THE ART or GARGLINe.
Not the Same Thing as the Process
Usually Followed.

Usually Followed.
The proper method Of gargling IS
thus described by writer in the Med
ical Record:
"The patient (at first under the guild
ance Of physician, should sit well
back in chair, take . swallow of wa.
ter in the mouth and bend the head as
far back as possible.
"Now he must protrude the tongue
from the mouth (the tip of the tongue
may be grasped with ia handkerchief)
and in this posture with protruding
tongue he must try to swallow the wa
ter. The physician should control the
patients vain efforts, for it's impossl-
Bile to swallow under such circum-
stances,
.eThe patient has the sensation as It
he actually had swallowed the water.
Now he must start to gargle, to exhale

...Afte1 gargling thus sor awhile the
patient Is ordered to close the mouth
and quickly throw head and body for
ward. Thereby all the fluid is forced
through the choanoe and nostrils,
washing the throat and nose from be-
hind and expelling all the accumula-
tions that had been present with great
force.
"This should be repeated several
times, as the first trial is not always
successful and satisfactory. 1t is an
act that must be learned.
"When properly executed the sensa-
ton, as the patient will assure you. is
that of great relief not had by any
other method. 1t will be wise for the
practitioner to try the method first on
himself. Even small children who are
at all clever learn the method readily
and rather enjoy It."

SOLDIERS OCCUPY BELFAST

Belfast. Aug. THE troops took pos
session of the streets Of the city this
morning. The first indication Of this
change in the situation was the posting
Of pickets in Custom House square.
Detachments Of the Middlesex. Sussex.
and Essex regiments were then marched

are watching the progress OF the military
occupation.
The placing Of the streets in charge Of
the troops had a magical effect on bust

than during any week since the strike
began. Some mills which had closed be

Of the strikers or give any consideration
whatever to their complaint. and the
strikers were soon busy looting wagons
and drays on their way to and from the
docks, burning such of the goods as they
did not want and throwing the vehicles
into the water
Early in July matters were made worse
by a sympathetic strike Of the coal car
tiers, who also had grievances of their
own. This caused the closing Of mills
and factories. and seriously affected the
general business of the city. But toward
the middle of July the strikers were
showing indications of WEAKNESS, loo

Of the trouble seemed TO be in sight.

The main purpose Of the commissions

formulated by Count Tornieln as follows;
ANY balloons used for destructive pur-
poses in warfare should be dirigible. and
be manned by regular military crews.

course would be to simply apply the

The reports indicate that MOSQUES and
