SIMPLE TREATMENT
IN PNEUMONIA CASES

West Union Gazette: Owing to
the prevalence of pneumonia and
the great mortality which attends its
ravages during the winter and
spring, several boards of health in
northern New Jersey have been
taking measures to protect the citi-
zens of their towns from the disease.
The board of Washington, N. j.,
has published a remedy which is
said to be sure cure for pneumonia,
and other health boards are look
ing into the matter with a view of
having the same thing published
for the good of the general public.
This is the publication as it appear
ed in the papers of Washington:
Take six to ten onions, accord
ing to size, and chop fine, put in
large spider over a hot fire, then
add to the same quantity of rye meal
and vinegar enough to form thick
paste. In the meanwhile stir
thoroughly, letting it simmer five
or ten minutes. Then put in
cotton bag large enough to cover
he lungs and apply to chest as hot
Is patient can bear. In about ten
minutes apply another, and thus
continue by relocating the poultices,
md in few hours the patient
will be out of danger. This simple
remedy has never failed to cure
this too often fatal malady. Usu-
ally three or four applications vii
be sufficient, but continue always
until perspiration starts freely from
the chest. This remedy was formu-
lated many years ago by one of the
best physicians New England has
ever known, who never lost a patti
ent by the disease, and won his re-
known by simple remedies"

CHANGES IN TYPES
WESTERN FARMING

In its efforts to supply some prac-
teal remedies for the unfortunate
circumstances confronting various
branches of agricultural industry
the department of agriculture has
recently issued bulletin upon
changes in types of farming in the
United States. Of course, as re-
marked in this bulletin, types Of
farming are always undergoing
changes as farmers try to get more
out of their land and turn to more
profitable products. But some ex-
traordinary conditions are neces-
stating and bringing about changes
somewhat more extensive and abrupt
than usual.
For example, the low price of
wheat, due to overproduction, has
caused grain farmers in the West
to turn to other crops and, as stated
by the department, flax is one of
these. In the past year the acre
age of flax in the United States has
nearly doubled. Home production
still supplies only one-half of the
home demand, thus indicating that
there is still opportunity for expan-
sion in that direction. We have
imported flax every year since 1909,

DOUBLE TRACKING TO
BE ACTIVELY RESUMED

-Four extra gangs, employed by
the Southern Pacific company ON
the Salt Lake division for the past
several months, repairing sidings
ballasting track, and installing
double track, have been transferred
to the Tuscon division in Arizona, it
is reported, where they will engage
this winter in putting that division
of the railroad in shape.
The gangs will work in Tucson
throughout the winter months, and
will return to the Salt Lake division
next spring, according to the Elko
Independent, to resume work in
bringing the track on this division
to higher standard. It is reported
that there will be a considerable
amount of additional work accom-
plished in Nevada next spring. AL
though the company's plans have
not been announced, it is the gen.
eral belief that the S. P. is carry
ing construction program which,
when completed, will see double
track from Ogden to San Francisco.
The work of double tracking will
cover period of several years, it
is declared.
Rumors were circulated to the
effect that the Southern Pacific was
contemplating a double tracking
program when the report that the
W. P. and S. P. roads would CO.
operate between Winnemucca and
Wells.
1t is believed that if the proposed
cooperation between the Union Pa
cific company and the Western Pa
cifc company regarding the Wells
Rogerson road goes into effect, that
the Southern Pacific, to compete
with this new arrangement, will be
compelled to rush their double track
ing operations.
With an apparent fight among
railroads for business of the inter-
mountain country, it seems that Ger
rier service for Nevada..will be
better than at any other time in the
history of the State.

similar policy, pointing out that
there are very few sheep in that
state, whereas both climate and
feed production. made sheer hus-
bandry a very promising industry.
In the past year the farm price
of sheep has increased from $3.50
to $3.50 a head. The farm price
of wool has increased from an aver
age of 20 cents pound to 38 cents
a pound. One of the advantages of
sheep production is that the animal
furnishes food for the farmers
family, or it can be sold for meat in
the market, or its wool clipped and
sold for manufacturing purposes.
1t is common knowledge that
dairying is now one of the most
profitable branches of agriculture.
Although it is very combining oc-
cupation since the dairyman must
be at home regularly twice a day
and every day in the year, yet it
has the advantage of furnishing a
regular monthly income rather than
the annual income which is pro-
duced by the wheat farm. The de-
partment remarks upon the fact
that there has been a considerable
increase in dairying, particularly in
regions near populous cities. Every
acre of land turned from grain to
the production of food for dairy
cows means much relief for the
market for grain.
The department of Agriculture is
ready to supply bulletins giving in
formation regarding every branch
of agriculture.

and under the present tariff of 40
cents a bushel there is encourage
ment for American farmers to en-
deavor to supply the quantity we
are now buying from foreign pro-
ducers.
The departments bulletin also re-
marks what might have been expec-
ted to occur, that there has been a

Tor wool" Many people are ac-
customed to think of the sheep in
dustry as being represented almost
entirely by the immense bands of
sheep on the great unfenced plains
OF the West. The fact is, however.
that while two-thirds of our sheen
are raised in the west, one-third
is included in the small flocks kept
on cultivated farms. 1t has long
been known, in fact it was a teach
ing Of agriculturists before the
United States was founded, that
sheep husbandry furnishes the most
effective and economical method of
Keeping farm free from weeds
and maintaining its fertility. The
departments bulletin suggests that
many farmers who already have
sheep can increase their focks with
profit and that others who have not
already added sheep to their live
stock enterprises could wisely do SO.

Agriculture in Georgia advised a

To take care of the anticipated
increase in refrigerator car ship
ments next year, both the Western
Pacific and Pacific Fruit Express
companies which maintain icing
plants at Carlin, are making addi-
tons to their ice houses at the
present time. The Western Pacific
has just completed the addition of
another large room to their plant,
and the Pacific Fruit Express is
also adding additional space. A
new modern steam heated bungalow
and office for the agent of the
latter company is also being built to

ROBBERY |SCALLED

Burglars Hammer Off Steel Door Of Safe, Then Pry
 Open Inner Drawer
TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU THE AGE-HERALD Decatur Ala Oct


 Two or three cold chisels appar- sntly property of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company, and be- lieved to have been stolen from the local shops, provide the only clew left by the yeggman who Sunday night rifled the safe of the Piggly Wiggly store on Second avenue of approximately $500 in cash.
 The robbery was one of the most caring on police records here, offi- cers say. The robbers hammered off chisels to break into the cash drawer inside. They entered the store through the basement and tried to make their exit through a window in the rear of the first floor. A big desk baked them in this attempt and it is believed they went out the same way they came in. Police ex- pressed belief that the gang was composed of several persons. Two or more are thought to have been at work inside the store, while others stood watch Cn the outside. Police hold steadfaStly to the belief they will be able to round up the per perators of the robbery in the next few days.
 William c. Papenburg, manager of the store. declared this morning it seemed the thieves made their first offensive against the hinges of the Aafe, tearing them off, then taking what must have been & sledge ham rer and beating to pieces the combi- nation lock. Then with cold chisels the thieves cut the rivets that held the front safe door until the bushel or more of concrete in the door was removed, making it easy for the lock lever to become displayed.
