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 OF 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 a 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 20 per cent
contained opium or some one of its
preparations.
Proprietary medicines are almost
invariably accompanied by the most
detailed and specific directions for use,
while the directions accompanying
physicians prescriptions are generally
very brief and sometimes illegible- 1t
is also true that but moderate pro
portion of proprietary medicines con-
tain any poison or narcotic. and, when
they do. 1t is generally in such small
quantities or SO protected by accom-
panying antidotes, as to carry with it
no danger whatever"

Long Fight Against Mormonism.

Senator Dubois has been a resident
Of Idaho for twenty-six years. and
during twenty of them has been fight
ing Mormonism, and is on the United
States senate committee which has
under advisement the case of Reed
Smoot- Mr.. Dubois says: 81 believe
that the senate will exclude Senator
Smoot at this session. 1t will be a
great victory for the anti-Mormon
forces of our Western states. They
need the encouragement, for it has
been a bitter and relentless fight.
That power of the Mormon church
cannot be understood by the people
who have not lived either in Utah or
Idaho. They have clearly a third of
the people. and to uproot them is diff
cult. The unseating of Smoot will be
a long step forward"

patron.
The proprietor smilingly answered:
''I'll tell you why, and the reason is
so strange that you viii hardly credit
it.
Those men are stained glass work
ers imported from Paris for my new
stained glass department and they
walk on tiptoe because they have
worked SO much in churches and
cathedrals that the gait has become
habitual with them.
Practically all their working hours
have been spent in the repairing of
the magnificent old painted windows
of the churches of Europe Since
these churches are always open, since
services are always going on in them,
work must be conducted quietly and
all walking must be done on the toes.
Hence these three excellent arti-
lists whenever they enter a specious
and quiet place like this gallery of
mine rise UP on their toes invulun-
tari1y from subconscious notion that
they are in church.
This is odd, but true-true of all

HOW FINE HYMN WAS WRITTEN

Coward, Christian Soldiers" Com
posed for School Festival.
Probably a greater hymn never had
more humble origin than Onward,
Christian Soldiers" which is one of
the most popular Af our modern
hymns. In the October Delineator
Allan Sutherland writes:
"a great school festival was to be
held in a Yorkshire village on Whit
Monday, 1865, and the scholars OF Hor
bury Bridge school, over which the
Rev. Sabine Baring-Go-ld was curate,
were invited to attent; AS the place

be an excellent plan to have his schol.
ars march to the singing of an appro-
pirate and stirring hymn. Fortunate
II for our hymnology, he could find
nothing in his song books suitable
for such an occasion, so from sheer
necessity he sat down on the Saturday
evening preceding the celebration and
composed this great professional
hymn. little dreaming that he had pro-
duced that which would be worldwide
in its usefulness and make his name
household word. Baring-Gould, a
minister Of the Church of England, is
an authority on many subjects, and is
voluminous writer, having published
nearly one hundred volumes. In TWEEN
ty years, between 1870 and 1890, he
issued no less than forty three books
sixteen OF which were novels. During
the next six years he published seven
teen novels. A number of his works
have passed down through several edi-
tons. This suggests the poet Thomas
Gray, who was also a man of vast
learning, not only in literature, but in
all the arts and sciences of his day,
and although he left writings enough
to form, with his life, a book of four
volumes, edited by Edmund Gosse,
it is by his one poem, ''Elegy Written
in a Country Churchyard.' that he
will be ever remembered. This may
also prove true Of Baring-Gould. The
few lines hurriedly composed on a
Saturday evening as marching song

O child and the doctor was called, his nrSt pre-

physicians know the value Of having the bowels
thoroughly opened. People, when they grow
up, allow constipation TO become chronic
through lack OF attention. Constipation Is the
failure OF the bowels to carry or the undigested
food. which collects in the alimentaryr canal
and there decays, generating poisonous disease
germs These germs find their way into the
blood by means OF which they are carried TO
every tissue. The fever thus created affects
not only the lungs, kidneys, stomach. heart and
nervous system, but in fact any organ OF the
body is liable to break down as a result The
blood becomes thin and watery. The sufferer
loses in flesh and strength. Castor oil and pills
