A Fine Gray Eagle

A fine specimen of gray eagle was
for several days on exhibition IN the
window of Mr.. Ernest A. Trultt at the
drug store on West Main, and drew big
crowds Of curious persons. 1t was a
young fellow, but whopper for all
that, measuring seven feet, two inches
with wings expanded. 1t was shot by
Mr.. Charles Ellison. wing being
broken. On y ednesday it was ex-
pressed 10 the Wilmington Zoo, al
though its right wing was broken and
it had neither eaten nor drank in three
days, it seemed to be in good condition,
its bold eyes flashing calm defiance at
all the sightseers. The Scribe offered
quarter to the first one of a crowd of
boys standing in front of the drug store
window, that caught 1t wlnking-but
had no takers. Reason, the eagle never
winks, but uses instead its nictitating
membrane, called it's third eyelid, to
protect its strong eyes when gszing
from its lofty eyrie full in the face of
the dazzling sun itself.

Farmland Burns House

Charles 0. Buckson, who lives on the
D. M. and A. P. Corbit farm, near
Taylor's Bridge, had this house set on
fire Sunday night by Polish farmland,
whose name was not known by Mr..
Buckson. The fire was first discovered
by Mr.. Buckson in the bedroom of the
farmland, who had left suddenly.
Neighbors succeeded in getting most of
the household goods out, as the house
was build on old Colonial style, of brick
.and burned very slowly,
The fire engines of NIiddletown and
Smyrna responded and held the fire
under ,ntrol.
Mr.. Buckson seems to be the victim
of some fire bug, as his stables burned
last wear, when he lived on the Wilds
farm, near Smyrna. Several Of lis
horses died of some unknown disease.
The house loss was estimated at 5000.
The Corbits and Mr.. Buckson are trying
] to locate the Pole.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT

Richard Kemmer, aged 10 years,
whose home is in Cannojoharie, N. Y,
met with most horrible accident here
Sunday morning. When IN allgh Ting
from fast moving freight train he
lost his balance and was carried under
the train, having his right foot cut off.
Kemmer is an employee of the firm
of Fred T. Ley, who are building the
shell-loading plant of the Marlin-Rock
well Company, near Port Penn, being
emoloyed as yard clerk on the new
railroad line, with the Delaware divis-
ion, at MI. Pleasant.
Kemmer had worked all night and
was eff duty and had boarded a pass
ing freight to return to his boarding
house here. Fearing that the train
would not stop here. he jumped when
the train was running fast about 100
yards above the station. He landed
on an enbankment and was thrown
under the wheels of the caboose as he
fell.
Kemmer displayed the greatest OF
nerve after the accident. After the
wheels of the caboose had passed over
his foot he arose and attempted to
walk Finding it impossible, he stoop-
ed and removed his shoe. when the
entire front portion of his foot fell
from his stocking.
He was then carried to the station
on a stretcher, and DR.. Edward M.
Vaughan, who was summoned, dressed
the wound and made the patient COM
Portable He was later attended by
DR.. d. w. Lewis, and by him sent t0
the Delaw are Hospital in Whining ton,
where his condition is considered very
serious.
He was at work trying to earn
enough money to complete college
course, and was saving his money for
that purpose. He displayed his great
est concern for | i; mother in his hom :,
town and asked that his father be
notified.
kemmer YVES operated on at the
hospital shortly after his arrival there
and amputatiOn was necessary six
inches above the ankle.

BOYS AND GIRLS HELPING

The boys and girls OF the state of
Delaware are being organized to aid
the soldiers by each earning and Civ
ing toward the United War Work
! Can paign to be conducted on NOvem-
Der 1l18 in the interest Of seven or
ganizations doing war welfare work.
The slogan is "A Delaware boy and
girl back of every Delaware tighter"
State School Commissioner Spaid
heartily approves of the plan but he
expressed his opinion that there might
lie some difficulty for the boys and girls
of rural communities ia finding suitable
work to do to earn and fill their pledge
| to help in the great work of "backihg
the boys" therefore the following
suggestions were made by Walter S.
Watson, the executive secretary for
the Victory Boys and Girls.
There are three plans by which the
money may be acquired. the self-denial
plan, the allowance plan, and the work
plan.
Boys and girls, are you not willing to
do without few sundaes and movies
so that big brother lover there,
whether he is your brother or someone
else's, may have cup of hot coffee on
cold night, or some cigarettes and
chocolate after hard day in the trench
es. or a warm hut where he can have
some fun with the fellows? This is the
self denial plan.
If father or mother gives you an allow
ance for spending money, couldn't you
save half of it for few weeks, so that
| lonely sailor can 90 to the theatre or
wounded soldier have book to read?
| This is the allowance plan.
Then comes the odd jobs. that we may
not like. Fixing the furnace for the
neighbors, cleaning autos, housecleaning
and housework odd jobs, carpentering,
and thousand others for fair pay with
out interfering with school work.
Don't say 81 wish l could help fight
the Hun" Go to it! boy or girl and
get behind fighter. There are about
twenty thousand boys from Delaware
defending the colors and they need your
help.
The older folks can do their share by
saving their odd jobs for the young
people and reporting them to teacher
| to the nearest school house.
ErnestJ. Hardesty, of Seaford, super
intendent Of schools, will have charge
of the Victory Boys and Girls of Sussex
county, and the Rev. Victor Lightbourne
will have the same Office for Kent
county. These men will help the boys
and girls of the state in their learn and
give" campaign to assist in the United
War Work Drive for the welfare Of
our fighters.

Editor Transcript
C:n.

The writer learned during a recent
visit to Philadelphia that the physicians
there had found very simple and ef-
fective preventive of the ''flu" in that
old household remedy Phenol Sodique
ia teaspoonful cf the liquid to three
teaspoonfuls of warm water used as a
nasal douche or sprayed in an atomizer
three or four times day, or even
oftener. 1t was also used as gargle
for sore throat with good effect.
The writer having had severe sore
throat that yielded but slightly to treat
ment resolved to try the Phenol So
dique. and did so with admirable re-
suits, using dilution for his highly in
| famed throat and nostrils of ten or
! twenty to one, that is, such dilution
as would not cause severe pain in those
parts. This mixture of warm water
and Phenol Sodique snuffed up into the
posterior nasal passages is also an ex-
! cellent remedy for catarrh, the phenol
acting as an antiseptic and the soda as
| a soothing cleanser, with results every
way delightful.
AS is well-known the pathogenic or
ganism or germ causing the grip or in
! fluenza, lodges upon the mucous men,
brane OF the throat and nasal passages
and passing thence into the blood un-
(dergoes there multiplication into
countless myriads of other like germs
| whose secreted toxins cause fever and
death.
1t would seem plain, then, that were
these mucous surfaces kept clean
through frequent washings with this
antiseptic and cleansing Phenol Sodique,
these deadly organisms would not he
able thus to enter the blood stream.
The writer is confident that his habit
of frequently cleansing his throat and
nostrils in this manner rendered him
immune to the ''flu" infection. The
remedy is simple one, and costs but
trife Our drug stores keep the Phe-
mol SOdlque, and the writer urges
trial both as ''fu" preventive and as
a remedy for catarrh and colds. The
best results are gotten when using the
Phenol Sodique as gargle by inclining
the head forward and downward.
While there is every reason to be-
lieve that the worst of this dangerous
''hu" plague is over, there are yet re-
turns of it in some places and it would
be wise to use the excellent regimen
above described both as a preventive
of that disease and also as cure for
those catarrhal conditions so common in
this latitude in winter and spring. Any
one trying this simple remedy will
never abandon it.
