1nfuenza.-A simple treatment Is to
take twelve drops Of cinnamon oil and
repeat the dose In an hour. Two hours
afterward take ten drops and repeat
every two hours until the temperature
falls to normal or even a little below.
Ten drops of the oil should be taken
three times day for day or so, this
ending the treatment. Take the oil
In about wineglassful of water each
time, However, it should not be for

Pneumonia Half the drugs known
to materla medica have been used for
pneumonia. Years ago patients were
bled. Then came an era of counter-ir-
ritation, which was followed by one of
antipyretics Quinine gave way to
aconite, which In turn was desplaced
by whisky, strychnlne, digltalis and Ice
packs. To-day, the more advanced
physicians let nature combat the
disease. All they do to help Is to keep
the patient clean and comfortable and
give plenty Of nourishment and fresh
air. The use of drugs is well-nigh
abandoned and the body fights its bat
tie alone.
Rheumatism m.-Hod soda baths are
recommended for rheumatism, and the
way they are taken is this: Fill tub
half full of water as hot as can be
borne, and half a pound of common
baking soda and immerse the body for
at least twenty minutes, keeping up
the temperature by the addition of hot
water from time to time. Vaseline or
cold cream should be rubbed into the
skin afterwards in order to replace the
natural oils. Salol has been used with
good. effect In the treatment of acute
rheumatism. particularly the muscular
variety. sasol is chemical compound
of salicylic acid and phenol or car
bollc acid. The dose for an adult is
ten grains every three hours.

1t Is Interesting to note the rate at
which new theories of medical science
are reversing those that prevailed
few years ago. Once when the CON
sumptive was told to seek change of
climate he checked his trunk for Flor
Ida or some other sub-troplcal section
But advanced views upon the nature
and treatment of the disease have ma
terially changed that. Dryness Is a
much more important condition than
warmth. The patient can be protected
agolnst cold, but against moisture In
the climate there Is no defense except
to run away from It The full force
of extreme expression of the reaction
is Illustrated by the fact that Wash
ington physician proposes to take about
thirty consumptive patients on health
seeking expedition to Greenland this
summer.

Incomplete statistics covering only
two-ffths of the population Of the
United States show death rate Of 1862
for each thousand for the year 1905.
A comparison with the death rates of
a number Of years fails to reveal any
improvement, but rather indicates
retrogression. tuberculosis pneumonia
and cancer rank as the leading causes
of disease and the last-named disease
claims more and more victims. The fig
ures do not make pleasant impression,
but it Is we'll to bear In mind that the
question of health, sanitation, hygiene,
individual and social, were never more
earnestly studied than now, and that
within the last year or two much has
been done to insure a diminution Of
the death rate in the near future. Very
likely even the statistics for 1905 will
contain gratifying evidence of the bene-
fetal effects of this activity, but, at
any rate, the years to come are certain
to bear testimony to the value of the
work, theological and practical, lay and
scientific, that Is being done In combat
ing disease. Research and investiga-
tion, more literally endowed, are grad
ually solving the problems Of diseases
that have been as battling as they are
menacing and fatal On the other hand
the duty and practicability Of prevent
Ing disease by establishing and main
tanning healthy conditions are more and
more keenly realized. tuberculosis II
Is now understood, Is social disease,
and successful campaign against II
involves attacks on sweatshops, filthy
tenements, dark and overcrowded base
ments and "alcoves" and insanitary
factories. The gospel Of plenty of pure
air Is preached more vigorously than
ever, and as one result we have cru
sades against smoke and dust from
quarters which have taken little inter

ance and legislation In various direc
tions safeguarding the health of women
and minors in the mills and factories
cannot but contribute powerfully to the
physical welfare Of the people. The
lesson of the mortality statistics is the
need Of even greater attention to health
and stricter enforcement of all laws
directly or indirectly tending to pro

WHALE MIGHTY JUMPER.
Known to Have Cleared Boat I'm
the High Seas.

Known to Have Cleared a Boat I'm
the High Seas.
The most stupendous of all leapers
of the sea is the whale. l have seen
monster weighing hundreds Of tons,
possibly eighty feet in length, rise
slowly and deliberately out of the wa
ter until it appeared to be dancing on
the surface, entirely clear of it, then
sink slowly back.
Such leap is on record in the an
nails of the British navy. A large
whale cleared a boat, going completely
over it, an estimated leap Of twenty
feet in air-how many in lateral d.
rection was not known.
Exactly how high tuna can leap
1t is difficult to say. l have seen the
water beaten into foam by them four
miles distant and have photograph
showing a fish-a black streak at least
a mile distant high in air-a jump OF
certainly ten or fifteen feet, and it Is
my opinion, based on what have seen
that it ID possible for a lusty tuna al
full speed to project itself twenty feet
into the air and thirty or forty feet
| In horizontal direction.
/ judge the latter possible from the
leap Of big tuna which cleared The
kelp and landed high on the rocks a

in the center of q school of leapini
tunas and watched them, but the situa
tion is not one suggestive Of repose o.

iperlOr safety Of tie Pullman cars 4

superior safety Of the Pullman cars Il
due to their stronger construction and
heavier weight. While It is perfectly
appropriate and reasonable that thoss
passengers who pay the additional
charge should enjoy the extra comforts
they pay for, all passengers should be
equally safe. Freight cars of steel con-
struction have almost superseded GER
tain classes of wooden freight cars, be-
ing lighter and cheaper in the long run.
Might 1t not be a safeguard against
fatal accidents to construct passenger
coaches of steel? At least, all passen-
ger cars should be made as strong and
safe as Pullman cars. There can be
no doubt that many lives would be
saved If this were done, and 1t would
probably be far cheaper for the rail-
road companies in the end.
