The Craze for Ouinino.

"The use of quinine Is growing
apace on the part of the general pub
llc," Edward D. Driscoll, pharmacist,
tells me. "and large number of the
people possess veritable craze for it
They dose themselves with quinine
on the slightest provocation, and ap-
pear to regard it as a universal cure
all. Not only is 1t demanded for colds
and fevers, but for stomach disorders
and score of other ills.
"One customer of mine recently be-
came slightly nauseated after eating,
and he took quinine, in the full be-
lief that 1t would put period to the
sick feeling, while another entertains
theory that quinine is good for the
kidneys and takes the drug regularly
when he fancies there Is anything
wrong with his organs. These are Just
few of the foolish beliefs that many
people entertain regarding quinine. I
could quote scores of ideas about its
use for other physical troubles If 1t
were necessary. How such beliefs
have ever sprung up cannot imagine,
but 1 know persons who dose them
selves with Quinine for everything,
from a pain in their foot to pneumo-
mia.
"This is the time of year when the
craze for quinine is most noticeable.
and 1 think the people ought to know
that while it is good thing for GER
tain ailments. when .aken under the
direction of a physician, it has some
what injurious effects when taken pro-
miscuously and for any old trouble
whatever. If the heart is weak a
heavy dose of quinlne will have a bad
effect on it, producing palpitation in
many cases. 1t will also cause head
aches. congestion in the nasal passages
and quite few oIher ills."-St Louis

PIPE SMOKED BY RALEIGH.
Quaint Relic that Is Descended from
EIizabeth's Time.

EIizabeth's Time.
During the last fortnight Americans
in London have been tocking to the
shipping exhibition in Whitechapel to
see a relic of United States history
which will be interesting likewise to
their countrymen at home. This Is
nothing less than the pipe smoked by
Sir Walter Raleigh, which is also, of
course, the first ever smoked In this
country, the famous courtier of Queen
Elizabeth having introduced the fra
grant weed" In England on his return
from America. The pipe belongs to
the Prince Of Wales, who always has
seen to It's being guarded most care
fully. There is little doubt that this is
the pipe that Sir Walter was enjoying
when his servant frightened at the
cloud Of smoke, dashed a pail of cold
water over his master to extinguish
the flames which he thought were
threatening the knights life. 1t Is
probable, too, that Raleigh used this
pipe when he demonstrated to Queen
Elizabeth the weight of given
amount Of smoke by weighing some to-
bacco, smoking it and weighing the
ashes.
Even more interesting than these,
however, are the associations of the
pipe with the latter part of the court
faVorite's life. 1t was his constant COM
panion when he placed the battlement
outside the prison at the tower of
London while composing his history of
the world.
To this day the window in the white
tower Is pointed out where Sir Walter
smoked his pipe as he watched his
rival, the Earl of Essex, walk to the
scatfold erected on the green Just be-
loW' and there Is equally trustworthy
suostant1ation for the tradition that
thls was the pipe the knight carried
with him to the block when it came his
turn to take "the sharp medicine but
cure for all diseases"
For many years the pipe was nart

What Causes 1t and How 1t MAY n

ing fiatfooted because of the abnormal
weight the feet have to sustain. Poor
feeding Of the child tends to make
it flatfooted, for the bones Of the
foot require plenty of lime to make
them firm and strong. Poor feeding
leads to ''rickets" as well as flatfoot-
edness, though the physician who says
1t does not stop to explain rickets.
What used to be called rheumatism
of the feet now turns out to be fat
footedness. Persons who go barefoot
ed all the time are said never to get
the trouble, so we are led to believe
that If we wear shoes at all we are
apt to become as the big policeman
or the mythical Chicago girl. If one
doctors story is believed, only old
people get flatfootedness after the
bones begin to disintegrate, so to
speak, and let down the high arch of
beauty in the instep. Asked whether
the malady was at all common among
the applicants for membership in the
Massachusetts militia, DIR. Blood, of
Boston, said: "If it exists in form
serious enough to interfere with walk
ing, of course it bars him from en-
listment." That is not surprising, for
if there is one accomplishment
States militia ought to possess it Is
that of being able to walk. AS for the
rest Of US, we ought not to care
whether we are flatfooted or not, for
there Is less and less reason for our
walking, anyway.-New York Post

that. Whenever you meet a man who

you're just folks You want to re-

we spend our lives eating at the lunch

This booklet; thoughtfully / scan
Its yellow pages, scribbled Ger
By many whom I knew of yore.

Beneath the picture Of dove,
And here a half sarcastic Quip,
All traced In childish penmanship.

No knife can cut our love In two"
Meath that trite sentiment see
A name once passing dear to me.
Across the past my memory flies
I see pair of laughing eyes,
/ press little hand that lay
Within my own that summer day.
"No knife can cut our love in two"
Still, 1t was but an earthly strand,
And what a knife could never do
Was, as higher power planned,
Accomplished by the reaper's hand.
O treasured names! o memory!
What were existence without thee9
For art thou not the magic key
With which we penetrate the seal
That locks away the musty past
And, In our leisure moments, steal
Great solace from that storeroom vast
Bereft Of thee, how man would grope
Into the futures unknown scope,
As up some storm-swept, rocky slope,
The shipwrecked mariner doth crawl,
Before him dread uncertainty,
Behind, the cruel, yawning sea-

$500 year. 1t is natural that In a

the crop will be the largest ever rails

will be the largest raised since the
