Bundle Foot.

This starts with a corn on the sole
of the foot, caused by hard or stony
fowl runs, or by birds having to
jump from high perches on to hard
floor. If noticed when only the thick
ness of the skin it can be cured by
pairing away and removing bird to
soft or sandy run. But If neglected
for some time the corn increases,
eventually going right through the
foot, causing great pain and impedi-
ment in moving about, besides being
very unsightly. When it has reached
this stage it is very difficult to cure,
but it is cruel to allow fowl to go
hobbling about with this distressing
complaint. Great relief may be given
by penning the bird up in a coop
thickly covered with straw and poul-
ticing the foot until the parts become
quite soft, when the yellow, cheesy
matter can be squeezed out. But this
is tedious work; it is much better
to take the small blade of sharp
pen-knife, insert it right through the
bad spot and cut outwards, severing
the web in two. 1t will bleed freely,
but if the operation is done under a
water tap, blood will soon cease to
flow. All the yellow secretions can
then be removed, and when all are
taken away thoroughly, wash out
with strong phenyle and water; APP
ply crude phenyle to the wounds and
carefully bind up the foot with linen
bands, tying each on separately SO
that the fowl can not pick them OF.
The bird should then only be allowed
to run on sand or straw until the
wound is healed. Farmers Home

FORTUNE AWAITS
RIGHT INVENTOR
GOVERNMENT WANTS DEVICE
FOR DELIVERING MAIL BAGS
SUBSTITUTE FOR TWINE
Something More Economical For
Bundling Up Letters is Desired.
Tuberculosis Quarantine Question
Widely Discussed.

Washington. - Second Assistant
Postmaster General McCleary is en-
deavoring to get American inventors
to contrive a substitute for Irvine,
which is used in large quantities for
tying up letters, and to design a ma
chine which will deliver mail bags
from swiftly moving trains. A big
fortune awaits the man who solves
either problem.
"Every day hundreds Of mail sacks
are thrown from fast moving trains
onto the platforms Of stations where
it is impossible to make stops" said
General McCleary. "The bags are
frequently forced under the wheels
by suction, are ground to pieces and
the mail is scattered broadcast. If
they escape destruction in this way
they are badly torn and knocked
about by ordinary rough handling
The government has hunted in vain
for practical device for catching
these flying mail bags. A simple hook
device has been adopted by which =
passing train takes up waiting mail
bag. This is done by means of a
hook and catcher. The scheme has
been tried for delivering bags, but has
been found unsuccessful, the momen-
tum gained in discharging the 200
pound bags being too great to be with
stood by a device Of this kind. The
government will pay big price for
the use of a patent which solves this
problem
eve are also looking for an econ
omical substitute for Irvine. In every
postoffice Of the country letters are
wrapped up with tWine on being made
ready for delivery. The government
pays hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars every year for twine. We have
had all kinds Of substitutes offered,
but none have proved satisfactory.
Plenty Of practical devices have been
submitted for bundling up letters, bwE
they all failed before the test Of quick
ly untying them. One snap Of the
scissors and the Irvine is severed. a
good fastener which can be disposed
of instantly will be worth quite a
fortune to the INVENTOR

Another War.

State Department advices by ca
bic from various points In Central

threatening conditions In that quarter
of the world. The advices are vague
but it is supposed that Guatemala and
Salvador are preparing to resist what
they expect to be fresh attack FROM

reports from San Salvador that news
has reached him to the effect that the
Nicaraguan government is raising
troops at Point Coseguine. This place
is on the Northern Pacific border Of
Nicaragua and directly opposite the
Salvadoran coast.
Minister Merry also reported on the
case of the American citizens, George
and Edward Moissant, who have been
imprisoned in Salvador on the charge
Of completely in the. last attempt to
revolution. The minister states that
the property Of these Americans ap-
pears to be in danger by the action
of the Salvadoran troops. He has
mailed a detailed report. Meanwhile
the department. has cabled instruc-
tions to the commander of the gum
boat Yorktown to make an independ-

Tuberculosis Quarantine.

Medical men both III and out o1
the government service are discussing
the decision of the Texas Health au-
thorities to debar consumptives from
that state, and generally they agree
that such action can be taken with
out legal objection.
A retired Army Surgeon, of the
Army, commenting upon the subject
today, said:
Il am personally Of the opinion
that the quarantine against tubercu-
losis can be enforced in the same man
ner that it can against scarlet fever.
The question presented Is a peculiar
and delicate one. There are two
classes to be considereo-the sick and
the well. can appreciate the feel
ing Of the well people Of Texas, and
other Western States, too, who daily
have hundreds Of consumptives
thrown into their midst, sometimes
in the last stages Of the disease. Were
these inyalids all people Of means.
able to obtain the proper medical at
tention, the situation might be differ
ent, but it is a lamentable fact that
a number Of tuberculosis patients Wis
it southern Texas who are barely able
to pay their railroad fare there. The
case is all the more pathetic when the
sufferer is financially unable to pay
for skilled treatment and as last re-
sort fees to pure air and dry climate
provided by nature. Deah in a great
many cases follows soon after, and
instances are not enfreauent where
the city and state authorities have %
provide means of burial.
"The Marine Hospital authorities
some years ago considered a matter
of this kind, and at that time con-
sidered the passing Of regulations
which would prevent the entrance
into the United States, by way Of
any of its ports, Of consumptives i'm
migrants. So bitter was the protest
against such discrimination, however,
on the part of the medical profession
generally that the idea was abandoned
and since that time no further effort
has been made to either national or
state authorities to quarantine tuber
culosis.
"Strictly speaking, I believe the
disease to be quarantinable, as it
is undoubtedly contagious; but as I
have said before, the courts will have
two entirely different classes to deal
with, each worthy Of consideration,
and their rights as American citizens,
those who are sick and those who are
blessed with health"

DIsCREDIT ORCHARD.
Vindicator Explosion Was Purely
Accidental.

Boise Idaho.-The attorneys for
William D. Haywood continue to cen
ter their efforts on the discrediting
Of Harry Orchard and the establish
ment Of their claim that Orchard kill
ed Frank Steunenberg in revenge for
the loss Of his interest in the Hercules
mine.
They directly attacked the Vindica-
tor explosion with the testimony of
witness. Thomas Wood, non-unionist
who entered the Vindicator mine as
a timberman after the strike began,
made it appear accidental, rather than
criminal.
Easterly and D. C. Copley, swore
that they heard Orchard tell of the
loss Of the Hercules mines and then
threaten to kill Steunenberg for II.
On cross examination the state scored
them both and particularly Easterly
who received two letters and one tel
ephone message from Orchard OH the
eve Of the killing of Stuenenberg.
Easterly contended that he did not
know Stuenenberg lived at Caldwell
and explained that although he knew
Thomas Hogan was Harry Orchard, he
took no steps Immediately after the
crime except to consult counsel for
the federation because he was not
an informer, and Copley asserted that
he did not take Orchard seriously
when they met in San Francisco and
he told him Of the Bradley crime.

Peculiar Complaint.

Acting Secretary. OF the Treasury
Reynolds has received a communica-
ton from the collector of South
ern port, in which, contrary to all
precedent, the collector recommends
the dismissal Of an emplove. There
are two reason given, the main one
being that the employee, who is a
boatman, is also a barber, and re-
fuses to lower the Custom-house flag
at the proper hour, because he Is too
busy with his tonsorial duties at that
particular time. The Collector sets
forth the reasons as follows:
"First-There is no revenue cutter
attached to the post any longer.
There is no boat to care.
sScond-The flag should be hauled
down at 4 O'Clock each day, but the
barber-boatman says that 4 o'clock
is his busy time, and that there are
always so many customers in his shop
and the Office has been abolished. The
Collector, instead, has been authoriz-
ed to hire some small colored boy as
messenger and have him haul down
the flag at the appointed hour.

District Attorney Devlin to assist the

anese in America shall enjoy all the
