SINGLE SCULL RACES.
Nothing Yet Done by United States
Regarding Those Olympic Events,

NEW YORK. May Allow about the
single scullers in the rowing events in
the Olympic program? That's the ques-
ton WHICH is causing number of oars
men to do a lot of thinking Is the United
States to be unrepresented by her best
individual oarsmen, when two different
fours are to be sent to Stockholm by the
United States? 1t would indeed. be I'M
fortunate If the single races were allowed
to go to foreign entrants if this country
has men available who could win them
for Uncle Sam. Yet nothing has been
said by the authorities about including
single scullers in the Olympic selection.

MAY DROP SUGAR SUIT.
Government Reaches Tentative Con-
clusion to Discontinue Prosecution.

The government probably will not re-
try the criminal antitrust suit brought
against directors or former directors Of
the American Sugar Refining Company,
the recent trial of whom at New York
resulted in disagreement of the jury.
The question has not yet been finally
determined. but officials of the Depart
ment Of Justice are inclined at this time
to abandon the case The subject OF
further trial was considered recently at
conferences between Attorney General
Wickersham and District Attorney Wise
of New York.
The jury which disagreed, 1t is said,
seemed to give particular attention to the
statute of limitations in connection with
the case. 1t is this fact which has in
fiuenced officials in reaching a tentative
conclusion that the case should be
dropped.

ray, the campaign secretary.
Young Steiner's record is $3.50 flies kill

Insects Not Numerous.
The first generation of the fly tribe.
which annually appears in Washington
about April IS, is greatly reduced in num-
bers this year. This fact is attributed
by health officials to the severe winter
and the inroads made on the insect
horde by The Stars campaign Of a year
ago.

any in years, health officials anticipate
that the war this year will bring about
"A corresponding reduction I'm the succeed

Cure for Pneumonia.

Hot onions, according to a French
physician, are said to be a sure cure
for pneumonia. The remedy is as
follows: Take six or ten onions, accor-
ding to size, and chop fine; put in a
large pan over a fire. Then add the
same quantity of rye meal and vine
gar enough to make a thick paste.
In the meantime stir Thoroughly, letting
it simmer for five or ten minutes.
Then put in a cotton bag large enough
to cover the lungs and apply to the
chest as hot as patient can bear.
In about ten minutes apply another,
and thus continue by re-heating the
poultices; in a few minutes the patient
will be out of danger. This simple
remedy has never failed to cure this
too often fatal malady. And it is
quite as effective as that of the old
Summit county doctor, who was in
the habit of always slapping onto
the patients chest a handful of cro-
ton oil and rubbing it in briskly. In
thirty minutes the patient was out of
danger, and the old doc never lost
a case.-Denver Field and Farm.
