HOT ONIONS FOR PNEUMONIA.
Dread Disease Robbed of Its Terrors
by Simple Remedy.

Owing to the prevalence of pneu-
monia and the great mortality which
attends it's 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 a 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
LEGATION as it has appeared in the pa
pers of Washington:
Take six or ten onions, according
to size, and chop fine, put in large
spider over a hot fire, then add the
same quantity of rye meal and vine
gar enough to form thick paste. In
the meanwhile stir it thoroughly let
ting 1t simmer five or ten minutes.
Then put in a cotton bag large enough
to cover the lungs and apply to chest
as hot as patient can bear. In about
ten minutes apply another, and thus
continue by relocating the poultices.
and in 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 perspiration
| starts freely from the chest. This rem
edy was formulated many years ago
| by one of the best physicians New
| England has ever known, who never
| lost a patient by the disease, and won
his renown by simple remedies"

The pope recently entertained the
members of the Sacred college with
the recital of how a certain gold coin
had been given to him as jubilee gift
by the diocese Of Acqui. This coin
WAS discovered in 1898, while excava-
tions were being made for the founda.
lion of a new church at Acqui. Upon
examination it was found to be the
only coin in existence of the period
OF innocent TX. The diocese OF Acqui
WAS unable to pay the architect who
had drawn the plans for the new
church. SO it gave him the coin with
the understanding that If he sold 1t
for more than $1,000, the amount of
his hill. the surplus should be returned
10 the diocese Later the clergy col.
lected the $1,000, bought the coin, and
presented it to the pope, This coin
WAS the only one lacking to complete
the Vatican collection of coins issued
under all the popes.

MISS" or "Mrs.7"

A number of unmarried English
women, who have reached an age
about which it would be ungenerous to
Enquire too closely, have been com
planning in the papers of the rule that
all married women shall be called
Mrs" and all unmarried women
Miss" no matter what their ages may
be They point out the fact that
hoy. who is Master" in his early life,
becomes "Mr." by the mere lapse OF
time. whether he marries or not; but
that a girl who begins as Miss, con-
finues to be Miss" until she marrles.
This was not always the case, as the
curious may discover by. looking up
the history of Miss" Mrs. ana
Mistress" The English women main
tain that the title by which they are
called, as spinsters, is not conducive
TO the Difference which is accorded to
married women, and which they de-
mand for themselves. The remedy
they propose-that all women be
called Mrs" after reaching the age OF
40-would be of doubtful efficacy.
Men would go on calling their women
acquaintance Miss until they re-
ceived what the newspapers call OIL
cial" notice that the age limit was
passed. The old "darky" woman
stated a fact of general application,
says Youths Companion, when she
said that the happiest person is an old
maid when she has quit strugglin'.
The woman who cares whether she
is called Miss" or Mrs" when her
hair is turning, is still "strugglin'.'

The state department of agriculture
has taken a step which may help to
solve the problem of adjusting the
matter of labor for farms and at the
same time put jewellers in the city in
the way of acquiring knowledge and
health says the Troy On. " Times.
The department has issued bulletin
asking for volunteers from boys and
girls in high schools who wish en-
ployment during the summer vacation.
The boys arc to have farm work of a
rs aiding in the planting and gather
ing of crops and helping the farmers
in other ways, all of which will tend
to tighten the labor of the agriculture
fst and also give the boys valuable in,
sight into farm life. The girls for
the most part are expected to serve
as clerks and stenographers and to
do light duty about summer resorts, al
though probably there will be no OBJ
lection to letting those so disposed act
as helps to rural housewives. That
the idea is not wholly repellent to the
youthful element is shown by the fact
that there are already over $500 APP
pIications from high school boys Of
New York city alone, the young fell
lows being DESTROYS of engaging in
the occupations suggested. Who knows
ent will be the successful farmer of
the future?

RETURNS COMING IN.
High Schools of State Affected by
Court Decision on Barnes Law.

The decision on the Barnes high
school law handed down by the SUI
preme court Saturday puts an end 20
the Saline county high school. Nine
thousand dollars was collected last year
for the expense of the institution but
this sum has been expended and the
levy made for this years expenses
cannot be collected and the school must
be closed.
Referring to the decision of the su-
preme court County Attorney G. w.
Burch of Saline county said: 1ndica-
lions are that the decision of the su-
preme court knocks out the Barnes law
absolutely as far as this county is con
cerned. The issues as presented in tina ::
Allen county case were the reverse OF
conditions which might have arisen
here. There it was sought to man
danus the county commissioners to
make the levy and the supreme court
holds that the mandamus will not lie
Here the plan was adopted of seeking
to prevent the collection of the tax, and
it is my judgment that the points
which We're at issue here have been
settled by the Allen county decision.
This decision will not necessltate the
return of the money collected for high
school purposes last year, for 1t is my
understanding that the case decided by
the supreme court was not filed until
after last years tax had been levied
and collected. What effect the law will
have on money thus far collected this
year in this county [ am not prepared
to say

DALTON In A RAID.
The Old Bandit in Action Again for
Moving Picture Film

Coffeyville. Kan, Dec. 17.-Under
the personal direction of Emmett Dali
ton here the Dalton raid of sixteen
years ago was re-enacted for a moving
picture company. Nearly 1000 feet
of films were made. In the original
raid in 1892 Emmett Dalton was Sc
verely wounded and three of his COM
panions were killed.
Dalton selected four companions
from a theatrical company. He pick
ed them as nearly as possible to re-
semble his two brothers and his two
companions in the raid. When the
selections were made the five men
went to the dressing rooms of the
theater and selected regulation cow
boy attire. Then they mounted horses
and rode to the timber. The first pic
ture was that of the breakfast on the
banks of Onion creek, just before rid
ing into the city for the robbery. An
amusing feature was the usual morning
target practice. This consisted of
placing an egg on a post and firing at
it with revolver. As the flash of the
revolver showed in the picture the egg
was broken. The shot that broke it,
however, came not from the revolver,
but from a shotgun fired at it from
an unseen point.
The target practice was followed by
race through the country roads In
this Emmet Dalton shows very plain
ly. Next is seen one of the oldest
houses in the city where there is an
old fashioned outside stairway. The
bandits rob this house in great style.
Many pictures of the buildings occu-
pied by the banks in 1892 were taken
today. The interiors of the banks must
be stage pictures, however, as the To-
cal banks would not listen to any
proposition to be used as the scenes
for a repetition of the bloody battle
of October 3, 1892. The moving pic
ture battles will be fought out on the
stage of a theater and then be thrown
on the film in connection with the ac-
tual buildings to give the picture
fairly accurate resemblance to what
took place in the real raid.
There is some feeling here against
Dalton for taking part in the NOV
ing picture show.
Emmett Dalton, while out on parole
prior to his pardon by Governor Hoch,
said that he never expected to use the
fact that he had ever been a member
of an outlaw gang for personal gain.
What I want to do" he said, sis to
forget that I was ever mixed up in
that sort of business in any way 1
just want a chance to get out in the
world and make decent, honest liv-
ing"
Dalton criticised Cole Younger for
advertising his former connection
with the James boys in travelling
shows.

Kidneys Cured by This
SinDle Treatment.

Get your druggist to mix the
following ingredients: One-half
ounce fluid extract Buchu, one
ounce of compound fluid Balm
wort and two ounces of syrup
Sarsaparilla compound. Shake
well and take a teaspoonful be-
fore each meal and one when
retiring. Drink plenty of water,
but little of any liquid at meal
times
The Buchu is an excellent
tonic for the kidneys and blad-
der, but combined with the ex-
cellent qualities of Balmwort
and Sarsa parilla, its efficacy is
ten times greater. The great
urinary specialist, Gaut, whose
single fees range from $500 to
$1,000, acknowledges in his la
test reports that this simple
mixture is most reliable and will
cure all but the most complicat-
ed and aggravated kidney and
bladder affections; therefore, it
is well worth trying.
Putting under the eyes, back
ache, headache and dizzin ess,
burning of the eyes, blurred Wis q.
ion, extreme nervousness, and
insomnia all indicate urinary
trouble. Many more symptoms
could be named, but the reader
will surely recognize them.

A Great Land Opening.

"A number of exceptional op-
perfumes are now being offered
by the Government for enter
prlsing and intelligent farmers
to secure choice farms on dozen
or more large irrigation projects
which are nearing completion.
Owing to the rapid narrowing
OF the limits of the unoccupied
public domain, it is doubtful if
these opportunities will ever &C.
cur again. 1t is probable, there,
fore, that the West will see one
OF the greatest inhuxes of home
seekers in 1908 that has been
witnessed in many years.
The great fertility and won
derful crop yields from irrigated
lands, and the favorable terms
the Government offers settlers,
warrants the belief that before
the year closes not a single
farm will be without it's entry
man. These farms are located
In North Dakota, Montana, Wy
oming and Nevada.
A letter addressed to The
Statistician, U. S. Reclamation
Service, Washington, D. G., will
secure full information concern
ing the location, soil, climate,
crop possibilities, and terms of
disposal.
