ONION FOR THE FLU
Face an Onion at Bedpost on Retir- ing, Make a Wish and Point Fin
 ger at the Moon for a Cure.

2 Chicago, Oct. 25.-Place an onion at the bedpost, draw out the fever of Spanish influenza, point the index finger of the left hand at the moon ana make a wish. Then go to work as usual next day.
 TEis and scores of equally ridic- ulCus remedies have been swamping health authorities and physicians of tho middlewest during the last few days. They come from corresponds cnts in all walks of life and are based on home treatment, witchcraft and vooGooism.
 Lieutenant Commander Owen J. Mink, Medical Corps, senior medical Officer at the Great: Lakes Naval Training station, has been tipped mdEy times to the great secret Some correspondents guarantee to stop the epidemic in ten minutes; others ill three days. The water in certain we'll, one writer informed Lieut. Mink, would bring instant cure. An o.lther writer told him that Indian totscco, sprinkled on the victim breast through a perforated baking powder can was a sure cure.
 Health authorities in some dist ricts have been told of the famous nssro voodooism cures, not only foi influenza but for all ailments.
 For instance, under the negro prac- tiCe, night sWeats can be cured by placing a rusty ax edge under the bed For malarial chills, dip a string in turpentine and tie it around the waist, or tie strand of yarn on the top button of the coat If this should fail, hang horseshoe in a peach tree.
 For collie, have a person who has 1,ever seen his father blow his breath in the child's mouth very early in the morning, and for measles, bath the eruption in the blood of a black hen For hiccough, drink water out of a brass bell while looking at a new moon.
 Under negro vOOdoOism treatment fits can be cured by giving the pa tient one drop of his own blood drawn from the tip of the little fin gir. Pick wart until it bleeds touch it with nine grains of corn throw the corn to the chickens and the wart will disappear.
 ROT rheumatism, heat a pan of grease, put nine live frogs in the pan, stir down to an ointment and rub joints we'll, and, according to the voodooism treatment. permanent cure will follow.
 With thte medical profession of the country fighting the epidemic with all the tools of modern science the freak suggestions have furnished some relaxation for idle hours, lead ing physicians here say.

Washington, Oct 25.-President Wilson today issued an appeal tc the people to return a democratic congress in the November elections if they approve of his course in this critical period.
 Return of Republican majority to either house of the congress. the president said, would certainly be water as a repudiation of my lead eIskip."
 The president said he would accept the country's verdict without avail, but that if it was adverse, the power to administer the great trust assigned to him would be seriously impaired.
 Following is the presidents ap- zeal:
 My fellow countrymen:
 ''The congressional elections are at hand. They occur at the most criti- cal period our country has ever faced or is likely to face in cur time. Ii you have approved of my leader ship and wish me to continue to be your unembarrassed spokesman in affairs at home and abroad, 1 earnest ly beg that you will express your selves unmistakably to that effect by returning democratic majority to both the senate and house of repre- se1itatives.
 "I am your servant and will ac- cept your Judgment without cavil but my power to administer the great trust assigned. me by the constitu- t;or would be seriously impaired should your Judgment he adverse, and l must frankly tell you So because so many critical issues depend upon your verdict No scruple of taste must in grim times like these be allowed to come in the way of speak irg the plain truth.
 "I have no thought of suggesting that any political party is paramount il matters of patriotism. feel too deeply the sacrifices which have been made in this war by all our citizens irrespective of party affiliations, to harbor any such an idea. I mean only that the difficulties and deli- cacies of our present task are of sort that makes it imperatively necessary that the nation should give its undivided support ito the government under a unified leader ship and that Republican congress would divide the leadership.
 '"The leaders of the minority i'll the present congress have unques- .tionably been pro-war, but they have been nti-administration At almost every turn since we entered the wal they have sought to take the choice

Railroad Growing Dates

Nye county can boast of having
the only date farm in Nevada. For
over two years dates have been
grown on the farm of the Tonopah
and Tidewater railroad in the
Amargosa valley under the personal
direction of F. M. Jenifer, traffic
manager. The company has been
operating an experimental farm
with success. In the Coachella val
ley, on the shore of the Salton sea
in California, dates sell for a dol
lar a pound on the trees and the
demand cannot be supplied.

The British Army now consists Of
about four million men, but more
men are needed to end the war
quickly. Now is the time for the
200,0 900 Britishers and Canadians in
the United States to spring to arms
and help beat the Kaiser.
Why should a mar wait to be
drafted" said the British officer
first quoted, "when he has the glori-
Gus privilege of volunteering his
services now? Every man is needed,
and a steady supply of men must 90
forward every week."
The British Tommies have become

three and a half years ago, the Brit
ish Army today is marching on to
new victories in Palestine and stands
ready in France and Flanders to de-
liver a mighty blow in attack or to
successfully withstand the shock of
any attempt the Germans may make
to break through.
The British Army has been un-
shaken by every manifestation of
German frightfulness. Major DON
aid Guthrie declares that during an
attack by German flame throwers he
has seen the British Tommies in the
trenches actually warming their
hands as the liquid fire came near.
"When the British Tommies are
holding a TRENCH" continued Major
Guthrie, "the Germans cannot drive
them out. The only way they can
get them out is to blast them out"
