VIII Have Her Way.
An old lady in New Hampshire de-
cided to try matrimony for the second
time in extreme old age. Her children
and grandchildren and great-grandchil-
dren expostulated with her, but she
remained firm and declared she was
going to marry the man.

you're losing your faculties. You
can't see; If this man was on the other
side of the street you couldn't tell him
from any one else"
The old lady said she was going to
marry him. At last a daughter said:
Now, we'll put the man on top Of the
barn and you shall stand in the kitchen
door. If you can see him on the barn
you shall marry him."
The prospective bridegroom sat on
the ridgepole of the barn, the old lady
came to the door, looked, shaded her
eyes and looked again.

LAW URGED BY sELF.sEEKERs.
Real Animus Of Movement Against
Remedies Deservedly Popular.

An adroit but plausible scheme by
which 1t is hoped to prejudice the sale
OF proprietary medicines is the propo-
sition to prohibit the sale of any rem
edy which contains poison" unless
each package or bottle Is expressly la.
beled Poison" Such bills are also
well designed to impose upon men who
nave no familiarity with the subject
matter. The pretense of protecting
the public health put forth in support
OF such bills is generally the merest
subterfuge; and whenever you hear a
demand for a law of this kind 1t
originates with those who have
direct pecuniary interest to serve Sy
destroying the sale of proprietary rem
edies.
Some of the best and most widely
used remedies in the world contain
some one ingredient which, il taken
In sufficient quantities, might be poi
sonous. and yet the preparation as a
whole is not poisonous at all. Opium,
for instance, is used in small quanti-
ties in many of the best cures for
coughs, collie, diarrhea, etc, in tooth
ache drops and in almost all liniments.
To require such medicines to be false
ly labeled poison" would he merely a
cunning device to alarm the public
and thus bring about the destruction
of the sale of those remedies, and in
directly to compel people to procure
the medicine they want by the more
expensive method of consulting ply
sician and getting his prescription. In
other words. it is an effort to prevent
them from getting cheaply the RENE
dies which they and their fathers be.
