Eye Salve-A very good salve fol-
granulated eyelids is made as follows:
Yellow oxide Of mercury, one grain;
rose salve or %unsalted butter, one-half
ounce. Apply to the eyelids night and
morning.
Insomnia.-If a person cannot fall
asleep, try a sponge bath made thus:
Into eight ounces Of alcohol put two
of ammonia and two Of camphor.
Shake thoroughly, and when well
mixed add four ounces of sea salt and
enough hot water to fill a quart bot
tie. To apply it pour a little Of the
liquid in a shallow dish and moisten
the whole body a little at a time by
dipping a small sponge in 1t. Rub it
only a very little, then finish with a
vigorous rubbing with a coarse crash
towel.
Pellagra.-This new disease prom
ises more surprises in the medical
world and more reasons for investiga.
ton than anything that has broken
loose in a half century. The asylums
have long been filled with patients suf.
fering from this disease and supposed.
ly insane. In some cases the disease
has been caused by cheap food. Pei.
lagra has probably existed in the
United States for many years, although
the fact has not been definitely estab-
lished. Our physicians as yet know
little of 1t, but they are finding it in
plenty in many of the states. It ia
supposed to arise from eating moldy
corn, which affects the brain.

RIVAL OF
L~unenburg, Nova scotia, Is Some
Pumpkins in the Hunt for God.

LuuenburE. Nova scotia, Is Some
Pumpkins in the Hunt for Cod.
The fishermen of Gloucester have
long monopolized fiction and poetry az
being the real catchers of cod and the
most picturesque of those who make
their living on the Grand banks, the
New York Sun says. Rudyard Kipling
let his character in Captains Courag
eous" speak dlsrespectfully OF the
Frenchmen and b!uenoses who com
peted in the race for fish, and other
so-called sea writers have zone the
anne
If you ask a bluenosc, that is a res.
ident of Nova Scotia, who are the real
bankers, he Will tell you the men Of
Lunenburg.' Lunenburg IS the rival
of Gloucester In the hunt for cod, and
a pretty husky rival, too, for fisher
men from that seaport on the south
shore of Nova Scotia are the backbone
Of that industry that is valued we'll
oveT $1,000 900 a year.
The Lunenburg fishermen spend
about half the year at home, but they
do not use this time sitting around
the docks spinning yarns. They are
busy with lobster catching or in the
woods. When March comes around
they begin to make ready for the sea.
The schoOners are put in order and
stocked with provisions. On the Sun
day nearest March u the churches
hold special services and prayers go
up for safe and prosperous voyages.
They are devout, these bluenose fish
ermen, but they keep an eye on the
profits, too.
The fishing schooners are small,
rarely reaching 100 tons. The law re-
quires vessels exceeding that size to
carry a certified master, and the LII
nenburg man can't see the use of pass
ing examinations in navigation. With
a compass and a dipsey lead the mas
ter of a banker can find his way in
any weather.
The start from Lunenburg is like
the start of a yacht race. Most Of the
bankers go out on the same day and
there is ~good-natured rivalry among
the shippers as to who shall first an
Choir on the fishing grounds.
When a skipper makes berth in a
likely place real work begins. The
dories, flat-bottomed boats fifteen feet
long, which are very seaWorthy but
don't look it, are put overheard and
the travis are set.
These travis are something stable
in the way Of fishing lines. The main
line is from one to one and a half
miles long, with a fringe of smaller
lines which carry the hooks. The
travis are anchored at each end and
are set like the spokes of a wheel
whose hub is the schooner. The do
ries move up and down the travis,
taking off the fish and rebaiting the
hooks. 1t sounds easy, but in a heavy
sea it Is ticklish business.
When a schooner has loaded full
with fish, cut and sailed down, she
steals away from the shrieking medley
of foghorns and makes for ~Lunenburg.
1t is a lucky ship which enters port
without her colors at half mast, which
would indicate that one of her crew
has gone. The fleet gets back from
the spring trip about the end of May,
unloads and sails back again on the
summer trip, which lasts until the
autumn.

PRESIDENT ELIOT ADVOCATES
PUBLICITY BffORf STRIkf5


The Canadian government, by legislation. has obviated
to a great extent strikes that would interfere with pubic
utilities. including mines, is described in McClure's Maya
zine by Charles w. Eliot, president emeritus OF Harvard
The act for the maintenance Of Industrial
peace In Canada went into effect March %, 1907. BY
the operation Of the act % per cent Of strikes were
avoided or ended. These pertained to disputes concern
ing mines, railroads, street railways, longshoremen, team
sters and sailors.
Fifty-fve applications have arisen under the act ana
have resulted in the creation OF forty-nine boards. DR..

cases in which boards were not created we're settled promptly through

Some OF thee disputes involved large numbers of workmen notably

1000 to 5000 men were directly affected. That Canadian workfngmen
acquired confidence in III operation of the act d.. Eliot concludes from the
fact that they have been the applicants for the creation Of boards in forty
six cases.
Not the least beneficial result Of the act, Dr. Eliot considers, is that
although perfect liberty to strike or lock ut ultimately is reserved under
the Canadian act, several weeks must elapse from the time the dispute be-
gan before work "a be stopped" Thus, there is time for passion to cool
and for the costs Of al to be counted by both parties. The interests Of

MONKEY HUNT IN PROsSER.
Animal Caught in Sagebrush After
Search of Three Miles.

PROSSER. Wash, July 22.-Benton
county had the novelty of a monkey
hunt, made with a special train over
the Northern Pacific railroad as a re-
suit of the visit Of the Gentry Broth
ers' circus Tuesday.
While enroute from Kennewick to
Prosser one of the monkeys escaped
from cage and started off through
the sagebrush desert. He was missed
as soon as the unloading was started,
and Immediately an offer of $50 re-
ward was offered. 40 one discovered
the animal, however and in the after
noon arrangements were made to take
a special train to hunt for the animal,
which was valued at $3.50.
The Northern Pacific officials fur
nished an engine and caboose, and
under the direction of w. w. Gentry
went down the track. They passed the
and then returned with beat
ers hunting through the brush. After
beating for three miles the animal was
found, surrounded and caught and re-
turned to the show.

GOVERNMENT TAKES DEFENSIVE
In Sutton Inquiry-Mrs. Sutton Il
Made Direct Accuser, Taking
Blame from Navy.

ANNAPOLIS. July 27.-The govern
ment put itself on the defensive and
made Mrs. James N. Sutton complain
ant and direct accuser Of several ma
rine officers in connection with the
death of her son, Lieutenant Sutton,
at today's hearing. The governments
sudden change came at the suggestion
of Judge Advocate Major Leonard,
when Mrs. Sutton was recalled as a
witness and asked her to identify a
letter written to the secretary of the
navy last February during a reopening
of the case, in which she stated she
believed new evidence would be intro
duced to show that Sutton was killed
by his brother officers. Leonard asked
that Mrs. Sutton be made to stand as
complainant against Lieutenant
Adams, Bevan, Willing and Osterman
and Sergeant DeHart, and in this
court ordered over the protest of Mrs.
Sutton's counsel, who insisted that
Mrs. Sutton's sole object was to clear
her sons name of the stigma of sui
eide. The court notified the officers
named that they had been made
parties defendant and therefore had
the right to be present and cross
examine witnesses.
