LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A Course of Vinegar.

MT. Editor; The following may be of interest to some of your readers: Smallpox is partly due to the lack of cleanliness, personal habits and lax ity in enforcing sanitary measures Boards of health, as general thing, are not assisting very much in the progress of the world. The trouble with them is, they are politicians, first and last. They are politicians before they become members of the board of health, and continue to be afterwards. Light weight, generally, as physicians. Dr. c. F. Howe of Atchison, Kan, in the Columbus Medica,, Journal says: Vinegar for the treatment of small pox has passed the point of mere the ory and now is an established fact. It proved efficient with him in several hundred cases of exposure in the city of Atchison and Atchison county. Dr. Howe says many of these exposures were nurses and others, that it was impossible to isolate for the want of room. In other words, anyone, vac- cinated or not, can nurse a case of smallpox without fear of contracting the disease. if at the same time they use vinegar in tablespoonful doses four times daily in a cup of water. It can be taken fin less amount for small children or more by adults. Dr. Howe advises the use of pure elder vinegar only, as all others contain alcohol. Even after the person exposed has run almost the entire incubation reriod, the use of vinegar will either abort the disease entirely or modify it to the extent of having all the prodional symptoms without the disf1guring erup- ton. To get the immediate control of a smallpox epidemic in a community. he says, everyone should take a course of vinegar fer a week, whether expos ed or not, Diluted vinegar applied To- cally will control tce itching, f our board of health would tell us how to take care of ourselves instead Of get ting up a scare. so as to get an ap- propriation to vaccinate people, they would be of some service to the pub- lie.

ETHEL'S ENGAGEMENT

sPve always kept Lillian away from summer resorts" said the caller. You can't tell a thing about the men you meet at those places! They are likely to be chauffeurs posing as millionaires. I hope you've had EthePs young man looked up carefully. You should not let your joy over her catching him
 blind you to the future. It would be awful to have 8 son-in-law to support, when you and MT. Gimmons live so economically.
 Here is Georges picture" said her 1 hostess in cold triumph as she pro- duced it. One look at him will show you there's no danger of our having to support him"
 remind me of Jabe Stevenson back home who robbed the First National bank and ran away with the druggist s wife. I never saw such resemblance eyes and mouth and everything, l hope he doesn't turn out to be the
 same kind of man. When I was a girl
 lake-T never liked him from the first, but the other girls were wild about
 him-and he turned out to be butch
 CT from the next town. So refined looking, too. You never can tell. Lillian said when she heard about unless I marry a man I've known for wears. I think it is terrible to marry a perfect stranger!" Lillian has such noble ideals"
 George is at the head of the Wink urn paint factory said EtheFs mother with pride. Such a responsible posi- ton and such a big income"
 q hope there won't be a crash a few months after their wedding like the one I just heard about said the caller. The Dills, you know-they flew so high and she kept three girls and now their furniture Is being auctioned off to pay the grocery bill and her cook attached Mrs. Dill's dia- mond necklace.
