Last year the board Of health in n
OF the Jersey towns published for the
good Of the general public this said to
De "lnfallible cure" for pneumonia:
lake six to ten onions, according to
size, and chop fine. Put in a large
spider over a hot fire, then add about
the same quantity Of rye meal and vim
egar, enough to cover the lungs, and
apply TO the chest as hot as the patient
can bear. In about ten minutes change
the poultice, and thus continue by re-
heating the %poultices. In a few hours
the patient will be relieved and out of
danger. Usually three or four applica-
TONS will be sufficient, but continue
always until perspiration starts freely
from the chest. In applying any poul-
tlce 1T should be remembered that it
Il never be left on long enough to
grow cold and hard, as in that case it
does more harm than good. Always

fore removing the first, and make the
change so quickly and under cover that

same thing applies to any hot COM
press that requires renewing.

tween the ends of the bars. A series
Of bolt holes are made in the ends of
the bars, through which is passed a
pivot bolt to connect with similar holes
in the end of the Tightening lever, by
which the latter Is adjusted to suit
different sizes and constructions Of
spring frames. Removable clamping
devices are secured to the opposite ends
Of the bars, preventing the bars from
slipping while the springs are being
stretched. In use the spring is laid fiat
upon the floor, with the wire side low-
ermost. The cleat on the spring rail
Is disconnected and moved upward to
a certain distance, which is determined
by the amount Of slack in the springs,
and then connected, the projecting end
Of the spring being cut off. The stretch
Ing apparatus is applied, the lever be-
ing adjusted to force the spring to as
sumo a tight surface after pressure has
been put upon it.

Tightens Bed Springs,

1t Is we'll known that woven wire bed
springs become loose or slack after
they have been used a short time and
their efficiency thereby decreased. An
apparatus to overcome this condition
has been evolved by an inventor that is
simple in construction and use. 1t con-

are arranged obliquely to each other

bars or cleats, the latter being secured

the blow was struck no one ever ex-
planned. So quickly and so accurately
was the abduction performed that the
boats were we'll clear Of the yacht
before alarm was given by one Of the
watch, who had been overlooked in
the careful assault.
Sleepy sailors rushed on deck with
a promptness that was amazing. Very
quickly they had found and unbound
Brewster, carried a couple Of wound
ed shipmates below and had Captain
Perry in his pajamas on deck to take
command.

frantically. 'The devils have stolen
Miss Gray"
While swift hands were lowering
the boats for the chase others were
carrying firearms IN deck. The search
light threw its mighty white arm out
over the water before many seconds
had passed, and eager eyes were look
ing for the boats Of the pillagers. The
Arabs had reckoned without the
searchlight. Their fierce exultat1on
died suddenly when the mysterious
streak Of light shot into the sky and
then swept down upon the sea, hunt
ing them out of the darkness like a
great and relentless eye.
The Filters boats were in the water
and manned by sturdy oarsmen before
the glad cry went up that the ROD
Der fleet had been discovered. They
were so near the yacht that it was
evident the dusky tribesmen were
poor oarsmen. In the clear light from
the ships deck they could be seen pad
ding wildly, their white robes hutter-
ing as though inspired by fear. There
were four boats, all Of them crowded
to the gunwales.

Three boats shot away from the slde
of the Yacht. Brewster and Joe Brag-

"Iet's take a shot at 'em!' cried a
sailor who stood in the stern with MS

Pacific Company's Tracks
MANAGER OBJECTING

PAI4O ALTO. Nov. 1.-7-Work on the
Hanchet Companys car barn" line on
Hawthorne avenue and Emerson street
was stopped yesterday afternoon by
the Board of Town Trustees on account
of statement by the general manager
that the company intended to build its
road over the grades of the Southern
Pacific instead of through a subway,
as agreed to.
The trustees insist that no more work
will be done until the railroad COM
pany signs an agreement to build a
subway sixty feet in width under the
tracks and make it a public thorough
fare for vehicles as well as the compa-
nys cars. They also demand that the
company sign an agreement that no
other power than electricity be used on
the company's cars.
The first franchise granted by the
trustees was questioned by property
owners along the streets mentioned. and
in order'to prevent further trouble the
franchise was rescinded to be enacted
again after certain processes of law
had been conformed with. In the sec
ond franchise, which will come berofe
the board for final acceptance Monday
night the subway clause was inserted
and was to be agreed upon by the COM
pany before final action was taken.

ENTERTAINED WIFE
IN HUBBY'S ABSENCE
Deputy Constable Cook Has
Lively Setto When He
Tries to Make Escape

OAKLAND, Nov. 1.-No other feel
ing than "platonic friendship" induced
Deputy Constable I. P. Cook to crawl
through a window with two bottles of
beer that he might enjoy a chat with
and entertain Mrs. Frank Thomas at
her Emeryville home last night. AT
least that is the assertion he made
this morning at the County Jail, where
he is under arrest for disturbing the
peace.
Frank Thomas is an employe of the
Judson Iron Works. Last night he
was to have been away from home,
and Cook learned of the fact. With a
bottle OF beer in each of his side coat
pockets he entered the Thomas home
through the kitchen window. While
he and Mrs. Thomas: were enjoying
the beer and discussing the latest EN-
eryville gossip Joseph Thomas, Frank s
brother. appeared upon the scene and
there was trouble. When Joseph had
satisfied his anger by punching the
intruder he called Marshal Edward
Carey and had Cook arrested for dis
turbing the peace.
:. Cook is employed by "a local collec-
tion agency, and he says Thomas
anger was due more to the fact that
he recently attached Thomas salary
than that he was. found conversing g
with Mrs, Thomas.

In: support of his statement he has

Professor Wickson, which are luscious
and free from codling moth. In
acknowledgment Professor Wickson
has stated that. while according to the

PLOT TO BLOW UP
OHIO ENGINEE

AKRON, o.. Nov. 1.-Audrew Nc
Intosh, aged 40. Baltimore and Ohio
engineer, yesterday had a narrow es-
cape from death by an Internal. ma
chine. A 38-caliber revolver. packed
with powder in small box, and ten
sticks of dynamite were concealed. in
a tool box in the coal house at his
home. The trigger of the pistol was
fastened TO the lid of the box. When
Mcintosh opened the lid the pistol
exploded and the bullet struck Nc
Intosh in the cheek. Mcintosh was
burned by the powder, and the dyr1a
mite was thrown to all parts of the
coal house, but did not explode.
McIntosh's injuries are not serious.
He says he knows of no enemies. The
police have cIew. Had the dyna-
mite exploded great damage to the
property would have followed, as many
houses are in proximity,
