Passing of the Gargle.

The gargle has been often criticised as in
effective and inefficient. and, theoretically
has been long excluded from rational phar-
yngeal therapeutics, The gargle is one of
those things which it has been very hard to
do away with, because it appeals to the
patient, and particularly to the anxious
friends and parents, as being something
tangible-something that the patient can
do. The ability to gargle, also, has been
considered one of the milestones in the in
tellectual and physiological development Of
childhood, and has, in the parental mind,
often been classed with the achievement of
walking or the appearance of non-deciduous
teeth. There are about the garge great
and tonsillar swelling. and it is somewhat
sad to think that all the earnestness and
conscientiousness which the rising and
risen generations have thrown into the
gentle art have been entirely wasted The
musical gurgle of the astringent solutions
Eubbling in the throat are no longer to be
heard, if the general practitioner rises to the
high plane to which modern science calls
him. All this is because psychologists show
that the gargle never really goes beyond the
posterlor pillars, and is, in fact, only very
nasty mouth wash, which disorders the
aste, discolors tae teeth Injuries the healthy
tissue, and nauseates the palate without
ameliorating the pharynx Medical Record

Get Rid of Flies.

Here in florida where fl es are so COM
mon we can certainly agree with the one
who says: Flies will soo9 make their ap-
pearance, and no matter how good the care
taken, they will get into the house. 1t has
been stated that five cents worth of essence
of lavender mixed with an equal quantity
of water and sprinkled freely where flies are
apt to congregate, will prove so disagreeable
to them that they will not venture near it,
Lavender has to most people fresh and
grateful smell, and as it can be procured at
any drug store for the trivial sum OF five or
ten cents, it is cheap remedy.

But somehow they still come back.

And pull the corners down;
They perch aloft on the baby's brow,
And twist it into frown.
And one says "Shalll' and t'other says "Sha n't!'
And one says "Must!'' and t'other says "Can't!''

They're always ready for fun and chaff,
And sunshine is their delight.
And when they creep into baby's eyes.
Why. there the sunbeams are;
And when they peep through her rosy lips,
Her laughter rings near and far.
And one says "Please!'' and t'other says "Do!
And both together says 81 love you!''
So, Lemuel Laugh and Samuel Smile,
Come in my dears, and tarry awhile!

July "a, 1895 the Chicago Inter.
Ocean in discussing the Horr- Harvey
debate said editorially in speaking OF
silver:
characterization of silver by England
in 1916 made no perceptible impression
upon the market value of the two
metals; but when it came to the
general demonstration, in the early
'70s, the fall of silver, or the rise of
gold. whichever way one puts it-for
it is as fair to put it one way as the
other-then the change was enor-
nous; not at once, but as soon as the
situation was fairly taken in and the
cause had had time to produce its
normal effect. At the beginning OF
the period covered by this table, 1857
the ratio was 14.94 and in 1873 it was
Is 90, a variation of not quite one full
point. There had, it is true been
two years during the period when the
ratio went up a little above the Is
mark, 1908 aud 1918. The lowest
point reached was 14.14. That was
in 1850. 1t is impossible to resist
the conviction that the variation in
ratio would have continued slight
had it not been for the discrim ination
against silver as money metal by
Europe and the United States"

both foolish and dishonest. When
