simple cure For Neuralgia.

Here is simple method OF curing
facial neuralgia: II the neuralgia is on
the right side Of the face the left hand
should be placed in basin OF water
as hot as can be borne. or if neuralgia
is in the left side OF the face then the
right hand should be placed in the hot
water. IL is asserted that In this way
relief may be obtained in less than
five minutes. The explanation is that
the two nerves which have the great
est number OF tactile nerve endings
are the fifth and the median nerve.
AS the fibers OF these two nerves cross
any impulse conveyed TO the left hand
Will affect the right side OF the face
or If applied TO the right hand will af-
feet the left side of the face. This Is
on account Of the crossing OF the cords.

GOOD ROADS AND RURAL MAILS.

1t is announced that the govern
ment will look more carefully to
the enforcement of its rule regard
ing the roads over which rural free
delivery is established. The pres
ent requirement is: Roads trav-
erSed shall be be kept in good con-
dltlon and unobstructed by gates:
there must be no unbridged creeks
or streams not forbade at any
season of the year" In many
cases the residents along proposed
routes have made improvements
that enable them to obtain rural
delivery service, bnt sometimes
the efforts to keep up the roads are
relaxed. But the government has
decided that unless the roads tray
cred by the carriers are properly
maintained the service will be
withdrawn. The Postoffice De-
partment now calls on the carriers
for reports on the roads, and will
stop the service where the high
ways in question are bad.
The S5,973 rural delivery car
reirs now employed cover 500, 1868
miles daily, and it is unreasonable
to expect them to contend with
neglected roads, or to work for
communities which lack the enter
prise to keep their common high
ways in decent shape. Wherever a
routes discontinued the inhabitants
themselves will be to blame for it.
for if alive to their own interests
and their duty to the public they
would give their roads vigorous
and constant attention. The idea
that a route once authorized is
necessearilypermanentisamistake.
Advice on the best road methods is
supplied by the Agricultural De-
partment, and a neighborhood that
losses Its rural delivery must itself
bear the discredit for SO unpleasant

found begging or who quit their
house and leave their wives or
children without the means of sup
port.
Sixth. Persons who follow no
labor, trade, occupation, or pro-
