ing and Strengthening movements; the
eyes r rolled; there is frothing at
the mouth and the teeth, il there are
any, are ground together and may bite
the tongue. In a few minutes the
movements grow less violent and then
cease, and the child begins to cry
or goes into a heavy lseep with its
body rather sitter than usual. Some
times before consciousness is re-
gained or the rigidity disappears,
another spasm occurs, and so the
child may go on from fit to fit I'M
til it dies. The whole attack lasts
from one or two minutes to hours.
Treatment must be very prompt.
The child should at once have a hot
bath which should cover it to the
neck, while cold clothes, frequently
renewed, are kept on it's head. 1t
must be left in the water for ten min
utes, and then be wrapped in a blan-
ket without drying. Since the attack
may be due to irritating food in the
stomach, the child should be made to
vomit by giving it a ~teaspoonful of
syrup of ipecac or other emetic just
as soon as it is able to swallow. If
the spasm still continues and the doc
tor has not come, the bowel should be
washed out with a large injection of
warm water. Fortunately, the hot
bath and the emetic answer every our
pose in most cases and relieve the
attack, sparing the mother the re-
sponsibility of using the injection.
The physician should be called in
all cases as the spasm may be the
beginning of a serious disease which
should have immediate treatment.
Spasms from Indigestion are fire.

reason parents should guard against
the over indulgence of their children
in fruit, especially unripe fruit, candy,
meat, etc.

Students To
Hold Fair
AT H. S. Gymnasium Next
Wednesday Night.

L0provide finances for the Basket
Ball season the students Of the high
school are planning for the annual
county fair to be held this Wednesday
evening before Thanksgiving. More
time has been spent upon this to make
il q success than ever before. Already
many concessions have been granted
and attractions secured. The gym
nasium will be the scene Of most Of
the fun. Here will be built midway
lined with booths and shows. Other
features will be staged in the different
class rooms. The interest will center
chiefly around forty minute coon
show which is replete with many good
songs and laughs. Caruso the great
tenor has been secured for one of the
principal parts in this. He will come
directly from New York bringing with
him new songs and costumes. A Dixie
band will also be here to assist in this
entertainment. A few OF the other
features will be the Siamese Twins,
Mutt and Jeff, Jitney Museum, Strong
Man, and the Shooting Gallery. One
Of the field attractions will be pie eat
ing contest. All who wish may come
dressed to fit the occasion and prize
will be offered to the most original
dressed person. No one can afford to
miss this. There will be no admission
charged at the gate-the midway. The
sight of this alone will be worth the
time spent. And the coon show-well
come and see for your self.

To Keep Housewives Hands
White.

II requires great care to keep delicate
hands soft and white when one must
fill the triple position OF wife, mother
and maid. When washing dishes use
dish mop, pure white soap, and wear
a rubber glove on the hand you use in
the water. When scrubDing wear
rubber gloves. When sweeping and
busting loose pair of cotton gloves
will protect the hands wonderfully.
The cold hanle irons save the hands
very much. Use good pure soap for
all kinds of work. The comfort and
appearance Of your hands will more
than repay you for the few cents extra
expense. Wash the cotton gloves ev-
cry day after your work is finished.
Lemon juice will remove all stains
from the hands. Lemon juice and
glycerine, equal parts, rubbed on
soften and whiten them.

DEATH OF
EARLY SETTLER
John O'Neill, Pioneer Marion
Settler Drops Dead at
His Home

John O'Neill, one of the best known
of the early pioneers of this section,
dropped dead at his Marion farm home
Sunday evening, evidently of heart
failure, at an advanced age.
Mr.. O'Neill was "a pioneer of the
pioneers, having taken up the home
stead where he died in 1867. For many
years he was the supervisor of Marion,
and was considered one the ablest mem
bers of the many boards upon which he
served. He was born in Ireland and
came from excellent Irish stock. His
father, the late Richard O'Neill, whom
we well knew, held high office in his
native country. He was a conspicuous
type of the ''fine old Irish gentleman,
possessing rare intelligence and the
ready wit for which his race is noted.
He died at his sons home in Marion
nearly forty years ago.
John, the subject of this article, in
herited in a marked degree all the rare
qualities of his father. Literally edu-
Gated as boy In MS native town, ne
was Slated" by his parents for the
priesthood, and sent to Catholic col
lege in Brussels, Belgium, Qately de-
wasted by the Germans,) where he
studied for three years, but, thwarting
the hopes Of his parents, he returned to
his Irish home, soon after this coming
with his parents to this country, bury
ing his exceptionally brilliant talents in
the precarious life OF pioneer home
stead settler. He was one of the most
companionable and intelligent conver-
sationalists upon any subject that we
have ever known.
Besides wife, he leaves two sons
and three daughters. -Charlevoix

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUTIT.

'In what way" asks the Houston
"Post," ''can the Republicans attack
the Democratic tariff? What do they
know about its virtues or defects?"
This is no troublesome connumdrum.
1t is ridiculously easy. Republicans
can attack the Democratic tariff by tell
ing the truth about it. And as for
what they know about its defects, il
would take an entire issue of this paper
to summarize it.
For instance, we know that in the
first eight months that the Democratic
tariff was in operation our imports In
creased $114,0OO,OOO and our customs
revenues decreased $36, 10000
We know that our imports of raw
materials for manufacturing increased
$34, 900, 900, and that even with the war
our imports in these lines are $33,OOO,-
600 more than they were under Repub-
lican tariff.
We know that our importations OF
foodstuffs jumped up $88, 200, 900, that
practically all Of it came in free of duty,
and that, even during the war, the in.
crease was maintained
We know that, in the first eight
months of the Democratic tariff, our
exports fell off $2O4, 600, 900 and that
our farmers had to see a shrinkage in
their foreign sales Of $57,OOO,OOO.
We Republicans know a lot about
the defects of the Democratic tariff and
before the next session of Congress Is
over and before the next campaign is
over, the Houston "Post" will be given
the benefit of our knowledge.
