IS IT RIGHT
For an Editor TO Recommend Patent
Medicines

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard,
NJ
1t may be a question whether the
editor of newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as preventive of suffering
we feel 1t duty to say good word for
Chamberlnin's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known
ana used this medicine in our family
for twenty years and have always found
1t reliable. In many eases a dose of this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while physician is awaited We do not
believe in depending implicitly on any
medicine for cure, but we do bslieve
that If a bottle of Chamberlain's Diar-
rhoea Remedy We're kept on hand and

"Of course, shall. I'm going to he

The young surgeon sighed. He was
probably loath to resign his comfort

Il wish Colonel Burney would put
you under arrest for three days. in
stead of giving you leave of absence, ="
he said emphatically. But unfortu-
nately, you are a favorite. and besides,
it's an established fact that, if a man
wants to commit a folloy, everybody
hastens to help him. So let us go!"
The regiment to which the young
i men belonged was stationed in the
next village. After severe battles and
arduous marches a short respite had
been granted, but the men were to
move in few days. Constant 5uGtle
pervaded the usually quiet hamlet and
was specially noticeable around the
colonel's quarters. When Roland al1
Maxwell entered. they found several
officers there. The commander him
self, man advanced in years, with a
grave but kindly face. stood among a

discussing something with them.

he said to the surgeon. II was Just
going to send for you. Lieutenant
Davis has reported that two of his men
are i'll, and the symptoms appear very
grave; he fears fever, and begs to have
medical assistance as soon as possible.
You will ride over to the outposts."

that we are engaged in war and that
it is desertion for an officer to be alb
sent from his regiment without leave.
Court -martials are sometimes disagree
able in such cases, and it would be un-
fortunate if Lieutenant Roland should
go out of the world by lynch-law.'
The sarcasm of these words succeed
ed in producing an impression where
sensible arguments might have failed.
William Roland started and answered
more quietly:
What fancy have you taken into
your head? OF course, I don't mean to
go without leave. The colonel will not
refuse it; we are doing nothing here.
l must see and speak to Florence once
more, even though l hazard my life to
do it!"
"You lovers are always ready to risk
your lives,' said the young surgeon,
carelessly Your feelings are forever
at the boiling point. A strange con-
dition of affairs. Let me feel your
pulse!"
Cease this jesting!" cried William,
furiously Cant you curb your spirit
of mockery even here? But how could
l expect sympathy or appreciation
from you where affairs of the heart
are concerned"
From the heartless American!" re-
torted John. "Of course, heart and

NEW WAY TO PRESERVE CIDER.
SubnItrate of Bismuth and Citric Acid
VIII Keep 1t Sweet and clear.

VIII Keep 1t Sweet and clear.
This years large apple crop has
made cider abundant and cheap, and by
reason of processes discovered in re-
cent years cider made early in the fall
when apples are cheapest remains pal
atable all winter. With this improve
ment in the method of preserving cider
has come change of theory as to tho
wholesomeness OF the beverage Twen-
ty years ago cider was denounced as
a dangerous drink; now 1t is recon-
mended especially to persons suffering
from some stomach disorders, and to
those of a rheumatic or gouty ten
dency. The French have made med
ical study of cider doubtless partly be
cause it takes the place OF wine in
parts of France. and the result of such
study has led the French experts to
the conclusion that the presence OF
malic acid and of tannin in cider makes
it of great hygienic value. Some dys-
peptics cannot drink it. but in some
forms OF intestinal trouble it is help
ful. 1t is recommended especially to
gouty persons. To be wholesome
however, cider must be in good condi
ton, and especially it must not be too
hard. The old method of putting up
cider in a strong and securely corked
bottle, along with three or four raisins
and tablespoonful of sugar to pint
is still practiced in this country, and
the result is a delightful beverage with
all the effervescence of champagne; but
this method of preserving cider is eX
pcnsive and troublesome. The French
have discovered cheaper method, and
that is to place in cider that is to be
preserved from hardening small
quantity of the subnitrate of bismuth.
1t is found that partly consumed bar
rel of rapidly hardening cider may thus
be preserved for many months. The
hardening process is not altogether ar
rested. but in goes on very slowly. The
French have also discovered a method
of preserving the bright transparency
of cider. Most cider when exposed to
the light becomes clouded and brown,
This change is due to the chemical ac-
tion of tannin and sometimes of iron
contained in the cider. Save in appear
ance the beverage is none the worse
for the change, and indeed cider that
quickly turns brown is regarded as
especially wholesome for some persons
because of its being rich in tannin. To
preserve the clear beauty of color. how
ever, the French use citric acid in
quantities varying with the natura!
acidity of the cider, usually about 80
grains to the gallon. With citric acid
and subnitrate of bismnth cider may
thus be kept indefinitely not only fine
in color but almost at a uniform con-
dition OF fermentation

The rays of the MONDAY sun were

forest afforded no GOODNESS, for 1t. too,

burning breath of noon was still felt.
Under one of these trees. whose
branches. heavy with foliage. extend
ed long distance, two young men had
flung themselves on the ground, appa-
rently for a short rest.
Both wore the uniform of the Union
army, one being lieutenant and the
other a surgeon. The latter, who had
q slender figure somewhat below the
middle height, expressive features and
dark hair, lay in a comfortable atti-
tude on the turf, listening calmly to
his companion, who had started up and
was pacing hurriedly to and fro. The
powerful form, thick, fair hair and blue
eyes Enthusiastically revealed German
ancestry but cloud shadowed the
frank, youthful face and the voice
trembled with passionate emotion.
