HOW TO INHALE.
Best Method of breathing Steam 1,
Cure Coughs.

Best Method OF Breathing Steam to
Cure Coughs.
During the winter months throat and
chest troubles are abundant, and the
victim is more often than not ordered
to inhale, says the Philadelphia Public
Ledger.
Inhalers are expensive things to buy,
and SO the ordinary substitute is jug
filed with fairly hot water. Over this
the patient sits, head and face envel-
oped in a towel, gasping and choking,
getting mouthful of steam, and then
raising the head in order to exhale,
taking In during the process several
mouthfuls of air.
This method does more harm than
good, causing violent coughing fits,
which irritate the throat and chest, and
making the patient more susceptible to
cold. If, therefore, instead of using the
jug common bedroom hot water can
is taken, well warmed and carefully
filed one-third full with boiling water,
to which, say, teaspoonful of eucalyp-
tus oil or whatever the doctor has or
dered has been added, capital inhaler
has been made.
Make tube of the stiffest notepaper,
place over the spout OF the can to serve
as a mouthpiece, raise the lid Of the
can the least little bit, and, placing the
mouth to the spout, the steam escapes
as 1t is breathed out through the lid.
It is most important not to fill the
can above the opening of the spout, or
a mouthful Of the boiling water win be
sucked in, with most disastrous results.
Avoid going into cold room after In
haling.

Exchange results from the diversity Of

Exchange results from the diversity OF
aptitudes of men or as we say the sub-d:-
vision of labor, and as industry becomes
more and more specialized the greater the
need to exchange.
Insurance, as an element, is necessary to
secure against loss from accident from fire,
and so renew from wear and tear by use,
as we'll as to insure greater facilities for
the future, such as education, public inn
provements, the public highways, protec-
tion to the mine, etc.
Now, in considering modern civilization
and the present industrial arrangement, we
have to deal with these five elements, and
believe that haye named them in the
order of their importance-lan labor,
capital, exchange and insurance.
When we have established the share that
should be apportioned to each, and organ
lied industry in accordance with these
laws, the social problem will be solved.
At present according to the United States
census report for 1890 the wages of labor
that creates the wealth, in the manufacture
ing industries, received II per cent. Of the
estimated value of product, the balance, OF
SO per cent. going to the other four ele-
newsstand, capital, exchange and insur-
ance Divided numerically among the
people so per cent. of the population who
perform all the useful service, received 20
per cent, while the other 40 per cent Of
the population who do nothing useful alb
sorb 80 per cent.
This estimate is based on the United
States census for 1890, showing the occupa-
tions Of men engaged in gainful pursuits in
the State of New Jersey, and it is but fair
toassume that it is fairly representative OF
the whole country.
Now this indicates the comprehension Of
present conditions thus far displayed by
he workers themselves. They organize,
strike aud make great noise about secur-
ing their rights. When they demand a 10
or Is per cent advance in wages, they
seem to entirely overlook the SO per cent
which, in the hands of capitalists, is used
as weapon to defeat them in their paltry
demands

that time and only last week did Mr.. Car

to wear short skirts while on duty. This

there from all sorts of homes, and from the
