Her Arms Are Blistcred.
Dear Madame Alta:
Please give me a remedy for sun
burn. My arms were exposed to the
sun while boating and are terribly red
and blistered. If you can help me l
will be grateful. Yours. FOLLY.
For sunburned arms take two ounces
of pure honey, three drains citric acid
and one ounce of bay rum or pure
grain alcohol. put all together and
shake we'll before applying to the arms.
Honey and pure cider vinegar mixed
thoroughly will also give relief. Work
the mixture well into the hands, wipe
them carefully with a dry towel and
powder with talcum.
A Cure for Warts.
Dear Madame:
My hands and fingers are terribly
disfigured by warts, so much so that
I seldom If ever go without gloves on
the street, even in the hot weather
when nearly everyone discards gloves.
Your advice will be greatly appre-
ciatec. ANXIOUS.
You will find a sure cure for warts
in the following simple remedy: Put a
drop of strong vinegar on the wart,
using just as much of the soda as the
one drop of vinegar will hold. Let it
remain on ten minutes, and repeat the
operation two or three times, if need
be.

PAY THE CHURCH CLAIMS.
Senator Martin Makes strong Arsu-
mcnt for This Provision of Bill.
From our Rer,,Iar cnrre.nnndap, L

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 49,
Senator Martin spoke at some length
in the Senate to-day in behalf of the
omnibus claims bill. which has passed
the House, and which has been amend /.
ed in many Important particulars in the
Senate COMMITTEES on Claims. The SEN
ate committee put on many amend
ments, and the bill was reported. Later
the bill was recommitted and a large
portion of the Senate items Were
stricken out, and the bill. thus sf1ornl
was reported to the Senate once morn.
The committee took the ground that
the churches, damages to which formed
the basis of nearly all the new claims
added to the bill in the Senate were
damaged through the taking of the
lumber for use in building bridges or
for other military purposes, and that
the government should not repay them
for the lumber thus taken.
Senator Martin combated this po-
sition. replying chiefly upon the com
mittee report prepared by the late
Senator Hoar some years ago on the
claim of William and Mary College
The Massachusetts statesman wrote a
very illuminating report on the sub
ject, in which he took broad masnani-
nous ground. recommending the pay
ment of the claim. The payment OF
the claim was authorized and the col
lege actually received the money.
Senator Martin made a lawyers
argument on the question. and finally
Senator Fulton. chairman of the COM
mittee, agreed to allow each claim to
be considered on its merits as an
amendment as the consideration of the
bill progresses in the Senate
It is believed this agreement will
result in all or practically all of the
church claims being embraced in the
bill when it passes the Senate.
The Court of Claims has passed on
each one of these claims, yet the ma
jority of the Claims Committee pro-
posed to have them sent back to the
court. with Instructions to find the
actual value of the material taken
