RENSSELAER JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA. FRIDAY JUNE 1« 1886.

Health Hints.

Milk contains all that is required by the body, and the proportion of mineral matters, is less irritating than other foods and better digested. Everyone should keep a bottle ready of equal parts of strong lime-water and sweet oil shaken together to use on burns aud scalds, or for chapped hands. Frozen oranges are regarded as the cause of some recent sickness at Palatka, Fla. The Herald of that place says the poison in the peel is driven into the orange by the frost. An experienced vocalist has, it is said, during fourteen years cured any number of cases of obstinate cough by prescribing the free use of oysters as a diet. The remedy is easily tried. Distressing palpitation, says the Medical World , may generally be relieved by bending double, the head down and hands hanging so as to produce a congestion of the upper part of the body. Cures of sciatica are reported as having taken place in Paris after a single application of Dr. Debove’s method of freezing the skin above the painful parts with a spray of chloride of methyl. The operation is said to be applicable also to facial neuralgia.— N. Y. Sun. According to Gen. Morin, the eminent French expert, the proper temperature in well-ventilated places is as follows: Nurseries, asylums and schools, 69 degrees; workshops, barracks and prisons,s9 degrees; hospitals 61 to 64 deSrees. In dwellings in this country it as been the custom to keep the temperature at 65 to 70 degrees. —Chicago Journal. Doctors say that women should be cautious how they call to offer sympathy to neighbors having sick children. Women’s clothing offers inducements to fugitive bacteria, and several instances have been recorded lately in which contagious diseases are known to have been brought about by germs carried into the household in the folds of heavy woollen fabrics. In a study upon the nature of hypnotics, M. Dujarnin Beaumetz concludes that opium and its alkaloids do not produce a condition of sleep. They stupefy the faculties and induce torpor, but the brain still remains in a condition of tonic excitement. Chloral will bring about true sleep, but in large doses it has a dangerous action on the heart, aud its ingestion often gives rise to gastric disorders.

The Sanitarian gives some sensible advice about the teeth. It says: Toothbrushes should always be soft and rarely used more than once daily, before breakfast, which is quite often enough to remove the insoluble particles of food which collect at the margin of the teeth. Use the soft brush with water only, pint most, with nothing else but pure soap in addition. Soap is not only more cleansing than anything else, but it leaves a sweeter and pleasanter taste, and is never followed by injurious effects. A writer in the People's Health Journal tells of a debilitated patient who did not do at all well on beef tea, but was easily restored to health on a diet of bean soup. The only remarkable thing about this is that the patient ever expected to derive strength and nourish* ment from beef tea alone. Considering that we have upwards of a hundred thousand doctors, and that a Very large of them are fully agreed that ea is almost valueless, except as a stimulant, it is surprising that people continue to look upon it as a food. Pork is good for nervous people, but is not easily digested. Wild game is excellent. Fishls good for nervous people. Eggs boiled .lust enough to harden the white ate easily digested. It is a mistake about people eating too much. The majority do not eat enough. Nervous dyspepsia comes from working too hard and not eating enough. When a man begins to suffer from overwork he should eat plenty of good bread and butter, drink two quarts of milk a day, and eat plenty of good meat When such a person resorts to a vegetable diet he grows weaker and loses his nerve power-*-

READ, REASON and REELECT.

Indianapolis Sentinel: The Democratic party went into power as a party of reform. But little over a year has elapsed since the executive function has been exercised by a Democrat. Abuses created in a quarter of a century, by a strongly entrenched party, and exerting its power in an era of prodigious expenditure, has reached enormous proportions, and many of them became so intertwined with legitimate enterprises as to be difficult to separate. With an enormous xpenditure, political offices, from becoming posts of honor and pnblic trust, became valuable for the opportunities they give for the acquirement of wealth, and from being the creation of the people became the prize of the one who would use money the most lavishly, and so gradually passed out of popular control. Public property, instead of being reserved for public use, was squandered, given away with the lavish hand of a gambler who throws away the treasure he controls but did not acquire. Syndicates of capital were allowed to take whatever public property that suited them. Valuable franchises were sold to corporations, and bribes secured that official indifference that won what could not be secured in open debate. Syndicates for controlling the products of the country were found. Banks were given powers belonging to the government. Corporations were favored with enormous loans, and a political pollution scarcely eqnalled in the most dissolute periods was reeking the social atmosphere of the nation.

It was under such conditions that the Democracy went into po ver as the party of reform, and this power was so diluted by the senatorial’obstruction that its work wns unavoidably hampered. But that it has not been false to its pledges the result in a little more than one year gives gratifying evidence. — That it has not done more is due to their prodigious quantity and the difficulties of their removal, and also to the opposition of the Republican party that yet controls the strong hold of monopoly—the Senate. That there also has been impatience was natural to people who felt the effects of those profound abuses, without understanding the enormous difficulties involved in their removal. Mr. Cleveland ha proven one thing, and that is his honesty. He has stood like a wall between tl e assaults of his enemies, the mistakes of his friends, on the pledges upon which he took his office. And the doubts that obscured him from the public vision are clearing away, as one after another of the abuses are attacked and destroyed, and great corporations and individuals are compelled to respect the law along with the humblest citizen.

Nearly 60, 000,000 acres of public lands have been reclaim'd, and suits are entered upon twine fes much more. The rottenest haVv in the world is being renovated, out of less money than formerly served to keep it in a state of decay. The public debt has been reduced by more than a twentieth of its volume. Economy in the management of public money has enabled the Administration to hasten new wUT ships, improve docks, pay its expenses and Interest withont halting a moment in the payment of its debt, and without disturbing the gtoat reserve that maybe applied to public Works, naval constirutiKdn and debt paying.

has become impatient It hoped to see the enormous load liftedpruin ediately, and because this was impossible became despondent.— Many did not reflect that years would be required to effect the necessary change. Yet how unreasonable this spirit is may be seen in the great change effected in a single year. It may also be seen how great is the necessity for harmony and unity of purpose aud leadership in order to complete the work so well begun. Tnat the enormous aggregation of the party should, after long absence from power, confronted by evils of long growth and great dimension, be absolutely free from errors of misunderetanding and fail to generate here and there little animosities, would be a curious anomally.— 3uch are common to all organizations whatever, they are the accidents tkat can neither be forseen nor prevented. Neither do they affect the great momentum of events, that goes on without those who can not accommodate themselves to it. The momentum of the Democratic party will not be lessened by the petty quarrels, grown out of merely individual Those who foster ihem will find they have few sympathizers, and few r who can understand the petty cause that led them, and which are nearly always of the most individual nature. — Cool after-thought will convince the most recalcitrant, if they be honest, of the folly of discord and the necessity of harmony- that success of the w ole is more essential than success of the individual—that principles are superior to ambitions.

The Workmen Talk Tariff—--A Republican Journal Surprised.

Pennsylvania is the protectionist State, and Philadelphia the protectionist city, par excellence of America. Therefore, when the workmen of Philadelphia proceed, as forty thous nd of them have done, to memorialize Congress for a revision of the tariff, : t is high time that political parties began to consider the flap-doodle and sound sense as article of mental diet. The workmen have been told for many years that protection was the cause of high wages. It never was, though many good people believed it to be so. Neither high nor low tariffs affect wages. Wages were very high in America because there was more work to do than there were workmen to do it; they are now lower because the quantity of work is not in excess of the number of workmen. The indirect effect of tariff reform would be to increase the rate of wages, or at any rate to prevent further decrease, by extending the scope of markets and thereby increasing, the demand for labor. Its direct influence on the price of labor would be just nothing at all. All oljher conditions beiug equal, the price of labor has been lower in countries which have high protective tariffs than in those which have low tariffs. Wages are higher in free trade England than in protected Germany or France. But they are also; in some eases at least, lower in protected Ameriea, than in free trade England. It has long been known that America* wages in unprotected industries Were higher than in protected ones, ana that under our SWgktfin of protection wages were lifting as steadily as they were rising in countries whose tariff laws Were sueh as to make open markets, but the evidence offered by 40,000 workmen of Philadelphia in proof that American textile labor had fallen to the English price is in the nature of a surprise.— Indianapolis Times.

Quinine. —Some years ago when the tariff on quinine was removed the protectionists made merry because the price did not immediately decline. Its manufacture in this country was a monopoly enjoyed by one Philadelphia firm, and its price ranged between $4 and $3 an ounce. While the Philadelphia concern was amassing a great fortune and contributing liberally to Republican campaign funds, the ague-smitten people of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys were slowly getting the r eyes open to the fact that the tariff, ostensibly levied to protect an “infant industry,” was making a remedy which should have been plenty and cheap unnaturally scarce and dear, and they agitat d for the removal of the import tax. Their demand was so just and the monopoly against which they complained was so outrageous that even the pigiron men could not resist their appeal, and the tariff on quinine was removed. .At first there was no decline in the price end this fact was cited as proof that tariffs do not increase the cost to consumers of the necessaries of life, but in the course of time the monopoly began to sag in the middle and since then the tendency of the quinine market has been downward. A dispatch fre m New York notes the fact that transactions have recently occurred there on the basis of 53 cents an ounce.— The Philadelphia concern is still in the business.—Chicago Herald

Legal Enterprise in Dakota. —“I sent you an account of $25 for collection,” said a man coming into the office of a Dakota lawyer. “Yes, you did.” “What success have you had?” “Sued him last week and got it.” “That’s good. Give mo the money and tell me the amount of your fees and I will pav you.” “My fees are 50. I have given you credit for the $25 collectedpay me another $25 end we’ll be square.” “What!” gasped the nian, “I don’t see where I make anything by collecting the debt.” “Nothing, my dear sir, from a money point of view, but you have the satisfaction of knowing that a dishonest man has been brought to justice! You can use your own pleasure about paying that $25 now; I took the precaution to commence suit against you for the amount this morning.”—Estelline Bell
