WhoOping Cough.

Is whOoping cough contagious,
and can you carry it in your
clothes to another person? III. NJ
Answer-It is communicable n
the same way that measles and
diphtheria are spread, Through the
fine spray given OF from nose and
mouth when .the patient talks or
laughs-the spray carries not over
five feet then-or while sneezing Or
coughing without covering nose
and mouth, when the spray cafries
10 feet. 1t is doubtful whether a
third persons can be infected by a
carrier; but if you happen to be
coming down with the disease your
self, you may infect another per-
son before you become frankly i'll.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
COrna.

Have been troubled with corns
for several years. Please suggest
something to relieve them. TX. M
Answer-Persons compelled to
leave off their shoes for a few
weeks, as during illness or dis
ability from accident, invariably
get rid of their corns, which proves
that corns are due to the pressure
and friction of poorly fitted shoes.
Vanity walks on corns. Paint ca n
corn each night with d solution OF
80 grains of salicylic acid in hall
an ounce of flexible collodion. In
4 week or 10 days the corn will
come off. The solution must be
kept tightly stoppered, else it will
eyaporate and leave a card mass
(Which may be softened again only
by adding more ether).

| If when the bituwinous coal is
bought the householder will make an
attempt to procure low volatile coal
which has been sifted to get ont the
dirt and dust, a properly handled Iuf-
mace will give practically as good re-
suits with the substitute as with the
anthracite and at far smaller cost.
Instead of the anthracite method
of firing, where the coal is spread IN
an even layer over the entire top OF OF
the furnace, if the householder Will

of going up the chimney in waste as
would otherwise be the case, the ba-
reau states.
With the proper regulation Of the
ire, using the draft and damper, a
little experimenting will demonstrate
that the banks needed for the fresh
coal can be made to form when firing

fred first to one side of the furnace
ard on the next firing on the other
side.

Washington, Oct, IS. UNITED
Press)-Instructions for operating
furnaces with bituminous coal that
have formerly used only anthracite
have been prepared by the bureau OF
mines.
Owing to the great shortage of an
thracite this year, caused by the
strike, which will make less than 90

letin explaining the kind, price and
operation of bituminous coal as sub

The best substitute for the unob-
tainable anthracite is coke, the bui-
letin stated, but this commodity will
be almost, if not more, scarce than
anthracite this year. With this the

depositors of the defunct bank and
also the commercial life OF that
community for / feared a continua-
ton OF the uncertainty which pre-
vailed there would result disastrous
ly to other banks and business In
terests. The action of certain citi-
gems Immediately after the dissolu-
tion OF the grand Jury justified fully
my expectations and shows that
cheap partisan politics were the i'm
pelling motive behind the g'and jury

of the depositors and the commercial

tirely forgotten.
Christopher Justified.
THE action of Judge Christopher,
while undoubtedly justified by law,
seems to have added to the confu-
sion. Every lawyer familiar with
the facts knows that the Christopher
grand jury was Illegally constituted
and that its acts would be void and
after these facts were discovered Its
only purpose was TO prevent reor-
ganization of the bank and add to
the difficulties anu uncertainties OF
lllt blNudNlpHs
'The attorney-general was also d.
rected to prosecute every person who
had violated the state banking law
as we'll as every other law and no
immunity was authorized to be given
any person. AS a result OF this or

early reorganization of the failed
