SAVE NIAGARA.

For several years the travelling pub
lie which has viewed the incompara-
BILE fall Of the Niagara and know its
beauty have been filled with indigna-
tiOn and increasing alarm at the
ravages being made on that great
waterfall 10y power companies. In
1856 one company was granted a char
ter permitting IL to take sufficient
water to generate 100000 horse power
and since SO the number of companies
with charters have increased greatly.
The Canadian government has been
as foolish as the various New York
legislatures and has authorized the
development of not less than 500, 600
horsepower.
The flow of the fall has been meas
ured by experts and the statement is
made that at the present time COM
PANIES HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF TAX
ING OUT a total of 50, 400 cubic feet
per second, or 20 PER CENT OF THE
WHOLE FALL. When this amount is
taken out it means the complete
destruction of the American fall and
irreparable damage to the Canadian
fall.
Niagara Falls rightly belong to the
people OF the United States, the whole
world in fact, for it is one of the seven
wonders, thing OF such grandeur,
such magniiicence and beauty that
words can convey but the very slight
est conception to the public mind.
Yellowstone Park has no such beau
ty or wonder as Niagara, but the gov
eminent protects that as a hallowed
spot. The government should protect
the falls. 1t is indeed gratifying that
many great magazines and periodicals,
together with individuals Of promin-
ence, are now working for that end.
Various plans Of procedure have been
suggested, a late one in the Ladies
HomeJOurnal being of unqucstioned

On June %, Lydia Pinkham adj
vertisement stated that the dear OLD
lady in her laboratory at Lynn, Massa-
chusetts, was doing a wonderful SER
vice for women, etc, but at the side
of fac smile of this advertisement
appears a photograph of Lydia Pink
hams tombstone, showing that she
died in 1888, fully twenty-five years
ago. Wouldn't that jar you?
Mrs. Winslows Soothing Syrup!
Ever put your baby to sleep with itY
Great stuph that. A fac smile OF the
label required in England on which
the ingredients must be set forth,
shows that this wonderful syrup con-
tains morphine, and is there labeled
POISON. Put your baoy to sleepT
1t would put a pig with the toothache
to sleep forever.
About the most interesting feature
OF the page, however, Is an experiment
by prominent scientific gentleman.
This shows four lights burning, each
drawing its oil from bottle of patent
medicine. In the experiment Hos
letters Bitters burned four minutes;
Peruna, two minutes and forty Sec
onds; Lydia pinkham's Compound,
two minutes and thirty five seconds:
Beer twenty seconds. The same
quantity of material was used in each
instance, of course. Alcohol in pat
ent medicine? Oh no-only about
twenty times as much as in beer.
How much longer will the public
permit itself TO be humbugged by
these patent medicine fakes? Many
Of them are rank poisons, Others are
filled with intoxlcants, contain strong
opiates, and good portion OF the re-
mainder are fakes with no particularly
bad qualities but of no service. Cut
them out, get your stomach in order,
quit your meanness and get well once

importance, the necessity of carefully
preparing all school rooms before open

The school has everything to COM
mend it to young men and women de.

PATENT MEDICINE FAKES.

The August number OF one the
popular mothlies engaged in a fight
against some of the great patent med.
icines fakes contains page of
illustrations that must prove strik.
ingly effective.
In one corner appears a glowing
testimonial Of Peruna, the wonderful
cures it has worked in the family OF
Congressman George II. White, of
South Carolina. This testimonial
bore his signature and had been scat.
tered broadcast over the world, with
other similar advertisements of the
Peruna people. Beside this fac
smile the monthly publishes a letter
from Congressman White stating that
the testimonial is forgery, that he
has never used Peruna, etc, etc.
Testimonials are easy TO make, see?
Another corner contains the ad-
vertisment OF one c. +. Davis Offering
more than 100000 letters for sale.
These letters are collections of those
written various medical firms and
quack concerns guaranteeing to cure
all kinds OF uncomfortable diseases,
