To Cure q FelOn.

DR.. John T. Metcalf says in Boston Medi-
cal and Surgical Journal: In 1889 learned
that felon could, if seen early enough, be
made to abort by wrapping the finger end
with narrow strips of adhesive plaster When
pus has been formed, l learned twenty years
ago, from country doctor, that immediate
relief and speedy cure would follow the
gentle slow separation of the nail from its
envelope by means of penknife blade, not
too sharp, at the point nearest the seat of
greatest pain Very soon drop of pus shows
itself, and relief comes. l am aware that
the plan described is known to many medical
men.

nance, peculiarly appropriate to this

Leonore, or, His Grave Kept Green"
In the same paper will also be found a

Maine's Account.
Lewiston .JournaI1

"Why, gentlemen, everything that comes into
Maine Is taxed two or three times more than il
was under the old revenue tariff. But the aver
age tax OF this tariff of today the products of
Maine is not so much as under the revenue tariff
OF lS46"-Candidate Putnam at Bangor.
By tax" Mr.. Putnam means duty" The
duty imposed by the tariff of 1876 on lumber
was the same as now, from 10 to 20 per cent.
the duty on wool was 30 per cent, and under
the present tariff is about 40 per cent. the
duty on farm products and lime was the same
as now; the duty on cotton and wooden
goods, of which we manufacture much more
than we use, was 10 per cent. less than now,
and the duty on boots and shoes the same.
So much for Mr.. Putnam's statement that
the duties which protected Maine products
were more under the tariff of 1876 than now
but what the duties of 1916 were is of little
on'equence. What is of immediate interest
Is what are the duties that the Democrats on
the one hand and the Republicans on the
other propose now. Please compare these,
Mr. Putnam, and then balance Names ac-
count
Inc Mlils (Democratic) bill proposes to
protect Maine products by placing wool
manufactured lumber of all kinds all of
Maine farm products except potatoes bricks
bags and undressed granite on tho froo list
as well as by reducing duties on other arfi'' i'
cles. Lime is to have duty of a little less
than 5 cents per cask and Canadian fish pTe. rTss
served in ice and by artificial freezing are to
come ID Tree Of duty. Iron materials for
per cent. duty. but another bill reported nv Nv

small a proportion of our consumption Is
made in this country that the price here is
the foreign cost plus the duty.
ON the other hand the Republican protec-
tion bin. as indicated by the votes of Repub--
licans in the House and as already formulated
nv the Senate, proposes to retain the present
40 per cent. duty on clothing wool, and the
present duty of 20 per cent. on manufactured
lumber and farm products, and the present
duty on bricks, bags and undressed granite;
to thoroughly protect our cotton and woolen
industries to make the duty on lime 10 cents
per cask; TO impose duty on Canadian fish
preserved by ice or an other preservatiye
process to admit free of duty the chief iron
materials needed for the construction Of iron
vessels for the foreign trade; and to retain
the present law requiring American regis
tered vessels to be built in this country. And
at the same time the Republican tariff bill
win reduce the duty on rice and sugar to Al
per cent-instead Of the 6S and 100 per cent
Of the Mills bill.
Now If Candidate Putnam, in his next
speech, can spend time to discuss the two
tariff measures on which the people Of Maine
will pronounce verdict in September and
November, the people will find 1t much more
interesting and important than going back
to the tariff of 1885,.

Nutritious Baking Powders.
BY PROF. DoREMUs, of Bellevue Medical
College, N. Y.


1t is serious problem for the physiologi-
cal chemist to discover the best method Of
supplying the human system. especially an
exhausted one, with the requisite amount of
phosphate food for the organism to remain
in health. The phosphate salts are never
wanting IN the:most nourishing varieties Of
food, whether vegetable or animal. They
are closely allied to all the vital functions,
are constantly being eliminated from the
body, and must be replaced by fresh sup
ply. The testimony of thousands goes to
show that under the prevalent conditions
and habits of American life, there are few
who are not greatly benefited when they
partakc of these same phosphates as restora-
tive agents. The sales of phosphate prepa-
rations for medicinal use, or as mild tonic,
have assumed enormous proportions.
On April 22nd, 1856. Prof E. N. Horsford
secured his letters patent for the manufac-
ture and use of an acid phosphate of lime to
be Incorporated with starch and bicarbonate
of soda, and thus serve as baking powder.
This is the first instance in which, besides
acting as an aerating agent, baking powder
was to add nutritive elements to the bread.
Phosphate powders are today the sole ex-
empli6cation OF this important principle.
The natural phosphates removed from the
grain in the process of bolting the flour are
by Horsford's method RESTORED through the
baking powder. While the residues which
all baking powders leave, except those which
consist of salts which volatalize completely
nnder the heat of the baking oven, are of a
nature which makes it maTIeI of doubt
whether they should be introduced into the
sGsff@,ui in case -nt the nhosnhatic nowders
foreign to the -four, but composed of the
same salts, practically, which form the ash
of the cereal grains Scientific american.
The Old Reliable ''Horsford's Bread Prep
aration" is made by Prof. Horsford's pro-
cess.
