THE ART OF GAReLING.
Not the Same Thing as the Process

Not the Same Thing as the Process
Usually Followed.
The proper method of gargling is
thus described by writer in the Med
lcal Record:
'.The patient (at first under the guild
nnce Of a physician) should sit well
back in n chair, take swallow of wa
ter i'll 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 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 is impossi.
BILE to swallow under such circum-
stances.
'The patient has the sensation as II
he actually had swallowed the water.
Now he must start to gargle, to exhale
air slowly. One can see plainly the
bubbling Of the fluid in the wide open
pharynx.
"After gargling thus for awhile the
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 he.
hind and eNpelling all the accumula.
tlons that haa 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 tile
practitioner to try the method first on
himself Even small children who are
ut all clever learn the method readily
and rather enjoy it."

MEASURESTREAM
TO GAUGE FLOOD
RAILROADS WILL COOPERATE
WITH GOVERNMENT IN GATH
ERING DATA OF FLOOD WA.
TIERS TO CONSERVE WASTE.

Washington, Sept 2S.-Director
George Otis Smith, Of the United
States geological survey, has invited
officers of the leading railways OF
the country to a conference on q CO.
operative plan by which it Is ex-
pected the railroads will be able to
save thousands of dollars year.
The plan also contemplates most
effective assistance to the govern.
ment on the part of the railroads.
The time and pace OF the proposed
conference is to be agreed upon later.
The scheme,( which has already
been approved by a number of the
engineers Of the leading lines, IL
one for the gathering of the facts
as to the amount Of water flowing In
the rivers of the country under GER
tain conditions and at different time.
Of the year. Naturally the railroads
have been the chief sufferers from
floods in the basins where their
track lie. They have suffered not
only from damage to their own prop
erty. but they have been sued by
other corporations and private citf-
zens on the ground that their bridg-
es anr culverts were the causes OF
food damage The railroad authori-
ties have felt that many Judgments
against the roads might not have
been rendered If they had been able
To- produce authentic figures on the
floods. But they have not been able
to do this. The national conserva-
ton commission has been advised OF
the proposed. plan and whatever re-
suits come from 1t will undoubtedly
be considered by the commission at
this Joint meeting with the COVER
nors Of the states, or their represen~
tatives here next winter.
Place Gauges on Bridges.
The survey suggests that the rail-
| way companies place guages on the
bridges and culyerts of their roads
and commission some Of ther EN-
pIoyes to take daily readings. The
survey agrees to have its experts
make frequent visits to these stations
and take actual current meter meas
| rrements so that a rating table OF
each channel will be available.
For many years the survey has
| been studying the flow OF rivers in
various basins of the country Az
present II is engaged in putting the
| information gained by its study in
! to shape for use by the conservation
commission, together with other in
formation which it is gathering es-
pecially for the inventory Of the
country's natural resources that the
commission is preparing.
The survey has been unable to ex-
tend it's observations to many re-
gions where the information would
be of vital importance because II
lacks funds. The cooperation OF the
railroads would permit the survey TO
cover other regions.

parties may go there to spend the
day.
Steptoe butte is one Of the highest
points in the Palouse country and

Pullman, Wash.-Apple harvest
will soon begin here, and a fairly

the fruit will not be quite as large
as last year, owing to the continued
dry weather, there are more trees in
bearing than ever before, and it is
thought the total yield will not fall
far below that of 1907, which was
the record crop for this section.

COL. TOM DAVIS
AGAINST BRYAN
But That is All He Will Say
About the Brooks Smith
Interview.

WHEELING, May 2S.-Among
the Democratic politicians in the city
for the convention is one very prom
lnent man who is not pleased with
the Bryan sentiment in West Virginia
and the country generally. This is
Col. Tom Davis of Keyser Col Da-
is is brother of Henry G. Davis and
was a member OF the last congress
from the second district. He says:
In the section from which come
there Is very strong sentiment for
Mr.. Bryan, but personally l have
been opposed to Mr.. Bryan and think
the Democrats Of the country will
make a mistake when they nomln-
ated him. which they Will no doubt
do.
What the Democrats need this year
for them to win is candidate who
will be able to carry New York state
and I do not think Mr.. Bryan can
carry that state.
There are a number of candidates
who would be stronger than Mr..
Bryan. I think Governor johnson
would be stronger. but the strongest
man they could put up would be
Judge Gray, who would receive the
solid labor vote"
