GAS TO TAKE PLACE OF COAL
Seems Likely to Come Into Genera'
Use on Shipboard.


If a vessel propelled by steam
power Is called a steamer, Shoulu
a vessel in which the motive power Is
gas be called "gasser'? The query
is prompted by the possibility that III
the not far distant future marine pro-
pusion will be largely effected by
means of explosion engines, whose
fuel will be gas generated on Doard.
For stationary purposes plants or this
description have already been erected
on a large scale, and more than one
firm of engineers is said to be en-
gagged in perfecting combined plant
consisting of engine and gas generator
which shall be lighter and occupy less
space than the present combination
of steam boilers and engine, power
for power. The gas used is known
as producer gas, and is to all intents
and purposes steam or water vapor
>assed through inCandesccnt coke i'll
special form of furnace. The re-
sultant gas Is a combination of carbon
monoxide, hydrogen and nitrogen.
Utilizing the fuel lin this manner is
claimed to effect n very appreciate
economy as compared with burning 1t
under a boiler to generate steam In
deed it has been estimated that one
pound of fuel will thus go as far as
three pounds in the latter method.
This on long voyage not only means
the reduction of the coal bill, but also
corresponding increase in cargo
space or passenger ACCOMMODATIONS
It therefore behooves steamship com
panies to pause before adopting the
steam turbine in wholesale manner.

those who wish TO dress handsomely.

AGAINST THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
overzeaIous Reformers Work for Law
Aoainst Proprietary Medicines.

Against Proprietary Medicines
Schemes to diminish or destroy
the sale of proprietary medicines are
constantly being devised by interested
narties Every now and then some
jealous reformer comes to the 1ron'
with the demand for law to require
every package of proprietary meol
cipa to he labeled with printed
statement of the formula, showing
inst how 1t is manufactured. The mil
lions of people who use proprietary
medicines seem to be satshed; out
the man with a mania for regulating
the affairs of other people or VINO mas
some personal interest to serve Is
the one who agitates the proposition.
To a person who has never taken
time to consider 1t, such a proposition
NAV seem reasonable enough; yet II
ia in fact nothing more nor less than
a scheme to compel the manufactur-
ers to put their trade throughout the
entire country at the mercy OF every
commercial pirate who might choose
IN flood the market with limitations of
their SOOuS
Under such conditions the incen-
tive for the original manufactures to
advertise his goods would be practi-
cally destroyed. for the money spent
on advertising would inure mainly to
tho 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
iudicious advertising that the knowl
edge Of proprietary medicines is
brought to the public. Nothing is
more certain than that millions of peo
ple have found relief at compare
lively small expense by the use OF
some remedy first called to their
notice through newspaper advertising
WHY. then, should the manufacturer
of a meritorious proprietary remedy
be compelled by law to practically
destroy his business as a condition OF
being allowed to carry 1t on? YET
that Is exactly what these formula

was always a burning sensation over my
forehead, but the other pains varied.

they were dull and lingering. l could
