Danger In Licking Stamps.

The London Lancet calls attention
to the common and dirty practice OF
Ticking postage stamps and points
out many dangerous consequences.
The Lancet in sending out special sup
plement parcels. requiring three penny
stamps, was struck with the brilliancy
Of the stamps. The yellow coloring
was found on analysis to be due to
poisonous salt. chromate of lead. Each
stamp in weight is more than half q
grain, and the quantity of chromate
present is 2.53 per cent. Thus fatal
dose of one-ffth Of a grain would be
contained in fourteen stamps.

To Cure ScaIy Leg.

Scaly leg is n filth disease if it can
be called a disease, it being caused by
u tiny mite which burrows under the
scales of the legs and toes. 1t lives
and breeds there The remedy is very
simple and easy. 1t is only necessary
to grease the legs with any kind Of
grease. An ointment of third kero-
Eene oil and twO-thirds lard is easily
applied, and if we'll rubbed on and i'll
half dozen times a couple of days
apart should kill the mites. and the
scales will come off. Don't pull off the
scales that have become large. That
will hurt the birds. something as pull
ing off your finger nails would hurt

NEW YORK MARKETS
rpahIishers Pressl


New York. Oct. 21-The sudden
and unexpected advance in the Bank
of England rate came like a bomb
shell in the market The Bank rate
is now per cent, the highest rate
since the Barring failure sixteen years
age. This step was, of course, ne
cessitated by the impoverished condI-
ton of the Bank of England reserve.
and the prospect of fresh demands
upon its stock of gold from Egypt and
the United States The decline in
foreign exchange in this market on
Thursday was a plain intimatlon or
our intention TO draw more gold from
the other side and the advance in the
Bank rate was undoubtedly in sheer
self defense The consequences or
this act on can hardly be predicted at
this writing It's effect upon stock
speculation must be unfavorable, and
prices must fall more or less in con-
sequence We have, for the time be-
ing at least, used up all available
supplies of money and our credit Sys-
TEN is greatly extended; not perhaps
to the limit of soundneSS, yet quite
up to the margin of safety. 1t means
that there is an end coming to reck-
less speculation, and that nothing but
| liquidation of greater or less severity
can restore equilibrium.

RICHMOND MARKE1''

The advance of fall will soon bring
the advent of the turkey and Don
many farms in the county the proud
birds are strutting about eating up
all kinds of good corn. There Will be
plenty of turkeys this fall but that
is not saying that they will be cheap
for local users as already the ship
ments to the east have begun. There
is every indgcement for Wayne Coun-
ty farmers TO raise turkeys now.
Poultry dealers go to their front
gates with offers of good prices for
the fowls. and even then the demand
which comes from large cities can
not be filed The turkey certainly is
a popular species of poultry.
