Dangerous Remedies.

OF late the whirligig of medical

and fashions in medicine, just as
there are in millinery-has brought
prominently to the front set OF
remedies, so-called, composed OF
coal tar products in various forms.
There has been quite q craze for
these compounds, and some of the
prominent medical journals are be-
ginning to call a halt, recognizing
that the profession is playing with
a more than usually dangerous and
deadly toy.
The California Journal of Medi-
cine recently admitted that the
newer materia medica" largely
composed of synthetics and coal tar
derivatives, lis both an interest
ing and q staggering problem. "
The Journal also deplored the fact
that these so-called remedies are
absolutely controlled and owned by
individual firms, which are in the
habit of getting physicians to aid in
exploiting them.
When will people learn the sim
pie fact that drugs are absolutely
worthless for the cure of disease.

chickens lie has now 9 fock Of nssr-

his pens and go into the business
for all it is worth.
The Matching OF all the young
stock on the place was done by in
cubators, and his success in raising
a large percentage Of each hatch
proves conclusively. to him at least,
that chicken raising can be made
quite profitable.
Aside from his chicken raising
he experimental with q few turkey
and goose eggs. and has small
flock of these birds on hand. Tur-
keys are supposed to be the hard.

Stuffed Pepper.

The stuffed green pepper is COM
paratively a new condiment on the
American table. It is only within
the last few years that stuffed pep
pers have been known TO the house
keepers OF the North. although in
New Orleans this dish has been
served in perfection for more than
half a century. The pepper enters
largely into many OF the dishes pre-
pared by the creole cooks, and On
they prepare them they are delicious
beyond expression.
The stuffed pepper is q Mexican
dish, but is much modified as cooked
in the United States. The Mexicans
do not remove the seeds, but eat
them with all their fiery qualities.
Only q leather-line mouth and cop
per-lined throat can stand the full
heat OF the pepper. By removing
the seeds the delicious flavor OF the
sweet. green pepper, and just enough
OF its fire are obtained TO sgres with
most palates.
Peppers are generally used as
vegetables in Italy and Spain. The
fried pepper is said to have origi-
mated in Italy, and green pepper
salad, plain or mixed with other
things such as lettuce, tomatoes and
onions, is q native dish Of Spain. In
Porto Rico aud In Cuba Q green pep
per and lettuce salad 10 served in
perfection.
There are several sorts of stufing
for green peppers, but the best 10
the creole, made OF q mixture Of To-
matoes, onions, boiled rice, a sug-
gestion Of garlic and little chicken
jelly, with plenty Of butter.
Another is made OF force meat and
bread crumbs mixed well, seasoned
and moistened with cream or melted
butter. Still another is mixtureof
mushrooms, grated ham, bread
crumbs and little onion, all well
blended and moistsned with beef
stock or gravy. Before baking o
little cheese is grated over the top.
