family which Is really miffeiing for
thu want of fuel.
"We will certainly carry out his or
ders , " says Mr. SalU-r , "but It really
Is a hard task placed in our hands ,
for the reason that there will be some
ditriculty in determining which famil
ies are in real need of this coal.

several families have been suffering
for want of fowl and fuel , there have

noted medico from the e-ast or possib

Starting with the "common cold. '
which was declared by Dr. Peters tc
l > e ns important as any e > ther ailment
the e-hest diseases were maintained
as the * general topic of discussion.
Have a Cold ? Stop Kissing.
If you have a cold in the head stoi
kissing ; sleep alone ; use individua'
towls ; don't fondle children and stoi
overeating , are just a few of the words
of advice handed out by Dr. Peters
who in his paper on "Common Colds'
declared that the average individua
time lost in Uoston in one year was
over six months , just from "commoi
colds. "
"The cold in the head has beei
gmssly neglected , " said llr. Peters
"Then1 are many cures for this ail
ment. I tell my patients not to hlov
the'ir noses. If they must do it , I tcl
them to do it as little as possible. '
The blowing of the nose in case of 1
cold in the head brings on too mucl
pressure. "Let the glands rest ane
become normal , " he says.
Dr. A. C. Stokes , of Omaha , tin
newly elected president , talked on al
kinds of operations for lung trouble
Dr. A. Sachs of Omaha does not en
courage the use of antitoxin in bron
chial asthma , on which subject ho rcae

clan , do not suffer from it whei
aiound dogs , cats and other animals

diseased tonsils and declared that IK
has seen a number of cases where pa
tients have retuined after an opera
tlon for tonsils and reported tha
the- tonsils which were Bupposed t <
have been removed , had returned. Dr
Patton pre'fers the use of etner t <
chloroform in operations for tonsils
Some physicians , ho said , use theli
lingers or a specially made knife t <
remove them , but ho used scissors
The removing of tonsils from the
throats of singers , ho declared , woule ;
not affect the voice of the singer.
Dr. F. A. Long of Madison talked ot
"Knrpyena , " and for operations foi
this disease ho declared' chloroforn
was best as an anesthetic.
"DeformiMes of * he Chest , " waa f
subject on which H. W. Orr of Lin
coin and .1. P. Lord , of Oranha , hae :
papers.
A. P. Overgaard of Fremont , G. W

mcnts Dr. Banister of Omaha , for thlr
ty-one years United States army sur
on , and for a number of years in
charge of the First reserve hospital
in Manila , P. I. , declared that array
surgeons very seldom operate for rifle
bullet wounds in the chest.
Dr. Banifter declared also In regard
to secondary operations of tonsils ,
that he could not understand why
parts of a diseased tonsil were al
lowed to remain at all. He declared
it was safer to remove the entire ton
sil than to leave half of it in the
throat He cited the operations for
kidneys , declaring that when operat
ing on kidneys half of them'are not
removed and half left remaining.

A SENSATION IN IRELAND , J
Threat of Unionists Against Churchill
Causes Caustic Comment.
Dublin , Ireland , Jan. 17. The threat
of the Ulster unionists to prevent the
holding of a meeting at Belfast on
Feb. 8 , at which Winston Spencer
Churchill , first lord of the admiralty ,
and John Redmond , leader of the
Irish nationalists in the house ) of com
mons , are announced to speak la be
half of home rule , caused a sensation
in politics.
The nationalist newspapers gener
ally make caustic comment on the un
ionist threat. The Dublin Independent
says the unionists are allowed to
speak In Dublin without fear of moles
tation , while the Freeman's Journal
says that the Belfast dye hands are
out against Mr. Churchill , whose de
partment provides the inhabitants of
the city with much of their occupation ,
and that the men of Belfast are to bo
goaded into outrage against the chief
of their industry. The chief referred
to , Ix > rd Plerrle , who is chairman of
the Harland & Wolff Ship Building :
company , is a recent convert to honu
rule.
During a union meeting in Belfast
ast evening , recruits were called forte
to form a volunteer police force. The *
proposer said if trouble came they in
Belfast wished to be independent of
the Dublin police. The nationalists
arc somewhat handicapped in the home
rule campaign. John Reulmond is still
aid up and may not be out for several
weeks , while Joseph Devlin , member
of parliament for the western division
of Belfast , his chief lieutenant , has
been ill for ten days.
For National Suffrage Law.
Washington , Jan. 17. A constltu-
.lonol amendment for woman's suf-
rage ; was introduces ! by Representa
tive Berger of Wisconsin. A great
petition is now being circulated by
he socialist party and Representative
) ergor declared that a million petl-
loners would enroll in favor of votes
'or ' women when the petition is pre
sented to congress.
Eight Mllltla Companies There.
Lawrence , Mass. , Jan. 17. Increased
numbers of mill operatives went to
, vork today In security guaranteed by
ho continued presence in the mill dis-
rlct of the eight companies of state *
nllltia. There were slight disturb-
nces at two small mills , hut no actual
lashes between troops and the strik
ing employes.
