Owing to the prevalence of pneu-
monia and the great mortality which
attends its ravages during the winter
and spring several boards of health in
Northern New Jersey haye been taking
measures to protect the citizens of
their towns from disease The health
board Of Washington, New Jersey, has
| published remedy which is said to
be sure cure for pneumonia, and
other health boards are looking into
the matter with view of having the
same thing published for the good of
general public. But in the meantime
call in good physician.
This is the publication as it has ap-
peared in the papers of Washington:
"Take six to ten onions, according
to size, and chop fine, put in large
spider over a hot fire, then add the
same quantity of rye meal and vinegar
enough to form thick paste. In the
meanwhile stir it thoroughly. letting
it simmer five or ten minutes Then
put IN cotton bag large enough to
cover the lungs and apply to the
chest as hot as the patient can bear.
In about ten minutes apply another
and thus continue by reheating THE
poultices, and in a few hours the
patient will be out OF danger. The
simple remedy has never failed to
cure this too often fatal malady
Usually three or four applications will
be sufficient but continue always till
the perspiration starts freely from the
chest. This remedy was formulated
many years ago by one of the best
physicians New England has ever
known, who never lost patient by
4 the disease, and won his renown by
simple remedies

Go1nto Business for Yourself.

1t is we'll lnown that long continued
employment in the service of
others often crpples originality
aud individuality. That resource.
fulness and inventiyeness which come
from perpetual stretching of the mind
to meet emergencies, or from adjust
mont OF means to ends. is seldom de-
veloped to its utmost in those vino
work for others. There is not the
same compelling motive to expand,
to reach out, to take risks, or to plan
for oneself, when the program is made
for him by another.
remain employees or subordinates,
are the backbone of the nation. They
are the sinews of our country's life
They got their power as the northern
oak gets its strength, by Fighting every
inch OF its way up from the acorn with
storm and temptest. 1t is the hard
schooling that the selt-made gets in
his struggles to elevate and make a
place for himself in the world that de-
velops him.
Some employees have a pride in
working for great institution. Their
identity with it pleases them. But
isn't even small business of your
own, which gives you freedom aud
scope to develop your individuality
and to be yourself, better than being a
perpetual clerk in a large institution,
where you are merely one cog in a
wheel OF a vast machine?
The sense of personal responsibility
is, in itself, great educator, a power
full schoolmaster Sometimes young
women who have been brought up in
luxury, and who have known nothing
of work, when suddenly thrown upon
their own resources by the loss of pro
perty, or compelled even to support
their once wealthy parents, develop
remarkable strength and personal
| power. Young men, too, sometimes s
surprise everybody when suddenly left
to carry OH their fathers business un-
aided. They develop force and power
which no one dreamed they possessed.
We never know what we can do un-
| til we are put to the test by some
great emergency or tremendous re :
sponsibility. When we feel that we
are cut off from outside resources and
must depend absolutely upon ourselves
we can fight with all the force of des
peration.
The trouble with working for Others
is the cramping of the Individuality
the lack of opportunity to expand
along original and progressive lines
because fear of making mis- take and
apprehension lest we take too great
risks are constantly hampering the
executive, the creative, the origina
1 faculties.-O. S. Marden in Success

Horatio, but none of them is more curl
GUS than that relating to the amount Of
time it would take for an object to fall
from the sun or moon to our earth. 1t
has been decided, after an immense
amount Of figuring, that if bowIder
weighing ton should fall from the
sun it would take it ninety-n years,
nine months and two hours to reach
the earth. The same bowlder could
make the trip from the moon to the
earth in four and one-half days.

Traps For Tigers ana pnnthers.

An ingenious trap for catching tigers
and large black panthers is used by the
natives Of an isolated part of 1ndo-
China. A short length of tree log is
followed out, and around each end of
it are driven long sharp spikes so as to
project inward. leaving an opening of
about six inches. Through small
trapdoor pariah dog or pig is placed
in the log for bait and the trap left for
future developments The tiger or
panther easily pushes in his paw to Sc
cure the bait, but when he tries to
withdraw 1t it is impaled on the sharp
spikes, and he is trapped.

The following sketch of Lincoln,
life was given by Mrs. Foster:
ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Feb. 10, 1909, in a humble farm house
IN Hardin county, in the state of
Kentucky, was born child whose
homely name adorns the most illus
trlous pages of American history and
| Is enshrined in the hearts of all loyal
American citizens, reared in proverty
and prlyation he earned a livelihood
in his early days by manual labor. As
the years rolled by he climbed the
ladder of fame step by step until he
reached the highest place to be attain
ed by an American citizen, that of
president OF the United States. In
this he set shining example TO all
American youths for all time. Almost
at the beginning of his administration.
in fact before he had taken his seat.
there was heard profuse mutterines of
discomfort, which finally eliminated

hour drew ON and treason Haunted it.
self broadcast through the land; when
the foul blot OF human slavery threat
ened to spread blight and ccrruption
over the whole land, the time demand
ed man of nerve, and found in Abra-
ham Lincoln the one whose hand was
capable of steering the ship of state
into safe harbor.
With rare ability and patience which
PROVOKED his most ardent supporters
out which aroused the wonder and
respect of those who read of it in after
days, he led a torn and distracted
country through years of doubt and
encouragement, of apathy where he
should have found sympathy, and of
active opposition where he confidently
looked for help. And when at the
close of the struggle he was stricken
down by the cowardly hand of an
assassin, he laid down his life as the
browning sacrifice of that incalcuable
outpouring of blood and treason that
was necessary for the preservation of
our Union, he was rightly mourned as
the nations greatest and best.
Side by side in the hearts of his
countrymen with George Washington
the father of his country, stands Abra-
ham Lincoln, the emancipation there.
OF. The nation which his life. his
efforts, his axample saved from dis.
honor and disruption may fitly cherish
his memory and observe with reverent
ceremonies the day of his birth,
His rugged face and far-seeing eve,
his tall, ungraceful figure, clad in ill
fitting garb, are familiar to both old
and young.
The lesson that he taught in his life
time and emphasized by the manner
of his death will not be lost to the
American people while the republic
lasts.
think it very befitting that Lin.
coins birthday should be legal holi
day. often wonder that congress has
been SO tardy in making law to that
effect, ard with Washington's birthday
think the nation ought to celebrate
that of Abraham Lincoln every year
in some way.

roo LENlENr VITA MIGRANTS.

From the farms of south Geor-
gia, from the lumber districts
from every source of ind ustry here
comes the demand for more labor
ers. Even here in Americas the
supply is far short of all require
mentS and work lags for the lack
of workers. A law which will
compel idle, ablebodied men to go
to work is much needed in Geor-
gia. Mississippi has such a law,
and it works admirably. The law
is so framed as to give no incon-
venlence to any man having any
means of support. 1t is aimed
simply at the Migrants and idlers
who live for the most part off the
earnings of their wives, or who
have no visible means of support
whatever, and who therefore must
necessarily gain their livelihood
by improper means. The vagrant
negro, in particular, is menace
to the prosperity of large indus
tries-factories, mines and farms.
Farmers, especially, are often
unable to get them to work just at
the season when work in the fields
is absolutely necessary. The truth
of it is the white people of the
South have been too lenient with
the negro. They educate them,
furnish them employment and pro-
vide charitable institutions for the
helpless members of the race and
he gives little in return. There
must be a frmer grip had ON the
situation.

STILL THRoNelNe TO AMERICA.

Seventeen big ocean liners reach
ed New York city Monday from
European ports with twenty three
thousand foreigners to dump upon
our shores. This is the largest
number ever landed in one day,
breaking all records. 1t is seen
what rapid increase in the popu
lation of cities this immigration
means, and there seems to be no
let up in the flood of Europeans
who are pouring upon these shores
Comparatively few of them have
ever come South, and yet the i'm
migration laws are now rather
stringent and the large percentage
of these people make desirable
citizens. We believe there should
be some concerted effort by some
Southern Governors to attract the
attention of these homeseekers
southwark. Labor is needed all
over the South. These people are
willing to work, are in good
physical condition and are not
paupers. The immigration laws do
not permit the entrance of paupers
or of persons physically unsound.
If the immigrants knew of the
South they would come to it. What
is needed is dissemination of infor-
nation about the South.
