FRUIT INSTEAD OF DRUGS.
Druggists Would Starve If People
Would Lat More Apples.

Druggists Would Starve If People
Would Lat More Apples.
Many Of our common fruits are just
as useful and much nicer than doctors
prescriptions. The apple, for instance.
Not only is the apple an excellent puri-
fer Of the blood, but it is cure for
dysentery, and has also the peculiar
effect Of restoring an intoxicated person
to sObriety. A diet Of stewed apples,
eaten three times a day. has worked
wonders in cases of confirmed drunken
ness, giving the patient an absolute
distaste for alcohol in any form.
The pineapple is another fruit most
valuable in throat affections. Indeed,
it has saved many life Of diph-
theritic patient. The juice squeezed from
a ripe pineapple Is the finest thing In
the world for cutting the fungus-likc
membrane which coats the throat In
diphtheria and II used in time never
fails to cure.
After severe attack Of Influenza
the throat Is often relaxed and the tom
sils painful. An old-fashioned remedy
still In use in many parts Of the west
of England Is a conserve Of roses. This
is sort of jam made from the hips Of
the common wild rose. 1t Is not un-
pleasant In taste and certainly possesses
strong astringent properties.
To eat a grape minute for an hour
at time, and to repeat this perform
ance three or four times a day, eating
very little else meantime but dry bread
may seem a monOtOnOus way of spend
ing the time. This treatment works
wonders for people whose digestions
have got out of order from worry or
overwOrk 1t is no mele quack prescrip-
ton, but Il form of cure recognized and
advised by many well-known physi-
digestible of any fruit in existence.
A cordial made from blackberries Is
greatly recommended by the Devon
shire country folk as cure for collie,
and many farmers wife makes black
berry cordial as regularly as elderberry
wine. The latter, heated and mixed
with little cinnamon, Is one Of the
best preventives known against a chill.
The flowers, too, Of the elder come in
useful. An ointment made by layering
them In mutton suet and olive oil Is
most soothing In case of bOils. Nova
days doctors forbid equity patients to
eat any kind Of sweet foods, but rec.
ommend them to eat at least a dozen
walnuts day. There Is no doubt that
walnuts are most useful to equity SUBJ
jects, or In cases of chronic rheumatism.
Swelling goes down and pain decreases.

DUMPS ARE LARGE.
Unusual Amount of Winter Work
in Nome District.

in Nome District.
Seattle, Feb. 26.-An unusual
amount of winter Dnining is in progress
at Nome, according to letter just re-
ceived by John Sebastian from Capt.
Spiney. The latter wrote under date of
December 8. He stated that at that
time there had been very little cold
weather, and that double the number
of men ever employed in the Nome dis
trict during the winter were taking out
dumps. There would be washed up in
the spring in advance of the arrival Of
the first boats, thus giving them large
amounts of treasure for their return
voyage. Capt. Spinney is superintend-
ent of the Sesnon Lighterage company
and is also directing the operation of
the mines owned by Mr.. Sesnon. The
latter lives in San Francisco, but is
now in this city.

TO FIT THE CASE
DEMOCRATS BLOCK PROCEEDINGS
OF THE HOUSE.
Republicans Bring in New Rules
Which Will Probable Enable
Them to Pass Appropriation
Bills, but Minor Legislation is
Doomed.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The Demo-
Gratis of the house carried out their
threat of Thursday, that i Mr.. Butler,
of Missouri was unseated they would do
everything in their power to block leg
islation from now on until congress ex-
pires on March 4. The result was an
other stormy session, and at every
pause party passion manifested itself
in bitter and acrimonious denuncia-
ton. Two special rules were brought
in to expedite appropriation bills and
continue the legislative day in order to
reduce as much as possible the minor
ity's power to obstruct legislation.
During the debate on the rule, the
Democrats voiced their condemnation
of what they denounced as Thursday s
outrageous action of the chair. The
Republicans declared that they were
willing to assume the responsibility for
what they had done, and explained the
necessity for the drastic rules adopted.
Mr. Dalzell said that unless this
course was pursued the Democrats could
consume 1877 hours, or 81 legislative
days, on roll calls on the senate amend
ments to the appropriation bills.
1t was agreed on both sides that the
present situation sounded the death
knell of practically everything except
the appropriation bills. The friends
of the omnibus public building bill,
who Thursday were threatening to de-
feat the rules if they we're not modified
to include their measure, were placated
by a promise that their bill would be
covered by special rule, to be brought
in later.
Even with the special rules in oper-
alton, getting the appropriation bills
into conference was tedious and la
borious process, an eight-hour session
and thirteen roll calls being necessary
to get the sundry civil, military and
postoffice appropriation bills into con-
ference and to adopt the conference on
the Indian appropriation bill.
All overtures from the Republican
side to the Democrats to induce the lat
ter to abandon their filibuster have been
fruitless, and there is every indication
that they will continue their present
tactics to the end of the session.
