Ginseng ms a Remedy.

No matter what the disease, the first
thing the Chinaman thinks of is gin
seng. His faith in his medicine helps
to cure him beyond any doubt. Given
such trust in any physician or any
drug, there is no question but what it
would reduce our mortality record. If
man wants to sober up after a night
of feasting and wines, the remedy Is
ginseng. If he has used too much the
opium pipe, give him ginseng. If the
baby's stomach is out of order. put gin
seng into It's food. If the appetite is
gone, it calls for the same drug. The
rich season their food with it as we
would with pepper, believing that it
aids digestion. The aged Chinaman
uses it in the belief that it keeps him
from growing feeble.-Medical Talk.

Prohibiting Sale of Uncolored.
Des Moines, May 1S.-A determined
effort is to be made by the state off,
Gals to put an end to the sale Of I'M
colored oleomargarine in Iowa. Some
time ago the state dairy commissioners
caused test suit to be brought by the
indictment of agents selling so-called
uncolored cleo. The oleomargar-
inc sold was not pure white, but rather
OF an ivory color like poor butter, but
1t was that which passes under the
United States classification as uncol-
ored and is in fact not artifically col
ored. Under this ruling the agents were
convicted. The dairy commissioner is
sending out circular letter to the
dealers ordering them to desist from
selling oleomargarine having any
shade Of yellow color.
