manufacturer wrote that he could not sup

him any number of new ones required.
These were, of course, given the appear

is so great, especially in the American sea-
son, that the genuine articles would go but
a little way to satisfy 1t.

Despoiling of Hay Wagons.

The bread asphalt paves of 18th street
have long been a favorite thoroughfare for
big wagons that come in from the country
loaded with hay. and 1t can hardly be de-
MED that one of these majestic lords OF
dried grass is always attractive to many
people.

are waiting for that hay to pass do not

SEA WATER AS A REMEDY.
Successfully Employed as Cure for
tuberculosis.

Consul General Guenther OF Frankfort,
Germany. furnishes from German papers
a report 10 the effect that DR.. Quinton of
Paris has recently communicated to the
Paris Academy of Medicine with reference
to the effects of sea water upon tubercu-
losis. The experiments were conducted
with sea water which was so diluted with
pure water as to- contain seven parts of
salt in 1000 parts of liquid. Only in this
strength salt water should be brought into
contact with the inner tissues of the human
body. The water must, OF course. be
steriliZed and is then injected hypodermicai-
Iy once in three or four days in doses OF
from 30 to 300 cubic centimeters. So far
