Cairo Lodge No. 65l Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks held al
extraordinary meeting last night
The occasion was of two-fold import
ance a greeting to District Deputy
John J. Faulkner of East st. Louis
who came to inspect the lodge and
hear reports concerning its affairs
and a farewell to fast Eralted Ruler
p. H. Smyth who will leave on July
l. for his new field of labor in Mont
gomery, Ala, where he will be dis
trict superintendent in the U. s.
weather service.
There was an unusually large at
tendance of members-two hundred
or more, and the occasion was one
of the most suspicious the order has
had In many months, FOR which much
credit is given by members to the
committee in charge Henry Gilhofer
chairman +. p. Aver and c. II.
Thompson. Formal notices sent out
by Exalted Ruler II. S. Antrim and
Secretary II. C. Steinel were supple
mented by notice from the committee
informing the members that there
would be something doing Friday
eve" and there was.
At the business meeting reports
reports were heard from the Board OF
Directors. Messrs. Wood, Magee and
Terrell, ana addresses were made by
Deputy Faulkner and by Past Exalted
Ruler Smyth. At the close of this
meeting the assemblage adjourned to.
the rooms below and went into So
cia session around the banquet
board, sitting down to fine spread
of baked fish, salads. meats. vege-
tables, cake of several varieties and
something TO drink and to smoke
which had been prepared and was
served by Scullin & Ricketts, of the
Opera House restaurant.
Exalted Ruler Antrim presided al
the board and called for talks, songs
and recitations, etc, and the rule
which seems to hold in Elkdom on
such occasions that every Elk per-
form when called up to do so. seemd |
to hold good last night. for every one
called upon was there with the |
goods" A talk by Deputy Faulkner
was very impressive. He spoke of
the good purposes of the order, its
charity, its patriotism good-fellow-
ship; and referred pathetcally to the
coming departure of Past Exalted
Ruler Smyth, whose good work in
the lodge here would, he felt sure, be
always gratefully remembered.
There were other talks by each of
the members of the Board of Direc-
tors, who seemed to be in special
favor because of their clase attention
TO the affairs of the order and their
never failing presence at meetings OF
the lodge. An earnest little talk by
Il. ]. Kerth paid high tribute to Mr..
Smyth as a business man and as a
of the Weber Dry Goods Co.

Hot Onions Cure For Pneumonia.

Hot onions, according to a French
physician, are said to be a sure cure
for pneumonia. The remedy is as fol-
lows: Take six or ten onions, accord
ing to size, and chop fine, put in a
large pan over a fire, then add the
same quantity Of rye meal and vinegar
enough to make n thick paste. In the
meantime stir it thoroughly, letting it
simmer for five or ten minutes. Then
put in a cotton bag large enough to
cover the lungs and apply to chest as
hot as the patient car 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.

A ANCHOR.
that side drops down Of its own weight
and drives it's point into the bottom.
AS the mushroom is an elongated ell
1ipse, it must always rest on one Of its
sides and thus keep the plane Of the
flukes at right angles to the surface
Of the bottom-i. e., one fluke or the
other must always engage the ground.
When the vessels weight pulls the
anchor forward the fluke Is driven
deeper into the bottom until it reaches
its maximum angle of So degrees with
the shank, during which time the en-
tire weight of the anchor, being con-
centrated at the mushroom end of the
shank, drives it deeper. The edges of
the mushroom are sharp, and the head
itself is of such shape as to maintain
the greatest possible hold on the bot
tom for each inch of penetration. Thus
in soft bottoms the mushroom sustains
an effective hold, which is augmented
by the deeper hold of the f1uke, while
in bottoms too hard for the mushroom
to penetrate the fuke sustains a strong
hold, which increases with the pull of
the vessel, owing to its carefully
studied shape and angle of penetration
1t has been proved, after exhaustive
tests, that this type of anchor will hold
more pounds Of strain per pound
weight of anchor than any simple type
Of anchor in any bottom.

which q be made permanent by q
proclamation by the president without
the necessity of anything in the way

would mean that he can appoint com.

agreements with foreign nations.

The elasticity and hardness Of rub
Der are now determined by an ap-
paratus akin to the schleroscope,
which shows the hardness of steel by
the rebound of a pointed steel ham,
mer. A sharp point is forced into the
rubber, and the force eXerted and the
depth Of penetration are automatically
recorded on graduated circles, a COM
bination of these indications giving the
degree Of hardness. The elasticity is
shown by the height Of rebound of a
steel ball when dropped upon the rub

paratus is simple and easily and rapid

1t has been demonstrated during re-

Already in Montana there has been

TAXPAYERS FOOT THE :BILLs.

people were paying some heed to a
very interesting situation in their
lawmaking bodies. When the gov.
eminent of the United States finds
that it's are not keeping pace
with its increasing expenses, the ma.
tional lawmakers Immediately set
busily about the task of finding new
sources of revenue, says the Duluth
Herald.
When the government of a state
finds itself in a similar situation, the
state lawmakers also CONSIDER earn
estly new methods of raising taxes.
The SAM thing happens in the county
government, the school district gov
ernment, the city government, and
even the town and villageIgovernment.
For some reason, nobody seems to
think for a moment about reducing
expenses, or of cutting the government
garment to fit the cloth at hand. It
Is always new ways of raising taxes
that the lawmakers and governing
bodies consider, and never, by any
chance, do any of them set themselves
the task of bringing about a more
economical administr alton of public
aft airs.
The trouble seems to be that the vice
of extravaganza. which is peculiarly
an American vice, has not only over
whelmed the people, but their govern.
ments as we'll; and this is the most
natural thing in the world in q gov.
ernment having the origin of it's pow.
ers in the people and owing its re.
sponsibilities to the people.
The man on q salary or wages usu-
ally has to go about it differently.
II he make Sl2 q week and finds that
his expenditures are running higher
than that, he must either beat his
creditors, steal or cut his expenses
down. The man who lives by his
wits, wherether he ia in stocks or pro.
motions, or in burglary, sets himself
to thinking up new waysI Of getting
money, just like the governments do.
1t Ia to the latter class that this coun.
try W its widespreadlextravagan
and that the extravaganza has spread
to the governments is not at all sur
prising.
But wouldn't it be more wholesome,
and fairer to all the people, If some
body would start q plan of looking to
economy for relief rather than to new
sources of revenue?
If a governments expenses have
risen a million dollars a year above
its receipts, it is easier to impose az
additional million q year in taxes
than it is to reduce expenses tha'
much; but it would be dealing NOR.
