To OUR mind the most sensible solu-
ton of the primary election bill SQUAD
BILE that has come to our notice is
the following offered by The Appleton
Post: 1--WE incline to the belief that
the concensus of public opinion will not
uphold the position OF those who.
like Mr.. Adams, advocate the adoption
of the primary election bill in it's en-
tirety, nor Of those who, like Mr.
Monahan, would have it rejected ia It's
entirety. At all events, the view en-
tertained by this paper is that the
public interests will be best subserved
by material concessions on both sides.
That is to say, a bill simply providing
for choosing delegates to all conven-
tons at primary elections would, In
our opinion, be in the interest Of real
aud needed reform. The evils Of our
present system have their origin main
" In the caucus and the adjustment
of that institution would cause their
disappearance for the most part.
Delegates chosen by popular vote
would be as representative ss possible
and would undoubtedly make nomina-
tions more satisfactory to the people
than if they should act themselves.
Let an end be made of the caucus, bu
let the convention, which would thus
be saved y

Pneumonia Can be Prevented.

This disease always results from a cold
or an attack of the grip and may be
prevented by the timely use of Cham

was extensively used during the epi-

years, and not single case has ever
been reported that did not recover or
that resulted in pneumonia, which shows
1t to be certain preventive of tina
dangerous disease Chamberlain

Secret of Living in Salt.

There is saline solace for persons
with feeble heart action in the discoy-
cry announced by Profs. Loeb and
Lingle, of the University of Chicago.
1t may be that the salt trust can touch
the heart that even the joyous Christ
mastide will not open. If these dis
coveries prove to be all that is claimed
for them a "pinch of salt" will be all
that is necessary to stir a sluggish
heart to action.
AS result of q years experimental
ton these professors have discovered
that the salt in the blood in certain pro-
portions is the cause of the heart beat.
They have found that certain electric
currents caused by the salt solution
furnish the life-prolonging principle
which works upon the auricular and
ventricular muscles and keep the heart
in motion. 1t is easy to see that such
discovery, if based upon scientific ex-
actitude, must reveal the secret OF the
prolongation of life. Indeed, it is
claimed by Profs. Loeb and Lingle
that the salt solution, injected into
blood, will renew suspended heart &C.
ticn.
What causes the heart to pulsate has
been the subject of investigation and
speculation on the part of scientists for
centuries. We know that the life prin-
ciple is conferred in the rhythmic &C
ton" of the heart. 1t follows that il
the causes of this rhythmic action can
be discovered, man will get very near
to the secret that has puzzled the phil
osophers Of the ages. 1t satisfies the
average mind to say that the blood

Fifty-One Years an Active Preacher.

Forty-one years ago, had one gone
into the Church street Methodist church
on Sunday morning, a tall, symmet.
rical man would have been seen in the
pulpit, fluent of speech, with a muiseal
voice, graceful of gesture, who never
failed to captivate his audience. His
eloquence flowed easily, naturally, and
at times poured itself out in irresistible
torrents. He was one of the most pop
ular preachers in the Holston confer
ence, noted then for the number of its
strong men. His name was David
Sullins.
Yesterday morning before the begin
ming of the regular morning service at
the Church street Methodist church,
Rev. DR.. Monk, the popular pastor,
stepped down from his pulpit and spoke
to tall man, who stands remarkably
erect, and escorted him into the pulpit.
His locks have been whitened by the
frosts of more than three score and ten
winters. His voice is still musical, his
utterances are still emphasized by an
old time JUNCTION, he is still fluent Of

press his thoughts most impressively.

A Cow Tale.

making six calves from one COW in

gal son, Jim, had come home from

fatted calf, and overdid the thing.

causes the heart to ''beat," but the
scientist goes further than this. He
desires to know what is in the blood
that causes the heart rhythm.
In his experiments Prof. Loeb found
that rhythmic contraction can be pro.
duced at will in the stripped muscle of
the frog by the action of a single salt
solution. The scientific something
that causes the heart to pulsate is be-
lieved to be sort of electrical current
which is set up between two elements
in salt-sodium and chlorine. One
carries positive charge of electricity
while the other carries q negative
charge.

o. b., no man ought to sit up nights
worrying about his heart action. 1t is
well known that chloride of sodium,
or common salt, is the greatest of all
reservations given by nature to man.
1t is absolutely essential to human ex-
istence. 1t would not be strange at all
therefore, if it should be found to bear
some vital relation to the pulsations of
the human heart. : Chicago Times
