stone, and II will by chemical analysis
seperate the one quart OF Ridgewood
water from the few honest drops oil
cows milk, and It will throw out the
live animalcules from the brown sugar.
There has been 30 much collaboration
of articles OF food that 1t Is an amaze
ment to me that there Is healthy man
or woman in America. Heaven only
knows what they put into the spices and
into the sugars and into the butter and
into the apOthecary drug. But cbemi'
cal analysis and the microscope have
made wonderful revelations.
The board OF health in Massachusetts,
analysed agreat amount OF what was
called pure coffee and found in it not
one particle OF coffee. In England
there is q law that forbids the putting
OF alum in bread. The public authori-
examined fifty-one packages OF bread
and found them all guilty. The honest
physician, writing prescription, does
not know but that it may bring death
instead Of health TO his patient, because
there may be one Of the drugs weakened
by q cheaper article and another drug
may be in full force and so the prescrip-
ton may have just the opposite effect
intended. Oil Of NORWOOD warranted
pure from Boston was found to have Al
per cent OF resin and alcohol and chl0r-
ofOrm. Scanmony Is one Of the most
valuable medical drugs. 1t Is very
rare, very precious. It is the sap or
the gum OF tree or bush in Syria. The
root OF the tree Is exposed, an incision
is made into the root and then shells
are placed at this. incision to catch the
sap or gum as it exudes. 1t is very
precious, this scamm0ny. But the
peasant mixes 1t with cheaper material;
then it is taken to Alepp0, and the
merchant there mixes it with cheap
err material; then it comOs on to the
wholesale druggist in London or New
York, he and mixes it with cheaper
material: then it comes to the retail
druggist. and he mixes it with cheap
err material, and by the time the poor
sick man gets it into his bottle, it is
ashes and chalk and sand, and some oil
what has been called pure scammony
after analysis has been found to be nc
scammony at all. II.
Now, practical religion will yet recti'
fy all this. It will go TO these
hypocritical professors OF religion who
got corner" in corn and wheat In
Chicago and New York, sending prices
up and up until they were beyond the
reach Of the poor, keeping these bread
stuff in their own hands, or controlling
them until the prices going up and W
and up, they were, after awhile, ready
to sell, and they sold out, making them
selves millionaires in one or two years
trying to fix the matter up with the
Lord by building o church or university
or q notwithstanding themselves
with the idea that the Lord would bt
so pleased with the gift He would for
get the swindle.
Now. as such o man may not have
any liturgy in which to say his prayers
l will compose for him one which he
practically is making: 20 Lord, we by
getting a Corner in breadstuffs swindled
the people OF the United states out o.
$40, 0OO, 900 and made suffering all VI
and down the land and we would like
to compromise this matter with Thee
Thou knowest it was scaly job, but ther
it was smart. Now, here we compromise
it. Take per cent Of the profits and
with that per cent you can build ar
asylum for these poor miserable raga'
mullins OF the street and I will take 9
yacht and go to Europe, forever and
ever. Amenr'
All! nv friends, if o man has gotten
his estate wrongfully and he built line
of hospitals and universities from here
to Alaska, he can not atone for it.
After q while this man who has been
getting ''corner" in wheat dies and
then Satan gets ''corner" on him. He
goes into q great, long black Friday.
There is q ''break" in the market.
According to Wall street parlancee,
he wiped others out and now he is
himself wiped out. No collaterals on
which to make spiritual loan. Eter'
nal defalcation.
But this practical religion not only
rectify all merchandise, It will also re-
citify all mechanism and all toll. A
time will come when man will work as
faithfully by the job as he does by the
day. You say when thing Is slight
ingly done: 80, that was done by the
lob" You can tell by the swiftness or
slowness with which hackman drives
whether he Is hired by the hour or by
the excursion. II he Is hired by the
excursion he whips up his horses, 80 as
| to get around and get another customer.
All styles Of work have to be inspected;
ships Inspected, houses inspected, ma
chinery inspected. Boss to watch the
iourneyman. Capitalist coming down
unexpectedly to watch the boss. Con-
ductor of o city car sounding the punch
bell to prove his honesty, as q passenger
hands him clipped nickel.
FAR TOO LITTLE DONE RIGHT.
All things must be watched and inspect
ed. Imperiections in the wood covered
with putty. Garments warranted to
last until you put them on the third
time. Shoddy in all kinds OF clothing.
