CATFISH CURE FOR wHOoPlNG COUGH

Philadelphia Record ''Noseguy."
"Snoh severe CASE of whoopine.
coueh in a child so young [ have never
seen before, :" remarked one motherly
woman to another. Continuing, she
said: why, sometimes the little tot
coughs for ID minutes at stretch, and
every minute you'd think blood vessel
was going to burst. ~
At this iuncture her companion re-
marked: Just tell her mother to get
o cattish-a live one-and when the
child is coughing she must hold the
fish close to it's face SO that the little
one will cough in the fish g mouth. 1t
may be superstitious, but I've never
known it to fail--a cure always follows.
Who're l live, in Wilmington, there's
q woman who keeps tish stall-Mrs.
Murden, her name Island a more
charitable person you never knew. She
has large tub filled with catfish,
which she keeps primarily, | suppose,
for sao; nut she gives 'em away by
the dozen when whooping cough is
epidemic, aud she tells me, too, that
she mas never heard OF a case that was
not promptly cured by using catfish. "

Dental postoiioes yielded SIG, 063, 252,
while tho 70, 4T9 fourth class postollices
produced SIS, 9l3. 519. Mr.. johnson says
the fact that the postal service in the

be three times greater than 10 the
smaller cities and five times as large

NO COAL FOR DELAWARE CITY,
Pennsylvania Railroad Co.'S Purchase
Land Hud No Significance.

Pennsylvania Railroad Co.'S Purchase OF
Land Had No Significance.
There is little basis for story which
has been goirg the rounds, that the
Pennsylvania railroad has acquired
wharf property at Delaware City and
will establish at that point large coal
shipping plant, principally for export
business, says the Philadelphia Record.
The Pennsylvania has no intention
whatever OF doing SO. The facts in the
matter are that the Summit Branch
Coal Co. has for years owned a small
wharf property at Delaware City, which
it would willingly have disposed of at
almost and price could it have sepured a
purchaser. Under the recent foreclosure
sale of the Summit Branch Co. this
wharf, together with other property of
the company, was purchased by John
@. Wilson, real estate agent of the
Pennsylvania railroad, presumably in
the interests of that company. IL was
the filing of the deed for record that no
doubt suggested the story.
