it is apparent that a judicial inter
probation and Qualification of the Jaw

cerned. ute frankly, we are now UNI
able to apply the law because we dc
now know what it means. We know
what the men want, but the lawyers
say the law does not give them that
but gives them something else which
every railroad manager knows they
10 Hot want. Th men axe naturally
disappointed that the question is mol
settled and so are the managers
but we must all have patience and

GARLIC AS REMEDY FOR
WH0OPING COUGH

New York, Nov. 25.-The New York
Medical journal says this of garlic
used externally as a remedy for whoop
ing cough.
"T. Mark Howell of London, at the
repeated request of many friends,
communicates to the British Medical
Journal a rural remedy for whooping
cough which appeals to be not known
generally to the profession. 1t con-
sists of peeling the cloves of garlic,
as the segamcnts of the bulb are call
ed, cutting them into thin slices and
wearing them under the sCles of the
feet between two pair of socks, for
if placed next the skin the pressure
used by walking is apt to cause irri-
tation. The garlic can usually be
smclled in the breath within half an
hour after theslices have been worn,
and the whoop andspasm usually dis
appear within forty-eight hours. The
garlic should be worn for a week or
m days or longer. according to the
severity of the case.
Among the French Canadian hab-
itants we know that onions are used
in exactly the same way. Garlic may
also be administered by eating it as
form of bread sauce, made by chop
ping up the cloves when peeled, boil
ing Them in milk and mixing them
with bread-crums."

KEEPS FAMILY OF Is
ON $4,000 4 YEAR

Chicago, Nov. 25.-"Live in the city
mad raise a large family if you are
looking for happiness and health anl
prosperity"
This is the advice of Mrs. Edward
A. Sharp, who is carrying out hel
words by keeping together a family
of eighteen, the largest in Chicago.
The family, Mrs. Sharp says, is liv-
ing in comparative luxury and enjoy.
ing life on $4,000 a year. Mr.. Sharp
is an oil salesman. and the two eldest
daughters support the family. OF the
remaining fourteen children, John, "a,
is attending school. Fifteen of the
children live under the same roof.
How do they do it?
by careful and right living" says
Mrs. Sharp. Il run the house as my
husband runs his business. We buy
at retail and we pay cash for every
thing. We do not skimp on neces-
saries, but we cut out unwholesome
luXuries in food and dress and the re-
suit is true happiness, bank account
and but few doctors bills
Mrs. Sharp scorns the theory that
the same money would go furthur in
the country.
"Thc city has too many advantages
over the country" she says. MY
children attend the public schools and
have competent instructors. The park
and beaches offer free recreation, and
there are good positions opened to
the children when they reach working
age. The children are kept busy by
individual tasks which each must per-
form. They have not time to engage
in evil pursuits. We have no servants
because with so many willing hands
in the house there is no need for them
Eight loaves of bread are bought
daily for the family and ten quarts of
milk, besides twenty dozens of eggs
a week. When meat is served it usu-
ally requires So worth for a meal
Mrs. Sharp is not interested in teas
or club or other social activities, al
though she says she has leisure time
enough for them were she so inclined.

friend, were then auctioned off and

iourned.
