CURE FOR DELIRIUM
TREMENS IS FOUND
Disease May Be Speedily Wiped Out by
Simple Dose of CaIomeI.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 31.-"The
methods of the old-time doctor may be
laughed at great deal by men of
never and more progressive ways in
practice said a man who has a liking
sometimes inclined to think that the
laugh is on the other fellow. One of the
quickest and surest cures Of the Jim
jams ] ever saw in my life was brought
about by an old-time doctor in an old
time way, and do not doubt but that
the same remedy could be used to ad-
vantage by modern practitioners.
"The incident 1 have in mind hap
pened more than quarter of a CEN
tury ago, and the old man who figured
in 1T as doctor has long since passed
over on the other side. He was a typi-
cal physician of the old school. lived in
the country, carried his pillbags with
him all the time and dished out such
medicine as he gave right ON the spot
without that costly intermediary, the
prescription. / was aboard a steam
boat one day floating down the st.
Francis river in Southeastern Arkan-
saS and incidentally was on very UNI
pleasant run. had under my care a
patient who was suffering with one Of
the worst cases of 'jimjams' I ever saw
in my life. simply could not do a
thing that would in the least relieve the
situation. The patient was about to
worry the life out Of me. I was on the
verge of despairing when learned that
there was an older doctor aboard. /
had just began the practice of medicine,
and, of course, had much to learn. That
was the first hard lesson / had after
leaving my studies in the school room.
l went to the older physician and told
him of the trouble I was having and
| asked him what to do about it.
HELL he said, with a slight show of
petulance, give him calomel-give him
calomel, d--n it-that's the only thing
you can do
Il followed the old mans advice, and.
somewhat to my surprise, my patient
rounded to all right. Calomel saved my
patient from a continued run of hor-
rors, and put me in happier frame.of
mind, can assure you. Since that time
l have never been inclined to sheer at
the methods Of the fellows Of the old
school,"

men BECOME GIANTS
In West Virginia Where Six
Footers Are the Rule.

WHEELING, Va, Nov. 1.-At the
headwaters of the Elk and Holly rivers
where farms lie $500 feet above the
level of the sea, men grow to be giants.
Up there among the clouds tall men,
great poplars and giant oaks seem the
! rule and not the exception.
"a short time since, while travelling
up the Elk" said man just back from
that country, Il stopped at the most
commodious house I had seen and
asked for accommodations for myself
and my tired horse. A man ripe with
years, tall-he was six feet four and
one half inches in height-and of COM
manding presence, greeted me pleas
antly.
at noticed that there was crowd at
his house and took 1t for granted that
neighborhood meeting was being
held until told by my host, Clarence
Gregory. that it was merely a family
reunion and that his thirteen boys
and one daughter, with their families,
made I'D the crowd. The thirteen sons
were all more than six feet tall, some
Of them six feet six inches, and
weighed more than 1870 pounds each.
ION the day following crossed the
top of the mountains at the head OF
Leatherwood, where reside Benjamin
Hamrick and his nine remarkable sons.
Benjamin Hamrick. the father, is 6 feet
~ inches in height and weighs 1876
pounds. Arnold, the oldest son, is 6
feet IL inches and weighs 1853. The
others are Isaac. 6 feet 5& inches,
weight 200 pounds; Adam, 8 feet 8
inches. weight 1853; William, feet 1
inch, weight 161; Eli, feet inches,
weight 1876; Simpson, 6 feet IN inches,
weight ITS; Felix, feet 2 inches,
weight 1853; Ellis, 6 feet inches,
weight 226, and George, feet 8 inches,
weight $50 pounds.
There are, it is said, more than 100
Hamrick voters In the county and
every one of them is more than six
feet in height.
Yankee Bill Hamrick, one of three
men of Webster county, who wore the
blue through the Civil war, lives at the
top of Point Wilton, at an elevation of
$500 feet above the sea. His family
consists Of his wife, eleven sons and
four daughters. All Of his sons exceed
six feet in height, while Mr.. Hamrick
is six feet four inches. Owing to his
extraordinary likeness to the martyred
president he is frequently spoken Of as
the Lincoln Of the Elk river valley"

II ls understood that President Roose-

agree 10 the commission by the threat
OF proceeding against them under the
Interstate and antitrust statutes. As
the price OF coal has been advanced by
the trust, In spite OF the staying OF the
strike, much beyond the price In former
years, the administration would seem
To be responsible for the high price IL
no steps are taken TO bring the trust
To time. II fear Of the threat OF tho
president was sufficient TO make them
agree 10 allow commission TO be ap-
pointed, the same power could force
the trust to stop bleeding the public by
the high price of coal.
Neither President Roosevelt nor the
coal trust operators need think that the
coal consumers Will be satisfied until
they are furnished coal Mt "A reasonable
