TO RELIEVE THE HlccoUGHs
Sucking Ice or Taking salt and Vine
gar Often VIII Cure Simple
Cases.

Simple cases of hiccough are often
relieved by such measures as sucking
ice or taking salt and vinegar. Pull
ing the tongue forward and hold
ing It for some time is an effective
procedure.
Sometimes obstinate hiccough is re-
lieved when the patient is strong by
having him hang with the arms ex-
tended and grasping some beam or
pole. so that his feet do not touch the
floor. With all the abdominal muscles
tense. have him hold his breath as
long as possible.
The spelling "h!ccough" is recent,
being a combination of the syfiables
"hic" and the latter term Of cough, !"
which Is without either physiological
or chronological basis; the pronuncia.
ton, with perhaps the rarest excep-
ton, is still that of the older form
"niccup," earlier given variouslyIas
"hickup.' "hickupsnickup," "hickop,"
HITCHCOCK hitchcock and "hickett,"
with quasi diminishing suffixes ack,
ETC.; but the "hick,' syllable aptly
expressive of the spasmodic sound pro-
ddced by the conditions giving rise to
the particular disturbance, is found in
all references to the origin of the term
which the writer has been able to OBJ
tain. The term singultus Is rarely
used.-New York Medical Journal.

Lifting Fire Hos. 81 EI.va,or..

THE PARCELS POST

BY reason OF the fact that this country
has reciprocal parcels post treaties with
thlrty-two countries in Asia, Europe,
Africa, Australia, South America or Can.
ada, any one in the United States can
mail package OF merchandise to friend
in these countries at the cost OF II cents &
pound, and as much as eleven pounds
may be sent in one package. But if you
want to mail . package to any one in this
country, even 70 your next door neighbor,
it will cost you at the rate of 16 cents per
pound, and any package weighing more
than four pounds will not be accepted at
the post Office. Don't you think this is o
little strange, and if you doubt it just in
quire at the post Office and see if it isn't
true.
= The countries mentioned have the par
GELS post in operation and enjoy cheap
rate, but in this country we have express
companies that pay big salaries to their
high officers and snug dividends on water
ed stock, and no parcels post. In fact it
has been said there are just three good
reasons why this country has not long ago
established low rate parcels post, and
these reasons are: The Adams Express
Company, and the Wells Fargo Express
Company. It is these companies, by
virtue of lobby at Washington and rep
resentatives in Congress whom they
control, that have effectualIy blocked
every attempt to pass measure looking
to the adoption of parcels post in our
country, but the people are finally coming
to a realization of the true facts and these
powerful corporations cannot much longer
keep in check the liberal and progressive
legislation along this line that is being
fought for so persistently.

ture the previous year. The ground was

planted on May s. At this time 200
pounds of fertilizer was applied contain
ing 4 per cent ammonia, 8 per cent-phos-
phoric acid and 10 per cent potash. Later
900 pounds of fertilizer was applied con-
tanning 81 per cent phosphoric acid, and
per cent potash, and also 900 pounds of
pigeon manure. The rows were three
feet nine inches apart and the hills twenty
eight inches apart in the row and two
stalks 10 the hill. The yield was ia
bushels at the time of husking, counting
70 pounds to the bushel, but the shrink.
age of 20 per cent brought the yield down
to 80 bushels Of dry, shelled corn.
