WO BOYS, neither of them yet twenty, are under indictment tor the confessed murder of a Fulton Street stationer who had been their employer and from whom both admit they received nothing but kindness. The elder of these boys, who weither father nor mother and who has spent most of pineteen years in a State Home and School in Rhode Island, told police that the only real pleasure he had ever had in his whole ife was when he played in a band in the institution where he was yea of desolate youth could hardly be more simply and revealed.

SPECIAL feature of the report relating to train despatching is of interest. The first instal- lation of telephone and selector equip- ment for train despatching was com- pleted on the lines of the New York Central Railroad in October, 1907. The use of the telephone for this pur- pose has increased rapidly. The re- port shows for 1917 105 lines employ- ing this method of train despatcbing, os against 42 in 1912. The mileage of telephone polé line for train despatch- ing purposes was 95,268, an increase of 67.6 per cent. as compared with 1912; and the mileage of wire was 201,662, an increase of 65.7 per cent. over 1912, The total line mileage of railroads reporting the use of t in 1917 amounted to 110,404, It is as- “Oh, for goodness sake!" said Miss ‘Tillie, grinning, “Did you get that?” “I did,” enaried Papple, “and I went serted that not a single accident has ia [\QOUZID« What to Do Until.

As a rule there is at first general discomfort, eructations (belchings), a feeling of intense nausea (sick stomach), This is fol- lowed with abdominal pain, vomiting, chills, cramps in the legs and feet, | severe prostr:.tion, collapse. The severity of an attack is some- | times greater in those who havo par- taken least of tainted food. In some cases. intense yomiting and diarrhoea and severe colic attest to the violence of an intense gastro-intestinal pol- soning. The symptoms vary in different per- sons and in outbreaks, but when an entire family or an aggregation of people such as assemble at pienics or church festivals are strickén collec- tively the symptoms in all are usually similar, except that some are less and some are more susceptible to the action of the exciting cause. In some instances of food polson- ing the onset is very much delayed and this may give rise to suspicion as to the cause of the attack. No time should be lost in procuring med- cal aid; meanwhile nature is doing all ghe can to throw off the poison by self-vomiting and purging. The treatment then lies entirely in as- sisting nature to eliminate the toxic Products. For this purpose quanti- ties of hot water should be fed the patient, preferably containing a suffi- cient amount of mustard to further facilitate vomiting.

By flushing the system in the man-’ ner outlined, combating cramps with cutaneous ‘stimulation, keeping up the body temperature, the patient will usually respond before the ac- rival of the doctor. When the urgent symptoms have subsided give cracked ice and whis- key to support the flagging energies. Remember that the patient is very ill indeed, therefore, be careful to give small bits of ice about the size of a cherry and introduce these: with a little whiskey into thepatient’s mouth with a ‘spoon. Inexperienced persons are often very thoughtless and heediess in small matters; the comfort and life of «n= other depends on the proper obser.a- tion of little things, which, however, are of great significance, By Roy L. OME call it “a bolled dinner,” and iS 4 rose by any other name would be more appreciated by the neighbors, In fact, the Jarr family were partaking of—yes, right in sum- mer time, too—of that arrogantly fragrant and substantial dish—corned beef and cabbage for dinner. The table and the neighbors fairly groaned with the viand. “I tell you there's nothing like a dinner that sticks to the ribs!” re- marked Mr. Jarr as he reached for the mustard. At this point Master Jarr dropped his plate and knife on the floor and rs. Jérr gave relief to her feelings by imparting @ resounding slap to the careless young gentleman. “I don't want any cabbage,” said the little Jarr girl; “I don't like it!” “You'll eat what's set before you,” declared the maternal disciplinarian. “If you don't eat your cabbage you can't have any cake.” There was no cake and the little girl knew it, There was cold tice pudding, which was not very popular with the little Miss Jarr, So she pushed away her ptate. “Don't worry about the child,” said Mr, Jarr. “There you go!” exclaimed Mrs. Jarr, “What good does it do for me to try to correct the children when you uphold them in everything they do?” “Oh, cheer up, my déar, and get some joy out of life.” “Well, I'd be habny enough if ~ou wouldn't upholu -.e childreh and en- courage them,” remarked Mrs, Jarr. “Look!” exclaimed Master Jur, “mma has spilled the salt.” “That's the sign of a fight,” whim- pered Mré. Jarr. “You naughty, care- less girl, you should be more care- ful at the table. Hold out your hand till I smack it,” But the, little girl put her hands behind her and commenced to cry, “She'll be good. It was an acci- dent,” said Mr. Jarr, And then, seeing her mother had no intention of apply- ing the o6rrection she had threatened, the little girl took heart and brought her hands into view, “Look at your handa,” exclaimed The Jarr Family Copyright, 1919, by The Press Publishing Co.

Noting ‘this, Mrs, Jarr insisted om! inspecting them, They were as small boys’ hands generally are. But Mrs. Jarr evinced ' surprise as well as indignation. “Both of you children leave the table and wash your hands!” she cried. After they were gone Mra Jarr remarked again that the children ; would behave themselves if Mr. Jarr did not encourage them both in such things, “I don’t see why it is our children should be different from other chile dren,” ventured Mr. Jarr, “I used ta forget to wash my hands when I was @ child.” “The Briskett children never come to the table with dirty hands,” sata Mrs. Jarr, “They eat in the nursery with the nursery governess and they are as neat as wax.” “And they look like wax,” said My, Jarr, “What's the use of haying chile dren if they eat in the nursery? r I could afford it | wouldn't have « nursery,” “Edward Jarr!” she cried. “Look at your hands!” “It's only a Uttle ink,” mumblet Mr. Jarr, “Honest, it's only mk” But he arose abayhed and joined the Children at their ablutions. “Bring me a finger bow!
