A Simple Cure For Earache.

towel and tuck it around the neck ;
then with a teaspoon fill the ear with

ear orifice and flow over on the towel
Afterward turn over the head, let the
water run out and plug the ear with

Twenty years ago 1t was est. .ua ted
that 100000 persons crossed London
bridge daily, 10000 on foot and the
rest in vehicles. With the growth OF
population these numbers have almost
doubled, IN spite of the relief afforded
by the building of the Tower bridge,
half a mile down stream.
1t has therefore become an urgent
matter to increase the capacity of the
older bridge. and it has now been de-
cided to accomplish this by means of
granite corbels which will carry the
footways as projections over the wa

why Rabbits Do Not XIII.

Cheese to be digestible should be
cooked, says scientific cook. Some
people think it is only a fad to put
grated cheese on crackers and cook
them In the oven, but that is an excel
lent way of preparing this food. The
Welsh rarebit, or rabbit. if properly
made, is another good way of cooking
cheese and is more digestible than the
piece of cheese we eat with apple pie.
When adding cheese to dish. do not
sprinkle it in layers, but melt it thor"
oughly in heated butter. Cheese to be
digestible should be crumpled finely OF
grated, if eaten raw, and when cooked
should be dissolved with milk or broth

LUKE M'LAUGHLIN, AGED
1O3, DIES AT MUSCATINE

At the family home on Front street,
Thursday afternoon at , O'Clock, oc-
Cured the death of Luke McLaugh-
lin, an aged citizen who had passed
the century mark in the cycle of life,
says the Muscatine News-Tribune.
Deceased was born in Gaillahen par
ish, Galway county, Ireland, in 1899,
and was therefore 1913 years of age at
the time of his death. He was mar
ried to his wife. who survives him,
March II, 1924. Three children were
born to them, but all preceded the
aged parent in death. The aged help
meet of the departed husband is also
very old and is in feeble health. The
funeral will take place from st. Mat
thias church Saturday at o'clock
a. m.
Mr.. Mclaughlin was quite a noted
character of the city, on account of
his claim to extreme age and the pc
culiar yet harmless eccentricities of
the old gentleman. Different accounts
are given of his age, but the most au-
thentic perhaps is his own statement,
in which he declares he was 80 years
old at the time of the big wind in
Ireland. This would make him over
100 years old. The aged couple re-
sided in their own property opposite
the freight depot, and having no near
relatives to assist at a time of be-
reavement, William Purcell came to
the house and took charge of every
thing pertaining to the burial obse-
quies of the husband.
