A few months ago the administra-

would not support Mr.. Bryan and
hailed him as wise and patriotic
man who understood national ques-
tions thoroughly and was jealous Of
the national honor. But that was a
few months ago. Today they are cal

a late cable dispatch from Lon.
don says that medical men of that
Ant,au,ty of city have been
vastly amused at a
s"' ''e' hoax which. ac-
cording to numerous cables. appar-
entity has been played upon the Amer
lean pubic by some humorist who.
possessing ancient volumes of the
Lancet, has been making extracts
about the salt cure and selling the
same as up-to-tate copy. There is
nothing new in this cure. Medical
records show that Sir c. Wren prac-
ticed it successfully as early as 1856;
that Sir Spencer Wells and Sir Walter
Richardson used it extensively for
cholera in London in 1913 and 1S49,
while the experiments on dogs report
ed from Chicago are identical with
Richardson's experiments of 90 years
ago in London. The injection of a
salt solution is certainly wonder
ful remedy and has been used reg
ularly in the London hospitals for
many years. but the salt in the solu-
ton has neither nourishing nor slim
nlating effect. What happens is this:
When person loses beyond Il certain
proportion of blood the veins collapse
and little or no blood passes to the
heart. which stops beating. The
veins simply need more fluid. Two
thousand years ago it was discovered
that the blood of animals was some
times etficacious. but often dangerous
Pure water was tried, but it was
found that this injured the blood re-
naming in the veins, paralyZing the
muscles. AS it was known that the
blood contains considerable sodium
chloride. or common salt. Libavius eN-
perimented Herewith in 1915. The
mixture now used by British tSoc.ors
is: Chloride of sodium, 1 dram;
chloride of potassium. 6 grains; phos-
pirate of sodium, 3 grains; carbonate
of sodium, 90 grains; alcohol, 1 dram;
water, 1 Pint. This is warmed to
blood heat and upward of half pint
is injected into vein at the elbow.
In few seconds the heart becomes
refilled and again beats. In from
four to five minutes consciousness is
recovered. In cholera the blood thick
ems and ceases to flow. A pint or Two
of saline solution retluidizes it. though
it does not always save the life. Rich

ity necessary to have good effects is
couted as absurd. The result is
more likely to be harmful.

Attempted Assassination of the
President.

The attempted assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley by a sef-confessed an
arohist has stirred the world. From
every nation on earth has come mes
sages Of sympathy and hope. The
latest advices from the bedside of the
Resident are that he has splendid
chances to recover. The magnitude of
the act of the despicable wretch who
fired the shots are, however, not lessened
in the least by the Presidents condition.
The duties of the American people are
new plain. Stamp out anarchism in
Dis country once and forever.
Patterson, New Jersey. has long been
known to be nest hole of this vermin.
The laws of New Jersey do not seem to
be adequate for their control or expul-
sion. The United States Government
should take the matter in hand and if
necessary wipe the town of Patterson
off the map
Emma Goldman, the female leader of
the anarchist band, whose lectures and
teachings are said to have inspired the
wretch to assassinate Mckinley, should
not be tolerated in this country any
longer. Taking advantage of the pro-
tec5ion given by the men of this country
to her sex she has preached into the
shallow minds of these murderous iends
the doctrines of anarchy and murder.
Her sex should be no bar to her punish
ment. The American people are too
easy. They should rise en- masSe and
demand the expectation Of every an
archist to the country from which he
came, and see to it that none ever set
fOOt on our shores again.

The Apples That Eve Ate.

A FARMER living near Flat Rock pre-
cinct has an apple tree on his place
which is bearing an unusually large
crop this season. The fruit is of an ex-
ceptionally good eating varity, but
every apple is marked with a very pecu-
liar formation. On the right side of
each apple as it hangs on the tree is a
small depression as though piece had
been bitten out of it, even the marks of
the teeth showing. The owner of the
tree brought peck of them to town on
court day, and they are all marked the
same, and he saws every a pie on the
tree bears a similar mark. The farmer
claims the tree is a direct defendant of
the one in the garden of Eden from
which Eve plucked the apple which
caused all the trouble. He says since he
made the discovery the negroes working
on his farm cannot be induced to go into
his orchard at night, and will walk a
mile out of their way to avoid going near
