then take from the stove and set the
dish or kettle where it will cool as rap

until it has become quite n thick wax,
and then with n paddle or stout spoon
stir until white and hard. An addition
OF hickory-nut meats to the wax before
stirring greatly improves it for some

in preventing it becoming grainy. To

Committee giving his views additional
Importance.
! Senator HOar was born in Concord
Mass, August 20, 1926, and was edu-
Gated at Concord Academy and at Har-
ward where he vas graduated in 1916.
He served in the Massachusetts House
of Representatives and Senate before
being elected to the Federal Congress
in 1863. The long public career Of
Senator Hoar has been associated
with many momentous events In the
nations history. He was a member Of
the committee to investigate the
Union Pacific Railroad management
and the famous Credit Mobilier. He
was also member of the committee
to investigate the conduct of Speaker
Blaine in connection with the So-callel
Mulligan letters. AS one Of the mana
gers on the part of the House in the
impeachment Of Secretary Belknap,
Mr.. Hoar made an argument that at
tracted the attention Of the country.
He was one Of the electoral commits
sion which was appointed to determine
the Hayes-Tlden Presidential contest
in 1876.
Mr.. Hoar has been a leading figure
In many important Republican Nation
al Conventions The position OF min
lister to England was offered to him by
President Hayes. and also by President
"a {D1 Dpoci1nnt
offered him the place Of Attorney Cen
eraI in his cabinet. All these Mr..
Hoar declined.
OF the present members OF the Sen
ate only two were In that body when
Mr. Hoar entered in 1S77-Allison of
Iowa, and Cockrell Of Missouri. Sen
ator Morgan of Alabama became
member at the same time Mr.. Hoar
entered the Senate. Neither Mr.. Nor
gan nor Mr. Cockrell, the latter OF
whom came to the Senate in 1879, had
previously been member Of the
House. Mr.. Allison had served in the
House eight years before he became
Senator, in 1873, but he was out OK
public life two years (from 1871 until
he went to the Senate, so that, while
his actual service in both branches OF
Congress has been longer by four
years than that of Mr. Hoar, It has not
been continuous.
No other man in the history Of Mas
sachusetts has for so many years rep
resented that State in the United
States Senate as Mr.. Hoar. He has
served as Senator for twenty-seven
years, four years longer than Charles
Sumner, who at the time of his death,
in 1874, had been a Senator twenty
three years.

The treatment appropriate for an
attack Of acute bronchitis. or cold on
the chest, varies somewhat according
TO the stage of the disease.
In the beginning the mucous men,
brane of the bronchial tubes is con-
gested and swollen and usually quite
dry. The secretion Of phlegm is scan
ty, and the cough, which may be very
teasing in character, brings up but
little eXpectoration. There is general
~ some pain in the chest or at least a
feeling of soreness and n rasping sem
sation while coughing; and the OBJ
Struction to the bronchial tubes by the
swollen mucous membrane. and per-
haps plugs of thick phlegm, gives rise
to more or less difficulty in breathing
The aim Of treatment at this stage
Is to loosen" the cough by bringing
about an increased secretion. This is
best effected by warm drinks and the
inhalation of warm yapor, medicatcd
or not, as may be thought best. Hot
lemonade (without whisky, hot milk
or simple hot water, slipped as hot as
can be borne, will render good SER
vice.
/ The patient Of course should remain
in the house; and preferably in one
room with q warm, equabIe Temporal
ture, so as to avoid exposure while
perspiring. If the attack is at all Sc
we're much time will be saved by going
4 m hp1 Go,
much pain or soreness, rubbing the
chest with some liniment will afford
! relief; but sometimes cloths Wrung out
! of hot water and sprinkled with four
or five drops of turpentine, or else thin
! tlaNseed pOultices will work better. In
/ halations Of warm vapor from a Group
kettle or from a pitcher of boiling wat
er are often required. \ teaspoonful
of the compound tincture Of benzoin or
some oil Of eucalyptus may be added
to the boiling water.
At the onset the patient should take
a mild purgative, and attention must
be given to the bowels throughout the
attack. Later, when the cough is loose
and the secretion abundant, the treat
ment must be sustaining; the patien
should have plenty of good, subStan
tial food, and should drink freely o.
cool water.
Sometimes drugs in the form of so
called eXTectorants are needed in the
early stages, and others to check Sc
erection in the later stages, but all
cough mixtures are more or less bad
for the stomach and are to be avoided
if possible; and especially bad are
paregoric and other preparations of
opium. They are sometimes necessary
in certain cases, but what these cases
are must be left to the doctor to de-
eide

LONG AND NOTABLE CAREER.

George Frisbie Hoar, the senior SEN
ltor from Massachusetts, has completed
his thirty-hve years of service in the
halls of Congress. The venerable

House Of Representatives March 4,

his seat in the United States Senate,
where he has remained ever since.
Despite the fact that he has passed the
seventy milestone along lifes
path. Senator Hoar is in the fullness
Of his great intellectual powers. and
stands, az lawyer, orator, scholar and
statesman, by common consent, at the
head Of the American Senate.

and industrious in the discharge Of his
duties as a Senator, both In the commit

the floor of the Senate. He usually
takes leading part in debates only
upon those measures which have been
under the supervision OF his commit
tees, but his voice is frequently heard
In all general discussions in which the
Senate may engage. His occasional
orations on great public questions
such as the Philippines issue and the
Panama canal treaty, have been pro-
auctions of the highest order, sustain

A Real Evil.

fed statement to the Democracy OF
the nation says:
I'm the presence OF n defeat that
would take away all personal ambition

sessed mel do not hesitate TO say
that In my opinion the greatest moral
question which now confronts US is.
Shall the trusts and corporations be
prevented from contributing money to

tions:'
The Republican victory is too general
and too overwhelming to be attributed
To the use of money.
Nevertheless the evil which Judge
Parker refers to Is as real rs il the
majority against him were measured
by a single electoral vote. A former
official inquIsitor Of corporations should
not be a collector OF campaign tribute
from corporations. Trusts and cor
