To Break Up a Cold.

The hydropathic treatment of cold
IN the head is more reliable than any
other one which scarcely requires the
aid of a physician. Il is as follows:
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 add.
ton to this, snuff tepid water up the
nose frequently during the day and sip
with 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
aid obstinate ones yield if the treat
ment is prolonged. No medicines are
required. If taken in the first stages
of the disease cold is broken up
which might otherwise become So
we're case of bronchitis lasting many
days or weeks.

Stroke kitty the wrong way and
she splits. Yet she sleeps In the
kitchen by the fire. What of it! The
very lap of her mistress has not count

In the grass, she makes her way to-

Dallas Lore Sharp in the Atlantic.
A SILVER runs through you. You can
feel her claws-so tiger-like is she,
so wild and savage, SO bent on the
kill. Or come upon her at dead OF
night in some empty, dimly lighted
alley She is on the prowl. The light
of the narrow. gulchlike street falls
on her with a startling largeness and
marks her silent shadow on the flags.
She moves stealthily out TO the cor
ner, and, well within the shadows,
stops to glance furtively up and down
the open cross-street. But the peo-
pie are all within the shut doors.
There Is no one for her to devour.

Resettinu a Shoulder.

A dislocated shoulder may b re-
placed with scarcely any pain BY the
following procedure, according to DR..
Julius Caesar of Leicester, England:
Divest the patient Of his coat and
waistcoat. Place him on the ground in
sitting posture. Grasp the wrist of
the dislocated arm and have a third
person grasp the wrist of the other
arm. Raise both arms simultaneously
over the head, taking care to keep
them parallel, and extending them up
ward till the patient is just raised
from the ground. At this point click
is heard and felt. This is the sound Of
the arm bone going back into its
socket
There are some dislocated shoulders
that cannot be reduced this way, but
they are the rare exceptions.

Spirits

First, the spirit OF the eighteenth
century is not found in its letters.
Not modern of the moderns, not a
progressive of the progressives, would
wish anything more appropriate to
the twentieth century than the spirit
of 1916. But he could not work out
his twentieth century problems by /
list of grievances against King George
III nor by the literal limitations OF
what the eighteenth century revolu-
tionists had to deal with.
Second, the spirit of the eighteenth
century was several spirits. 1t was
the spirit Of Jefferson and franklin
and it was the spirit of Hamilton. 1t
was the spirit of the radical Declare
ton of independence, and 1t was the
spirit Of the reactionary constitution
In its spicy variety, in fact, it was re
markably like If not identical with
the spirit of every other century,

Helping Children With Their Lessons.

Helping Children With Their Lessons.
1t is sometimes a question whether
or not a child should be assisted in
the preparation of his lessons for the
next day. Coed pedagogy declares
that the child develops most quickly
who is stimulated by a problem that
challenges his ability, one that is not
too easy, one that is not too hard.
II it is the former, Ee is not inter
ested; whereas, If it is the latter, he
is discouraged. 1t may be taken, as
a general rule, that it is better not
to help a child until he has gotten
discouraged and then rather to help
him to help himself, to guide him
and let him 80 the rest of the way
himself
A backward child, of course, needs
more assistance than a bright child,
but with him more care is required in
developing self-reiiance; his tendency
is to become more dependent and his
need of initiative is greater.

How to Strike Safety Matches.

1t is a common thing with smokers
for their safety matchboxes to give
out on the striking side before all the
matches are used up. If they will keep
in mind just one thing. this can always
be averted. The safety striking part
is very quick on trigger. and needs
only slight contact, instead of long
scratch. Simply snap the end of the
match quickly for about quarter of
an inch on the striking surface. In
this way the outside may always be
kept fresh and usable The long scratch
of course causes the match to ignite
before contact ceases, and the surface
Is actually burnt up.
Some safety matches will strike on

 DOING QUITE WELL.
Officer Mansfield Made Report to Judge
 Greene of Superior Court

Eighty-two per cent of the 22 cases in charge of the superior court proba- ton officer, Richard w. Mansfield. were reported to Judge Gardiner Greene as observing probation and giving sat isfactory account of themselves. This has meant in six cases that wife and children have been supported by their husbands, instead of becoming charges upon the town where they lived. In eight other cases young men with no previous records against them have been saved from terms in jail or prison and are making a successful effort to make good. Four other cases are women, mothers of children. Three of them are doing well.
 One woman, because of her love for liquor, was recommitted to jail. One half witted young man left the farm where he was working after serving three months on probation. His pres enu whereabouts are unknown. He had one year to serve. There are two cases which are being carefully watch ed who may yet be required to serve jail senterce. Nathan Lawrences s term of probation expired in October, 1913. He observed terms of probation but has just been committed to jail for an offense similar to the one fer which he was first committed.

SUNNYSiDE SEWERS.
City Engineer Pitcher Getting Out
 Figures for Estimates

In anticipation of what it is ex- pected will be asked for since Sunny side has been added to the city, City Engineer George F. Pitcher has been getting out the estimates for the sew CTS that will be needed there. He has figured on two trunk line sewers as the first requisites, one to be in Laurel Hill avenue. where 30 inch pipe would be required and the other in Garfield avenue with a 24 inch pipe. There are two brooks to be taken care of in the Laurel avenue sewer so that a pipe of large size would be required. In some parts of the Laurel Hill ave- nue sewer the pipe would reduce to 12 inches In Sunnyside avenue a sewer pipe of IS inches would probably be needed with branches of or 10 inch pipe for the side streets.
 When the sewers are laid the sec tional Akron pipe will be used, the first of that type to be used in this city. It is extensively used in the west with very satisfactory results as to service and at great reduction in expense of laying as compared with brick sewers.

No Need Being Old or

l-islian Russell says any woman who has wrinkles before she's z5 is herself responsible for them Sunshine and fresh air she considers more valuable as complexion preservers than nos strums and cosmetics
 The chief objection to cosmetics is that at best they only temporarily coy- CT up defects. There are ceratin true aids to Nature, which may be applied with directly opposite effect. Ordinary mercolized wax, for instance. actually removes bad or oldish complexion. by gradually, almost imperceptibly. peelfng oh the wOrnout scarf skin. Just one ounce. procurable at any drug store. will soon unveil an entirely new and natural complexion, with an ex- quisite giriish color. Of course cuta- neous blemishes. like pimples, freckIes. fine lines, moth patches. liver spots, disappear with the discarded skin
 To prevent or remove wrinkles a face bath, which also produces natural results, is made by dissolying an ounce of powdered saxolite in half pint witch hazel This Is immediately ef- fective and gives no untoward after effect

For the whole of Connecticut it is estimated that the population should have grown from S05,S9 on April 15, 1910 to SS2,439 in 1914, and for all of New England the population at the two times mentioned is given at 6.552.6S1 and 6.962.07s. For the other New England states the figures are given as follows:
 Maine. 742,371 and 7e2.7S7: New Hampshire. 430,572 and 43S,S62; Yer mont, 355.S56 and 361.205; Massachu- setts. 3.366, +16 and 3.605. .522; Rhode Island. 542,610 and 5s1.215.
 The list of municipal corporations, including the New England towns, with a population of 5000 or more in 1910. numbers 777: of this number. 32 decreased in population from 1900 to 1910
 The estimated population of contin- ental United States July 1, 1914, is 8.781, ,324 The estimated population of the TIT municipalities is 39.6S2. .6S5. The proportion, therefore. of the pop ulation in the TT municipalities is 40.2 per cent. of the total
 The so-called arithmetical method was adopted for computing the esti- mates of population. It is the sim plest and it has been shown by ex- perience to come nearer in accuracy In the majority of cases than any other formula It rests on the assumption that the increase each year since the enumeration is equal to the annual increase from 1900 to 1910.
