A Harmless Antifat.

Most Of the antifat compounds that arc
of any value whatever have for their basi:
the berries of the common poke root These
figure under the somewhat high sounding
title of phytolacca tablets They contain
about one to two drops of prepared berry
juice to the tablet That they are useful In
reducing flesh has been proved beyond the
shadow Of doubt, and this without in
juring the health In any way whatever. In
fact number of persons who have tired
them have discovered that rheumatic and
other troubles have been decidedly de
creased. These tablets are not a proprietary
remedy-at least there is no monopoly in
their manufacture any more than there i:
to quinine or witch hazel-but that they
are worthy addition to the pharmacopeia
Is admitted by those whose experience
gives them the right to be heard There
are few things more distressing to the pos
SCISSOR than abnormal fat. and any simple
and efficacious remedy would be hailed by
them with delight New York Ledger

CALLED "BAILEY,S MISTAKE"
Town In Maine With q Name That Ought
to BE Changed.

The postoffice department has on numer-
Gus occasions insisted on changing the
names of offices even when the natives
had no desire for such changes and protest
ed against them If the Washington people
are so fond of choosing appropriate names,
they should devote their attention exclu
sively to those towns whose inhabitants
desire relief. Such places are surely to be
found. There is one, for example, up in
the far eastern corner of Maine. 1t now
rejoices in the name of Bailey's Mistake.
century ago IL was called "Skunk's
Misery" Later the terms "Puduch,
"Hardscrabble, " mink Hole and
"Suckerville" were applied in turn and
then dropped because they didn't begin to
convey the prevailing idea. There was a
new name every year for quarter of
century or So and the nominee was ready
for more when Bailey came along and shut
off further debate.
Bailey's Mistake was named for Sam
Bailey, a coasting trader who used to sail
into Lubec harbor as often as once a month,
the mistake" part being added at the
time of Bailey's last voyage, SO that future
navigators and geographers would know
whose mistake it was. There are two wa
terways that lead up to Lubec from the
AtldDtlC OCedH, OHe Wlue anu udNlBaDle
ship channel and the other a wide and
rocky shoal that affords excellent pastur-
age for founders and other fish of small
draft About ten years ago Bailey was
beating his sloop up to the Lubeo anchor
age and took the wrong way. He knew all
about the shoal water and the rocks and
had become so familiar with the course
that he paid no heed, presuming that his
sloop could find her way without help
There is where the mistake came in,
for trusting too much to the intelligence of
his sloop the craft went aground on the
rocks and was chewed into toothpicks be-
fore morning.
AS nobody ever saw anything of Bailey
or his crew 1t is inferred that the fishes
took what there was left of them after the
waves had done their work. From that
date the term "Bailey's Mistake" was at
tached to this reach of water and the land
on both sides of it, and now the coast sur
vey charts have recognized the claims. so
that Bailcy's Mistake has become geo
graphical fixture. -Troy Times.

Didn't l ever tell your Well, 1t was
this way. When asked him, he made a
great bluff about 1t being hard to give you
up, and he didn't know whether he would
consent, and knew he was dead anxious
to get you off his hands,
"Why. George, you mean thing"
"Well, that's fact, and during the
lime he had a peculiar motion of pulling
The left end of his mustache with his right
hand. Then caught him in the same
thing at one time when tried to sell him
some first class bank stock 2 or per cent
under the market price. He pulled his
mustache the same way, and yet knew
he was bluffing when he said he didn't
want the stock. i remembered that mo-
ton, and I've used 1t to good advantage.
"You see, we have been in two or three
little sittings at the club, and once l
caught him standing pat and trying to
bluff his hand through, and in 20 cent
game too He pulled his mustache just in
that same way, and kept him in the game
and finally called him. He was mad lit
tie bit anyhow But have watched him
every time and he always gives himself
away with that pull of the left hand side
Of his mustache with his right hand. And
II he doesn't get out of that habit I'll get
all of your mama's spending money and
put 1t In your pocket every time.
Maybe, as matter of policy, though,

bluffs through just for the sake of keeping
peace in the family. "-Cincinnati Com

This has stayed the progress OF the de-

tiles not a little. Capitalists and invest
ors do not appear to have been very
much scared bv the war talk. judging
from their inclination to pay high prices

The copper market appears to have
been "cornered" by domestic consumers
who. in supplying their immediate and
prospective wants for the next two
months, have unconsciously cleaned out
nearly all the mining companies, besides
having options on April deliveries. The
domestic demand for the metal has not
been so large for some years past and it
has been the policy OF manufacturers to
buy from hand to mouth instead OF con-
tracing for futures. Therefore the re-
cent advance in the metal caused the
manufacturers to change their policy and
to provide themselves with copper lit.
tie in advance OF immediate orders, This
sudden change resulted in "cornering"
the market which was unprepared for
the large increase in the demand for the
metal. Some belated consumers, how
ever. are still buying their copper sup
plies only as needed and have had to pay
a little above the market.
Tha assertion that consumers are pay.
ing above the market for their copper
will displease the bulls on
the market and call forth statements to
the contrary from the boomers, but the
most conservative copper mining officials
do not think that IL cents Tor copper is
as yet. The foreign markets
are below ours and the foreign demand
for the me al is less than a year ago.
The fact that the exports OF copper in
February were only about 70 per cent of
the monthly average OF last year shows
that there was a smaller
demand for copper abroad and not that
the American producers were refusing
ioreiln business al some bnlls on copper
would have everyone believe. The in
,rease in the domestic demand for the
metal not only offset the deceased exports
but was sufficient to advance prices here

iull and unchanged. EVERETT.

vaporized Corrosive sublimate and Sui

Professor KONG of Gottingen, In re-
cent article on this subject says that at
one time, while he was practicing medi-
cine in Hanau, he suddenly discovered
that his bedroom was thickly inhabited by
obnoxious insects. A friend assured him
that he could easily get rid of the pests
and proceeded to fumigate the apartment
with corrosive sublimate. The success Of
this measure was most gratifying, and
when the room was opened the dead bodies
of various kinds of insects were seen
strewn about the floor. This incident led
the professor to hope that the same means
would be eflectual In destroying the infec'
tious elements of contagious diseases and
a trial in private houses after scarlet fever
or measles and in hospitals after erysipelas
or pyemia gave most satisfactory results.
Since adopting this method he has never
seen a second case of contagious disease
which could he attributed To infection re-
manning in the room I'm which the patient
had been confined.
The mode of procedure is very simple.
From = to 2 ounces of corrosive subli-
mate is put on a plate over chaiing dish,
and then the windows and doors of the
room are closed AZ the expiration Oh
three or four hours the windows are opened
and the apartment is thoroughly aired.
The person entering the room should take
tho precaution to hold sponge or cloth
over the mouth and nose in order not &c
inhale the vapor. The following day the
windows are again closed, and some sui
