SALT A CURE-ALL
FOR MANY DISEASES.

One.half a t~easpoonful of common
table salt dissolved in a little cold
water will instantly relieve heartburn
or dyspepsia, says the Pinedale Round
up. If taken every morning before
breakfast, increasing the quantity
gradually to a teaspoonful of salt and a
tumbler of water, 1t will in a few days
cure any ordinary case of dyspepsia, If
at the same time due attention is paid
to the diet. There is no better remedy
than the above for constipation. AS a
gargle for sore threats it is equal TO
chlorate of potash, and is entirely safe.
In doses of one to four t~easpoonfuls
in half a pint to a pint of tepid water
it acts promptly as an emetic, and in
cases of poisoning is always at hand.
1t is IN excellent remedy for bites and
stings of insects. 1t is also a valuable
a]stringent in hemorrhages, particularly
for bleeding after the extraction Of
teeth. 1t has both healing and cleans
ing properties.

Hendrick, once the largest land owner

going to the poor house and would
be no imposition upon the county, as

the market conditions here at present:
The run of hay-fed cattle during the

$4.25.
Fat Cows and Heifers.
There is practically nothing coming
in the way of butcher stock at present
but good fat COWS and heifers would
sell well at the present time, as bee
trade is active and strong and supplies
of native butcher stock moderate. Good
kinds Of dry-lot cows are selling al
S3.S5 to $4.25; fair to good, SO to 1918
and good hay-fed cows would undoubt
eddy sell close around the 81 mark.

To the Editor of The Republican.
Will you be so kind as to give me a
little space in your valuable paper to
reply to Mr.. E. j. Bells attack on the
county commissioners in his speech
given at the dollar dinner in Laramie
on the evening of the 10th. In all JUS
tice and fairness to the county commits

serves to be answered.
Catch 1t Going and Coming.
Now, the county commissioner are
about in the same position as the man
who was hemmed in between the devil
and the deep blue sea-" they are kick.
ed and abused by one third of the tax
payers because they don't spend more
money in making and improving roads,
and they are kicked again by the other
two-thirds because their taxes are al
ready so high. Now, the commission
ers would be only too glad to make
good roads if they had the money to
do it with. There is not much more

keep what roads we have in good re-
pair, not saying anything about new
roads.

Washington, D. c., May 16.-The
hope that the rate bill will be passed
by the senate seems likely to be real
lied today, though discussion of the
pipe line n anti-pass amendments
is expected. 1t will probably be late
this afternoon before the senate will
be ready to act finally, but when the
vote is taken it will be almost unan-
imous for the bill. Senators Morgan
and Pettus, it is understood, will vote
mo" on the ground of interference
with state rights.
Remarkable Legislation.
With the passage of the bill will
end one of the most important discus
sions in the history of the modern
senate, and the debate will be ter
minated which for oratorical b%rilliancy,
close analytical reasoning and remark
able display of legal lore has seldom
been equaled. At the same time it
will be the first step towards the en-
actment of law by which the effective
regulation of the railroads is possible,
and by which the people may be pro-
tected from corporate discrimination
and oppression.
Passed House in February.

s with but seven negative votes. 1t
was taken up by the senate March II.
