HOW AN ONION CURES A COLD.
Oil Contained in Useful Vegetable
Destroys Certain Bacteria.

Most persons know that eating
raw onion drives out cold,' but
why the onion should possess this
beneficent power not one in hum
dred persons who were cured would
be able to say.
The oil contained in the onion,
chives radish and horseradish is an
oil that belongs in the category of
spices, and this oil has deadly ef-
feet upon certain pathogenic, that is
to say, harmful bacteria flourishing
in various organs of the human body.
The intestinal flora against which DR..
Metchnikoff wages his incessant cam
paign are the best known of the path
ogenic bacteria and are among the
most dangerous. But the microbe,
which causes colds, is quite annoy
ing According to DR.. Haig, the
great uric acid specialist, all colds
are due to a combination of three
things-a chill, a microbe of a uric
acid tendency which prepares cell
for the. microbes growth. In addi-
tion to being a source of great dis
comfort a cold is dangerous as we'll,
because the person suffering with it
is always in jeopardy of pneumonia.
The pneumonia germ, the diplococ-
Gus pneumonia, is present in mod
crate numbers in the mouth of per-
fectly healthy persons, but the mu-
cous membrane forms sort of pro-
tective wall against it to bar it from
entering the system. During cold
the extremely delicate membrane lin
ing of the nose, mouth and throat
is intensely irritated and it's pro-
tective efficiency is greatly weaken
ed, affording the pneumonia germ a
better foothold than when the mem
brane is in normal condition.
Among the germs to which the
oil of the onion is deadly foe is the
cold microbe,and by attacking it one
of the causes producing colds is OBJ
waited Thus the cold microbe, one
of the necessary three factors that
caused the cold, an onion, eaten raw,
will "drive out the cold"
" ~ Properly speaking, the onion is
vegetable, but because of its strong
favor we have come to regard it al
most exclusively as a spice. There
are other> spices which have just as
good. effect upon the human sys-
tenn SAccording to DR.. Alfred Gigon,
of Baesi, spices are a much abused
constituent of the diet. He Classics
spices into five divisions. Into the
first class fall salt and the so-called
aromatic spices-ginger, cinnamon,
cloves, pepper, etc. These spices, by
stimulating the flow of 9, liva and of
the gastric juices, further digestion.

A SAFETY ENVELOPE.
New Invention Gives Greater Securi-
ty Against Tampering.

A South African inventor has now
patented an envelope giving greater
security against tampering than the
ordinary envelope, says Chamber S
Journal. This novely is of the con-
ventional shape and size, the only
difference being that on the external
surface of the flap, over the gum
line, suitable word, such as In
TACT" or even the address of the
sender, is printed in some readily
soluble ink. When a person endeav-
ors to ascertain the contents by re-
leasing the gum Of the flap either
with steam or moisture this ink i'm
mediately runs thereby conveying in
timation to the addressee that the
latter has been tampered with. The
idea is very simple, and certainly
achieves it's purpose remarkably well.
But there is one slight drawback,
since letters delivered on wet day
are liable to be soiled with rain or
dropped on damp ground, and as
moisture causes the ink to run, un-
due suspicion might be created when
there is no cause for it.
One of the most effective methods
of sending important correspondence
and paper money through the post
which the writer has ever seen is
that adopted on the American rail-
ways. The money received for tick
cts and so forth at station is dis
patched daily to the head Office. The
dollar bills are slipped in fat con-
dition into an envelope of sufficient
size to receive them. The envelope
flap is then sealed down with the
gum, and the sender pierces hole
in the center of the package, through
which he passes a piece of string,
carries it round the lowed end of the
envelope only, ties the string and
seals the knot with wax. At the head
office the letter is opened at the flap
end, but without breaking the seal.
This exposes one end of the batch OF
bills, which are then counted, and if
the total comedies with the advice
note the seal is broken and the bills
withdrawn; but if there is a discrep-
ancy between the total of the bills
and the advice note, the official, with
out breaking the seals, returns the
racket to the sender with remarks
concerning the difference in the to-
tails.
The sender is able to see at a
glance that he has made mistake,
because the seal is intact, and a note
could not have been withdrawn from
the envelope without tearing it from
the center to one end. The system
admits of no dispute whatever. A
similar system is also used by GER
tain firm in connection with its i'm
portanI correspondence between va
rious branches, only in this case a
needle and thread are passed through
the center of the sealed envelope and
it's contents, and the thread likewise
passed round one end, tied and seal
ed. In this way the letter is certain
to reach the addressee without being
tampered with en- route, as the letter
must be torn in any attempt to ex-
tract it.

When to Eat Poultry.

Poultry should never be eaten the
day it is killed. The tenderest fresh
killed chicken will be tough as soon
as the animal heat has left the body.
In about twelve hours, however, the
muscles will relax, and then it be-
comes acceptable for food.-Home

WOULD PROTECT WEARERS.
Forbid Discrimination Against Army
and Navy Uniforms.

The war department has given its
approval to the first draft Of law,
designed to uphold the dignity and
honor of military uniform OF the
United States in all of the states and
territories and in the insular posses
sions. The measures forbid discrimi-
nation in any public against any Off
Ger or enlisted man wearing the uni
form of the army, navy or marine
corps and likewise prohibits any per-
son not duly authorized, from wear
ing the uniform or any part of it.
Offenders could be prosecuted in any
United States court.
This measIre, which will be sub
mitted to the next congress with the
approval of Secretary Garrison, is
the outgroWth of a movement started
more than three years ago by Mrs.
Russell NJ MacLennan, of Washing
ton. Aroused when three enlisted
men of the marine corps were ex-
PEELED from a local theater, Mrs. Mac
Lehman voiced her protest and was
at first instrumental in obtaining the
passage by congress of a measure
protecting the uniform and it's wear
ers in the District of Columbia.
Realizing that the work of putting
law through each of the state legis-
latures would be slow and arduous,
Mrs. MacLennan besought President
Wilson and Secretaries Garrison and
Daniels, to aid in the enactment of a
federal statute.

PLEASE DO NOT KISS ME-"
Four-Year-OId Girl on 7,OOO-Mile
Trip Comes Labelled.

The child who attracted the most
attention on board the Kronprinzes-

Please do not kiss me.
It seems that Margaretha's father
died in a town not far from Vienna,
and her mother married again. The
mother emigrated with her new hus-
band to Kenwood, Sonora county,
CAL, leaving the child behind in the
care of relative.
When she was ready to receive
curly-haired little Margaretha, the
mother sent passage money to the old
country, and directed that her daugh-
ter be shipped. When she reaches
California the child will have travel
led about seven thousand miles.
The steamship doctor was thought
full enough to protect the child from

through kisses.
