Carbolic acid poisoning cases have

Carbolic acid poisoning cases have
become so common in every commune
ty as to suggest an investigation of
drugstore practice in this direction.
1t should not be easy to obtain so dead
ly an article. But Ella Hyland, a IA
year old Chicago school girl died from
the effects of this poison.
which she had little difficulty
in obtaining. Such case is
striking comment on the indis-
criminate sale of this dangerous drug.
In the face of the law prohibiting the
sale of poisons without due precaution.
it seems astonishing that a young girl
should have purchased a quantity of
this acid sufficient to destroy life, The
unfortunate child stated that the acid
was to be used for removing stains
from floor. Though cognizant that
it could be needed for no such purpose
the drug clerk, with a commonplace
warning, handed the child the means
Of destroying her life.

Harry H. Charles, of Quincy, ILL.,, has
submitted novel plan to the post
office plan for C. O. D. department in
connection with the proposed parcel
post delivery. His plan would make
the postofSce the agent of the mer-
chant. Parcels mailed at any postoffice
in the country could be delivered and
collected for in any other part of the
country. The same rule would apply
to the whole country. The postmaster
general is greatly taken up with the
plan and it may be adopted in the near
future, particularly as the attorney
general sees no constitutional him
drance in it's way.

CHEAPEST WATER AND GAS.
Wonderful story of Edgeley'. Arte-
sian Well With It's Two-FOld Prop


For many years Edgeley, N. D., has
boosted one of the finest flowing arte-
sian wells in the state. The water
comes gushing out with high pressure
in a stream as large as mans arm.
The well is 1870 feet deep, and the wa
ter is too saline for domestic use. A
beautiful lake has been made at Il
small cost, which, in the winter tlme'
furnishes splendid skating rink for
the young people. The Water has been
placed under control and is plped
through the streets, affording COM
plete system Of water works. the most
cheaply of any town in the country.
For many years it has been known
that the water was mixed with gas,
but no effort had been made to separ-
ate the two until this fall. G. J.'Stur-
geon, a druggist, has at last succeeded
in accomplishing this after many en-
perrin ents, and now secures for light
ing ard heating purposes in his store
and residence. The separation OF the
gas is to be accomplished on a larger
scale. and the streets and residences
are to be lighted, and the business
houses all heated at a minimum cost,
from the same source that furnishes
the. town free water works system.
The we'll is on the experimental farm
under the control of the agricultural
college. Ike officials have been watch
ing the tests With considerable interest
and will utilize the magnificent advant-
ages Of the splendid well. There are
many flowing wells in the state, and
all have more or less gas, but none in
such quantity as to have been thought
worth testing. The Edgeley discovery
may result in further Investigations.
which may prove profitable. A number
of the larger farms of the state are
equipped with such wells, and in the
future their farm houses may be light
ed and heated at the cost of putting i'll
gas pipes.

There is now much contention in the
navy department over the large bills
for pilotage sent in by captains of
nearly every warship in the service,
and the authorities frankly admit that
naval officers, great as is their skill in
battle and in the accurate use of heavy
guns, know almost nothing of harbors,
charts or the art of steering vessels in
the most open channels. This admis-
sion, perhaps, explains why the Ameri-
can navy, acknowledged invincible in
actual fight, manned = by the finest
crews and cleverest officers, has never
theless been standing joke in time of
peace and why so many American
ships have run aground or collided
with rocks and snags.
