In the morning after rising and at
night before retiring wash the feet
and legs as high up as the knees in
cold water, then rub them with a
rough towel and massage them till
the skin is red and glowing. In addi
ton to this, snuff tepid water up the
nose frequently during the day and sip
with a teaspoon a glassful as hot as
can be borne an hour before each
meal and at bedtime. A few days is
often quite sufficient for simple cases
and obstinate ones yield if the treat
ment is prolonged. No medicines are
required. If taken in the first stages
of the disease a cold is broken up

WANT TO EXTEND STRIKE.
Milk Wagon Drivers in Boston Are Being
Solicited.

Boston, April Preparations to ex-
tend the strike of milk wagon drivers
and helpers employed by H. p. Hood 4
Sons to its Charlestown barn early to-
day, were made at a meeting of the
men yesterday afternoon at 995 Wash
ington street.
Agent jeremiah +. Driscon of the
drivers union said that AZ more of the
Hood drivers were admitted TO member
ship at the meeting. In the hall there
were ll2 men by actual count, all said
to be employees of the Hood firm. 9th
ers had been coming and going during
the afternoon, it was stated.
Officials of the Hood company de-
clared yesterday that only 80 out of
the 300 drivers are actually on strike,
all of them employed at the Forest Hills
station. DIR. Elson C. Davis, attached
to this plant of the company, said that
no strikebreakers have been hired, and
that no demands have been made on
the company by the union.
The state board of conciliation and
arbitration yesterday rendered its serv-
ices in an effort to adjust matters. The
drivers voted in meeting to submit their
case to the board, or to any mutually
appointed board, and agreed to return
to work pending decision.
Members of the union declared that
detectives from private agency EN-
ployed by the Hood company displayed
revolvers several times during the day,
and that patrolmen forcibly elected
these sleuths from the Cleveland club
when they attempted to storm meet
ing of the drivers.
The union complained that the com
pany employed boys between the ages
of eight and fourteen to deliver milk on
some routes and to point out the houses
of customers to policemen. Agents of
the state board of labor and industries
and of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children are to be on hand
to-day to see whether these allegations
are true.
Stones were thrown at a non-union
driver when he took his wagon from
the Forest Hills barn. No arrests were
made. In Brookline, Claude Marshall,
driver. was dragged from his wagon on
Morton street by strikers and taken to
the Washington street strike headquar-
ters. He returned to work soon after,
however.

EXPECT CAMPBELL TO GET IT.
Presidency of Boston & Maine R. R. /:
Slated for Position.

Boston, April Benjamin Campbell
win probably be elected director OF the
Boston & Maine railroad to-day as a
progressive step toward his election as
president. Mr.. Campbell is the choice OF
the committee of the directors who were
appointed about two months ago to
select a successor to President Morris
Mcdonald.
A nominee for president of this com
pany must be a member of the board
of directors, so prior to his election as
president Mr.. Campbell must be added
to the directorate. As there are several
vacancies in the board it is not. neces-
sary for any director to retire to make
room for Mr.. Campbell.
Inasmuch as it has been decided by
the board of directors to make Mr..
Campbell president, the time of the elec-
tion is merely one of expediency. The
regular meeting of the directors is to
be held to-day and it iss expected that
this win be considered an opportune
time to place Mr.. Campbell on the board,
that he may be elected president at a
subsequent meeting soon.
