since the days when Rome fell heir to
the sea power Of Athens and Carthage.
Over this waterway Rome met the
pirates Of Istria and Dalmatia, agrees

of Slavs, over it the empire Of the east

Walsh blamed the inertia of the
people for the present economic con-

wage for the workman and recovery
of land stolen from the people by the
great corporations, were remedies.

Walsh. Man should have free ac-

then should the thieves who stole the

should take it back.

proper wage for telephone girls be
overlooked when setting the rates for

Toothache is essentially an inf1am-
matory condition, and in SO per cent of
the cases there is cavity in the tooth
In those cases where there is a cavity,
but no nerve exposure, the treatment
is simple-apply a sedatiye and ex-
clude the secretions of the mouth from
the cavity; prompt relief will follow,
and then advise the patient to visit
a competent dentist, says a dentist.
A very effective agent, and one al.
ways at hand. is the oil of cloves. 1t
should be applied by ssturating cotton
with the remedy and introducing it
into the cavity with a toothpick or
other pointed instrument; that being
done, the secretions are kept out by
filling the cavity with little beeswax,
household remedy always at hand
The wax can be applied by warming
over lamp on the point OF knife and
forcing into the cavity The wax fill.
ing serves not only the purpose of
keeping the secretfons of the mouth
out, but prevents thermal changes
from affecting the nerve when hot and
cold substances are taken into the
mouth.

Cure for Snake Bite.

Many are the curious methods
adopted for curing snake bites, but
surely none can be more so than a
way OF which our Bhavnagar CORE
spordent informs US. Two natives in
a village near that station were, he
says, brought back to life after being
bitten by a cobra.
The victims were seated on the
ground and then held, while from a
height Of 16 feet gallons and gallons
Of hot water were poured on their
heads. Presently, according to the cor
respondent, the victims took a new
lease Of life," and are now as well as
though they had never been in the
jaws Of death.
The explanation to this "cure" prob
ably Is that the snake, as often hap
pens, bit its victims. but injected no
poison into them. Thus the men were
merely frightened, and continued to
be frightened until the pain caused by
the douche OF hot water gave them
something else to think about.-Civil
and Military Gazette.

CANADIANS OPINION OF
FLORIDA AND CUBA

Orlando Sentinel: Mr.. and Mrs. w.
H. Steinback, of Toronto, Canada, who
have spent a month in Cuba, are in
the city for a few days. Mr.. Stein
back says that Cuba is great coun-
try, but that the citizenship of Flori-
da is so vastly superior to that of
Cuba, and the advantages Of Uncle
Sans government are SO great that
no American citizen, bent on citrus
culture, can afford to pass over Flor
ida simply because of the warmer win
ter winds of Cuba. After having
spent several winters in California,
Mr.. Steinback says that this trip
through Florida has been revela-
ton to him.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local anplications, as thew cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inf1amed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the austachian tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. deafness
is the result, and unless this tube be
restored to its normal condition.
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in

HEALTH NEWS
Do You Know Your Age and Birth
day?

LID lou hnOW AOur Age ana blrtn-
day?
How old are you? When were you
born? See if you really know. See
if your children know how old they
are.
Do not laugh at these simple ques-
tions until you try the test, Assume
that you were born on March 10th,
and that you are 16 years old, in
what year were you born?
According to a recent issue of the
Public Health Reports, it is common
occurrence to find children in school,
even high school pupils in the junior
and senof years who cannot tell how
old they are, or who if they do, can
not tell accurately in what year they
were born.
You will need this information when
you apply for a marriage license, or
in case you claim that you are heir
to a fortune that is going to some
other person, or in registering for
voting, or for a government position.
You may have to go under oath as
to your age when you pay your Gus
toms upon return from your next
European trip, so you should prac-
tice up.
In some of our states there is no
birth registration, SO you may not
be able to prove from the records
that you ever were born. This might
be embarrassing to you if you want
to marry in Europe.
Perhaps the easiest way to remem-
Der your age is to form some jingle
or rhyme on your birth year. For
instance; "In 1897 little Johnnie came
from Heaven or ''in 1882 little Susie
began to boo." Never mind what the
rhyme is, just so you remember it and
if, after reaching the age of 40, you
want to prove that you are only %
years, old, just change the rhyme and
perhaps people will believe you when
you repeat the jingle to prove your
youth.

No one seems to dwell on the
charms of the grass-widower; and OF
all men, he is the most attractive.
He hasn't a wife in his immediate

nor the shadow Of a dead romance
about him like a bona-flde widower.

NIeknames Of PrIze Elahtsrs.

There was time when nearly every
prominc1t prize fighter had a nick
name more generally rsed by admir-
ers than his real name, and some Of
these were picturesque. William
Thompson, who won the championship
in 1885, was known as Bendigo. The
Australian mining town was named af.
ter him, and although some of it's in
habitants managed to have it re-
christened Sandhurst, the new name
never caught on.

what the Women are Doing

The women of warning nations are
nursing, cheering and comforting the
wounded or dying. The women of
Europe not only wrap bandages and
scrape lint, but they tend the farms,
dig coal, carry burdens and do the
work of the men now under arms.
Every male fighter, however brawny
and heroic, was born of woman; the
high courage and hardihood that are
a nations strength are inherited from
the mother.
Young mothers who preserve the
charms of face and figure in spite of
an increasing family and the care of
growing children, are always to be
envied. DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription gives the strength and
health upon which happy motherhood
depends. 1t practically does away
