IN FAVOR OF SCIENTIFIC CON-
 T30T.

TROL.
 The Medical Brief in an article on Aperient Waters states that they have very properly come into general em- ployment, but that the public should not overlook to ascertain whether these laxative Waters drawn from Springs have been bottled with the scientific care that should be accorded a medici- nal agent. It quotes Professor Lie breich of the University of Berlin thus:
 'The first condition of therapeutic eff ficacy is the constancy of the remedy employed. In the case of natural mine ral waters this point is of the greatest importance. The aperient waters offer the one sole exception In regard to this constancy among our natural mineral springs. These are formed by impreg- nation of the natural basins which sup ply the mineral constituents. From this, as observation teaches us, there arises an extraordinary inconsistency of the chemical constituents. The aperi- ent waters. therefore, form an eXcep- ton to the mineral springs proper. For medical purposes it is absolutely neces- sary in prescribing this water to know the dose. The bottling of such waters should be under scientific control. so that their proper constitution should be ensured exactly In the same way as that of other medicines is regulated by the Pharmacopoeia.'
 The Medical Brief adds, however, that one such Water, the "Apenta, D from Springs near Buda Pest affords this necessary guarantee, as it is bot tied under eminent scientific control, and that the profession have in "Apen- ta'' an excellent laxative water

and it is necessary to use the drags, which dig up the roads a. little. We were not riding to cover distances. We simply used our wheels as a means of 1ocomotion, and there is nothing that is so satisfactory for such a trip. l have tramped a good deal, spent sev- eral summers in Switzerland, gone in carriages and coaches, but there is nothing equal to the bicycle. It is as independent to go on foot, but while you do not care to ride faster than eight miles an hour with a wheel, you can see as much of the country as you wish to in that time, and it takes you along much more quickly.
 "The first four weeks of our trip the weather was perfect It did not rain perhaps more than twice in the whole time, but the last part of the time it rained perhaps twenty times a day, But the roads dry quickly We would do our riding between showers, and there was only one time in the whole trip that we were thoroughly wet. That was in going from Biddeford to Clovelly. Then we were wet through We had started before it began to

SPLITTING IN CARS MUST CEASE.
Vioiators of This Rule Will BE
4 Elected by Conductors.

EJected by COnductOrs.
The officers Of the Scranton Street
Railway company have tired of the
abuse of the rule prohibiting splitting
on the floors of trolley cars and have
given unusually binding orders to the
company employees. The order directs
a forcible election of persons who per-
sist in violating the rule.
Following is a copy of instructions
furnished conductors yesterday:
The attention of conductors is called to
a notice in the cars regarding splitting on
the floor.
This order is to be enforced within the
limits of the city of Scranton and con-
ductors are requested to carefully note
the following instructions:
In case a passenger does not observe
the order call his attention to the notice
in the car, and politely request the pas
senger to observe 1t. Should any pas
senger, having been requested to observe
the order, refuse to do so, stop the car
and request such passenger to leave the
car. II he refuses to leave the car, call an
officer and request him to remove the
passenger from the car. il there is no
officer in sight, eject him, using only such
force as is cessary, and II necessary
calling on the motorman to assict. Con-
ductors must at all times be courteous
and not enter into an argument over the
order, which must be enforced.
Some time ago pursuant to a resolu-
tion adopted by the board of health the
company posted in its cars notices pro-
hibiting splitting on the floors but the
rule has been generally ignored. AS
the jurisdiction of the board OF
health is confined to the city limits
| the order of the company is likewise
confined,
