Home Medicine Chest in DANCE

Home Medicine Chest in Danger.
The "home medicine chest is in
danger. If certain people have their
way, no one will be allowed to take n
dose of any kind OF medicine in this
country except on a doctors written
prescription. The remedies that have
been brewed at home for generations
will be put under he ban OF the law,
and the use Of so-called patent" medt-
cines that are prepared in large quanti-
ties from the best prescriptions Of
leading physicians will likewise have
to go. What honest reason any per-
son can have for attacking all proprie-
tary medicines few will understand.
Most Of the standard remedies have
been in existence, and in common use
for many years, and to deprive the
American people Of them would be to
take away the remedies that every
family has almost constant use for,
and the use Of which they thoroughly
understand. d

"To show you how wonderfully

IN BY THE EYE. even with the aid
of a piano. A Kentucky man has In
pented Il tuning apparatus which can
be used by anyone. 1t Is made. l II
the shape Of a square plate, which is
placed over the strings Of the instru-
ment close to the bridge. Pins extend
ing downward project from the cor
ners Of this plate, these pins resting
on the sounding board of the instru-
ment and forming a clamp, holding
the device in proper position. Reeds
or tongues are attached on the for
ward end of the plate, these reeds hav-
ing elongated slots for the reception
of screws for adjusting them. The
reeds are made very thin and deli
cate, in order to render them exceed
ingly sensitive. so that they will reaii-
Iy vibrate in sympathy with he sound
of the strings of the instrument to
such an extent that their vibration
will be easily perceptible. The de-
vice is not intended to appeal to the
ear, but to the eye. The reeds extend
in close proximity and lengthwise over
the strings, it being understood that
lOf SlOllnS, IOf ~lHStaHCe, lue IeeuS are
adjusted to sound h tones which
correspond with the open strings Of
the instrument. In order to bring a
string to the proper pitch the oper-
ator sounds the string by bow or by
hand, and when the corresponding reed
over this string vibrates sympathet-
icaIly with the string, then the lat
ter is in proper tune, and If the reed
does not vibrate it is necessary for
the operator to either stretch the string
more tightly or to loosen the same,
so that when next sounded the CORE
spending reed vibrates in sympathy
with the sounded string. When this
takes place the string is properly
tuned. This operation is repeated
with each of the strings of the instru-
ment, and then the tuning device is
removed. It will be seen that when
the operator brings n string to the
proper pitch the corresponding reed
vibratcs with it, and consequently the
operator can see at a glance that the
string is properly tuned without de-
pending on hearing the sound itself.

EtgagLktsCourtl Ptufr.d discusses these two qNcS-
@"1~ tons in tie North American Review. While
his figures are disqu:cting. his conclusions are encour-
aging.
The SueZ Canal shortens the distance between England
and Bombay by G,2i0 miles. or more than oile-haif: the dis
lance between st. Petersburg and Bombay By 4,S40 miles;
between New York and Bombay by 5000 miles. Naturally,
England uses the canal more than any other nation, two
thirds Of the 300 ships passing through the canal carry
ing the British flag.
By way Of Panama the distance between New York
and San Francisco and between New York and all Asiatic
ports will be shortened 5000 miles. New Orleans and
every town ON the Mississippi River below st. Louis will
save S,9I2 miles by using the canal. The conclusion is that
the canal will be given largely to American business, the
United States standing to the Panama Canal as England
stands to the Suez Canal.

business aggregated 100000 tons. Mr.. Penfeld esti-

The Mammoth and the Mosquito

What has come to pass in thousands OF
years seems hardly credible. Primitive
man, weskling in comparison to modern
man, was able to conquer the huge mon
sters of thousands of years ago, such as
the Mammoth and to-day they are dead
forever; yet the mosquito and fly have
never been conquered. 1t is now time
for the scientist to devise methods for kill
ing the mosquito and fly, so that they will
go to join the mammoth and the monster
lizards. The mosquitoes and hies are dan.
gerous enemies of man because they spread
contagion. The mosquito often carries the
germ of malaria with his bite. The house
fly spreads germs of disease over our food.
These bacterial germs, ever hunting for
the weak spot, find a place in our blood,
and then we suffer from grip, catarrh, con-
sumption, or malaria.
Dr. r. v. Pierce, chief consulting physi-
clan to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y, says 0There
would be no grip epidemics the germs of
consumption, or malaria would find no
place in the human economy, if the blood
were pure, If the lungs, heart and other
organs were fed on good blood. Poisons
should not be allowed to accumulate in the
body; to be safe it is best to take a gentle
laxative at least once a week" Such a
vegetable laxative as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets contains nothing which could harm
the system.
For putting the blood in order and as
tissue builder and tonic for those weakened
by coughs, colds, catarrh, grip, nothing will
build one up quicker than DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This is a med.
icine made entirely of roots and herbs,
without the use of alcohol.
DR.. Pierce's Medical Adviser is sent free
on receipt of stamps to pay expense of
mailing only. Send II one-c cent stamps
for paper covered or Al stamps for cloth
binding, to DR.. X. V. Pierce. Buffalo, N. Y.
