EXtOrtiOnate Claims.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 22.-The eX-
tortionate charges for automobile hire
during the first two weeks following
the fire is likely to develop into a scan
dal OF huge proportions before the
6narce committee finishes with audit
ing the accounts, In the tabula ted
statement filed with the committee Of
forty on Saturday there appears n
charge of s157, $3.50 for automobile
service.
Could Buy the Machines.
1t Is a vell-known fact that there
are not more than 1000 machines In San
Francisco and that all of them could
be bought outright for sum not much
in excess OF the amount charged for
the hire of probably half that number.
Ask $50 for Every Day.
Only 129 claims were presented to
cover this sum. The average rental a
day was $50, but In many instances the
charge was even higher. What the
committee will do with this Item Is
still undetermined. In the same table
is a statement of charges for milk. but
ter eggs, bread, vegetables, drugs, hay
grain and clothing. The total cost for
these nece 5Saries does not equal the
cost of the hire of automobiles. Some
OF the garages have relieved the COM
mittee from embarrassne by gener-
ously donating the amount Of the de-
mand TO the relief fund.

With view of increasing the in
terest in rifle practice, and incident
ally, the study of all military sub
jects, an enthusiastic friend of the
Michigan National Guard has asked
Major H. b. Britton, First Infantry,
M. n. G., to arrange competition
between the signal corps of Ypsilan-
ii and Company 1, First Infantry, of
Ann Arbor, and has provided a novel
prize which is calculated to be of
great value to the winners. The
competition is to consist of indoor
rifle matches between teams of ten,
to be held at Ann Arbor during the
first week of November and at Ypsi-
lanti the first week of December; in
case of tie third match to be shot
at Ann Arbor before the 20 tn of De-
cember.
Major Britton is to act as eXecut-
tive officer and arrange the condi-
tons of the match. The winning
company is to receive as a prize for
their reading room during 1907, the
following publications:
Journal of U. S. Infantry Associa-
tion
Journal of the U. s. Cavalry Asso-
citation.
Journal of the U. s. Artillery
Journal of the Military Service In
stitution.
Army and Navy Journal.

These periodicals contain, by ex-
tract, notice, or translation, some ac-
count of every important and valu-
able article appearing abroad, and
the best articles written by officers
of the United States army, and oc-
casionally some articles by officers of
the National Guard.
The Army and Navy Journal and
the Army and Navy Register, in adj
dition, usually publish all important
orders of the war department, and

ment Headquarters, as well as in

his about what we should regard as

Practical Treatment for Early Fall
Colds.


Nearly everyone has a different
method or prescription for the cure of
colds, from the facetious acquaintance,
who advises you to put your feet in
hot cruel and drink copiously of warm
mustard water, to the deadly earnest
friend who appears at your bed room
door with some fearful potion of her
own brewing. which you will have to
drink, or forfeit forever her good will.
And yet the treatment of ordinary
colds is simple enough, and they are
readily cured If they are treated in time.
Rest at once when cold is in its
earliest stages. This will often be
efficient in checking the cold and pre-
venting 1t going further.
A cold is the result of Inflammation
in one part or other of the air passages,
and all inflammatory conditions are
best treated by rest.
The patient should take very light
food, 80 as to rest his stomach and give
his digestive apparatus a chance of
slackening off for couple Of days.
This simple prescription, if faithfully
followed for As hours or so, will cure a
feverish cold without the use of any
drug.
If the skin is dry and burning, q
dover's powder and the drinking of
plenty of warm barley water will pro-
mote perspiration, and, once the skin
perspires freely, relief soon follows.
A capital drink for the promotion of
perspiration, and to reduce feverish-
ness, is pint of hot barley water, with
dessert spoonful of sweet spirits of
nitre stirred into it. If this is taken
hot it soon causes the skin to act freely.
The patient should be well covered with
blankets and have hot bag at his feet.
Remember that colds are infectious to
some extent. AS a preventative, oil of
eucalyptus is found very efficacious. A
few drops on lump of sugar is cura-
tive if taken at the first symptom of a
cold, and prevents the catching of one
if you have been exposed to the infec-
ton.
For chest colds linseed poultices are
very helpful, but they are worse than
useless if not properly made and ap-
piled, and if left on too long. They
should only be used by people who can
stay in bed and be nursed.
For cold in the head compound
menthol snuff is admirable and may be
freely used. Another excellent thing is
wide-mouthed smelling bottle, filled
with this mixture Ammonia, iodine,
carbolic acid equal parts, made into a
paste with wood charcoal and COM
pound tincture of lbenzoin. A chemist
will make this up and supply the bottle
for quarter.
A capital application is to procure a
half yard of cotton wadding. Heat it
before the fire. 1t will puff out. Then
split in two. Sprinkle the surfaces
thickly with mustard and close togeth-
er as you would sandwich.
Cover the chest with this and band
age on with strap or flannel Wear
until cold is well, when remove and
wear piece of flannel instead for a
short time. This causes no blistering,
as the mustard does not touch the skin.
To give a footbath properly the
water should be cool enough to allow
the feet to be plunged into it at once,
then gradually add hot water until it is
as hot as can be borne. The upper part
of the body should be kept well covered
with blankets.
