lodge in the appendix and cause ap-
pendicitis. Whenever I hear q person
say he denies himself fruit because of
this fear, l take occasion to assure him
that it is useless to take any such pre-
cautions. If you like fruit, eat it, for
appendicitis, seven in ten instances, is
due to other things than seeds. Little
particles of food of any kind can lodge
in the appendix and produce appendi-
citis, even crumb being capable of it.
In addition, a great many cases are
caused by something entirely outside
the appendix, something causing in
flammation. To all will say: go
ahead and eat anything you like, for
all precautions you may take are not
going to save you from appendicitis if
you are going to have it, The mex
plicable thing to which the majority OF
cases are attributed cannot be guarded
against, and it is useless to fight the
minority. ."-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

POISONED WATER.-A month or two
ago there was an outbreak of typhoid
fever at Camp Black in New York,
Most of the sickness was found to be
in one regiment.
On close inquiry it was found that
the men of this regiment were in the
habit of drawing their drinking water
from the we'll of a neighboring farm
house, because it was cooler than that
furnished them. Twelve feet from the
we'll was loosely constructed vault
which had been used by typhoid
fever patient. So the sickness in the
regiment was directly traced to the
farmers mistaken kindness.
This lesson should be needed, no,
only in the care of camps but in ordi'
nary life. Typhoid fever is a preven'
table disease. The contagion is com.
municated by impurities which pass
from a diseased system to healthy
one. An outbreak of typhoid fever
always means ignorant or criminal
carelessness somewhere.
Too great care cannot be exercised

AVOIDING CoUGHING.-A physician

AVOIDING CoUGHING.-A physician
who is connected with an institution
in which there are many children says {:
"There is nothing more irritable to d
cough than coughing For some time
1 had been so fully assured of this that
| determined for one minute at least to
lessen the number Of coughs heard in
certain ward in hospital of the in
stitution. By the promise of rewards
and punishments I succeeded in induc-
ing them simply to hold their breath
when tempted to cough, and in little
while I was myself surprised to see
how some of the children entirely re-
covered from the disease. Constant
coughing is precisely like scratching a
wound on the outside of the body. So
long as it is done, the wound will not
heal. Let a person when tempted to
cough draw a long breath and hold it
until it warns and soothes every air
cell, and some benefit will soon be re-
ceived from this process. The nitrogen
which is thus confined acts as al an
odyne to the mucous membrane, al.
laying the desire to cough, and giving
the throat and lungs chance to heal. "
