A "First Aid" for Meningitis,
From the Georgian.

1
The prevalence of meningitis
| in certain sections of the com"
munity and state has caused a
Igreat deal of anxiety among the
people, and is particularly terri
flying in those regions where nc
physician is within easy reach.
It is always a serious matter
| for a newspaper to make pre-
scriptions in heroic cases of ILL
ness, and the Georgian is not dis
posed to be imprudent here in
it's invasion of profession II rights
We would urge those whose
friends or relatives are victims
of meningitis by all possible
means to summon a physician at
the earliest possible moment, as
the disease is deadly aid rapid
III us sweep
But if it should be that no physi-
clan is near at hand or obtainable
within a reasonable time, we
give below prescription which
comes to us from a most reliable
and thoughtful citizen who. with
his neigh bors. vouches for Its eff
fective use in many cases:
To the Editor of The Georg.
ian:
Some good long time ago you
asked for remedy for meningi-
tbs. Being a layman I hesitated
to give you the iofor nation of
my treatment.
First give the patient one or
two large euemas-three or
four quarts of water as hot as
the patient can bear; then wiring
a single bed blanket out of boil
ing water (keep ends of blanket
dry to handle;) put one or two
quilts on the bed; put pair dry
blankets on them; spread the
hot blanket over this quick; roll
the patient ia not blanket, cover
the patient qri~k with hot blank
ct; then cover with dry one and
so on with quilts from neck to
bottom of feet, Put a cold, wet
cloth to head, tuck the covers a.
round the body snugly; rewet
the cold cloth every ten minutes.
Keep the patient ia this pack, if
comfortable one to two hours.
Take him out and give good
rubbing with towel, wet with
cold water; rub for five minutes;
rewet your single blanket in
boiling water and put him back
in the pack for another one or
two hours. Repeat this for twen-
ty four hours or until he is con-
scious. Continue with enemas-
three or four ia twenty-four
hours; give no nourishment for
one or two days or longer. These
are facts, not theories and will
cure nine out of every ten.
You can ask Judge Pendleton
about this treatment, as he was
a witness to case that was Civ
en- up to die in less than one
hour.
This is to you personally in
reply to your request for rem
edy for this deadly disease, and
my name is not to be used Th;
faithful carrying cute of the meth
cd will be found most eficacious.

REASONING ANIMALS
ON AT KEITH'S

The man who thinks that dogs and
monkeys have no reasoning powers should
talk IL over with Prof. Gillette, whose anil
NAL act is delighting audiences at Keith's
this week. Gillette says they not only
think and reason things out for them
selves. but that they are better at It than
some people. Look at that monkey now"
he suggested, pointing out Pete. a dog
faced babboon from South Africa. "A
minute ago you heard me tell him to stop
1t when he was romping with smaller
monkey. The little fellow continued to
bother him and finally you heard me tell
Pete to go at him and give him tussle
Did you notice how quickly he obeyed me
I'm each instance?"
II was good Illustration. Both orders
were given I'm the same tone of command
At the first. Pete climbed back on the
trunk on which he had been sitting in
the dressing room" At the second, he
hoped down from his perch and engaged
in hand-to-hand combat with his little
friend.
And yet some people say animals can
not reason" remarked Gillette The IA
vorite performer in the Gillette troupe is
Marquis. a French poodle without pedi-
gree. This dog simulaes the actions of a
drunken man with a fidelity that is start
ling. AS he reels across the stage after
repeated visits to the saloon of the stage
village, his every move is a picture OF a
good-natured. staggering drunk. and
when he finally totters and falls, the ap-
plause is tremendous.
THAT dog cost me just s.. 40." volunteer
ed Gillette. "Tn Marseiles I advertised
for poodles and a Spaniard brought in
eight or ten that he had probably accu-
mulated in the streets OF the city. Even
then Marquis was full OF tricks. and
found that he was n born comedian. II
is no trouble to teach a dog like that"
One of the most striking features of Gill
lette's show Is that the dogs and monkeys
have the stage entirely to themselves. No
trainer appears during the entire act, and
yet the animals go through their various
turns with remarkable accuracy. THE
audience consider that the most remarka-
BILE feature OF the act" said Gillette on
this point. "As matter OF fact. II is one
Of the simplest. The dogs learn that part
very easily, while Il takes from 10 TO IL
months TO train a dog to make music on
sleigh bells. 1t Is pleasure to train an
intelligent dog or monkeys"

that the boss has his residence in this

the previous record of the party, and
which he treated I'm detail.

clared:

EX-SENATOR THURSTON.
What are the conditions this year?"
asked ex-senator Thurston. Are they
any different from other years? No; It's
the same old tory--self-government In
the state of Rhode Island just the same
as Il was 90 years ago, and will be until
we get it.

FUNDAMENTAL
MACDONALD

THE fundamental political evil to be
got rid OF in Rhode Island is dishonesty"
said Prof. Macdonald of Brown university
at a good citizenship rally OF the Provi-
dence Christian Endeavor union held last
evening at the Cranston Street Baptist
church.
He urged that his hearers make
ltical dishonesty in public affairs, declar-
ing that in no other way could the evil he
described be abolished from Rhode Island
public life.
The rally was opened with devotional
exercises conducted by Rev. L. L. Hem
son, ID. ID. Special music was given by the
quartet OF the Fourth Baptist church
Prof. MacDonald's subject was Some
Civic Problems in Rhode Island"
"A great deal has been written" he
said. "about political conditions In Rhode
Island which makes decidedly unpleasant
reading Unfortunately much OF what has
been said of US at this point Is true"
The speaker referred briefly In illustra-
ton to political reform movements In
other states, especially New Hampshire.
Kansas and California. and continued:
THE fundamental political evil TO be
got rid OF in Rhode Island is dishonesty.
The systematic buying and sailing OF
votes. especially In the smaller towns,
but also I'm the cities; the coercion OF city
officials and employees promises OF reform
I'm political platforms and neglect OF them
after election: nomination OF good men
for office In order TO give responsibility to
n corrupt machine; the use OF money TO
| corrupt the members OF an opposing
party: partisan and misleading reports In
newspapers, and ingenious evasion ana
Misrepresentation in public discussion
these are crying evils in the political life
of this state. Reduced to plain terms, they
are simply varied forms OF dishonesty.
How can we best cope with thls eVil!
First OF all. we need conviction OF our
personal responsibility. What we call So
cieiv f. only an aggregation OF individ-
nails and social conditions arc precisely
what we make them. II is useless To
nreach virtue, or honesty, or industry or
nubllc spirit unless as individuals we cul-
tivate those qualities in ourselves.
"In the second place. we need as high
a standard OF honesty and honor I'm public
arfaIrs as we insist upon I'm private.
"IastIy. VIC can help powerfully In the
solution OF our civic problems by culti-
waiting the spirit OF united effort"

VIII elected as senator. He is a man
above reproach.
How about the candidates for your
suffrages I'm Warwick? Have you heard
Mr. Bowen say how he was going to
stand-other than TO vote for Wetmorer
Ask him how he stands-you have a right
20 know. You are the men who are inter
ested and you should know how they
stand.
"Brayton says he won't sell any more
law at the state house-that Is, In the
sherifr's office. and then what does he
town and sends UP a man on the state
ticket to do 1t bor hin,-Mr. Watrous, the
auctioneer."
COL p II. QUINN.
In opening his addresses Col. Quinn said
in part:
This meeting is the opening gun OF an
other battle for decent government i'm
this state and in this town. No. II 10
not another battle. but a continuation of
the ono In which We engaged one year
ago under the joint banner of the Demo-
cratic and Lincoln parties. 1t is not a
partisan contest. for the Lincoln party Ia
made up of men whose natural political
affiliations are with the Republican
party. But these patriotic citizens have
drawn the line between Republican prin~
ciples and the Republican machine.
"They revolt at the thought of elect
senator a man who would never have
been nominated by any political party
for any office We're II not for his money.
A man totally untitled for such a posi-
| ton, who cannot express himself upon
any subject without reading his remarks
| In manner that would reflect upon the
standing OF a child In the fourth grade
! of one of our Warwick schools; who
/ during his IL years membership In the
| United States senate is reported to have
addressed the chair but twice, and then
| upon trivial matters.
"A man who is made the butt OF ridi-
cule by the press of Washington and OF
| the country. and who is pronounced by
| the leading Republican newspapers OF
| this state to be unfit for the position to
| which he aspires A man who sends his
butler to speak for him when the press
| OF the state attempts to interview him
| upon questions of public moment. And he
| Is put forth as the candidate of the So
| called reform element Of the Republican
party"
