The Medicine We Take.

The SO called ''drugging habit or
practice of prescribing innumerable
drugs for patients ny The family doe
tor has been scored by a prominent
physician.
He states that from personal observa-
fion he knows that foreigners do not
prescribe or swallow one-fourth the
amount of medicine we do. and he
blames practitioners for frequently
prescribing an unnecessary quantity of
drugs.
He advises the physician to condensc
his pharmacop9ia and mate:ia medica
to a vest pocket edition and then pre-
scribe accordingly. He adds:
There are three doctors in whose
medicines l have ever had implicit
faith-Dr. Have-to. DR.. Diet and DR.

Stone Cake.

In very unusual seasons the people of
Rajputan. in India. deprived of seeds
and succulent roots of grasses. Under
these very adverse conditions the banks
of trees and even ground up rocks are re-
sorted to principally to give bulk to the
scanty meal and thereby to stay the
pangs of hunger for longer time.
A soft stone found on the Bikanir Mar
war border of Jaipua is largely used in
that part of the country to give bulk to
the meager meal.
This stone is friable and easily ground
into fine powder. 1t contains an oleagi-
nous substance which has some nutrient
qualities. and the people have found that
when finely ground and used in proper

No Federal Interference.

New York Evening Post
 There could be no happier augury for the new administration than the firm conviction that 1t stands for a national policy, and that the decline of section alism, will be accelerated under Mr. Roosevelt. Time and experience have at last convinced all candid men that the day for sectional legislation is past There are grave problems still to be solved in the South. The relations of the two races are yet to he adjusted upon satisfactory basis. The question of negro suffrage, involving as it does proper restrictions upon the voting of the ignorant and proper freedom for the intelligent, has not yet been rightly set tied.
 But the nation has finally learned one thing-that this whole problem must be worked out in the. South. The Federal authorities can only make mischief by interference. The Supreme Court has af. frmed the right of the Southern States to frame constitutions under which the negro vote can be largely disfranchised and 1t Is plainly impracticable for Con gress to devise any system for cutting down the representation of those States in Congress and the Electoral College; while agitation of the matter would only embitter the relations between the two races,

Dutch Reformed Church.

Chicago Chronicle.
 To be polite some Western newspapers have changed the name Of the Dutch Re- formed Church. of which President Roosevelt is a member, to the German Reformed Church. Probably the sturdy Hollanders and descendants of Holland CTS will not thank them for the altera- tion.
 The Dutch Reformed Church is the Protestant Church of Holland and 1t was established in this country two or three hundred years ago, notably in New York and New Jersey. It has a vigorous growth now in Michigan. The church uses the English language at it's services and is organized on about the same lines as those which are observed by the Pres. byterianS.
 Many of it's congregations in New York and New Jersey are large and influential. but as thsre was little Dutch colonization south of Pennsylvania. 1t is not strange. that the church which the new President will attend in Washington is the smallest cf all the religious edificeS in the capital
