Yellow Fever;
A Remedy?

Editor Star: The old remedy for
rabies was to cauterize the wound.
If done promptly, the germs were de-
stroyed
why not do something of this kind
when a person has been bitten by a
stegomyia?
When you are bitten by a centipede
or stung by a scorpion or by a honey
bee or yellow jacket, any solution of
alkali will relieve the pain and stop
the swelling. The reason for this is
that the poison of the centipede,
honey bee etc, is an acid, and the
alkali balances or neutralizes the acid.
The same remedy relieves the irrita-
ton and swelling that follows the
bite of a mosquito. Wet a piece of
soap or a bit of baking soda and rub
it over the part bitten. Almost i'm
mediately the irritation ceases and
the part does not swell, These eX-
periments show that the solution of
soap or of sodium bicarbonate enters
the flesh through the opening made by
/ the mosquito and reaches the acid
/ injected into the wound.
/ If a drug is known that will kill the
germs of yellow fever, it could be
applied, in solution, in the same man
ner, and reach the germs introduced
by the stegomyia. Even if it killed
the flesh Immediately about the
wound. that would be preferable tC

MAINE CITIES FIND WAY OUT.

Many Maine municipalities have de-
cided that the best way out of the diff
ficultv in assessment of taxes caused
by the failure of the Legislature to
pass an emergency clause with the
1911 tax act, is to obtain the amount
of the State tax from the State as
SCISSORS and to make up the lists as
usual but not to commit them until
they have received their State war
rant. This will do away with posi-
BILE delay. Many of the cities and
towns have been accustomed to make
their collections earlier than July.

OLD HENS CHICKS ARE BEST
Several Tests Prove That Offspring
Of Mature Stock More Thrifty
and Vigorous.


Don't sell all your old hens. II you
intend usihg eggs ffom your flock for
Matching, you shouti keep a few old
hens to furnish them. The resulting
chicks will be stronger and heartier
than If incubated from eggs laid by
your spring pullets. The offspring OF
the'more mature stock will also prove
more thrifty and vigorous.
These facts were determined by
several tests made at Morgantown
w. Va Eggs from hens one, two and
three years old were used. In every
test the eggs from the older hens
Matched out more. heavier and strong
er chicks than did the eggs from the
pullets, And the chicks did not lose
this advantage In weight, for they
were materially heavier at the end Of
forty days when the tests ended
II was also determined that It is
a matter OF prime importance to have
the hens not only mature but unex
hausted by previous heavy laying,
during the breeding season. Then the
very best results will be obtained in
respect to number, size and vigor OF
the chickens. -
