Wring out a thick @ washcloth from cold water, put it around the neck, covered by a piece of flannel and a thick towel or oiled silk. There is no > danger in this” remedy if ome is sufficiently protected and the clothing is not allowed to get damp. This will also stop a hacking cough at night. A sore throat can also be ward- ed off by immediate gargling with salt water or some good antiseptic wash. Use a flat tea- spoonful of salt to a half pint of water. When there is tight- ness in the bronchial tubes or chest call a doctor, but if he is not to be had, rub well with turpentine and lard mixed, take a warm drink to induce pers- piration and keep in a room of even temperature. 4060000666 :'>@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 9990000000000 0000000 06 @ ® A DIFFERENCE.

Lawrence Philtips, who died at Hershey, Neb., a few days ago at the age of 106, attributed his longevity to the alcohol in three quarts of beer which he consumed every day.

On June 27 Utah votes on the question of state-wide county option. Texas votes on state-wide prohibi- tion July 22, 1911. Maine votes on the repeal .of the constitutional prohibition amend- ment in September, 1911.

A CHANCE FOR B.DDY: The Américan hen is to have an opportunity to distinguish herself. Problems of continent-wide -in- terest are to be solved at the first American Egg-laying Congress in Spokane, beginning next November and continuing 12 months. It is free and open to the world. Plans are to have at least two en- tries of six chickens each from every state.and territory in the Union and province in Canada, g Among other things this inform- ation is sought: Will 300 chickens average family? support. ‘an What- are the best for commer- cial eggs. 7 ‘What is the actual cost of pro- ducing eges?. What are the prime requisites. for successful egg-culture? What state, province or territory produces the best layers? John C. Lee, a former newspaper man, now a poultry rancher at Hill= yard, Wash,, who originated the con- gress idea, has submitted tentative plans to A. C. Ware, chairman of the poultry and game committee. of Spokane chamber of commerce, for formal discussion and action at the next monthly meeting of that body early in June. Y “This is not to be a competitive exposition for fancy breeds or feath- ers nor a money-making scheme,” Mr. Lee said, “but an educational affair in the best sense of the term. There will be no medals or cash prizes, though diplomas and ribbons may be awarded for the best prod- ucers. Primarily we are seeking ac- curate information on which is not now available through the regular channels. “Present plans are to set a tract of land near Spokane and erect the necesénry buildings for the care of the fowls. Experts will be placed in charge and a record kept of every pen, the money returns going to the owners. We believe we. can ac- complish good results here, as we have an even climate and none of the diseases common® to the chicken family, such as cholera and gapes.” —— O R R R O R R CROROS @ COMMUNICATIONS @ O R RO R R OROR R CROR ) To the Editor of the Pioneer: 1 notice in your issue of May 19 an article in which Gus.
