Small warts on children's hands
when they appear in numbers can be
got rid Of certainly and painlessly by
keeping them constantly moist with
lotion made by adding two drains OF
dilute nitric acid to one pint Of water.
One Of the latest ideas is that celery
is cure for rheumatism. 1t is as
serted that the disease is impossible
If the vegetable be cooked and freely
eaten. The celery should be cut into
pieces and boiled in water until soft,
and the water drunk by the patient.
Put new milk, with little -four and
nutmeg, into a saucepan with the
boiled celery, serve it warm with
pieces Of toast, eat it with potatoes,
and the painful ailment will soon yield.
Such is the declaration Of a physician
who mas again and again tried the ex-
pertinent, and with uniform success.
The uric-acid theory of govt gives
the dietetic treatment as the elimina-
ton Of all heterogeneous or albuminous
principles from the food. To this diet
should be added natural mineral wa
tiers. The medicinal treatment con-
sists Of alkalies and purgatives. The
quinate Of piperazine is considered the
best remedy. While it is not so rapid
in it's effect in relieving the pain of an
acute attack Of govt as some others,
it nevertheless exceeds all others in
value. During an attack it should be
given in doses Of ten grains every hour
and half to two hours, dissolved in
at least eight ounces Of distilled wa
ter. Sometimes hypodermic injec-
ton Of morphine is absolutely neces-
sary to relieve the pain in paroxysm
Of govt. AS many old subjects Of govt
have contracted kidneys, the use of
morphine under these circumstances
is attended with some danger, and the
drug should be administered with
great caution.

a Bad Bargain.

W. w. Jacobs, the English humorist,
relates the following story: II was
looking at a butcher shops display
when the butcher came out and said
to an old man, Henry, I want you.
What do you want? the old man
asked. Why said the butcher, I'll
give you a shilling and joint Of meat
II you'll kill all the flies in my shop.
All right said the old man. Give
me the shilling first and the meat af.
terward.' The butcher handed out the
shilling. Then the old man asked fol
a stick about yard long. This was
brought him. He grasped it firmly
went to the doorway and said: Now
turn 'em out, one at time"

VentilatiO His Forte.

If they's any NAH what knows all
about the ventilation Of dining cal"
said a waiter on the private car of a
Burlington official who passed through
Kansas CITY recently, IF they's any
man knows all about ventilation, Ah'm
suttinly that man. That nah bust
ness, and All understands it in all its
circumstantial an hypothetical aspects
and phases.
AN that's why it makes me sore
when the boss sits down to the table
and takes the stick and begins to
slammin' and openin' ventilators after
they're all fixed perfect already. Then
when the coffee gets full of cinders
he thinks Ah'm to blame. The boss
may be all right when it comes to
buildin' railroads and locatin' factories,
but this subject of ventilation Is too
big for m, and he bettah leave it to
the portah what knows something
about it.
"Befoh evry meal All place the nap
kins around and then sit down and
watch where the cinders are going.
Then All open this ventilator an close
that one until All have everything
fixed 80 nobody won't be bothered at
all. Then in comes the boss an spoils
the whole scheme in two minutes. All
can't stop the wind a-blowin', and All
amt the cab inspector to clean cinders
off the transoms. When Ah'm on the
street Ah'm chocolate drop in the
bucket, but on dining car All Ger
tainly can keep the elders out Of the
coffee If they'll jest gimme a chance"
