Cocoanut Milk for Burns.

The milk of a fresh cocoanut is the finest remedy on earth for burns" said Antonio Gilardi of New Orleans. Several years ago happened to be in Central America shipping fruit to the United States. While there first learned that the cocoanut milk was the very best medicine in case of bad burns In severe case where the flesh is so badly burned that 1t sloughs away from the bone the cocoanut milk will relieve the pain and stops the in fammation. I knew many people in Central America who had used the milk for burns and pronounced it ex cellent."

Shape of the Earth.

Children used to be taught to say: "The earth is round, like ball " This is altogether too inexact to suit modern science. Prof. A. F. II.

A class Of eighteen received confirm

possessed unusual interest and the
church was filled with an attractive
congregation with appreciative ears

Chairman Of House Committee

HAS CREATED MANY ENEMIES
Conservative. Broad Minded Course
Has Not Made Him Popular
Among Fellow Representa-.
tMes--Position Enviable.

WASHINGTON. Feb, ,--Represcn-
tative Burton, Of Ohio, who by reason
II his position as chairman Of th
committee on rivers and harbors. Is
one OF the most important factors ot
the House Of Representatives, has re-
Gently been quoted AZ saying that he
would decline the chlirmansAtp II iais
committee when the committees Of the
next House were made up owing 20
hts refusal to permit extraordinary APP
propriationS for wanted improvements
that seem TO him 10 sock local rather
shan general benefit. and which are
not demanded by the trade and COM
merce OF the country Mr., Burton has
won the cordial disapprovaI Of many
members OF the House who have thus
been unable TO secure the appropria-
tions FOR their district they think
should have been made. with regard
to those improvements that are es-
sential Mr.. Burton has held the ap-
propriatcns down to minimum and
that also has offended. Because Of this
sentiment in the House, the constant
irritation that his policy has created
and the enormous amount of time he
is required TO devote to study II
the conditions all over the country,
Mr.. Burton says he has grown tired
OF his "job" and intends to throw II
up.
Perhaps, when Mr. Burton gets to
thinking the matter over seriously. he
will change his mind. Like every 9TH
er man In public life, Mr. Burton APP
preciates power that comes with po-
sition He is a member from Clcve-
land, Ohio, the beautiful and pros
porous city on Lake Erie The great
harbors OF the lakes have been his Z
particular pride and the fact that he {
controls the purse strings that permit ,
Of these Improvements has made him
the power he is. Everybody says he
is a good chairman. Mr.. Burton says I
his time is so occupied that he can ,
not give his attention to other mat
ters. He could get the vacancy on
the Ways and Means committee,
caused by the retirement Of General
irosvenor Of his state. but Mr. Bur-
ION may we'll question whether he
would be the influential actor In leg
slaton he now Ia were he simply a
member Of that committee and not
Hartman Of the c9mmlttee that spends
lpward Of a hundred million each Con-
sress. Then, too, would he be the
eader of his party In Northern Ohio
but for the fact Of the place he now
holds? II is rather safe assumption
that Mr.. Burton will reconsider his
expressed intention Of reslgnlng from

SHOCKING DEATH
or BEDFORD MAN
JOHN II. WILLIAMS INSTANTLY
KILLED BY BEING THROWN
FROM A HORSE.

SHELBYVILLE, Tenn, April s.
John II. Williams, prominent young
man, aged rs years, residing with his
father. H. c. Williams, near town, met
a horrible death yesterday afternoon,
The young man went to the horse
lot for the purpose Of catching horse,
but he was out so long that some of
the family went to see what was the
matter. On arriving in the lot they
found the young man dead on the
ground, with his brains oozing out.
The cause of his death is not certain
~ known, but it is presumed that when
he secured the horse, he mounted him
without saddle or bride, and this
frightened the horse so that it threw
him, and he fell against small stump
and in this way his skull was broken
and death was the result. This is in
ferred from the fact that the stump
was covered with blood and brains.
