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 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 1t 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 1t thoroughly, let
ting 1t 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 relocating 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 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 patient by the disease, and won
his renown by simple remedies"

scholar recorded a flash of his own wit
which is of a most appealing variety.
At a dinner at Cambridge Sir Rich

woman, who got through the first
course with little conversation. Sud
denly she startled him by saying, in
the most unprovoked way while she
was still dining with apparent good
appetite:

New Chart corrsots Errnrs

The great practical utility of the
magnetic survey made in the Pacific
ocean by the yacht Galilee since 1905
is shown by a new magnetic chart,
from which it appears that the charts
previously used by navigators in the
pacific ocean were erroneous along
some much-traversed routes to the ex-
tent of from three to five degrees,
and the errors at times were syste-
matte. Errors of this magnitude are

revenues only as are collected under

In DEFENSE OF
COL. STEWART

WASHINGTON, May 11-senator Pay
ner, Of Maryland to-day introduced in
the Senate a resolution calling upon tho
President to appoint court Of inquiry
in the case of Col VIM. f. Stewart. who,
afterrefusing to resign from the army
which he had been requested to do be-
cause he was usually in hot water with
his subordinate officers or his troops
was exiled TO Fort Grant, an abandoned
military post in Arizona and later trans
ferred to antoher abandoned post in Flor
ida.
Rayner will address the senate on this
subject tomorrow and. in the course OF
his speech, it is likely that he will make
public the letter he recently received from
the President in which the latter declares
that as CommanderNin-Ch Chief Of the Army
he has absolute control Of the officers and
men.
Rayners resolution recites the fact
that Colonel Stewart had not been
served with copies Of the charges on
which his transfer was based and that
MS request { roa court of inquiry has
been denied. The punishment Of send
ing hi INTO an abandoned post. with
out command, was given without af-
fording him an opportunity to relieve
himself Of the charges or giving him
the slightest information regarding
their nature
The President is. therefore, author
lied to appoint court OF inquiry con-
sisting Of five army officers to fully
Investigate all the charges against Col
onel Stewart, the latter Is TO be repre-
sented by counsel and to be permitted
to be present during the examination
of witnesses.
Senator Rayner's personal interest
in the matter is because of the fact
that Stewart's wife is a relative of the
late Senator Whyte, Of Maryland.

a noise resembling the falling Of a
house and Mr. Wagner duclked his
head expecting every second that either
the roof was coming down upon him
or that the entire gearing operating
the elevator was about to descend

When the first floor was reached Mr..
Wagner made a dive for the door OF
