Editorial
The medical department of The
Pill Box has received the following
important query: "I have a lump
on my off jaw as large as a quart
bucket. I look like a bull with the
lump jaw, only worse. What is it
and how can I get rid of it?" Hav
ing no medical department, the
matter was referred to the entire
editorial staff which by reason of
its wisdom is able to quickly sub
mit the following diagnosis: You
either have mumps or an ulcerated
tooth. If it is mumps don't worry
and if the other, flag a dentist and
dare him to do his worse. He will
sharpen his best auger, attach ten
horse of power, pry open your
mouth and commence boring.
Eventually he will strike bottom.
If the artesian flow that follows does
not bring all the liquid to the sur
face, he will put on a pair of rubber
boots and bail out the remainder.
Then after a bale of medicated cot
ton has been pounded in with a pile
driver, j'ou are cured.

rwnfiypdr bis name is 1916. He has
brought with him a beautiful 'cover
of white snow, to the blessing of the
fall sown grain and a joy to the
young and old by taking rides in
the long stored sleighs. It has been
over seven years since we have such
a fine winter, the snow is about 8
inches on the level. A good oppor
tunity for hauling wood. Say,
good readers, has any of your calves
the scowers? The writer lost one
for not knowing how to cure it. Mr.
Fox, of Meda, gave us a receipt for
the cure. Make a strong tea from
the roots of the Salile, it will check
the-scowers quick, then give a dose
of salts. He says that will save the
calf. ---Grande Ronde News in Mc
