EFFICACY OF THE ONION.
Apply 1t Outside and Inside and Cure
Cold

Apply 1t Outside and Inside and Cure
Cold.
The idea of an onion cure may not
strike the fancy of the aesthetic. How
ever, the experience of those who have
tried it is that it works wonders in re-
storing a racked system to its normal
state again. There are three kinds Of
doses in the onion cure, or three onion
cures, as you choose to put it. One is a
diet of onions, the other is onion plas-
tiers and the third is onion strip.
1t is claimed by those who believe in
the onion cure that bad cold can be
broken up if the patient will stay in
doors and feed on a liberal diet of
onions. 1t need not be an exclusive
diet, but liberal one. For instance.
an onion cure breakfast includes a
poached egg on toast, three tablespoon
fuls of fried onions and a cup of coffee.
Luncheon of sandwiches, made of Bos-
ton brown bread, buttered and filed
with finely chopped raw onions, sea-
soned with salt and pepper, makes the
second meal on the schedule. For sup
per the onions may be fried as for
breakfast and eaten with a chop and a
baked potato.
The strange efficacy of onions is we'll
known to the singers of Italy and
Spain, who eat them every day to i'm
prove the quality of their voices and
keep them smooth. Onion plasters are
prescribed to break up hard coughs.
They are made of fried onions placed
between two pieces of old muslin. The
plaster is kept quite hot until the pa
tent is snugly in bed, when it is placed
on the chest to stay overnight. Onion
strip is a dose that can be bought Of
any druggist and is claimed by some to
be unequaled as cure for cold in the
chest.
All this is probably quite true. For
to be done up with onions, both inside
and out, would be enough certainly to
chase out any self respecting cold

HORSE WHISPERERS.
Secret Methods That Were Used By
Irish Animal Tanners.

Secret Methods That Were Used by
Irish Animal Tanners.
Ireland, as we'll as the far north Of
Scotland, had-possibly still has-its
"horse whisperers," though the broth
erings" which give such permanence
and gcniality to the Scottish ''plow
mans whisper" never seem to have ex-
listed in the sister island. Irish "'whis.
perers" have been lonely men. whose
secret has generally died with them.
says the Golden Penny.
The most famous "whisperer" Of
modern times was James Sullivan of
Dunhallow. No horse was ever
brought to Sullivan which he did not
permanently tame. Ordinarily FESTIVE
animals he would master in few min
utes. For exceptionally vicious horses
he took about half an hour, during
which time he shut the staale door and
forbade any one to open it till he gave
the signal. When the door was opened
the horse was still lying down and
Sullivan by his side, playing with him
as a child does with puppy. There
was no tying up of the foreleg or any
other visible means Of coercion. How
his ascendency was obtained no one
could tell.
A successor of Sullivan named
O'Hara became almost equally famous,
and was often urged to explain what
was the secret of his influence. But
O'Hara treated his questioners as Sam
son did the Philistines, deluding them
with various and unsatisfactory an
swers. At one time, for instance. he
said the secret lay in rocking the
horse-putting one hand firmly on his
crupper, and with the other grasping
his shoulde- and then swaying him to
and fro, gently at, first and gradually
increasing The motion till you throw
him. At another time he protested that
his plan was to bite the animals ear.
Both these are well known jockey
tricks. The most stubborn horse, they
say, will be wholly subdued by being
thrown twice or thrice, and If you can
get vicious horses ear between your
teeth and bite hard you are his master
and he your submissive slave from that
time forward. AS to the idea that the
'whisperer" works by kindness, it
stands to reason that that method sup
poses the entire education of the ami
NAL to be in your hands. If you have
only half an hour to do your work in,
you must show overmastering power
as we'll as kindly feelings. A horse
whose temper has been spoiled by
chronic bad treatment looks on all men
alike as tyrants and DULLES.

eff your Vinol is such wonder

A remark heard in our store.
We answer: We advertise Vinol
because we have found it a good
thing.
We advertise Vinol under our
own name and with our own guar
antee, because it IS different from
the twenty medicines my friend
alluded to. For instance, it is not
a secret preparation. 1t is endorsed
by physicians. 1t has a surprising
record Of cures right here in town.
It has our absolute guarantee of
money back if you are not helped.
We advertise Vinol to increaseits
usefulness. We may repeat, but
we remember that the great Sena-
tor Benton said, "Ding-dong is the
most effective argument" meaning
that you have to say thing a good
many times before you can get
people to believe it.
Sowewant to say once more that
we believe Vinol will do effective

obscure troubles of irritable and

Whittier and His Admirers.

Few poets had more admirers among
women than Whittier had, and this ad-
miration frequently took personal form.
One day his sister, in her slow, Quaker
fashion, was describing these erup-
tons. "Thee hast no idea," she said
"of the time Greenleaf spends in trying
to lose these people on the streets.
Sometimes he comes home and says,
We'll, sister, had hard work to lose
him, but I have lost him." To this
Whittier pathetically added, "But can
never lose a her"

only the prosperity of the Swedes in Ne

cause OF enlightenment and education. One
Of the several speakers at the corner stone
laying pointed out the fact that the people
OF Sweden had always been noted for their
interest in and support of the cause of
learning, and cited some of the great names
OF Swedes that adorn not only the history
Of Sweden but Of the world. He called at
tention TO the fact that In Minnesota there
are over 1900 students of Scandinavian
parentage in the state university and that
40 per cent Of the students in the higher
institutions Of learning in Minnesota and
the two Dakotas are Of Scandinavian de-
