NEW YORK. Nov. 2O.-The Ameri.

What She Says Of Onions.

Every housewife understands that
onions are a kind of all-round good
medicine, without knowing why.
She knows that a solid red onion
eaten at bedtime will, by the next
morning, break the severest cold.
She also knows that onions make a
good plaster to remove inflammation
and hoarseness, but she does not
know why.
If any one would take an onion and
mash it so as to secure all the juice in
it, he would have a most remarkable
smelling substance that would quiet
the most nervous person.
The strength OF this substance in
hailed for q few minutee will dull the
sense Of smell and quiet the nerves
until sleep is produced from sheer ex'
haustion.
This all comes from one property
possessed by the onion. and that is a
form of opium.

The Value Of II Smile.

AT WORK.

Considerable good has resulted from
the work of officials Of the federal de.
partment of agriculture, but it must
be admitted that their efforts are oc.
casionally projected along lines that
contemplate very little, il any, benefit
to the American people. One OF these
latter kind Of Investigations is the
subject of caustic comment by the
Washington Post to this effect:
The interchangeable investigators Of
the department of agriculture have
cautiously advanced several theories
which arrest instant and respectful
attention. They relate to that battling
and abstruce problem, the protection
Of cows from flies. The scientists of
the department do not rush forward
| with the cocksure proclamation that
they have discovered a penacea-they
are toe we'll trained in the strategy OF
retreat for that. But they do advance,
with plenty of IFS and butts, Il few nov.
Ell suggestions which r worthy Of
consideration by all human beings
who are acquainted with COWS and

The fact having been demonstrated
that hics are a Nuisance, and the
opinion being expressed that they
cause q diminution of the milk yield
by their a%ssiduous attentions, the
council Of savants Of the department,
OF agriculture discusses the various
methods suggested for abating the
nuisance. The first plan zones from

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Recomrne ndatiOns To Congress Will Dell

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-A tax up-

interstate commerce, and a divorce
law will constitute some of the impor-
LIANT recommend atoms in President
Roosevelt's message to congress which
meets December 4. Before leaving for
Panama the president completed the
draf, OF his message, which has since
been printed. The divorce question
Is the e feature of greatest interest.
1t is learned that the president
places the greatest stress on the i'm
portance OF a federal check upon the
growth of fortunes in this country.
Since his famous ''muck rake'' speech
last spring, when he preached the
subject, he has consulted with the
best lawyers and %jurists in the coun.
try to ascertain whether congress pos.
sesses the stitutional authority to
impose such a tax. He has been as.
sured that such legisl alton is within
the power Of congress.
Consequently, the president will
urge the adoption of a scheme of pro.
gressive taxation on all fortunes be.
You'd a certain amount, either given
in life, or bequeathed upon death, to
any individual. He believes it has
an unwholesome effect on the common.
wealth for swollen estates to pass
from generation to generation.
A second chapter of the message
will deal with the question of giving
the federal government supervisory
authority over corporations engaged
In interstate commerce. He will insis,
that 1t is of paramount importance
that the government be vested with
such authority in order to IDEAL effec.
lively with the far reaching evils OF
over.production.
Roosevelt will be the first president
to ask congress for a remedy for the
divorce evil. The president will likely
renew the demand for q law to secure
publicity in connection with the ex.
penses of political committees during
congressional and presidential cam
paigns. He made a recommendation
Of this kind last year, but the republic
cans of the house promptly killed the
bill that passed the senate to give
publicity to the financial end of cam

ward not so often, ''since the tips of
the hair became coated with resin"
This settled the fly question, but it
did not satisfy insatiate science. How
does the resin armor affect the milk
yield: was asked. The COWS armored
with resin were accordingly tested,
and it "a ascertained, greatly to the
distress of the Investigators, that the
yield of milk was less than with un.
armOred cows. 1t is true that the
cows stood ''more quietly during
milking" but for reasons which even
science could not ignore the resin
treatment was dropped before the cows
ran dry.
Then science turned to kerosene
emulsion. This stuff had killed San
Jose scale, June bugs, OK MARBLE, boil
weevil and other enemies of the de.
partment of agriculture-why not flies
on COWS: A Especially constructed
shed"was erected in Virginia, "where
the movement of the animals could be
regulated" In other words, science
drove the cows into a corner and held
them there with memorable hand, while
it turned upon them a hose gifted
with nozzles so as to throw the spray
upon the animals from all directions"
The report Is silent as to consequences,
but it is perfectly evident that no self.
respecting COW would submit to such
treatment without making sure that
the operator received his share of the
spray. Science, OF course, ignores
such little incidents. The report
merely observes that in the mixup Of
cattle. spray, nozzles and scientists,
flies are slaughtered in large numbers.
1.-THE flies are killed." says the re-
port, "during the passage of the ami
ma through the spray 1t is then
announced with almost positive en-
pbasis that very gratifying results
were obtained"
The world moves. Science thwarted,
but undaunted, looks eager-eyed to
the future. Sooner or later the great
problem OF protecting cows from flies
during milking time must and will be
sO1ved.
