she gave 1t to him. This time the

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Early Stages Of Grip.


At the beginning of an attack
of grip, when 1t is manifested
only by headache and painful
lassitude and the commencement
of cold in the head, 1t is advan-
tageous to inhale eau de cologne
profoundly four or five times a
day. Pour the eau de cologne on
a handkerchief and lnhale by
the nose and mouth. This meth
cd prevents the development OF
the cold and ought to be con-
tinued for three days. Should
the symptoms persist after this
period this method should be
given up and another adopted.
In order to diminish the cold
In the head. every three hours a
pinch Of the following powder
should be taken like snuff: Bo-
racic acid, fifteen grams; cocaine
hydrochlorite. twenty-five cent?
grams; menthol. thirty cent?
grams; saloi. five grams.
Or. again, fifteen drops Of the
following liquid should be taken
as gargle In half a glass of
water at least three times and,
II possible. four times day:
Thymol, three grams; tincture Of
eucalyptus. twenty grams; alco-
hol at 80 degrees. 100 grams.
Or the vapor OF teaspoonful
of the following mixture: Men
thol, three grams; alcohol at so
degrees, sixty grams. in a cup Of
hot water, 1t should be inhaled
by the nostrils every two or three
) hours.

County judges throughout the state,
under whose jurisdiction comes the
widow pension law operation look up
the new statute as beneficial one, gen.
orally speaking, and find the most per.
picking problem in administering tho
law, that of wedding out the deserving
from the undeserving.
The law has been in operation little
more than six months, and incoming
reports from several of the counties
show that $lS to $50 a month is the
average paid to the beneficiaries under
the law. In the counties where the bud
get has made provision for a widow s
pension fund, the commissioners have
looked forward to slight increase in
the needs for the coming year, based
on the outlay during the first six
months. Some of the counties look for
an increase of one.third in the next
year,
Lane county is among the leaders
throughout the state outside of Multi
nomah for the number of applicants
allowed and the sum required to make
the payments. Lane county now is ex-
pending at the rate of about $11,0 900 an
nually. Multnomah county is caring for
1870 widows, and the estimated needs
under the law is $4,000 year, al
though the budget provides for $5O,0OO
Marriage of widows after they have
been admitted to the benefits Of the
statute, automatically deprives them
of any rights, and in some cases the

to warrant dropping them from the
lists. The county judges look for fluc-
tuations in the monthly payments as a
result of this from time to time,

1.-THE BAND FROM AMSTERDAM. ;,

The Elks big show, "The Band from
Amsterdam" which will be produced
for the first time in Oregon at the
Grand Opera House, Monday and Tues
day, January 10 and 20, contains a
strong plot that will be of interest to
every resident of Salem and Marion
county. The advantages of the public
market to both the consumer and the
farmer is clearly set forth, together
with the unscrupulous methods prac-
ticed by great commission man. The
story contains many thrills, with pithy,
breezy lines and rapid action. 1t re-
lates conditions that exist at the pres.
ent time in nearly every city of this
country. Familiar present day char
acters portrayed by local people with
whom we come in contact every day
will make the performance doubly in
teresting. ''The- Band from Amster'
DAM is without doubt the greatest
musical comedy ever staged in Salem
by local people, and in fact few travel.
ing productions compare favOrably with
the piece in point of plot, music and
the elaborate manner in which it is
staged. Director Brown stated this
morning that the company is much far

duction than they were last year at
this time in EThe Elks Tooth, " Every
