Safety in Proprietary Medicines

Sa'eey 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 70 per cent
contained opium or some one of its
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 a moderate pro-
portion of proprietary medicines con-
tain any poison or narcotic. and, when
they do, it Is generally in such small
quantities or SO protected by accom-
panying antidotes, as to carry with it
no danger whatever"

An Unfriendiy Feeiinu

A philanthropist of Louisville was
talking about the late DR.. Barnardo,
whose whole life was devoted to the
helping Of slum children.
"Dr. Barnardo," he said, was as in

with him was rare privilege
Certain OF his ideas were once at
tackled by a philanthropic young no

and much enthusiasm, but very little
modesty or tact.
"Dr. Bernardo naturally felt rather

enced and presumptious intruder.

William Jennings Bryan a few days
before he set out on his years tour Of

Mr.. Bryan said that he was taking

he would take them, too, because he
found that little children were often
more observant than older people.
"Why,' said Mr.. Bryan. Il was talk

MAKING the Most Of Land.

The farmer in the western par, OF
the United States has never learned
to make the most Of his land, and ID
learning the lesson but slowly. He
found at the beginning more land
than he could take care Of under in
tensive methods and arranged his
work 50 that cattle, sheep, horses
or hogs would do the work he had
not the labor to do. This Is Why
the Western farmer now d1ds It hard
to place his land under intensive
conditions But with the increase

Atavisln.

Atavism is that quality In plants
and animals that is always working
against Improvement, when We con
slider improvement away from the nat
ural type of plant or animal. Every
man that has to do with the produc-
ton of plants or animals finds con.
stant tendency to revert to the orig.
inal type. Thus, ii all the improved
animals to-day were turned out into
the wilds. they would in very short
time revert back to what they were
before man took them in hand. The
reversion would be very much more
rapid than the progress has been away
from the regular type. This force Of
atavism has it's illustration in all
breeds of animals. The Aberdeen.
Angus is supposed to be purely black
animal, and yet many of US have seen
pure-bred animals OF this kind that
we're entirely red. Some Of them even
have horns. So frequently are ami,
mails Of this kind produced that theiI
presence causes little remark. II

times done when new breeds are
brought before the public notice. This
new breed may not be an improved
breed. 1t may be simply new breed
lacking many Of the qualities Of the
best breeds. Breeds produced from
these sports would have more hardi.
ness, that is, ability to withstand hard
conditions, than the stock that is
most suitable to the needs Of man.

What Was in Him.

"Children." said the teacher, in
structing the class in composition,
you should not attempt any flights of
fancy; simply be yourselves and write
what is in you. Do not initiate any
other persons writings or draw inspi-
ration from outside sources"
AS a result of this advice Tommy
Wise turned out the following compo-
sition:
"We should not attempt any flights
of fancy, but write what is in us. In
ME there is my stummicl1, lungs, heart,
liver, two apples, one piece of pie. one

NIISCEl
Spree Of an English Cow.


We sometimes hear of farm animals
becoming partly intoxicated on the
stuff thrown out from breweries and
distilleries and cutting up queer
pranks. Whether the COW told about
by "Cow Keeper and Dairymen's Jour
na1 Of Chatham, England. had been
eating sour malt or some such by
product We do not know. but here is
what the paper says occurred:
A COW was being driven home from
market by the purchaser, when it
started in pursuit of little girl
named Dickinson. who had started
running on seeing the animal. The
girl ran into her home, and her mother
had barely time to barricade the sit:
t1ng-room door with chairs and a sew
ing machine, when the COW com
menced to butt the door. Unable to
secure any degree of satisfaction here,
the animal proceeded to stumble up
stairs, and in the front bed room
wrought sad havoc among the furni.
ture and fittings. A great crowd had
by this time assembled in the street.
and one Of the spectators ran in and
opened wide the bed room window.
Almost Immediately the animal put
its head and forelegs out of the win.
dow, and its hoofs Slipping on the
zinc covered roof Of the bay window,
the animal slid bodily into the street.
to the accompaniment of great
smashing of glass. The crowd bolted
in all directions, but the frightened
beast. which was apparently unin.
jured, was secured without any fur
ther damage being done.

They Praetieed What He Preached.

When Ellison Capers, bishop OF
South Carolina, was rector OF Christ
church in Greenyille, he would often
go to other cities to preach, for his

The speaker, 4 resident OF Columbia,
smiled and resumed:
Bishop Capers in those days had IN
incisive way with him. One Sunday he
preached in q parish where he chose
for his subject Economy
"At the end Of the service 4 couple
OF prominent vestrymen congratulated
the bishop.

Lime in the Garden Soil.

I have read In papers that there is
sufficient lime in the soil to last for q
long time, and that men need not con.
slider the lime In their estimates Of
the dressings to be used on the land.
I notice, however, that In some soils
the lime has washed down to layer
several feet deep in the soil and that
in such cases sorrel grows on the land
especially If it is hillside There
was one farm on which lived where
the soil was underlaid at q depth OF
about two feet by a layer of stones
that had all the appearance Of hav.
ing been rounded by the action of va.
ter on the shore Of some prehistoric
ocean. The lime In the soil had wash
ed down and acted as a mortar to hold
these stones together. The top soil
was light sandy loan. but no water
seemed able to get through that layer
OF rock and lime. All the wells in the
vicinity we're very hard, the water
containing large quantities OF lime.
The soil above did not do we'll for the
clovers or garden truck till we had
made an application Of lime. So
am convinced that the chemist can
not tell US exactly how much lime is
in the soil and available for use. l
believe land should be lined anyway
if the owner does not know that 1t
does not need lime. OF course IL red
clover and sweet clover grow on II
abundantly, it does not need additional
lime. for these plants will not thrive
in soil that is acidy or where lime IS
def1cient.-Mabel Goodchild. Clark
