So often indigestion accompanies Group
that the stomach is greatly relieved
when emptied of its contents The
remedy that most mothers keep in the
house for Group is the syrup of ipecac
A teaspoonful of it is given child from
two to five years old every half hour,
until it vomits freely.
The air of the room should be made
moist with steam, and the child often
gets relief from limitations of steam
A tent can be made of sheet over the
bed and the steam introduced under it,
so that it will act directly. Some add
teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda to
quart of water, or teaspoonful OF the
tincture of benzoin. Poultices are of
great benefit.
A correspondent has written telling
of the good results which she has OBJ
tanned from the use of onion poultices,
and she also administers the juice of
onions. The good which comes from
an onion poultice is the same which
comes from an ordinary hax-seed poul
tice, namely, the continued application
of heat.
Heat the Great Remedy
Sponges or towels doubled up and
wrung out of water as hot as can be
borne will give the same relief. The
thing is to keep up continued hot ap-
plications to the chest, and the admin
istration of hot drinks will help the
throat This can be accomplished as
well with hot milk as with the admin
istration of a hot onion syrup, and with
much less discomfort to the mother or
nurse.
Another correspondent writes that
she applies coal oil to the chest and
gives it internally, with excellent effect
The same result can be obtained with
camphorated oil and the administration
of hot drinks
In conclusion, | would say if the child
has much fever and has great difficulty
in breathing, and becomes purple, the
case is one of diphtheritic Group, and
demands urgent relief If the child has
not much fever it is probably false
Group, and that has scarcely been known
to have other than happy termination.
In the former case, keep the other
children away from the afflicted one,
employ all the measures of isolation
used in very contagious diseases, and
get the doctor to come as soon as pos
sible to administer antitoxin. And
again would say, if you have "croupy
child" do not await an attack, but find
out what makes it croupy and take the
means necessary to make it healthy
and well child.

advice as does IN. W." II. P" and
many others.
Removing superhuOus Hair
In times past l have given formulas
for the removal of superfiuouS hairs,
with directions how to use them; but
in the light of experience / do not now
think it wise to do so, as all depila-
tories act by a burning action on the
skin, and unless used with greatest care
they are liable to cause injury.
Electricity is the best means of re-
moving superhuous hairs if they are
scattered and are coarse, but if there
are many fine fuzzy hairs it is not
well to use it, as it promotes the growth
of these, and it is long, painful, tedious
process that one has TO go through be-
fore the face is cleared of its hairy
growth Therefore, electricity should
only be used in those cases in which,
except for the coarse hairs, there is
no tendency to hairy growth on the
face.
Dangers Of Electricity
If it is decided to employ electricity,
be sure that the one to whom you go
for it understands the business thor
oughly; if not, the result will not be
successful. A tiny needle must be in
PRODUCED into the root of each hair,
then the electricity is applied and the
root is destroyed. If the needle does
not enter the hair follicle exactly the
root will not be destroyed. If the cleo
tricity is applied too strongly or for
too long a time, the result will be a
scar.

has been permanently disfgured by the

Ia ~ rected to this disease the last
~ 81 decade than almost any other.
- - 1t is the disease which has
claimed the greatest number of lives in
civilized communities, and its stamping
out will be the result of well-directed
individual effort. Hitherto consumption
was considered an incurable disease, but
recent years have led to the understand
ing OF its causes, and shown the means
of preventing, and in many instances
of curing, it.
1t is caused by germ which Koch
discovered twenty-five years ago. The
tubercle bacillus exists in countless mil
lions in a person who has consumption.
If these can be prevented from reach
ing others the disease can be kept IN
check. These germs can only spread
when in a dry state. 1t is, therefore,
in dust that they are scattered abroad.
This gives the key to the prevention OF
the disease. When a consumptive coughs
he should keep a handkerchief before
his mouth, for it is then he expels enor-
nous numbers of the germs.
He should use paper napkins or
cheese-cloth squares, which can be
burned after using. If handkerchiefs
are used, they should be put into a
disinfecting fluid at once and not al
lowed to remain in a dried condition.
Rooms. occupied by consumptives should
be swept after sprinkling the floors or
carpets so that no dust can rise.
Curtains and furniture should be
-iped eff with damp cloths All ex-
decorations should be made in re-
ceptacles in which is some water or
disinfecting fluid. Small TASKS come for
the purpose, which can be carried con-
cealed in handkerchiefs, when a con-
sumptive goes from home, 1t is moth
ing short of criminal for a consumptive
to expectorate in the street.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT CONSUMPTION

growth of the tubercle bacillus. Those
who have inherited a weak constitu-
ton; those who are not strong, the
over-worked, the worried, the anxious,
the under-fed, offer less resistance to
the germs of the disease.
Diseased animals are a source of in
lection to the human beings. The laws
governing the inspection of cattle and
the supervision of milk from diseased
COWS cannot be enforced too strictly.
Household pets may have tuberculosis.
Cats and canaries are liable to it, and
such as are ailing and sickly should be
disposed of, no matter at what cost to
the affections.
Something About Treatment
A few years ago it was thought best,
as far as possible, to send patients to
sanatoriums, where they could have sys-
tematic cure. Great efforts were also
made to obtain a change of climate,
and the suffering invalids were sent
from home at great expense and hard
ship. At present, owing to the results
that have been obtained, it has been
found that home treatment in many
cases can be carried on successfully,
DIONiUCu II Is QOllC uilClil6NlbA1g oAAA
from the beginning.
A great deal is said about the OPEN
air treatment of patients. Life in the
open is one of the surest means OF ar
resting the disease and a great adjuvant
to recovery. It has been found that
those who spend night and day out
side of the house can weather storms
and dampness and great cold not only
without injurious effects, but with great
benefit, if sudden changes of tempera-
ture and exposure to wind are avoided.
Couches are carried out-of-doors for
those unable to sit up; steamer chairs
are also used for this purpose, The
head can be protected from wind and
too much sun by means of a half tent,
or a shelter of boards can be made.
A physician has invented a window

sash OF window. Keep out OF doors.

operation of father and mother
in training their children"
- ~ In fact, many boys dignity
or degradation is founded upon the hsr-
mony or discord of his parents train
ing.
I know a family wherein a kind and
loving father would have trained up
his son in the way he should go" but
every time the child was corrected for
wrong doing, his mother would pet
him, thereby giving him the impression
that his father was harsh, and encour-
aging him to have his own way. As the
child grew older he became more unruly
and independent and his mother contin-
ued to baby" him. She even interfered
in the presence of the boy-with the
father when he attempted to punish him
But the reckoning-day came. The poor
heart-broken mother saw her folly when
her boy, at the age of fifteen, was sent
to the Reform School.
Mothers, do not think you are cruel
or harsh" in teaching your boys to re-
spect their father and yourself. Above
all, let there be harmony in the home.
Training Our Daughters
We study the care of our sons and
daughters through babyhood and child
hood, but / wonder how many are
planning during the early days to guide
all the growing powers toward the goal
of perfect manhood and womanhood.
One daughter was thus unconsciously
and pleasantly taught the best selection
of dress materials, the most suitable ar
rangement of color schemes and the
wisest expenditure of money.
This aforesaid fortunate little lady's
mother began when Margaret was four
teen years old to take her daughter with
her when she a-shopping went. For two
years, through the various seasons, the
daughter listened and learned. An exact
account of money expended was kept by
the mother At the sixteenth year the
purse strings were the daughters, with
a mothers watchful word of wisdom
near; at eighteen we find a young
woman who knows what she wants, why
she wants it and how much she can af-
ford to spend.
Though the only child in a home of
ample means, this same young woman
was taught from kindergarten days to
make her birthday and Christmas gifts
for the immediate family. To an out
slider, in the beginning, they were fool
ish little gifts, but years have sped and
talents been added, while those near and
dear are never forgotten by the fingers
trained by practice and aided by love.

the hair comes in very thickiy. It is
a pity for a woman to begin the use of
a razor, however much she may be
tempted to do so. for, unlike the use
of the tweezers in pulling out the hair,
shaving stimulates to new and thicker
growth. The hairs become constantly
coarser. Find a depilatory and use
that instead.

THE CHILD WITH THE GROUP

Dangerous and General Complaint

into the throat, and provides an open
ing sufficiently large to admit the air
into the lungs. 1t is a great improve
ment upon the other method, as it does
not neCessitate cutting through and
opening the wind-pipe, thus making d
wound which must be dealt with after
the trouble is over.
None of the different kinds of Group
occur much earlier than six months, and
the croupy child outgrows it and gen
orally leaves it behind soon after he is
five years old
A child with a tendency to Group
needs especial care to get in a condi-
ton in which it will not easily yield to
attacks. Catching cold is the great
cause of Group. The child exposed to
draughts, which often occur without
the mothers thinking of it, as when the
child stands long at window in cold
weather, or creeps about the floor where
cold air comes in under the doors, may
have an attack of Group. A child with
a catarrh of the nose is likely to be
croupy, or if the throat is unhealthy, or
if the growths called "adenoids" are
present.
Preventative Measures
In short, when child has a tendency
to Group there is a reason for it which
should be sought and measures taken
TO strengthen the child in the weak
points, so as TO avoid such attacks.
Sponging the neck and throat with cold
water has been recommended and found
useful The ehild's digestion should be
watched. Especially should it avoid at
night indigestible food.
old-Fashioned Effective Methods
From what has been said in the de-
scription of the different forms of Group,
it will be seen that all measures of relief
should be directed toward clearing the
larynx of the accumulation of catarrhal
secretions The old-fashioned idea was
to make the child vomit, and | think
that it has value, in spite of what some
of the modern writers say. If the mem
brane has formed quickly and the child
is blue from lack of air, one should not
stop TO make the child vomit by means
of medicine, but tickle the throat with
a feather or spoon, or introduce the
finger.

NE Child VINO mas tne Group IS
a source of the greatest ankle
ty to the mother. She cannot
rest easily at night, for she feels
at any moment in the hours of darkness
the hoarse, barking cough and the la
bored breathing of the little one will
sound the alarm, and that she must bat
tie with the dread disease.
Group is inflammation Of the larynx.
There are several forms of the disease,
which are hard even for the doctor to
distinguish between in the beginning,
and the most frequent form is called
false Group They are all characterized
by catarrh of the larynx, the membrane
of which secretes a discharge Indeed,
the trouble is generally a continuation
of the cold from the nose to the throat.
The inflammation irritates the vocal
chords and gives rise TO the hoarse,
spasmodic cries which are characteristic
of the disease, and the irritation which
keeps up the continuous and distressing
coughing. This trouble affects the up
per part of the laTynx, and is rarely, if
ever, fatal, There may be slight fever
with it.
Fatal Group
The true fatal form of Group is really
diphtheria of the larynx. The symp-
toms from the beginning are severe.
The mucous membrane of that part of
the throat is swollen and inhamed, and
a membrane is formed, and the child
will literally be choked to death if the
air passage is not opened The throat
is so small and narrow that it quickly
becomes blocked
Before the days of antitoxin, deaths
from true Group were very frequent, but
the ravages of diphtheria have been
wonderfully lessened by the use of the
serum. In the Olden times tracheotomy
was practiced, by which is meant that
slit was made in the throat and a tube
introduced below the place where the
throat was stopped up, through which
air could enter the lungs Tracheotomy
was seldom performed early enough to
be of avail.

In flowers we have quite a variety,
but roses, violets and other small BIOS
SONS are favored. Recently roses made
of ribbon or silk grenadine have been
adopted, and have given US some of the
most beautiful effects, combined with
great durability and good style.
AS effective trimming as possible IS
achieved when the mourning hat is
adorned with made wings, flowers or
bows fashioned of the materials used in
the hat Ornaments are sparingly used,
and are almost invariably of dull finished
jet or enamel, or are crepe-covered.
Bearing these facts in mind, we need
only abide by one simple rule-nourn-
ing millinery should be simply trimmed,
although the workmanship may be elab-
crate and the materials rich in quality.
Correct mourning millinery is compact.
and always put together with the great
est care and neatness.
Choice of Materials
In materials choose only the water
PROCEED varieties. The test is easily
made by immersing a small piece of the
goods in a glass of water. Moisture
must not remove the crimp from crepe
or the finish from grenadine, or cause
the dye to run.
1t is we'll to know the rules govern
ing the length of time one must wear

bridge is located at an inconvenient
place. 1t was put in its present To-
cation to enable the convenient han
ding of the two pipe lines Of the
canal company, and teams are forced
to go a considerable distance out Of
their way from the main Travelled
road to get to it.
ITO buy this bridge now would
be like man buying a dog collar
without having a dog. The COVER
nor says it's a part of a state road
improvement and so they go ahead
and purchase a bridge without having
any state road. Instead Of develop
ing the country as the governor says,
the purchase of the bridge by the
state will prevent such development.
There will be no money with which
to build bridges over the Columbia
river at other points than at Wenat-
chez where they are badly needed.
There should be bridges over the
Columbia at points both below and
above Wenatchee for the convenience
and benefit of the people and for the
development of the country.

ated for western Washington needs
that he did not even take the trou-

he expects the state to earn much

was so busy during the legislature
that he had to send kilograms to We

people there to rush signatures to
the legislature asking the passage Of
the bridge bill?
IF the governor will answer some
of these questions I will find some
more to put to him, and inside of ten

Z" In addition there is about $4,-
600 invested in iron and wood work
which supports the pipes of the canal
company. in whose interest the deal
for the purchase of the bridge is be-
ing engineered. The bridge company
is asking the taxpayers to pay for
this $4,000 worth of material and
work in the bridge which is merely
a part of the pipe line.
1.-The water users in Douglas coun-
ty whose lands are irrigated by the
waters coming through the canal
company's pipe lines on the bridge
are taxpayers, they pay interest on
a purchase price of their land in
which was figured the cost of the
bridge and maintenance. and they
must pay again in taxes to the state
for the purchase of the bridge If such
a thing is consummated, all of which
comes near to being double taxation,
does 1t not?
There are serious defects in the
construction of the bridge. The iron
work supporting the structure is sub
ject to rust from water which leaks
from the pipes. thereby shortening
the life of the iron. which at most
is estimated at twenty years. BY the
time the state gets through paying
