the employ of rival manufacturers (pos- sibly people inter- ested iu prepara- tioEs of cod liver oil), whose business has been injured by the meriteu popu- larity of Paskola. This suspicion is strengthened by the fact that the un- truthful reports as to the composition of Paskola have been widely circu- lated through the mails and other wise. Among the things the so-called 'chemists' have stated is that Pas kola was nothing but glucose and hy- drochloric acid, the ridiculousness of which assertion will be made clear by the following ex- periment:

w. P. ALDRICH'o LATEST. Guards Placed Around His Residence. Supposed to Be Political
 Move.

MoNTEvALLo, Nov. 27.-lSpecal Corre- spondence. l-The Montevallo mines have shut down for want of orders. The men who were discharged for voting the demo- cratic ticket have all secured good work at other mines that run on full time.
 It is reported here that w. F. Aldrich, the defeated candidate for congress, has employed guards and put them on duty around his house at night, with orders to halt any passersby and fl they do not stop to shoot. The community is at loss to see his motive in this, as no threats have been made, and tbe men he discharged for voting for Robbins have practically all left; and it is safe to say democrats are troubling themselves about Mir. Aldrich or his property. It is supposed this move is made to influence action on his contest if he should make one.

A WONDERFUL LIGHT

The idea of an electric light which,
fed by current from dynamo actu-
sted by forty-horse power engine,
aud giving 1000 candle power, eau
have its illuminating power intensified
more than $4,000 times, is not easy 10
grasp. II means the protection of a
stream of light Of about 250,00G,0O0
candle power, and it is no wonder that
the announcement that such light is
about to be used in this country has
been received with some incredibly in
Europe. Yet this is the efficiency of
the light which will be shortly erected
at Fire Island for the illumination of
the adjacent coast and the protection OF
the fleet of ships entering New York
harbor. A remote suggestion OF the
power of this lamp may be arrived
at by bearing in mind that an ordi-
nary oil lamp is about thirty-eight
or forty candle power, and then
irving 20 imagine the combined beam
of about 100000 lamps. The ordi
nary .l-ctric street light may be put
d"wa at lO0-candle power, and 100000
"f these Wolid about represent the
strength of the Fire Island light
The most powerful oil lamp yet
made is supposed to shine out on clear
night for a distance of thirty-fve or
forty miles but the new light will flash
is welcome rays to the incoming Eu-
rapeau "liners" when they are 12O
miles away. The light revolves and
throws out It's beams with the intensity
and speed of lightning. The motive
power which actuates it is a simple
cl ckwcrk arrangement contained in a
box two feet square, and although the
revolving portion of the light weighs
fifteen tons, the mechanism controlling
it is so delicate that the pressure OF two
fingers will turn it. The value of this
marvellous lamp can only be deter
mined by practical working, but it
promises to represent an immense
Stride in the science of coast and light
house illumination.

1t seems strange that after many

losing some of its prestige and that
many hygienists are discarding it al
together Some of the very best med

are in 30 sense fit for digestion. The
chemistry of focd is being studied to
excellent purpose il by its means We
are finding out the cause CT the de-
cadence the digestive powers OF man

have been depending on potatoes as q
staple article of food if we learn
through chemical analysis that this
vegetable is one of the things that is
destroying the health of the human
family? Just what to eat is problem
that is very hard to solve. When it is

drug that will afford temporary relief,
the importance of thorough and exhaus
tive study into the laws aud causes Of
the chemical action of food becomes
apparent. AS rule, we eat far too
many vegetables and too little fruit, in
deed, it may be said, that we overeat
continually.
The most eminent physicians agree
that more people die from over feeding
than from all other causes combined.
II is not unusual for W hole families to
have degenerate stomachs, and feel
obliged to be careful in their Diet. and
refrain from partaking of many of what
are called the delicacies of the table.
Persons who suffer from any form of
indigestion may find it of great interest
to them to give up for time the use OF
potatoes and white bread. Elimiuat-
ing these two articles of food from the
bill of fare has restored to health @
great many people who have suffered
oil the horrors of dyspepsia for years.
Eating of certain dishes is great mat
ter OF habit and one can scarcely rea-
lize how quick the craving for these
subsidies, once the resolution is taken to
avoid them.
The food question is Of such vital i'm.
portance that 40 dyspeptic can afford
to ignore the possibility of relief that
lies in the abstinence from certain pop
ular articles of food.-NeeV York Ledger.
