FILIBUSTER AGAINST WATERWAYS BILL IS CONTINUED IN SENATE

Washington, September 16.--A mea- gre attendance of senators, at times dwindling to drowsy half dozen, sat through another day of tedious debate today as the filibuster against the river and harbor bill continued. Sen ators Kenyon and Borah occupied the floor most of the time. It is probable that by tomorrow evening a conference will be held to determine whether the democrats will take drastic means to break the filibuster.

Wormwood Salt

In regard to wormwood salt. inquired about in the Corner. it is doubtless an ounce of impure carbonate of potassa that the recipe calls for as cleanser absinthium (wormwood). This sub stance was formerly called salt of wormwood Csal absinthii). It is ini- pure carbonate of potassa obtained by lixivating the ashes of the plant. There are several species of the plant, native of Europe, where it has been cultivated for medicinal purposes. The plant was at an early day naturalized in the mountainous districts of New England. and was among the garden herbs in that locality. Worwood has strong odor an intensely bitter taste, is nau- seous, and imparts these properties to water and alcohol. The constituents are of bitter and an almost insipid azot1zed matter, an excessively bitter resinous substance, green volatile oil. chlofophyil, albumen, starch, saline matters and lignin. Among the saline substances there is one consisting of postassa, and an acid which is peculiar. and called absinthic acid, and is found to be perfectly identical with succinic acid. This acid may be recognized among the products Of dry distillation of wormwood. Wormwood was known to the ancients. is highly tonic, and an old-time remedy in diseases of de- bilitated condition, especially of the digestive organs. B. c. L."

their posters out for an entertainment
to be held in the town hall on Tuesday
evening, April IA, when they propose
to present the best local talent repre-
senting vocal and instrumental music
and speaking, to be followed by a
dance, 1t is to be hoped that the well
earned reputation for clean and snappy
ball playing of years gone by will be
sustained this year. While there will
be some losses by removals, and by
some of the older players dropping out,
it is thought that there are enough
young men just breaking into the game
to make II first class amateur team.
