TEA A PREVENTIVE.
British Surgeon Finds Germs Cannot
Abide the Soothing Beverage.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Tea Is a
preventive of typhoid, it has Just
been announced in England. The
discovery is made by Major J. G
Mcknight. a surgeon in the British
army, who acquaints the medical
profession in America with the par
ticulars of his experiments.
He finds that the typhoid germ. in
pure culture. becomes greatly dimin-
ished in numbers nv an exposure Of
four hours to the beverage. After
twenty hours It was impossible to
recover at all from the cold tea. He
recommends the use of cold tea as a
substitute for water in soldiers can
teens during active service. Even
when water is sufficiently sterilized
it is likely to become infected after
sterilization. and bottles which have
once been filed with contaminated
water are capable of transmitting
the infection for "a long time.
Major Mcknight suggests that
everybody drink tea. II prepared
in a proper manner tea. according to
physicians. constitutes a refreshing
and not harmful beverage. for II Is
the tannin and other extractivities,
which are drawn out only after con-
tinued steeping. which are product
i've of harmful consequences. Boiled
tea gives copperv coat to the stom-
ach and a saffron hne to the face.
IF employed in the manner indi-
Gated. in localities where typhoid is
known to be present. tea may thus
serve as one OF the essential pre-
cautionarv measures to guard
against infection by this dread dis
ease.

Hints for the Housewife.

For hot hands-The following To-
ton will prove very beneficial when
the hands perspire too freely and be-
come uncomfortable in consequence.
Take ten grains of fannie acid, half
an ounce of simple tincture of bezoin.
two ounces of elderflower water and
three ounces of rosewater. This mix
ture should be used on the hands,
and the result will be that they will
remain fresh and cool.
Invisible Patches on Curtains
Cut a piece of the required size out
of an old one and dip it in starch,
then press it on the curtain with a
hot iron. and you will have the de-
fective spot we'll mended until
washing day for it comes round
again. Do not iron your curtains,
for ironing breaks the threads. In
stead, mangle and shake them out.
any creases which remain will soon
disappear when they are hung up.
Cleaning Gilt Frames.-Water
should never be put on gilt frames.
They should be wiped with dry cloth
or chamios. This applies to all
metals and laquered goods. After a
lauuered bed has once been wet and
polished it must be continually pol
ished, so the best plan is to keep 1t
dry as long as possible. Reaches are
deadly enemies of mirror backs. and
yearly ruin many thousands. For
this reason the old silver-backed mir
ror is passing away, and the new ones
are coated with composition that is
proof against insects, but that does
not give as fine reflection as the
other sort.
Keeping Irons Clean.-When irons
became rough or smoky. lay little
fine salt on a fiat surface and rub
them well. 1t will prevent them
sticking to anything starched and
make them smooth. A piece OF fine
sandpaper is also a good thing to
have near the stove. or hard,
smooth board covered with brick

TRIED TO CUT HIS
THROAT IN SALOON
PETER CRAWFORD TIRED OF LIFE
He Was Deserted by His Wife, Who
Left City in Company With An.
other Married Woman.

Peter Crawford of Yakima City at
tempted to cut his throat in a saloon
in Yakima City late Friday evening.
and was only prevented by number
of his friends who happened to be
in the place at the time. They sue
ceeded in getting the razor away
from him and quieting him down,
after he had declared that life held
nothing for him for which he de-
sired to live. Later he went away in
company with a friend. and so far as
known made no further attempts at
self destruction.
According to reports given out Sat-
urday it was quite "a chain of cir
cumstances that led Crawford to
make an attempt upon his life. 1t
is said that he is a near relative Of
the young girl, Ii years of age, who
was married few days ago in North
Yakima to William Hawkins, after
an acquaintance that was unusually
short. 1t is said that Hawkins met
the girl one evening, and that they
were married the next day. Married
life in their case did not prove all
that they might have hoped for, and
while it lasted, both were more or
less unhappy. On Friday young Mrs.
Hawkins, accompanied by the wife of
Crawford came to North Yakima,
and Hawkins was informed that they
intended to leave the city. He was
further informed that stranger, a
young man who came from no one
knew where, had appeared on the
scene and made the assertion that
he had been regularly and legally
married to the girl before Hawkins
became her husband, and that she
had neglected the Formally of get
ting a divorce from him.
Hawkins came up from Old Town
with the intention Of trying to in
duce her to return to his home, but
his efforts were unsuccessful. Both
she and Mrs. Crawford left, according
70 statements Of persons who saw
them board No. 5 Friday evening, for
Gle Elum. So there was nothing for
the two deserted husbands to do but
go back to Old Town and seek to
drown their sorrows in the flowing
bowl. This it is said they did. and
it was following this bout with Bac-
chus that Crawford, lonely and de-
spondent, decided to commit suicide.
Friends of the two say that neither
will attempt to persuade his wife to
return.

FAULT OF EASTERN RAILROADS
They Benefit by Conditions, and Re-
fuse to Enter Agreement for
Free Interchange.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 21.-At
the conclusion tonight of the inquiry
into the question of the freight car
shortage before Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Prouty, the commits
sioners, shippers and representa-
tives of railroads agreed that all par
ties concerned would be greatly ben
Gifted and present conditions re-
lieved if a free interchange of cars
among railroads could be brought
about.
1t is understood that western
railroads generally favor free inter-
change of freight cars and eastern
roads have refused to enter into such
an agreement. The reason for this
difference, it is said, is the eastern
roads are profitting by present con-
ditions and are using many thou
sands of cars belonging to western
roads and their own equipment as
we'll. causing a severe shortage to
exist in the west and south. West

starch may remain to be burnt on.
If the irons become coated with
scorched starch, rub them over with
beeswax, and 1t will all come off.
Rubbing the iron with beeswax, even
if no starch adheres, adds to the
