Mrs. Hughes, and her later years were
rejoiced with its prosperity Her

About Returning Soldiers
There has been much apparent, nn.
certainty among the people at largo
as to wli.it -i to be done by the gov
eifciiieht for soldiers disclmrgcd from
service. To clear up any misunder
standing tlio following dellnltt stattv
inentsiuc given out by the Council of
National Uofcnse at Washington;
1. Knoll 'discharged soldier will be
given one month'- pay.
'J. Kach will be given an allowance
of three aud a half cents a tulle from
the point of denioli;y.ution to his homo
town.
:$. Kavsli will be enabled t buy a
railroad ticket from the point of de
luolnlizitiou to his home town by the
most direct route at a cost of two
cents a mile.
I The demobilization of each unit
will occur at the army camp nearest
the homo section of a majority of the
men of the unit.
Thi information is ollicial and fam
ilies of soldiers should be guided by it
in arranging to look after ivturniiig
inon.
Onions as Medicine
Hot onions according to a Fronch
physician, arc -aid to be a sinecure
for pneumonia. The remedy is as fol
lows: Take six or ten onions, accord.
Ing to size; and chop tine; put them in
a largo pan over lire, then add the
same quantity of ryu meal and vine
gar enough to unite a thick paste,
Stir it thoroughly, lotting it simmer
for live or ten miuuteb. Then ptmr in
to a cotton bag large enough to cover
the lungs and apply to chest, as hot as
patient can bear it. In about ton
minutes apply another and thus con
tinue byreheating tlio poultices and in
n few hours tho patient will be out of
danger. This simple remedy has
never failud to cure this too often
fatal disease. Ufiiially three or four
applications will be sulUcieiit.
if you have any doubts about tills
ask your grandmother, or any grand
mother whose glilhood was In the cen
tury back of the present one. It's,
sure good. Tho Only caution neces
sary is to see that tho patient Is not
exposed to even a slight chill for some
time after recovery is under way. For
any case of severe cold simple appli
cation of warm sliced ontuns is equally
ollk'rtclous The pores are opened and
skin made sensitive by the application,
lieuce the necessity for extra care
agaliibt exposure to chill.
