HOT ONIONS FOR PNEUMONIA.
Dread Disease Robbed Of its Tsrrors
BY Simple Remedy.

Owing to the prevalence Of pneu-
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, y. j.. has
published remedy which is said to
be a sure cure for pneumonia. and
other health boards are looking into
the matter with view of having the
same thing published for the good Of
the general public. This is the pub
lication as 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 a hot fire, then add the
same quantity OF rye meal and vine
gar enough to form a thick paste. In
the meanwhile stir it thoroughly. let
ting IL simmer five or ten minutes.
Then put in 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 reheating the poultices,
and in a 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 sufi cient, 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 patient by the disease, and won
his renown by simple remedies"

UNION PACIFIC CALLS
FIVE DaYS A
week
Announces Reduction Of Work
ing Days as Result of
ROOSevelt'S Activity.
WILL CUT DOWN FORCE
ALL ALONG THE LINE

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 25.-The reduc-
ton in working hours of the men
employed in the shops of the Union
Poetic railroad, which began last
Monday, is to be followed after today
by a reduction of the number of
working days from six to five a week
This reduction will affect several
thousand men and it is stated that
1t will soon be followed by a general
reduction of the mechanical force
along the entire line
The World-Herald in an interview
today quotes Vice President Mohler
as charging the reduction to pres
ident Roosevelts mania for reform, -
and stating that the road will work
with reduced force In every de-
partment as long as President Roose-
welt continues his activity against the
corporations.

DELAYED WITNESSES
ARRIVE IN new YORK
Doctors and Trained Nurse from Eu-

Trial Monday.

New York, Jan. 25-Three physi-
clans and a trained nurse who were
brought from Europe to testify con-
cerning Harry Thaw's actions at
Monte Carlo, Paris and London. ar
rived today on the steamer Adriatic,
which was delayed in the storm.
The steamer had difficulty in get
ting past Sandy Hook on account Of
the heavy seas, and the delay caus-
ed a postponement Of the trial yes
terday.
These witnesses are probably the
last ones for the defense and they
will testify Monday. 1t is not thought
that any witnesses will be called in
rebuttal and as the examination OF
the four witnesses from Europe is
not expected to take up much time,
the case will probably be finished by
Monday night. Barring delays It will
go to the jury during the latter part
OF the week.

Roosevelt's most useful citizen"
Jacob \. Riis, who Is the guest OF
his father-in-law, r. F. Phillips. Of
5617 Clemens avenue. believes that
New York would be a perfect muni-
ciFaity if the nations executive
would become mayor of the metrop-
oils.
"Of course, it's only dream"
laughed the sociologist, when asked
about the possibility of Roosevelt
running for mayor. The president
as far as ! know, has no such plans
But wouldn't it be great if we could
talk him into taking the job? The big
stick would crush municipal graft out
Of existence, overcrowded tenements
would be put under the ban and New
York would get the greatest reform

would take the job ?"-and the speak
er smacked his lips in delight

JAPAN ISSUES ORDERS
TO CARRY OUT
POLICY
Government Will See That No
LdborerS Go to Countries
Where They Are Not
Wanted.
HAWAIIAN IMMIGRATION .
| STRICTLY PROHIBITED
Japanese Cannot Go There Unles.
They Have Relatives In the
Islands Mexico Gets
No More La
b0rers.

Toxic, Jan. 25.--To prove that its
promises made few days ago were
not merely perfunctory, the Japan
ese government has decided to begin
at once the limitation or emigration
10 foreign countries. Stringent in
structions were issued today to all
the governors and state officials
concerning the regulation by which
the emigration of laborers will be
governed In the future, in accord
ance with the policy which the gov
ernment announced a few days ago.
Laborers will not be permitted to
go to any country where they are
not desired, and those who do leave
Japan for a foreign country, must
do so under conditions which shall
be satisfactory to the governments
both OF Japan and the country to
| which the emigrant goes. No labor
ers Will be permitted to emigrate to
Mexico, and while this will cause
| some inconvenience to the Indus
tries of that country on account of
the prevailing shortage of labor, 1t
Will do away with the entrance of
| laborers to the United States.
In the instructions issued today to
the officials of emigration compan-
les of which there are some twenty
seven operating in Japan, the emf
grafton OF Japanese to the Hawaiian
Islands is absolutely prohibited. ex-
cept in the case OF those who already
have relatives there
| All officials having anything to dc
with the emigration of Japanese are
held to account for the strict fulfill
ment OF the orders issued by the
government and as a consequence the
Japanese emigration to the United
States and Canada will be greatly re-
| duced.

JUDGE SAYS PRACTICE
HAS BEEN STOPPED
Roads Are Hounded to Death by
Rebate Seekers. He Says. and
Are Not Always to Blame
Wants Chance at Those
Who Take Rebates.

Kansas City. Jan 25.-George l..
Thomas, a freight broker of New
York and l.. Il. Taggart, his clerk.
pleaded guilty in the United States
district court here today, to the
charge of conspiring to pay rebates
to shippers Judge Smith McPher-
son then fined Thomas $1,000 and
Taggart $4,000 He omitted the jail
sentence which he had previously
given the two men.
Both defendants were in court and
after sentence had been passed they
rendered checks covering the amounts
of the fines. The court accepted pay
ment and the defendants were re-
leased.
In reviewing the case Judge Nc
Pherson said that although his pre-
vious decision had been reversed by
the court of appeals, the reversal
was simply upon a technical point
and the government had been sue
cessful in proving every allegation of
any Importance in the case. He
said:
'In the full belief that the vicious
practices of these defendants and
the payment of rebates have been
Stpppeu, ana III lne tHdl lilt
practice of giving rebates generally
throughout the country has been
brought to an end by the rigorous
action of the government. through
the office OF the United States attor~
ney in this district, as well as in 9TH
er districts, ! cannot see that there
is any occasion for ordering these de-
PENDANTS imprisoned"
Judge Mcpherson took occasion to
say that he believed the Arms that
accepted rebates are as guilty as the
defendants and the railroads. and
that he could not understand why
they had never been indicted. He
would like, he said. to have the OPP
portunity of passing sentence on
| those who accepted rebates as well
| as on those who gave them.
Railroads" declared the judge
"are bounded to death by rebate
seekers. They are not entirely to
blame for all the rebating that has
been done"
