"TICK BITE" CASE ENDS.
Celebrated Insurance Controversy
Is Compromised.
Momph's Tenn Dec. 31. The
suit of the widow of Joel G. Webb
in the Federal court known as the
"tick bite' case; against two insur-
ance companies for $5000 each
was compromised today by the
companies agreeing to jointly pay
the sum of $6000.
Webb held accident policies for
$5000 etch in two accident insur-
iance companies. A little more
spector Jorden issued a ceartificato than a year ago Webb was bitten

LEMON JUICE FOR

New York Dec. 31. Dr Ernest
G. Lederle president of il- Health
Department referring V- the dis-
covery said to have been m ule re
cently in England that leu. on juice
would kill typhoid gem- in writer.
and to have been proved l.y exper
iments in Chicago sa s be knows
these experiments have been tried
often before and that many physi-
ians treat their typhoid patients
with lemon juice. Dr. W. II Bil-
lings a bacteriologist of the depart-
ment said:
"I haven't made any experiments
myself but I am sure that lemon
juice in water wilL kill germs if
enough is used. Orange juice" will
do the same thing and in fact wc
have been feeding patients that way
right along. There is nothing new
in this discovery of lemon juice. It
takes more orange juice than lemon
juice because the former has not so
much citric acid in it and et it is
a powerful neutralizes There is
no doubt that acid will kill typhoid
ger.ns."
TRUNKS TRANSFERRED
BY "WIRE.
If everything goes as Stophea
Fowler of London desires and
American railroads adopt- his
scheme 'the profane picturesque
Yankee baggage smasher will pass
into history and the trunk pf th
traveler will stand a fighting chance
with an hydraulic conveyor. Mr.
Fowler said: "The London and
Southwestern has recently put in
operation an aerial transmitter.
Iron towers have been erected and
from each run four cables. These
are placed along the tracks and run
into the station. Attached to the
transmitter is a cage in which the
trunk is deposited. The baggage-
agent puts a trunk in the cage pulls
a lever and in a minute the trunk
is by the baggage car ready to be
taken in. The principle is that of
the merchandise carriers in Ameri-
can dry goods stores." New York
Tribune.
An example of the pitfalls which
beset those who would or must
write is given by the Macon (Ga.)
Tclegpraph as follows: ' An ad-
mirer once wrote to the poet Lowell
concluding his letter thus: 'I
would be much obliged for your. au-
tograph.' In replying the poet is
said to havo written. 'Pray do not
say hereafter "I would be obli-r.-d0.
if you would be obliged be ub'iged
and be done with it; say I should
bo obliged" and oblige yours truly.
James Russell Lowell."' Another
critic might then have stepped irt
to tell Mr. Lowell that he was quite
right an to .'should' instead o
would' but that he also fell into
a pitfall for the unwarv when he
said 'be done with it' instead of
have done with it.' He is a rare and
extremely watchful'writcr who will
not sin at least occasionally though
perhaps mildly against the ac-
cepted standards of English."'

great excitement here.
SAFETY MATCHES NOT SAFE.
In the investigation of the New
Ycrrk fire department as to the- pos-
sibility of finding a safe match it
was concluded that the so-called
"safety match" required by the re-
cent fire law of that city is ne safer
than the parlor match which the
law proh bits. Tie Scientific Amer-
ican suggests that inventors gr to
work on ;h is problem.
