Spurious Drugs.

From the New York Herald
The revelations Of the health department
bearing on the amount Of spurious drugs
sold for household remedies apt to make
the willing and unsuspecting customer stop
and think before trusting his self-prescrib-
ing practices too far. There is certainly nc
excuse for substitution In any form
whether in food products or In medicines.
When the buyer does not get what he pays
for he Is defrauded. In the case Of tho
drugs in question there is a positive harm
done the customer when powerful medica-
ments are added to given remedy to make
1t quicker in action and more startling In
effect
Doubtless there are hundreds of the So
called headache specifics that contain other
ingredients than those advertised. The
same. may be said for other articles tho
composition of which is a trade secret In
the latter case the purchaser must take his
own risk in relying upon the statements of
the vender. but when he asks for a single
well-known drug he should obtain it in
pure and simple form If few more chem
ical analyses were made of other popular
medicines many very dangerous frauds
might be brought to light. A very practi-
cal way of meeting the evil would be to
avoid taking any so-called specifics unless
by regular prescription from a physician.
The drug habit being a very prevalent one,
1t is not at all surprising that dishonest
dealers should use cheap adulte ra lions to
increase profits.

A Sighted Science and Art.
From the Chicago Tribune.

FROM the chicago tribune.
1t is curious that in these days when ev-
cry occupation Is raised to the dignity of
either a science or an art that housekeep-
ing should be distinguished by neither Of
these titles. 1t is understood that no edu-
cation is too broad to fit a woman for the
duties of maternity, but 1t is generally sup
posed that mere housekeeper she can
get along with the scraps Of an education
AS a matter Of fact housekeeping is today
both a science and an art. 1t Is a science
whose laboratory is the kitchen; an art
which finds expression in every room in the
house. The good housekeeper is familiar
with many sciences. Her knowledge of
prices and wages renders her something of
political economist, her acquaintance with
the problems of sanitation makes plumb
ing mysteries an open book, and an under
standing Of chemistry solves Culinary rid
dies and banishes hit or miss methods.
The decorative side of housekeeping re-
auires both brains and heroism. 1t takes
brains to preserve the right proportion be-
tween use and ornament It takes true
courage to Danish from ones presence the
offerings of sincere but misguided friend
ships.

except clothing that a human being can
make use Of in one way another.
THE latest scheme I've evolved is the
use of big two-horse truck I load 1t
with boxes Of the latest speciality, put glar-
Ing signs on the sides. and send three men
besides the driver out with it. They make
so much noise yelling in concert that they
never fail to attract a. crowd, and once
you get crowd around you the rest is
easy"
The king Of fakirs paused for a mo-
ment and then continued:
And say, maybe you won't believe it.
but there's very little lying done in this
business. I know the public doesn't think
80, but It's true. I never told lie when
was street mantle things went all
right on their face. because they were bar
gains And I've always ordered my men
not to lie about their goods If things can't
be sold without lies. I don't believe in SELL
Ing EN-. If you'll listen for a moment to
the next street man you rum across, you'll
ma that, while he glowingly pictures the
merits Of his wares-and all the store mer-
chants do the same thing-yet he sticks to
the truth.
The Secret Of His Success.
How have managed to get a monopoly
OF the business? Simply by keeping up
with the times and doing first what the
other fellow kicks himself for not thinking
about until 1t is too late. That, sir, is the
secret of my success and, I believe of sue
cess in general"

greatest labor saving devices invented for
the postal service, and was used many
years with great success.
The stamp was heavy and cumbersome
however, and the cork would wear down
and necessitate renewal so frequently that
it was some inconvenience to the operators.
1t performed. however, the work of cancel
ing and postmarking the letters in just
about half the time it formerly required
and great was the gain thereby.
Chambers Hand Stamp.
Mr.. Benjamin Chambers, an old-time POS
tai official. became tired Of stopping in his
work to renew the cork, and after several
trials evolved the hand stamp device,
which, with a few improvements, is still
used in all of the post offices. Mr.. Cham
bers reduced the size of the stamp and
made the cancellation device of metal.
After the use of this stamp had been
found highly satisfactory the methods of
distinguishing letters received through col
lections from street letter boxes and those
dropped in the post office drops were de-
vised. The cancellation stamp was made
with perpendicular lines for the letters
brought in by collections and horizontal
lines for letters placed in the post Office
drops.
This was found a great convenience, es-
pecially in courts of law, where the time

and place of mailing a letter was often
questioned. When the business Of the post
office necessitated the establishment of
branch stations the different branches were
designated by letter or by number, and this
letter number was placed in the center
of the cancellation device 80 that a person

dropped in box or in the post offices in
any section of the city.
Known by Numbers.
At present the post Office substations are
known by numbers, and the clerks at the
city post office who cancel stamps are also
designated by numbers. so that it is posi-
BILE to tell by a glance at a handicapped
letter just what clerk affixed the stamp.
But the business of the post office would
not permit the continuance of such crude
method Of canceling the stamps the
great bulk of the mail, and many busy
brains set to work to develop a system
that would do away with the use OF the
hand stamp. Many systems were tried and
most of them found wanting.
Some of the devices tested by the post
office officials were far fetched in principle.
There was machine which caught up
five letters on long arm and carried them
to five small compartments, where the
bunch was stamped and was then dropped
in a basket. 1t was found that this scheme
did not work with large or bulky letters
with small miSSiveS.
There are hundreds of different styles
and shapes of envelopes. 1t was necessary
that a machine should be devised which
would operate against all sizes and shapes.
First Successful Machine
Each successive Postmaster General was
importuned by persons who believed them
selves to be the inventors of a perfect ma
chine, but it remained for John Wanna
maker, Postmaster General under Presi-
dent Benjamin Harrison, to secure the first
successful machine that was ever put into
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-01-24

necessary to stack these letters with the
superscription up and the stamped ends
all one way before they can be run through
the cancellation machine.
Further Labor-Saving Device Wanted.
1t is now desired that as the cancellation
scheme has reached a stage Of perfection
the wits of inventive genius will be turned
to the construction of machine which will
pick up these heaps of letters and arrange
them for the machine in about half the
time required to do the operation by hand
A Star reporter asked one of the men
who has been active In the invention Of the
various devices described If it would not
be more convenient to put machine on
the inside of the letter drop and the letter
boxes, which would cancel the stamp and
assert the letters according to cities and tie
them up in bundles so that the clerks at
the post office would have nothing to do
but throw them into sacks.
II had never thought Of that" the in
ventor said. 1--WE might try something in
that line when we get through with what
we have"

some time later. The place from which the
letter was sent was written in the corner.
When the postmark stamp was developed
II was used as an adjunct to the cancella-
ton stamp.
The use of these two stamps separately
and distinct continued many years. In
deed, it was not until about twenty-five
years ago that any attempt was made to
have the opera ton of canceling AMI post
marking letters performed in one act.
A Patent Lawyers Invention.
DIR. Marcus p. Norton, a patent lawyer.
was the first man to invent a stamp that
would perform both those tasks at one
stroke of the hand. His stamp was made
with a heavy metal bottom. on one side
of which was placed the postmark and on
the other hollow metal cylinder. in which
was inserted a piece Of cork.
The cork WIS cut so that 1t would mal1s'
mark that resembled a black disk, with
two white lines running through the CEN
ter. dividing the disk into four quarters.
This stamp was regarded as one OF the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-01-24

general use and the one which is now uses
here and in other cities.
This machine was invented by Matthew
J. Dolphin and George w. Hey, and the in
vention was later sold to a company which
Is now manufacturing and renting the ma
chimes to the government. The first ma
chine was set UP in the Washington post
office during the winter Of 1S9O-91.
. The machine is operated either by hand
or electricity. the latter attaining the high
est speed. Of course. 1t does not require
as large a space as the old hand-st amplng
tables and does the work Of from six to
ten Of them. 1t is set on a stand of metal
and without the letter stacker would oc-
cupy a very small space.
Fed in Bundles.
The letters are fed into the machine IN
bundles. fifty or hundred at a time. and
the feed can be continued as long as letters
remain. The machine picks out the letter,
which is placed stamped end down, and
runs 1t by series of small wheels over a
small steel cylinder. in which Is set the
postmark and cancellation device. This

wheel revoives at high speed. and at every
revolution strikes a stamped letter, the
carrier wheels being 30 placed that they
bring letter to the stamp and whiri II
away In a fraction Of second.
It makes no difference as to the size OF
shape of the letter, and all sizes and shapes
can be stamped at once. The machine
whirls the stamping device and never
how long it may be.
The cancellation device consists of a Sc
rieS of wavering lines about three inches
long. On receiving letter stamped by one
of these machines a small letter will be
seen in the lower left-hand corner of the
cancellation device. This letter tells
whether the letter was received in the let
ter drops at the post office, collected on the
streets or whether it is simply passing
through the Office from some other post Of
flee in transit.
Letters in Transit.
Letters frequently come to the local post
office from out of town that are to be re-
assorted and sent on to another city. A
transit stamp is placed on these letters,
and although there are transit machines,
which have the word transit in the can
collation. device, one machine can stamp
and designate all letters.
There are four such letters-"C" for let
tiers collected on the streets; D. for letters
dropped in the post office; "T''- for transit
letters going through the office; and r.
for letters received at the post Office to be
distributed In the city.
AS rule, the number OF letters received
equals the number sent out and there Is
stamp machine or two which stamps SUCH
letters alone The letter in the corner OF
the cancellation device can be changed IN
the fraction of second. however, by the
simple turning of a screw.
Five in Operation Here.
In the local post office there are five can
collation. machines. Two of them are used
for letters going out of the office, two for
letters received from out Of town and one
for transit letters. The latter is an old
model of hand machine, and is only used
in rush.
The business of the local post office aver
ages over a million pieces of mail week.
Letters and packages in envelopes only can
be run through the stamp canceling ma
chine and all packages have to be can
ceed by hand. A special style of stamp Is
used for this purpose. This stamp is ellipti-
cal in shape and contains the name of the
city and the number or letter of the station
or clerk.
The inventors of the stamp canceling
machines are not yet satisfied with the
progress they have made and are at work
on sizing device, by means of which let
ters can be stacked for the cancellation
ma chine.
The letters that are dropped in the post
office or cast on the tables by the collectors
are placed in promiscuous heaps 1t is
