camphor to Break Up a Cold.

One of the most efficient remedies
for breaking up a cold during its
earliest stage is camphor. When the
eyes begin to water and there is the
accompanying tingling of the nose and
feeling of chilliness, place three drops
of camphor on lump of loaf sugar
and place the sugar in the mouth.
Repeat this every 15 minutes till
four or five doses have been taken.

It is estimated that the fertile lands
of the globe amount to 28.000 900
square miles, the steppes to 10000 900
and the deserts to 100000. Fixing
POI persons to the square mile for fer

the earth could possibly nourish,
scientists have arrived at the conclu-
sion that when the number of inhab-

The auditor was directed to adver-

each from the Fifth and Sixth.
Alderman Marquett introduced a re-
solution to the effect that all the city
lots would be sold subject to an ag
reement that in case any adverse
claim was established against the
city's title within one year from dat
of sale the city would refund the pur.
chase price. Messrs Reade and Pat
terson opposed the idea saying the
city might as well give a warranty

Alderman Slattery was warm in his
enthusiasm for the proposition. He
said he couldn't understand why the

for 80 years and now he wanted fo-see

who opposed the bond idea; that pres
