The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1901-02-22

In interviews given the Chicago pa
pers, published under scare headlines,
and spread elsewhere over the country, a
member OF the Sutter firm is made to
say that so per cent. of the 1900 tobacco
crop is damaged, and the impression
carried that the crop is failure. Ii he
is correctly reported we desire to take
issue with him, not only as to the fact,
but also as to the wisdom of discrediting
SO important a product among the man
ufacturers and in the markets of the
country That the 1900 crop was seri-
ously damaged in it's cure is no news, a
fact we'll known to every packer in the
country. This paper has published the
facts relating thereto almost weekly for
more than three months past, and esti-
mated the probable amount of damage
frequently; but no one acquainted with
the circumstances believesf for moment
that the injury was as great as 60 per
cent or aGyfEing like that amount. 1t
has been a common practice in receiving
the crop to throw out the damaged por-
tion, and pay only for the merchantable
leaf, and the average returns to growers
after such deductions, has generally ex-
Sceeded $fO0 per acre, which is an evil
dence of the truthfullness of this state
ment.

WILL CONSIDER ORDINANCE
To Prevent Driving Faster Than q
MaIlk at Win and DomgLas..

It is likely that at the next meeting of
the city county an ordinance viii he pre-
scented before that body to have he driv-
ers Of vehicles of all kinds drive on a
walk while turning the corner of Main
street and Douglas avenue. Every day
there are narrow escapes from injuries
because people persist in driving faster
than a walk
1T seems to be the custom at the present
time for people TO try and drive around
that corner on q trot, and it does not
make any difference whether they had
been driving on a walk or trot before
reaching there.
Under the present circumstances the
police department is powefless to pre-
vent driving faster than a walk at that
place. owing to the fact thai there is no
ordinance to cover the situation.
BY having such an ordinance an officer
could be stationed there. and there can be
no question but what an accident. which
is likely to occur a. almost any time, viii
be averted-

ONE MILLION POUNDS
Hockaday Wholesale House
Places Big Order for Nails
DELIVERED IN SIXTY DAYS
Splendid indication of Wich-
ita's Wholesale Business.

Yesterday the Hockaday Hardware
company let the contracts for the deliv-
cry in Wichita at their wholesale house
Of one million pounds Of nails. repre-
senting in money $4,000. This immense
order is to be filled within the merit sixty
days, and the members Of the Hockaday
firm stated last night to a reporter for
the Eagle that within sixty days after
the nails were received a very large pOr-
ton Of them would be sold.
To the average person one million
pounds Of nails seems very large and so
it is This is the first time in the his
tory Of the Wichita wholesale house that
it has purchased such a large amount Of
one line Of goods.
The nails will be shipped from different
places and the first shipments are sched-
, uled to arrive within short time The
nails are OF all sizes that are used in this
territory. The quality is the best that is
made.
This large order is an indication that
the Wichita firm is doing business in this
territory. It is now placing orders for
heavy hardware to be delivered within
the next sixty and ninety days, but the
order that they have given out SO far
breaks the record for the Hockaday
Hardware company.
Not only is this order an indication
that the wholesale firm is doing business
in this territory, but it Is more than an
indication that Wichita is really becOm-
ing more than a jobbing town IN name.
Not only has the wholesale hardware firm
had heavy business in their line, but
other houses as well have had the larg-
est business in their history, within the
past few months.
Business men in Wichita's territory
have ascertained that the prices quoted
by the Wichita wholesale men are just as
good and oftentimes lower than prices
quoted by wholesale houses in other cit
les. This fact has something to do with
the condition Of affairs and surely de-
notes that the Wichita merchants under
stand what they are doing.
The very fact that the Hockaday COM
pany will dispose Of their large order in
such short time IS an indication that
business IS being done in the hardware
line. MIR. I. n. Hoekaday stated: 1--WE
have been forced to place this order so
as to protect ourselves, owing to the fact
that orders have been pouring in on US
and at the present time we are having
the strongest business that we have ever
had since we have been here. The nail
order that we have just placed VIII not
last us a great while and we will make
another order of a similar size. We are
pleased with our business. There can be
no question about that"
The sale Of so many nails in Wichitas
territory Is significant. It means that
when the spring opens up there will be
building in all parts Of the country. The
new towns in Oklahoma win have many
new buildings Southern Kansas viii not
be left behind, and Wichita herself will
contribute 10 this building matter.

THE VIRTUES OF SALT.
How 1t May De Used to Alleviate the
Ills of Mankind.


Ills of Mankind.
AS dentifrice common salt may be
relied on. BY It's judicious use the
teeth are kept white, the gums hard
and the breath sweet. When the gums
are spongy, the mouth should be wash
ed out twice a day with salt and Wa
ter.
Warm salt and water held In the
Mouth will sometimes Danish tooth
sche and at least make the afliictiOn
lighter, while it is both safe and easy
to try.
Again equal parts Of alum and salt
or even salt alone placed Oh piece OF
cotton wool and inserted In the hollow
of an aching tooth will often give relief
when other means have failed.
To allay neuralgia pains in the head
and face take a small bag of flannel,
AL with salt, heat thoroughly and ap-
ply to the affected part.
A bag of salt placed hot to the feet
or any portion of the body is better for
giving and keeping warmth than is the
conventional brick or hot water bottle.
Salt placed Oh the gum when tooth
has been extracted will prevent pro-
fuse bleeding at such time.
An excellent gargle for the throat Is
simply salt and water. Many serious
cases of throat affection might be cur
ed by the use Of this alone If only
taken in time, gargling every hour or
half hour, as the need warrants.
A flannel cloth wrung out of salt wa
ter is also an excellent remedy for sim
pie sore throat.
Salt in tepid water is a handy emetic.
AS an antidote for the poison silver
nitrate or lunar caustic give salt aAd
water freely.
For poisoning by alcohol an emetic or
warm salt and water should be given
and repeated often.
