POPE Plus SUFFERS
A SERIOUS RELAPSE
PONTIFF SERIOUSLY ILL AND
oRDCEED TO REMAIN IN BED
BY DOCTORS.

| Rome April 8.--Pope Plus suffered q
severe relapse in the course of last
night. He was very feverish, his
temperature rising to 100 degrees.
DR.. Marchiafava was with him for
an hour. After thorough investiga-
ton the physician insisted that the
and forbade him even to receive the
usual daily report on vatican affairs.
Although the popes temperature had
diminished somewhat during the fore
noon, his holiness remained in the bed,
the doctors in attendance insisting
that he must not rise today.
The only persons beside the physi-
clans who were permitted to.see the
pope were Cardinal Merry del Val, the
papal secretary of state, and the sis
tiers and a niece of the pontiff.
No official bulletin has been issued
today concerning his condition but
report is in circulation that the relapse
he suffered last night was due to an
affection Of the kidneys.
In connection with the relapse suf-
fered by the pope it is reported here
that in consequence of the two lengthy
receptions of pilgrims given by him
yesterday, he was overcome by ex-
IRENE fatigue. The two receptions
obliged the pontiff to remain for sew
eral hours without moving. ...
In'the course of the evening he suf-
fered slight fainting spell and DR.. And
rea Amici who was in attendance had
him put to bed and injected strength
ening remedy. After few minutes
the pope recovered consciousness and
spoke to those around him.
BY the doctors instructions the pope
will remain in bed suspending all his
habitual occupations until further or
1ers.
An official statement on the pope's
condition published in the Osservatore
Romano this evening says:
Since yesterday evening the holy
father has been indisposed with re-
apse of influenza. His condition Is
causing no anxiety but he requires
much rest" |

Comptroller Tracewell said the gen

broadly, referring to anything used by
two or more departments and that
the attorney generals opinion deprived
the act of Its very life and SOUL"
'T am unable to agree with the at
torney general in his( narrow and non

he added.
Secretary McAdoo stepped into the
breach and Attorney General Mercy

our eyes, our hands are our most use
full members, and as such should re-
ceive great care. We who have so
much rough work to do can still keep
them presentable if we try. A four
ounce bottle of rose water and gly-
cerin, a small curved scissors, and
nail file, are sufficient, and will cost
about seventy-five cents. Then one
needs small box of mutton tallow,

pear when one works in the garden in
spring.
Laundry soap used for washing the
hands at the sink during the day is
responsible for more rough, chapped
hands than anything else. 1t is coarse
made from the cheapest materials,
and contains resin and potash in such
large quantities that they destroy the
natural oil of the skin. Nothing but
pure soap should ever be used in the
dish water or toilet, what kind to
use depends on the individual taste
A little of the rose water and glycerin
will prevent chapping on cold days.
1.-THE nails should never be cut when
dry and brittle. After the wash is
done on wash day they will be in
just the right condition to trim, cut
ting closely at the corners, and round
ing at the tip. Coal ashes art especi
ally hard on the hands but cotton
flannel gloves, If worn when taking
out and sitting the ashes are all that
is necessary to protect them. If a
paper bag is put over them wher
backing the stove, they will not re
quire frequent washing. It is dis
tressing to observe the poor, faithful
toil-worn hands of country women

A DOLLAR BILL.

A farmer out in Kansas,
About five years ago,
Went into town one day to spend
Some of his hard-earned dough-"
And in a merry jest" and just
To show his printing skill,
He printed his initials on
A brand new dollar bill.
He spent that dollar that same day
Down in the village store,
He thought twas gone forever then,
And he'd see 1t no more.
But long before that year rolled by
One day he went to fill
A neighbours order and received
That same one dollar bill.
Once more he spent that dollar bill
In his own neighborhood,
Where it would do himself and friends
The most amount Of good.
Four times in two years it came back,
AS some bad pennies will,
And each time he'd go out and spend
This marked one dollar bill.
Had he been wise that dollar might
Be in his town today,
But just two years ago
He sent 1t far away.
The people who received 1t then
know have got it still,
For twas to mail order house
He sent his dollar bill.
No more will that marked dollar come
Into the farmers hands,
And never more will it help to pay
The taxes on his lands
He put 1t where 1t never can
Its work of life fulfill.
He brought about the living death
OF that one dollar bill.
