ABOUT CHRONIC BRONCHITIS
Hope for Relief Lies Mainly in Proper
Diet and Hygienic OBJ
%servances.

After repeated attacks Of acute bron-
chitis, especially in those past the mid
die of life, there is a tendency for the dis
ease to become established as a chronic
affection. When this occur a perfect
cure is hardly to he expected, unless, per-
haps, the patient is able to take up his
residence permanently in a warm eli
mate. Even when a cure appears to have
been effected the mucous membrane OF
the bronchial tubes remains vulnerable.
and very slight causes will then bring
about a return OF the trouble, says
Youths Companion.
There is usually more or less cough
accompanied by thick expectoration, es-
p~ecially in the morning. Sometimes the
chest is sore, and coughing excites a
rasping pain. The heavy cough, return
ing in repeated attacks and finally be-
coming almost constant, at least from
early summer well on into the autumn,
at last cause a dwilatation Of the air-cells
in the lungs. This condition-pulmon-
airy emphysema, as II is called-induces
a sort Of asthma In which expiration is
difficult, longer than usual, and accom-
panied by more or less wheeling.
There is usually little to do for chronic
bronchitis In the way Of drugs. The So
called expectorants or cough mixtures
are needed, asa rule, only when there
is a fresh cold caught on top of the chron-
ic condition. At such times the cough
may become racking and incessant and
call for quoting remedies. Cod-liver Oil
is almost always good for these patients,
unless It spoils the appetite. When it
cannot be borne,-and when It can also,
the sufferer should eat plenty Of butter
and use cream freely.
When the patient is equity, a not un-
usual contingency, an antigout regimen
should be adopted. II possible, the
colder part of the year should be spent
in a war; climate. The dry air Of the
interior is preferable to the damp east
winds Of the Atlantic coast; but as the
heart may be affected secondarily to the
lung trouble or to the kidney trouble
which is frequently associated with it,
the high attitudes, such as the Rocky
mountain region, are to be visited with
caution,
AS wiz be seen from the general line
Of treatment indicated, hope for suffer-
ers from chronic bronchitis lies in doing
all that is possible to keep the general
condition built up by hygienic living and
a generous diet.

Mr.. Fowler, of Anderson, s. c., has
500 acres in cotton from which he ex-
poets to get 500 bales. On this farm
there are 20 acres from which he ex-
poets at least 40 baales, with a possible
ity Of GO. This 20 acres was plowed
very deep, and Mr.. Fowler says the cot
ton upon it never knew that there was
any dry spell last spring.
Mr.. Fowler was asked the other day
how he made such crops.
Deep blowing is the main thing
he said, "and heavy fertilizing comes
next. After You break your land deep
in the winter the rest comes easy.
Take this field here. / opened fur
rows 10 inches deep in January, and
put stable manure in the burrows at
the rate of two tons to the acre, and
then covered the burrows. then let
it alone until | got ready to plant, and
in bedding | put in commercial ferti-
lizer at the rate of 1900 pounds to
the acre. Then there was little to
do but let the cotton grow. II re-
celved very little blowing and hoelng.
We had but little rain, but the cotton
did not suffer a day, as the deep plow-
ing had provided plenty of moisture
The above quotation from Mr., Fow-
Ter shows that it pays to plow deep in
preparing the land for any crop. 1t
shows that there IS more in the mar
than there is in the land. Ii the rest
Of his farm work had been treated in
the same name it would have pro-
duced the same results.
The lesson we wish to draw from
the above is that any farmer can
bring his farm up to a high state Of
production, and that it will pay a
large percent. of profit on the cost of
doing so. Break deep and harrow fine
in the fall of the year.-Southern Cul-

Too Much Salt Kills Hogs.

From time to time we hear about
hogs being killed as the result of salt
and brine. One man says that in his
vicinity tho ice cream makers threw
out the salt from the free2ers and the
hogs ate it and died. Other hogs also
drank the brine from 1t and died.
There is no necessity of putting the
matter to the test. A little salt is a
good thing, but there is no doubt that
a great deal Of salt will kill almost
any animal. There would seem to be
no mystery connected with the killing
of pigs by salt when it is eaten in
large quantities Farmers Review.

Very Fine Entertainment Yesterday
 Evening -Minstrels Next Week.
 The January entertainment of the Y. M. C. A. course was most successfully given yesterday evening in Foy audito- rum. The attraction was the Lincilns iii their pictorial travelegues. The i large audience was extremely enthusi- astic over the lecture and particularly pleasing were the moving pictures.
 The lectures of George S Lincoln are at once entertaining and instructive. His experience as traveller has en- abled him to grasp his subjects in a masterful way, and his audiences bene- fit thereby. Mrs. Lincoln at the piano is indispensable to the evenings enter tainment. She is true artist and mu- sician.
 This afternoon and evening the regu- lar rehearsals for the minstrel show to be given next week are to take place as usual. The rehearsal Friday evening of this week is to be a very important one.
 The chorus of the minstrel part of the programme has been augmented by the addition of several young ladies.

 playing of the whist and the dancing which followed. The armory presented a most attractive and busy scene. The superb decorations which had been ar ranged for the Junior promenade on

 resented by the eight tables which were
 being played immediately under each respective shield. They were all of the countries of this continent and also of Europe. Many of the players were cos tuned in manner which represented the countries participating in the games. Diamonds was the trump of the evenings play.
