One OF our staunch Republicans re-
fuses TO buy pork weighed on Demo-
cratic balances. Why?
a few years ago Uncle Sam tried TO
wipe us off the maps by means OF Rural
Free Delivery. But the name OF Bay
View still exists and has to be ack
nowledged even by the promoters of
Postal Laws Recently second at
tempt has been made to destroy the
name OF Bay View by the new Road
Laws. and thousands OF dollars are
being expended to pay men to shovel
and haul away the beautiful hill which
for So many years has been the obser-
walton point from which to view the
bay Now, we wonder il the Almighty
made mistake in the formation OF
these beautiful hills And we would
make suggestion to the wise officials
OF Government. State and County-to
make a third attempt at our destruc-
ton. and invent a sponge by which
some OF their disengaged subjects can
mop up the waters OF the Chesapeake.

toll and would travel. The goal had
been reached. The $4,000 was in

journey were made. but before their
completion the wife fell i'll and died
Alexander says he never hesitated
In his purpose to make the trip as
planned and to take along his wifes
body from the moment of her death.
He says that his pleasure is dulled and
even ruined by her death. but that is
no reason why she should be left be-
hind when he had promised her that
she should make the journey.
Il know that she cannot see the

HOT ONIONS FoR PNEUMONIA.
Drssd Disease Robbed Of its Tsrrors
BY Simple Remedy.

Owing to the prevalence Of pnsu-
monia and the great mortality which
attends its ravages during the winter
and spring. several boards Of health
in northern New Jersey have been tax
ing measures to protect the citizens of
their towns from the disease. The
health board Of Washington, n. J.. has
published = remedy which is said to
be a sure cure for pneumonia, and
other health boards are looking into
the matter with a view OF having the
same thing published for the good OF
the general public This is the pub
location rs it has appeared in the pa
pers of Washington:
Take six or ten onions. according
to size. and chop fine. put in a large
spider over . hot fire, then add the
same quantity of rye meal and vine
gar enough to form a thick paste In
the meanwhile stir 1t thoroughly, let
ting II simmer FIVE or ten minutes.
Then put in cotton bag large enough
to cover the lungs and apply to chest
as hot rs patient can bear. In about
ten minutes apply another, and thus
continue by relocating the poultices,
and in q few hours the patient will be
out Of danger. This simple remedy
has never failed to cure this too-often
fatal malady. Usually three or four
applications will be SUFFICIENT, but con-
tinue always until the Precipitation
starts freely from the chest This rem.
edy was formulated many years ago
