HABIT IN APPETITE.

Habit Said to be at Bottom of all the
Trouble.
The so-called cravings of appetite
are purely the result of habit. A hab-

lowed soon has us in its grasp, and
then any deviation therefrom tempo
rarily disturbs our physiological equi-
librium. The system makes COM

has become accustomed, even though
this something be, in the long run.
distinctly injurious to the welfare OF
the body. There has thus come about
a sentiment that the cravings of the
appetite for food are to be fully sat
isfied, that this is merely obedience
to natures laws. This IDEA, however,
is fundamentally wrong. Any one
with a little persistence can change
his or her habits of life, change the
whole order of cravings, thus demon
strating that the latter are purely ar
tificial, and that they have no neces-
sary connection with the welfare or
needs of the body. In other words.
diatic requirements are to be founded
not upon so-called instinct and crav-
ing, but upon reason and intelligence.

Zorene is the new chemical wonder
and it is a wonder. Hungaria has
found it, and states through Prof
Brunn that a piece of ordinary and
easily breakable Stag, after INNER
sion in the new liquid compound, de
fes the blow of hammer. The same
effect was produced on ordinary brick
and on a block of red jarrah wood.
When immersed in water for a Ions
time none of the three when taken
out shows the slightest increase OF
weight by the addition of moisture
Two pieces of steel which had been
soaked in the liquid were submitted
to an ammonia test equal to five years
exposure to the air and emerged from
the bath as they entered it. Prof
Brunn states that he can make roads

which is now useless, and that he can
double the life of metals exposed to
the air.

AGAINST THE PUBLIC INTEREST
Overzealous Reformers Work for Law
Against Proprietary Medicines.


Schemes to diminish or destroy
the sale of proprietary medicines are
constantly being devised by interested
parties Every now and then some
Jealous reformer comes to the front
with the demand for law to require
every package of proprietary medi-
cine to be labeled with a printed
statement of the formula. showing
Just how it is manufactured. The mil
lions of people who use proprietary
medicines seem to be satisfied; but
the man with a mania for regulating
the affairs of other people or who has
some personal interest to serve is
the one who agitates the proposition.
To person who has never taken
time to consider it, such proposition
may seem reasonable enough; yet it
is in fact nothing more nor less than
a scheme to compel the manufacture
ers to put their trade throughout the
entire country at the mercy of every
commercial pirate who might choose
to flood the market with limitations of
their goods.
Under such conditions the incen-
tive for the original manufacturer to
advertise his goods would be practi-
cally destroyed, for the money spent
on advertising would inure mainly TO
the benefit of the pirates and imita-
tors Without advertising, the public
would receive little information in
regard to the medicine. and all future
sales would be greatly impaired il
not wholly destroyed. 1t is mainly by
judicious advertising that the knowl-
edge of proprietary medicines is
brought to the public Nothing is
more certain than that millions of peo-
pie have found relief at a compare
lively small expense by the use of
some remedy first called to their
notice through newspaper advertising.
Why, then, should the manufacturer
of meritorious proprietary remedy
be compelled by law to practically
destroy his business as a condition of
being allowed to carry it on? Yet
that is exactly what these formula
bills mean.-Exchange.
