and Mrs. Elizabeth Tunneli were joined in wedlock at the home of the fcride's daughter, Mrs. Alfred hillips, of Chincoteague. Their love began when they were children at Ocean View, Del. They had not seen each other since they parted fifty years ago until they met by chance recently.

If the burn is slight merely a surface blot sprinkle thickly with bicarbonate of soda, and tie tightly with a wet bandage. "When the pain has subsided, paint with flexible collodion, or, if this is not at hand, with the white of an egg. A more simplo remedy is to dust the burn thickly with flour and cover with a thick layer of cotton. If the burn is severe enough to have blistered or bursted the skin, flour should never be used, because it may introduce disease germs and it will form a crust which will be painful to remove. Carron oil one-half linseed oil and one-half lime water is good to use in this case, but pure olive oil or vaseline is.

as good, or perhaps better, because linseed oil sometimes contains impurities which irritate. A burn, especial ly if a deep one, should be held in a position to keep the skin straight which will help to prevent contraction of the skin and a scar. A doctor would treat acid burns as he does those by fire, first using an alkaline solution, as soda or ammonia. Each contains enough alkali to give temporary relief. Alkaline burns, such as lime or caustic potash, are also treated as are fire burns, except they, are first neutralized bv some acid, as vinegar or lemon juice.

In case of acid or alkali burns, however, unless an experienced person is at hand, it is best to plunge tne burned surface under running water. If too concentrated an alkali is ap plied to an acid burn, another serious burn may result. Kansas Indus trialist. Eggs as SToney in Arkansas. Fort Smith, Dec.

25. Slxtv prominent professional and business men, comprising doctors lawyers, clergymen and merchants, acted as street sweepers at Leeds. and gave a practical demonstration of the determination of the citizens of Leeds not to yield to the employes of the municipal services, who are on strike because the city would not grant what it considered the men's inordinate demands. The streets had not been swept nor the garbage cans emptied for ten days, so a citizens' league was- formed of volunteers will to keep the public works in operation. Many the volunteers drove to the place of assembly in their own automobiles at midnight.

They were soon equipped with brooms ani shovels and supplied with garbage trucks, and they worked steadily for six hours cleaning the streets under a police guard. Volleys of stones and pieces of metal thrown by the strikers greeted the volunteers at several points, but they stuck manfully to their task until 'the center of the city had been cleansed. Another body of private citizens at the same time manned the municipal gas, electric and water works. Th3 struggle is attracting considerable af-tention, as the municipal workers in other cities are known to be waiting to strike in case the employes in Leeds should be successful COUGH'S PHOTO FOR HER ALONE And winter the real brand of cold weather Is yet to come.
