When to Use Medicines in Pneumonia.


Dudley Morgan declares that there are
some cases Of pneumonia which require
only intelligent and systematic guidance
and nursing. Others need little medicine
but when it is Indicated 1t should be given
promptly and energetically Even in the
most trying cases there is little else needed
than disitalis, strychnine and ice In nearly
AL cases of pneumonia 1t is a good plan to
start with quiet and rest unloading of the
bowels when necessary. a variety of nour-
ishing liquid food. and an ice bag on the
chest In the region of the pain and conges-

Five Acres a Competency.

From Maxwells Talisman
Farming lands are advancing in value by
leaps and bounds. Improved methods of
cultivation and more accessible markets
make five acres in many instances a more
valuable possession than one hundred and
sixty acres q generation or two ago. The
Department of Agriculture declares five
acres ample for the support of family.
How foolish then, to continue giving away
the small remnant of the nations cultiva lie

After Tax DODGERS.

| Cussed in the house of representatives
n distinguished New York orator
fought 1t on the strange ground that
II would compel the plutocrqts Of Co
than TO commit perjury. That is, they
would risk their immortal souls rather
than lose the almighty dollar, which
was a sad commentary on what Marse
Henry Watterson lectures about with
so much eloquence-to wit, manners
and Morals" Perhaps It was an over
wcenlng desire to save the souls of the
plutocrats aforesaid by taking from
them the necessity of committing per-
jury which induced the supreme court
of the United States TO declare the in
come tax unconstitutional by that 3
10 4 decision which is an indelibe
blot on that great tribunal though It
was not so stated in the opinion. That
would have been a better reason than
any which the court gave for upsetting
and reversing the decision of a cen
tury. Various legislatures have en-
deayored TO reach and punish tax
dodgers and to get the taxes out Of
them, with varying degrees of success
Hon. Joseph Hill Hall of Bibb county,
Ga, proposes TO introduce into the
legislature most drastic measure
heroic treatment, as the doctors would
say-as to tax dodgers. Among other
things, he proposes to disfranchse
them. The rest Of the country will
watch the operation Of DR. Halls pre-
scription with profound interest. If
, 1t effects cure in Georgia, it is likely
to be universally adopted, thereby
making Hon. Joseph Hill Hall i'm
mortal.

There is universal regret in the
south, as there certainly will be every
where throughout the land, that Pat
rick Calhoun, a lineal descendant of
both Patrick Henry and John Caldwell
Calhoun, Is mixed up in the bribe Civ
ing cases in San Francisco, and the
prayer of all good people is that,
though he has been indicted along with
Abe Rucf, Mayor Schmitz and others,
his innocence may he made to clearly
appear, for two purer statesmen never
lived than Patrick Henry and John G.
Calhoun. While they can in no way
be held responsible for the doings Of
Patrick Calhoun, 1t would be delightful
to know that their virtues survive in
him. His guilt would he sweet NOR
sci for the addle pated pessimists who
are forever exploiting the degeneracy
of our times.

Texas Is a magnificent and mammoth
commonwealth, which never does any
thing by halves. With her 1t is whole
hog or none. First and last she has
essayed many difficult stunts. Perhaps
the most difficult is to curb the trusts.
She has gone at that in dead earnest
| The other day one of her courts fined
| the Waters Pierce oil trust $1,623,900
and issued an order of custer, which Is
coming it rather strong as a starter. A
| few more such doses and the trusts
will give Texas wide berth. OF
course the case will be appealed, but
nevertheless and Notwithstanding, it's
! first blood for Texas in her fight
| against the whole tribe of Octopi, and
| first blood counts for nearly as much
in lawsuit as in prize fight. My
observation and experience are that it
| is much more pleasant and profitable
TO gain n case in a nisi prius court
than to lose it. SO up to this writing
Texas is ahcad-away ahead-in her
antitrust crusade. In this connection il
may be not in apropOs TO jog the pub
lie memory with the fact that Texas
has the best and most sensible railroad
rate regulating law of all the states Of
the Union, one result of which is that
her cities are all growing at something
approximating uniform rate. 1t goes
without saying that the fight to regu
late or destroy the trusts is a stupen-
dous one, but the American people can
accomplish anything on which they set
their heads for the public good, and the
signs of the times indicate that they
have made up their minds to get rid OF
the trusts. Congress is trying it, the
state legislatures are busy at II, and the
united forces of state and nation will

able degree before certain of his con

Cessor, though the prccedents in the
grand old volunteer state are in fa-
vor OF two terms of two years each
for chief magistrate. The election
does not take place for considerably
more than year, but certain Tennes-
seeans are whooping It up for Hon. Ed
ward Ward Carmack, eX-represcntative
and ex-senator in congress, for the gu
bernatorial office. Carmack went out
of the senate on the 4th of last March
in Il blaze of glory by reason of the
fact that he talked the ship subsidy
bill to death. He has not signiied his
intentions in the matter, but not long

lowing resolution was passed:
