Hearing Set for Dec. 10.
December Crop Report.

The December crop report issued
on the 9Th does not describe the con-
dition of wheat as very flattering. The
report says:
The condition of wheat, as compared
with an average, is 80 in the state. "A
in the southern counties, 81 in the cen
trail counties, and 90 in the northern
counties. A large majority of the cor
respondents report wheat as being
badly damaged by the fly; few report
the condition good. Late sown wheat,
in many instances, is as badly infested
as that sowcd early, which is probably
due to the warm, dry weather OF No
vember. Some fields are being plowed
up for other crops; other fields are be-
ing pastured by sheep. Taken as a
whole, the crop is seriously damaged,
with little prospect for its recovery,
eventually. The total number of bush
els of wheat reported marketed by
farmers in November at the Touring
mills is SOP, 347, and at the elevators

Hamburger Has Confessed.

Henry Hamburger, the young man
arrested on the charge of numbering
John NJ. Reindel at his place of bust

had refused to eat anything, and this
together with the occasional sweet box
questioning caused him to weaken and
he admitted all. The only reason for
committing the awful deed was for the

NO USE TO oARoLE THRoATs.
Ply icians Say That the Liquid Reaches
Only to the Middle of the Tongue.


One of the most cherished tenets of
the household school of medicine is
that gargling with a mixture of vine
gar and water is good for a sore throat.
Now come physicians with their cold
science to say not only that the vines
gar and water is useless, but that the
whole idea of gargling is ineffective.
In brief, they say that gargling is Of
no utility, because not a drop of the
liquid used ever gets further than the
middle of the tongue. They appear to
be able to prove this statement. The
whole therapeutic value of gargling
depends on whether the fluid used
reaches the mucous membrance of the
pharynx and tonsils or not. The scien-
lists who have been testing the matter
declare that liquid cannot reach the
tonsils or back of the throat because
the air is expelled by the lungs in the
effort of gargling as well as the shape
assumed by the velum, throws the liq-
uid away from the very parts 1t Is
supposed to reach. The experiments
which have demonstrated the inutility
of gargling were made by DR.. Sanger OF
Munich, and have since been confirmed
by other investigators. The tonsils of
a patient were painted with methylene
blue, very soluble dye, which gives
an intense color. The patient was
then given a glass Of plain distilled
water and was instructed to gargle
with 1t. When the water which the
patient elected from his mouth was
examined it was found to be absolutely
colorless. A glance at the patients
tcnsils showed that they were as blue
as ever. Then another and more exact
experiment was decided upon. When
starch is touched by iodine it imme-
diately turns bright color. A por-
ton of the tongue, velum and tonsils
of the patient were therefore busted
over with wheat flour, which is rich in
starch, and he was then given weak
solution of iodine to gargle. This
proceeding meant that If any of the
liquid which the patient was using as
gargle touched the wheat flour it
would Immediately color 1t blue. When
the patient had used all the gargle his
mouth was examined. 1t was found
that the velum and tongue bore the
blue reaction of the iodine, showing
that the flour had been reached by the
liquid, but on the tonsils the -four had
neither been colored nor washed away.
