Some want to see the kitchens. and others
a look at the roof garden.
One young woman asks where she can
have her photograph taken. and another
wants a maid to unpack her trunk. One
has not received a telegram telling how her
pet dog bears her departure from Kansas
City. One youngish man is surprised to
find that the manager does not remember
him, as they went TO school together in the
western part Of New York State. The chef
sends messengers who nave whispered con-
ferences. b proprietor looks In stealthily
once In a while. Sporting men come in to
ask what hsa been said about the horses at
the Garden.

includes sample packages as well as regu-
lar trade packages.
Many inquiries are coming TO the de-
partment relative to the names that may be
employed in declaring the quantity or pro-
portion OF the ingredients as required by
Congress.
The following are representative:
The word alcohol" has received 20 much
unfavOrable notoriety during the last few
years that We hesitate to place IL upon our
labels. Could We not employ some other
words in place OF IL. IA ch as cologne spirits, "
spirits OF wine" pure grain alcohol" &c?
Would it be satisfactory for us to use
-Phenylacetamide." or the following formula.
C6HS tCH3COl. for the chemioal ~acetanilide?
One OF our preparations contains trichlOre-
thidenc ethyl alcOhOlRte. which would un-
dOubtedly under the law be considered n
derivative OF chlOTal hydrate. Will L. be
satisfactory for us to use this name on our
trade packages in giving the amount Of this
chemical present in the product?
In the manufacture OF some OF our produ cts
weuse opium. 10 would. however. be a anan-
cial loss to state this fact on the label. Could
We not say this preparation contains 20 grains
OF the concentrated extract OF the Papaver
somnife:um to the auido uncep
DOver's powder Ia mentioned in the reRula-
ti0ns as one OF the preparations Of opium. n
would seem su f1cient az first glance that
Dover's powder as n preparation. II mentioned
on the label, would be all that could be re-
auired as TO opium.
One OF the objects Of the law IL to inform
the consumer Of the presence Of certain
drugs in medicines. and the above terms
do not give the average person any idea
as to the presence or absence OF such drugs.
In enumerating the ingredients the guam
tity or proportion OF which is required to
be given upon the principal label OF any

gradients may be present the act uaes only

WASHINGTON. Nov. 9O.-Since the pas

agO the Government authorities have
been deluged with letters Of inquiry from
manufacturers and dealers.
Some Of the letters show an honest desire
TO conform with the law in principle as
well as in letter. but hundreds Of these
cpistles seem to be written with the idea Of
finding official sanction for an evasion Of
the Iaw's provision.

Bad Breath From Indigestion Cam

All of us suffer from bad breath
sometimes our own, but offtner that of
our friends.
Nine-tenths of this bad breath
comes from some stomach trouble,
and cannot be overcome by breath
perfumes or any other palliative
measures.
If you occasionally have a bad
BREATH if there is heartburn, flatu-
lence and acid gulpings of undigested
food if the stomach burns or smarts;
if there is sleeplessness, nervousness.
headaches or any other of the many
symptoms of Indigestion, use Mona
stomach tablets and get Well
Mi-o-na is not a mere digestive nor
a physic, but a tonic remedy that
strengthens the muscles of the stom-
ach and bowels so that the flow of
gastric juices is increased, and the
food is digested naturally and does
not stay in the stomach to ferment
and poison the breath.
Dodsons Pharmacy have seen so
many cures made by Mi-o-na stomach
tablets that they give a guarantee
with every 50-cent box that the mon
ey will be refunded if the remedy

The only known survivor of the
naval battle of Navarino, which took
place Oct. 20, 1897, is still living at
Binstead, near Ryde, Isle Of Wight, in
the person of John Stainer, who has

as a coastguard, and retired many
