No doubt most readers of The Statesman noticed the communi-j
catiou in yesterday's Salem Slogan pages from C. Thiessen of Jeffer
son. A friend tells the writer that Mr. Thiessen is a man who is now
very well to do ; with a fine farm j. and that he paid for the farm with
money realized from the potatoes he raised and sold; and then some.
And Mr. Thiessen is not the only man in the Jefferson neighbor- I 9J22"1"

treated more than three (300) hun
dred cases without a death, is as fol
lows: Orange Juice: Cut an orange in
half and extract the juice, mix this
juice with a glass of cold water and
drink. Repeat every two or three
hours.
Internal Bath: Take a quart of
warm water, add a teaspoonful of
salt, allow it to dissolve, then use it
as an enema. If chills begin take
an enema, morning, noon and night,
and once a day thereafter.
Capsicum: Capsicum is ordinary
red pepper. Take one grain every
two hours during the chill stags.
Hot Foot Bath: During the early
stage, the patient sat on the bed
well covered with blankets, and the
feet soaked in hot mustard water for
five minutes at a time, several times
a day.
For Acidity: In some cases the
condition of the system was found
to be very acid. In these cases one

this used as an enema, but was re
tained instead of passed off.
Fain: In case there was severe
pain; especially over the back, hot
compresses were used if patient lived
in the country. If in the city clotTis
were wrung out of hot water, placed
over the area of pain and an electric
pad placed over the cloths and tept
on until' relief was obtained, then
sponged with cool water and covered

trio pad).
Abnormal Temperature: When
the temperature reached 103 or more
a tepid bath, followed by a rub, was
given. ,
Pnenmonia: The great fear of all
has been pneumonia, yet where this
very simple treatment was followed
there was not a single death.

A simple treatment but wholly effi
cient.
Cough: In cases where the sys
tem is sub-acid, a mixture of equal
parts of lemon juice and honey, well
mixed. A teaspoonful every hour or
two proves successful.
When the system is super-acid
equal parts of orange juice and hon
ey well mixed. A teaspoonful every
hour or two will bring similar re
sults.
Diet: With the very 'first symp
toms of the disease all solid foods
should be absolutely prohibited and
the diet limited to fruit juices, and
nothing but fruit juices.
As the temperature lowers, broths
may be given; 'these may be of meat
oatmeal, wheat, whole rice. etc.. but
no solid food until the system has
reached a normal temperature, then
the patient may be gradually started
with semi-solid food.
The above may be termed a drug
less treatment but it is certainly
safe, sane and sensible one. More
over, it Is one through which not

Be Careful What Yon
Wash Your Hair With
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which Is
very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsltled
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this Is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats anything else
an to pieces. You can get this at
any drug store, and a few ounces
will last the whole family for months
Simply moisten the hair with wa
ter and rub it in, about a teaspoon
ful is all that is required. It makes
an abundance of rich,' creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
venly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to
handle. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.

Keeping
Young
To keep ones faculties bright and alert is to remain young.
To maintain a buoyant spirit is 'another foe to age but
who can be at his best with bad vision?
Most of life's interest centers in the eyes most pleasures
come from exercising the eyes. '
Dimness Of Vision
means a clouding over of the brightness of life age creeps
quickly then.
Enthusiasm, optimism and all the youthful qualities that
accomplish things, fly before the chilling influence of indis
tinct vision.
Eyesight Unspoilt
means that the latter half of life is like a second and richer
youth. The faculties, matured by experience, are brought t
perfection, and the individual achieves the utmost that is in
him. i
Keep your sight unspoilt,' and of all things possible you
will have done the one most certain to contribute.
