ing while a cadet at West Point. held its

HOMEMADE LINIMENTS.
Are Frequently of Great Value for the
Cure of Disease.
From the New York Tribune

Are Frequently Of Great Value for the
Cure of Disease.
From the New York Tribune.
1t is difficult to find IMMINENT that will
be Of more general usefulness than simple
camphorated Oil or camphor liniment, as it
is often called. It is valuable for rubbing
on the outside Of the throat or on the chest
as gentle stimulant, or it may be used in
case of chronic rheumatism. where 1t must
be applied with friction to give any relief.
It may be purchased Of the druggist or It
may be prepared at home by dissolving one
ounce of gum camphor in four fluid ounces
of olive oil. In case Of q severe cold q
piece Of flannel dipped in camphor liniment
and heated and laid over the chest under a
layer Of cotton batting will seldom fail to
bring relief to a little child or even to an
older person. Ammonia linfment is a more
powerful stimulant to the skin. 1t is made
by mixing half an ounce of olive oil and
shaking in a bottle until they are mixed.
Apply 1T with the palm of the hand, using
abundant friction.
A compound liniment which Is recon-
mended for rheumatism and ''numbness" Is
made of two and a half ounces OF gum
camphor and one drachm of Oil Of lavender
dissolved in seventeen fluid ounces of alco-
hol. After this add three fluid ounces Of
strong solution Of ammonia and shake the
ingredients thoroughly together in bottle
Keep 1t closely corked when not In use. A
good liniment for bruises and strains is
made of two fluid ounces of alcohol, two
fluid ounces of ammonia and two table
spoonfuls of salt. Put these ingredients in
a quart bottle every time this Imminent is
used. Apply it with friction, using the
palm of the hand, as the massage nurse
does. The efficacy of almost any of the
liniments depends considerably on the care
and zeal with which it Is applied. In all
cases the skin should be covered with nan
mel and often with cotton batting after the
IMMINENT has been applied, as 1t Is desirable
to keep In the heat of the rubbing. A good
healing IMMINENT for chafed skins. burns or
scalds IL made OF three ounces OF sperma-
ceti ana one ounce OF white wax melted into
q pint Of olive oil by setting them In a bot
tie uncorked In a pan Of warm water and
repeatedly shaking the bottle: returning It
to the warm water until the Ingredients ara

LIEUT.. SIMS INDICATED,
French Government Offers Him Cross
of the Legion Of Honor.

PARIS, December 1?.-The French gov
eminent has given the mostsemphatic denial
to those French papers which tried to in
voive the American embassy IN the Paris
disclosures in connection with the United
States War Department knowledge Of
French gun secrets, by offering the cross
OF the Legion of Honor to Lieut. w S.
Sims. former United States naval attache at
Paris. whom La Presse described as the
person guilty of disclosing the gun secrets
When the news was first published here
the anti-governmental press attempted to
use 1t as a weapon against the ministry,
and La Presse accused, anonymously. the
ex-naval attache of the United States en-
bassy. making the description so distinct
that diplomatic circles knew Lieut. Sims
was intended. 1t said, among other things,
that The acted almost openly as a spy for
several powers"
The news became public today that NJ
Delcasse, the minister of foreign affairs
had offered the cross of the Legion of Hon
or to Lieut.. Sims. who is now on board the
battle ship Kentucky AS the lieutenant
is government official he is unable to ac-
cept the honor without the consent of Con-
greSS.

improbable.

alike.
The industrial activity was led today by
American Sugar. The buying of the stock

One of the big armored cruisers shall go to
Cramps, one to the Newport News Co. and
one to the Union iron works in California.
One battle ship shall go to the Fore River
engine works at Quincy, Mass.
This leaves seven ships to be disposed Of
and while it is not possible to make the
prediction with absolute accuracy the in
dications are that these will be distributed
as follows: One cruiser and one battle
ship to Cramps, making three for them: one
cruiser and one battle ship to the Newport

cruiser and one battle ship to the Union
