For this pur- pose the turpentine should be ozonized by leaving a bottle of it for some time uucorked. The bottle should be wide mouthed.
 In phosphorus poisoning, turpentine is very useful The French acid oil is preferable, as it is old and is large ly ozonized. In salvation turpentine is a good remedy.

HOME HEALTH CLUB

TURPENTINE AS A REMEDY One would hardly believe that as sim pie thing as good, old-fashioned tur- pentine had so many high sounding characteristics. It is a stimulant, a diuretic, an authelmintic, homostat- ic, given internally, and applied local ly it is a rubefacient and an antisep- tic. Besides all that it is a volatile oil.
 Well, that is to say that as a diu- retic it will increase the flow of urine; as an antheimintic it is death on worms; as a hemostatic it will check bleeding; as a rubefacient, it will red den your skin, and as antiseptic it will prevent or destroy putrefaction. It is a volatile oil because it rapidly evaporates. What is more to the point, however, out of all these things it is a fine remedy for many of the ills that flesh is heir to.
 Turpentine lamentations relieve all most any pain due to inflammation. Used as a rubefacient, that is to say rubbed on locally, it is very effica- cious in rheumatism, lumbago, sciati- ca, neuralgia, bronchitis, pleurisy, pe- rotinitis and tympanites, this latter means drumlike swellings. Thus it is decidedly helpful in typhoid fever where there is a tympanitic abdomen. Tn five or ten drop doses it is eff cient when in tympanitic abdomen there is a hem orrhage or not, but when there is a dry brown-fissured tongue.

INDEPENDENT
 OPERATOR TALKS
Special from United Press.)


 Wilkesbarre, March 19.-John c. Paddock, head of the Plymouth Coal Company, an independent operator, issued statement, today, regarding the present wage controversy which indicates that all is not peace and harmony between the coal carrying roads and the independents. The statement is as follows:
 'The negotiations that have been conducted between the representative of the mine workers and the opera tors reveal the fact that there is an Independent element among the oper atOrs who believe that there should be an adjustment of the wage scale. readjustment of transportation charges and the prices that are paid for coal by purchasing companies who have contract relations with the independents.
 ''The. operators committee, domi- mated and controlled by anthracite carrying companies in their statement declares:' That the marked increase in cost of producing coal in recent years, due to the higher cost of labor and materials, the eXhausting of the thicker veins, the working of thinner veins and other conditions which in- crease in cost and have only partially been offset by the increased prOduc- tion, has reduced the margin of profit to point beyond which further re- duction is impossible.'
 "The independents claim that the carrying companies have made pheno- menal profits on transportation of anthracite and it is their belief and conviction that the present adjust ment would permit reasonable con- cession to the mine workers and en- able the independent operators to conduct their operations at a reason able profit.
 -'In any event, they insist that the situation needs intelligent considera- tion and discussion and should not be jeopardiZed by nasty and predeter- mined decisions"

CLUB NOTES.


 Dear Doctor: Please tell me of remedy for enlarg- ed liver. My side hurts most of the time. What is best to eat, Have been troubled with gall stones a little. Have lost over 30 pounds in the last few months.
 M. E.B For two weeks do as follows: Every night before retiring take two table spoonfuls of pure olive oil, and upon arising in the morning take one tea spoonful of cream of tartar in half glass of water. If there are any gall stones this will clean them out, and will also relieve your liver of great amount of work and aid in re- storing it to normal condition. You should then very carefully select your diet; use very little of concentrated foods, but plenty of juicy fruits and vegetables, drink from one to three quarts of water daily.
