ORIGIN OF THE DHooslERs."

Thomas Taggart, who may be ac-
eepted as an authority on the subject,
tells a picturesque story of the origin
of the word Hoosier.
when the first settlers" he says,
"came to Indiana from the Carolinas
and Kentucky they built their little
log cabins along a common road, and
as the cabins all looked alike, it be-
came the custom for any one seeking
friends to go along the road calling
out at each cabin: Who's here?' From
this the original settlers came to be
known as Hoosiers."

HOW TO TREAT A sPRAIN.
Insist on Perfect Fest Before Arrival

of Doctor.
The question of how to treat a
sprain is often raised. Everybody
understands the nature of a sprain;
that wrenching of a joint whereby
some of the ligaments (those very
useful bands which unite the bones
forming the joint are violently
stretched, or perhaps even ruptured.
This kind of injury is rarely, except
through unusual complications, dan
gerous in its nature, but it is certain
ly very painful, and when Of a serious
nature. may result in the permanent
impairment of the joint. Such an in
jury, if at all severe, is Immediately
followed by marked swelling Of the
parts, and prompt attention should be
given anticipating the surgeons com
ing.
The very first item in the treatment
Of sprain is perfect rest Of the limb
until a doctor can be summoned. Re
duce the swelling by applications OF
hot lamentations, as hot as can be en-
dured; change about once in every
three hours If piece of oilskin be
not at hand, use common newspaper.
Wind It carefully outside the hot
cloth; this will prevent the escape Of
the steam, and prevent the cloth from
cooling. A good way to save the hands
from being scalded is to place the hot,
dripping flannel in towel. then, TAX
ing hold Of each end Of the towel, To
wiring it until the flannel is dry
enough to apply.

Sir Percy Sanderson. the British
consul general in New York, was talk

"As good description of weak soup

lowly lips of poor woman in the
east end OF London. She was desti-
tute last winter, and a parish visitor
advised her to apply for soup at a
neighboring soup kitchen.
"She got some soup, but she did
not like it. This is what she said Of
it to the visitor when he called next
day:
DO you call that stuff soup? Why,
all they do is to get a quart OF water
and boil 1t down to a pint to make Il
