MOST COSTLY DRUGS.

Some Sell for More Than Their Weight
"The price of many drugs used in
medicines is astonishing to those who
are not acquainted with the subject, "
remarked a druggist, according to the
Boston Herald. There are several that
are worth their weight in gold (about
500 an ounce), while 81, So and IS an
ounce are quite common prices in the
pharmacy. l filled a prescription the
other day that cost S25. But there is
one drug that l can recall which Is
worth much more than its weight in
gold. That is pseudo physostigmine.
I don't think that it has popular
name: 1t Is too rich for that. In the
pharmacists list 1t Is quoted at 81 a
grain, or $437.50 an ounce. The seed
from which the drug is made grows in
India and Brazil, as we'll as in parts
of South Africa. This seed, tradition
saws, was once used by native African
chiefs as an ordeal. The ordeal gen
orally resulted In the death Of the man
upon whom it was tried. and so was
considered as great truth-findcr The
prepared drug Is sometimes used now
in prescriptions for the treatment of
heart disease Another drug which
takes the palm for ccstliness is, suri-
ously enough, the one which is per-
haps the most widely known by name
of them all to the general pubic,
namely, musk. Its retail price at the
present moment is about $50 an ounce,
$500 a pound apothecary, or two and
a half times the value Of pure gold. "a
carats fine. 1t is obtained from the
musk deer, very rare animal, and Is
contained in follicle. Of which there
is only one in each animal, so that an

The Soldiers Got Their REVENGE

Oklahoma delegate in Washington, II
heard of a post commandant who. like
all other post comnandants, was not
popular. He had two fads. First. he
believed In whltewash and plenty, Of
it, asserting it to be the most effective
preventive Of tropical diseases ever
discovered. His second fad was an ap-
parently unreciprocated attachment to
a pet famingo, who resented being
kept in captivity, and who showed his
resentment by nipping at every soldier
who passed his way. On the part OF

the soldier there was nothing to do
but swear under his breath and wait
for revenge.
ION certain Monday morning an
order was issued from headquarters
that all articles pertaining to the camp
which were not sheltered from tho
weather should be whitewashed. No
one who knows the American soldier
needs further information. When saw
the namingo he was as white as tho

never heard it yet. Catarrh may at
tack any organ of the body. Women
are especially liable to catarrh of the
pelvic organs. There are one hundred
cases Of catarrh of the pelvic organs to
one of catarrh Of the head. Most peo-
pie think, because they have not ca

HOW ONE GIRL MADE A LIVING.

Success is sometimes the result OF a
happy thought, an iEtui,ive recogni-
ton OF existing necessity for some
thing and an outline Of the means by
which it may be accomplished. Many
fortunes have been made by discovery
of something that struck the popular
fancy, just "a this girl built up a
profitable little business through BRAIN
work and energy. She made sand
witches FOR teas, receptions, card par
ties, stag parties and children's par
ties, as we'll as the travellers luncheon
baskets, and her inventive genius
originated over twenty-five varieties.
At first thought it may seem very
ordinary matter to make a sandwich,
but not so when one must satisfy deli
cate and fastidiOus tastes or make up
richly seasoned little article which
will either whe' the appetite or satisfy
its cravings, Skill and refinement, a
knowledge of delicious combinations
which will please the palate, an eye
for pretty effects in shapes, and the
neatest and daintiest Of methods, are
among the secrets of success. The use
of the very best butter and materials is
of Importance. Careful packing in
paraffine paper is necessary when the
sandwiches are being sent to their
destination. Fanciful shapes are the
diamond and heart for card parties.
Strips, triangles and circles are favor
ties for teas. Among the various
kinds made by this busy girl are the
cream cheese, nasturtium, chopped
sailed almond, walnut, sardi line,
anchovy, cucumber, lettuce and olive
sandwich. She never puts slice OF
meat in a sandwich. Chicken is
pounded and only the breast used,
ham is chopped fine, and the season.
ings are piquant and delightful.
Caviare, or the highly favored foreign
cheeses, are used for stag parties. The
golf sandwich is new. 1t is cut round
with biscuit cutter and is OF brown
bread, spread with chopped olives,
minced lettuce and watercress, tara.
gon, paprika, parsely and chives.
mixed with mayonnaise. Another de.
licious kind is Of pounded chicken,
mixed with the yolk of mashed hard
boiled egg, cream and onion juice; and
still another is of anchovy paste
mingled with cheese, and mustard.
The aesthetic sandwich is an idea i'm
ported from England. 1t is the rose,
the violet or the nasturtium by name
and is made by shutting fresh, un-
sailed butter in tight jar with the
flowers for several hours. The butter
! absorbs the flavor and is spread on
bread which has been treated in the
same manner. Home made bread, a
day old, is used by this busy girl for
her little trade. She makes it and
bakes it, and it is Of delicious quality,
cut thin as wafer for the sandwiches
and the crusts not used. Jam sand
wiches are rolled apd are delicious
when made Of raspberry, orange,
ounce or spiced crushed currants.
The girl who provides all these
dainties has placed them on sale at
one of the exchanges for women's
work and receives plenty OF orders. be-
sides supplying many private custom
ers as we'll.

Milk for babes but meat for men,"
When a man can no more eat mans
food, but exists on milk and cracker
diet he is gone back to babyhood. He
may be big man but he has baby's
stomach.
Success in life depends largely on the
stomach. The man with the baby's
stomach finds himself also with a baby's
peevishness and perversity. He has the
baby's exaggerated personal sensitive
to his friends and an anxiety to his
his stomach. A weak stomach argues
weak man. And weak" stomach is
the common starting point of most of
the so-called weaknesses which affect
the great organs heart, lungs, liver,
kidneys, etc. How can it be otherwise
when the body and all its organs are
dependent on the stomach for their
nutrition? The weak stomach drags
the organs down with it, because being
weak it is unable to convert food into
nutrition, and the organs of the body
being starved, of necessity become weak,
as consequence of starvation.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. It
makes the weak body strong in the only
way physical strength can be made,
which is by food, properly digested and
assimilated. The cures of uweak lungs,
~weak" heart, vweak" or sluggish liver,
cweak" kidneys, ETC., which follow the
use of rGolden Medical Discovery" are
all due to this perfect nutrition of the
