Safety in Proprietary Medicines.

Replying to the charge that certain
popular proprietary medicines contain
narcotic drugs, an authority says:
Some years ago one OF the leading
pharmacists CT America, in connection
with some official work, undertook to
ascertain, by an elaborate inquiry in
representative cities of the country,
what percentage of physicians pre-
scriptions contained narcotic drug
Of some kind. Out Of 100000 repre-
sentative prescriptions, dispensed in
drug stores in all parts Of the United
States. it was found that 70 per cent
contained opium or some one OF It's
preparations.
proprietary medicines are almost
invariably accompanied by the most
detailed and specific directions for use,
while the directions accompanying
phvsicians' prescriptions are generally
very brief and sometimes illegible. 1t
is also true that but a moderate pro-
portion Of proprietary medicines con-
tain any poison or narcotic, and. when
they do, it is generally in such small
quantities or so protected by accom-
panying antidotes, as to carry with 1t
no danger whatever

Every housekeeper should know
that il they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they will
save not only time, because it never
sticks to the iron, but because each
package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in 3-4-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same. 10
cents. Then, again, because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. II your grocer tries to sell you
a 1907. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package In large let
tiers and figures "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.

To be such successful wife. to re-

To Extinquish an Electric Arc

The blowing of a fuse recently on
one OF the trains of the New York sub
way gave rise to considerable smoke,
and for time alarmed the passengers
on the train. The alarm was further
increased by the electrical display
which occurred when one of the sta
ton men attempted to extinguish the
fire by throwing water over 1T. The
car was not damaged, and at no time
were the passengers in danger, as they
probably realize now. 1t is just as
well, however, il the many employees
of the company were fully instructed
in the proper methods to pursue to ex-
tinguish an electric are. A busket of
sand is OF more value than a barrel
of water.-Electrica Review.

OLD FASHIONED FARE
Hot Biscuits, GriddIe-cakes, Pies and
PuddinQs.

The food that made the fathers
strong is sometimes unfit for the chill
dren under the new conditions that
our changing civilization is constantly
bringing in. One of Mr.. Bryan's neigh
bors in the great state of Nebraska
writes:
Il was raised in the South, where
hot biscuits, griddle-cakes, pies and
buildings are eaten at almost every
meal, and by the time l located in
Nebraska found myself sufferer
from indigestion and its attendant
ills-distress and pains after meals,
an. almost constant headache, dull,
heavy sleepiness by day and sleep
lessness at night, loss Of flesh, impair
ed memory, etc., etc.
II was rapidly becoming incapaci-
tated for business, when a valued
friend suggested change in my diet,
the abandonment of heavy, rich stuff
and the use of Grape-Nuts food. l fol-
lowed the good advice and shall al
ways be thankful that I did so.
Whatever may be the experience
of others, the beneficial effects of the
change were apparent in my case al
most Immediately. My stomach,
which had rejected other food for so
long, took to Grape-Nuts most kindly;
in a day or two my headache was
gone, began to sleep BEAUTIFULLY and
before week was out the scales
showed that my lost weight IVES COM
ing back. NY memory was restored
with the renewed vigor that felt liz

Grape Nuts food has kept me in prime
condition, and propose it shall for
the rest Of my days.

intensely EnuIish.

The Canadians are said to be more
British than the English themselves.
So they are doubtless in political senti-
ment, but in matters of business that
feeling is never allowed to interfere.
A correspondent of the London Mail
writes that mo English need apply"
is a common addendum to advertise
ments in Canada. He attributes it to
the yankee leaven" in the Canadian
population. Probably the reason is a
certain lack of adaptability in the Eng
fish character, as compared with the
colonial or the American.

Chemistry in Mining.

So great is the service which chem
istry has rendered mining in the ex.
traction of gold from ores, by the use
of dilute solution of cyanide of po-
tassium, that in the short period from
1889 to 1905 the quantity Of that COM
pound consumed has increased from
not more than fifty tons a year to
about 10000 tons. The Transvaal
mines alone require from 5000 to $500
tons of cyanide annually.

Care Of the Feet,

When you start out to walk, cover
the feet with thick lather OF soap
suds, which should dry on the feet.
This will prevent blisters. When you
come back soak your feet in hot water
and rub a little vaseline into them.
You will be surprised at the ease
which this will give you.

Peached from Famous Stone,

A huge stone in Drewton Dale, East
Yorkshire, England, from which St.
Augustine preached, as the legend runs
when on his mission to the Saxons in
the seventh century, was recently the
scene of a service conducted by DR..
Blunt, the bishop of Hull. The only
instance in the thirteen century inter
val in which the stone had been util-
lied as preaching place was in 1888.
when John Wesley, then "a years old.

Army Officers Must Swim,

A writer to the London Times urges
the War Office to insist that all com
missioned men in the army and navy
be required to pass an examination in
swimming. Recruits for the ranks
should be instructed in this art, he
thinks, as regular as the drill regula-
lions. "In soldering" he says, "wheth-
err in peace or war, there are countless
occasions when the absence of this
power may involve the sacrifice of val.
liable lives"
