CALIFORNIA POINTS WAY

IN some sections, especially through
the great fruit belts OF California,
splendid success il dust suppression has
been attained By spraying the dirt roads
with oils possessing asphaltic bases In
other portions of the country the wise
administering OF coal tar preparations
has aided 10 a great extent. and drench-
ing with calcium chloride has shown
that the dust can be kept at mini
mum.
Those methods. however, are not per-
feet solutions or the vast problem or

They are merely palIiatives. and while
they are being advocated in such Sec

Passenger New to the Sea Receives
Lucid Explanation.

passengers besides Sometimes. how
ever, the passengers take the matter
into their own hands, and instruct 9th
ers more ignorant than themselves.
The purser on . wellknown liner
tells Of q lady who had made a pas
sage before. and who in consequences
felt a superior knowledge of maritime
things. .....-.
Several ladies were grouped in the
stern, this one among them. when
their attention was attracted by the
log with its long line attached to the
rail.
why, what can that be-" inquired
one of the party.
THAR" said the knowing one.
well, you see the vessel has to keep
in communication with the land. and
in order to tell Just how far they have
got on the passaee they keep one end
tied to the dock. and BY looking at
the amount of line paid out they can
tell just how far they are from the
other side"
"Oh!" exclaimed the other, after
this lucid explanation. We'll, have
always heard Of the log. but never
knew what one was before. Thank
you so much!"-Youth's Companion.

girl to the Ni,z farm adjoining. for help.
When the Nitz boys arrived at the Best

Remedy for Choking.

Raising the left arm as high as you
can will relieve choking much more
rapidly than the act Of humping ones
back" said physician, land it is we'll
that everyone should know 1t. for often
a person gets choked while eating
where there is no one near to thump
him. Very frequently at meals and
when they are at play. children get
choked while eating. and the custom
airy manner of relieving them is to
slap them sharply on the back. The
effect of this is to set the obstruction
free. The same thing can be brought
about by raising the left hand Of the
child as high as possible and the relief
comes much more quickly. In happen
ings of this kind there should be NO
alarm, for II the child sees that older
persons or parents get excited the ef-
feet is bad. The best thing Is to tell
the child to raise it's left arm and i'm
mediately the difficulty passes away"
