CATCH PHRASES

| From the American Druggist
There are many instances of where a
suitable catch line, well drilled into peonIe

ness. The best catch line is one that 6tS
your business best, and the discovery of
sucn line Is apt to be due more to in
SEPARATION than to effort. Pick the distinc-
tive feature OF your stock or business meth
Gus ana endeavor to express it In a breath
II you can coin a phrase that expresses
your central business idea or emphas sizes
some feature that marks your store alone,
you can make good use of 1t. 1t puts into
condensed form an idea that will get hold
OF people and influence them If persistentIv
presented TO them One fact about your
business well lodged in the heads of people
is as good as score that do not penetrate
You can make people believe about what

SPRAYED FRUIT
Recent Reports Concerning the. Effects
Of Poisonous Compounds.


From the Philadelphia Medical Journal.
Any one familiar with current agricul-
tural literature will be impressed with the
extensive use of poisonous solutions for
spraying plants to destroy fungi and in
sects. The enemies Of the agricuturist are
legion, and the harm to valuable crops
enormous. A great deal Of patient and
painstaking work has been done in biologi-
cal laboratories of. late years in ferretins
out the life history Of parasites and devils
ing means or determination. The sanitarian
cannot be wholly Indifferent to the fact
that in many cases the treatment is the
liberal use OF solutions of arsenic or copper
compounds.
The danger from this source ia q subject
OF discussion In recent bulletin of the
ONO experiment station, the particular
point being the spraying Of grapes by solu-
lions containing copper The conclusions
OF the investigator are that when grapes
are sprayed in accordance with the direc-
tons OF the station no deleterious results
Will follow. Indeed, well-sprayed grapes
are sought by many users because Of bet
ter quality. that is, freedom from rot OF
the analysis made the largest amount Of
copper was O.4 miligram to 100 grams (about
lao OF grain to the pound. This amount
was larger than that found in "a mnIes sent
to the station by disinterested parties.
Investigation was also made as to the
liability of jelly made from such grapes to
contain copper. Some grapes which had
been condemned as improperly spravej
were selected, These contained about one
twentieth OF a grain Of copper to the
pound. The fruit and stems were cooked
together and a jelly obtained. One hundred
grams -ofsvhis contained OBS milIierams Of
copper; that is, toless than one-uuarter Of
the amount In the original material. It
appears. thereforsI that much Of it remains
In the vegetable substance. The jelly was
eaten by two ofithe station staff without
apparent harm. 7qe
It seemsl therefore reasonable to assume
Intelligent tsprayiag of grapes with COPPER
solution. 1t must be borne in mind, how
ever. that copper is far less dangerous
than arsenic andh more likely to form in
soluble compounds with proteid matters,
Thus, the-ceppep sulphate used for coloring
peas passes In large part into form that
is not easily digestible Arsenical prepare
tions used as sprays will need watching.
but SO farseven this method has not been

IMMENSE REWARD FOR THE
SLAYER OF ARTHUR L. COLLINS

nor Orman requesting that like sum
be offered by the state. The present
situation was discussed at length.
1t is argued that $4,000 will insure
the best efforts of officers and detec-
tives to discover the murderer and
that the money will be well spent in
case of success. The popular opinion
is that Manager Collins was murdered
by hired assassin and that In appre-
hending him the instigators of the
crime will be found.
A movement is on foot for the rails
ing of $4,000 by popular subscription,
to be added to the general reward. The
Smuggler-Union company, it is expect
ed. will offer S5000
The aggregate reward of $4,000 for
the body of Wesley Il. Smith, who
"mysteriously disappeared" still
stands.
Many rumors are ahoat regarding
the closing Of all the mines. Jacob Fill
Illus, general counsel for the Smuggler
company, said that the mine was shut
down out of respect to the dead man
ager, notices having been posted this
morning to that effect. AS to the
length of cessation of work. Mr.. Fill
Illus says that no one knows its prob
able duration, and 1t will not be known
until meeting Of the directors of the
company Is held to determine upon the
policy in the matter.
No clew to the assassin has yet
been discovered. Some few individ-
uals have made remarks and are being
closely watched to see of any clew may
be fourtl.
The threatening letters received by
Manager Collins were similar to those
received by other managers and su-
perintendents of this district What
effect the assassination of Mr.. Collins
will have upon their actions remain to
be seen.

COAL OPERATORS AND MINERS
MAY REACH AN AGREEMENT

Scranton, Pa. Nov. 21.-The mine
Eorkers, through their representatives,
have agreed with the mine owners TO
attempt to adjust the differences eX-
lsting between them outside the anth-
racite coal strike commission.
The proposition was made on COM
promise basis. and negotiations, it is
expected will at once be entered upon,
with reasonable hope OF settlement,
with the aid of the arbitrators.
The rough proposition which is to
form the basis of negotiations is ten
per cent increase in wages. nine
hour day and trade agreements be-
tween the miners and the company by
which they are employed. The only
one of the four demands not touched
upon is that of the weighing OF coal by
the legal ton.
While both sides have expressed a
willingness to settle their differences
among themselves. 1t is not to be con-
Htrued that II carries with 1t the ac-
ceptance Of the terms proposed. They
are mentioned only as n basis, 1t is
understood, from which a settlement is
10 Dt tHtNteu. II Is posSiols 'hdh hh'
foundation already laid can be
wrecked by either party holding out
strongly against some question and
thus leave the whole matter In the
hands of the commissioners, who
meantime will act as sort Of board
OF conciliation. rather than as n board
OF arbitration.
Few persons were aware that an at
tempt would be made for an outside
fettlement until 1t was practically SO
intimated by Judge Gray, chairman of
the commission. who read carefully
