AN OLD FASHIONED REMEDY.
Simple Method For Preventing Blood POisin-
ing From Bites or Wound.

The following has been handed us
for publications ''Here is simple
but never-failing cure for wounds
made by rusty nails, bites of angry
animals, felOns, wounds made by dle-
works, inhamed and poisoned flesh
wounds generally, l have myself
saved several lives of persons and also
of horses from wounds in the feet and
from stepping on rusty nails, and one
man from death from the bite of an
angry cat, where blood poisoning
threatened a quick death. 1t is an old
Indian remedy known in our family
for several generations and used so
successfully that we have never had
felOn or sore develop, as we used the
cure in time. [ am very anxious to
have the remedy known; [ wish it
might reach every family in the lands
Every time [ hear of death from lock-
jaw caused by rusty nail 1 feel guilty
IN not trying to tell the people this
simple and sure cure. Here is the
remedy: Put equal parts of good fresh
wood ashes and hot water i'll pail or
pan large enough to more than cover
the hand or foot hurt. Keep it in some
time, and when water cools put fresh
water IN as hot as can comfortably be
used, sometimes renewing ashes and
hot water both. After a short time a
soothing sense of relief from pain will
come, but keep the treatment going
on until the pain is soothed, the in
flammation gone and the pus comes
from the wound and the flesh is white
and wrinkled as from hot suds. We
keep bag of good wood ashes in our
home for time of need"

MET TO SETTLE BOUNDARY QUESTION.
Governors and Committees of Delaware and
New Jersey Confer IA Philadelphia.

A conference to determine an amic-
able settlement to the boundary dis
pute between New Jersey and Della
ware in the Delaware river was held
in Philadelphia Thursday morning by
representatives appointed by the Legis-
latnre of the two States.
For the last twenty-five years the
dispute has been going on, and at the
solicitation OF the New Jersey author
tiles a committee was appointed to
meet like committee from this State
to see what could be done toward max
ing a peacable and mutual settlement.
The Delaware committee is COM
posed of Governor Hum, Attorney
General Ward and George H. Bates,
and the New Jersey committee com
prises Governor Murphy, Attorney
General Thomas NJ. McCarter and Ed
win G. Stokes. These are the commit
tees which held the conference in the
Lawyers Club Thursday morning.
As soon as the committee had been
named in this State a meeting of the
fishermen, whom it will affect most,
was called at Delaware City, and the
matter explained to them by the Attor-
ney- General and their ideas regarding
a boundary secured.
1t seemed to be the general impress
sion of the fishermen that the rivers
should be a free fishing ground for
persons in both States, although by
the title of the Duke of York to Will
liam Penn the river within a 12-mile
circle from the old court house in New
Castle was decided to Delaware.
Many troubles have arisen between
the fishermen of the two States, and
Delaware fishermen have been subject,
ed to many indignities by New Jersey
authorities, who claim half the river
as a boundary line.

PREPARATIONS FOR COLLINS TRIAL.
Ordeal of Elmer Collins, the Young Farmer
Charged With Killing His Wife Draws Near.


Preparations for the trial of Elmer
Collins for the murder of his wife, AL
ola Collins, have been made and started
at Georgetown Monday. The prosecu-
tiOn will be made by Attorney General
Ward and his deputy, Robert H. Rich
ards. 1t was rumOred that the case
would again be postponed, but Deputy
Attorney General Richards, when
seen, said it would be placed on trial
Monday.
The case has attracted a great deal
of attention throughout the State and
as expected the largest crowd George
town has ever seen was present
Monday.
There are about 100 witnesses to be
heard or both sides and the trial will
be long one. All of Collins rela-
tives and some of his friends in and
around Laurel believe in his innocence,
but many of his neighbors are against
him.
While all of Collins relatives will
impOverish themselves in an endeavor
to obtain his freedom, at least one
half the neighbOrs are against him.
The trial will draw perhaps the larg-
est crowd Georgetown has ever seen
and the immediate vicinity of the his
tOric old court house will resemble a
county fair rather than trial wherein
a man may lose his life.
An interesting feature of the trial
will be that Charles F. Richards is
associated with Robert G. White as
counsel for Collins, while Deputy
AttOrney-General Robert H. Richards,
son of the former, will assist Attorney
General Herbert H. Ward in prosecut-
ing.

spared to the State, valuing each. as
they do, at $1,000, would mean 800.

HOUSE BILL PROVIDING
FOR SANATORIUM KILLED
SPEAKER ANTHONY DECLARED 1T LOST BE.
CAUSE 1T LACKED THREE -FOURTHS VOTE.
DR.. John j. Black, the Physician and Author,
Made Vigorous Address For 1t Before
the House Wednesday Afternoon.

DIR, John j. Black, the physician
and author, who has made such a deep
study of the subject of tuberculosis
and the treatment of consumptives.
made one of the most eloquent pleas
OF the session before the House of
Representatives Wednesday afternoon
IN support of the bill for a sanitorium
for consumptives.
"Only the other day, gentleman, "
said the physician, "a woman came to
me whom l soon discovered to be suf-
tering from consumption. [ knew
that her disease could be cured, for
consumption, gentlemen, is now cur
able. But we have no place to treat
her in this State. and was about to
shake my head and say to her:
go home, and may God have mercy
upon you"
Suddenly the woman informed me
that she was resident of Pennsyl-
vania. Then I said to her: ''Thank
God; you can and will be cured, and
committed her to the consumptive
sanatorium at White Plains, Pa. For
tunately for her and her children she
was a native of Pennsylvania. Oh,
how unfortunate it is for the poor
sufferer to be a native of Delaware,
with no haven of rest, with no balm
IN Gilead; despised and rejected of
men.
'Since 1882, when Robert Koch,
discovered the tubercle bacillus, this
monster disease has gone down in the
battle. 1t can be conquered, for after
all consumption Is caused by germs.
This tubercle bacillus is it's whole
cause. 1t is not alone dangerous TO
the person afflicted; it is disseminated
through splitting, the winds take up
the germs and blow them into the
nostrlls and air passages of healthy
men 4
