Habit.forming Medicines.

Whatever may be the fact as to many
OF the sO-called patent medicines con-
tatning injurious ingredients as broadly
published in some journals of more or
less influence. this publicity has certainly
been OF great benefit in arOusing needed
attention to this subject, It has, in a
considerable measure. resulted in tho
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
pectcd Of containing the injurious fngrc-
dients complained Of. Recognizing this

al opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines, because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur
thermore, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, 1t will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-forming drugs. Neither dc
they contain any narcotics or injurious

The Intellifent Dofa.

Once there were two dogs, and a
man began training them.
Ere long he had the first dog,
drilled so that it would jump through
a hoop, sit up and beg, lie down and
roll over, smoke a pipe and do many
other wonderful feats of skill and
agility.
And the man said it was a smart
dog.
But he never could get the second
dog to do any tricks. He said it was
because the second dog had no sense,
but really it was because the second
dog had too much sense to be worked
that way.
There are some men who are too
smart to be trained dogs.

BUTTERMILK AND HEALTH.
1t is Said to Be the Ideal Drink for Acute
and Chronic Indigestion.

Dairymen may feel that in some re-
spect their lines are cast in unpleas-
ant places; but if they only knew it,
they have one blessing not given to
all, an abundance of a by-product
which enthusiasts pronounce a pre-
ventive of many of the ills to which
flesh is heir-buttermilk.
1t is very old beverage. The
Swedish naturalist, Kalen, who Wis
tied what is now New York State
in 1149, writes that the thrifty and
healthy Dutch people were drinking
it extensively. Indeed, their din
ner is buttermilk and bread, to which
they sometimes add sugar, and then
it is delicious dish to them," he
declares.
Now we are having a sort of but
termilk" revival. The physicians
recommend it highly. The editor of
one of our exchanges writes thus
pleasingly: But few people are
aware of the value of buttermilk for
relieving acute as well as chronic
cases of indigestion. The senior edi-
tor of this paper is strong believer
in its great value for this purpose,
having been repeatedly relieved from
severe attacks simply by slipping
glass of buttermilk during each meal.
Every family ought to have a refrig-
orator and access to ice. Then they
can keep buttermilk cool and fresh.
Buttermilk is in great demand in all
hospitals, especially for patients who
are suffering from bilious and ty-
phoid fevers. With the latter it is
the only form of nourish-
ment that can be taken. The Tactic
acid of buttermilk seems to have
most excellent effect on the entire
digestive tract"
Another veteran recommends it in
preference to cold water or coffee.
" The laboring man, says he, longs
for cold water in the field, and will
so fill his stomach that he is physi-
cally unable to do average work.
We have a suggestion that we be-
lieve will prevent this excessive
of cold water in the corn,
cotton or harvest field. It is to SUBJ
stitute cool buttermilk for the water.
When freshly churned, buttermilk
should be placed in the spring house.
1t can then be carried in gallon jugs
to the field, enveloped in two thick
nesses of thick cotton cloth, and be
kept cool for several hours. The cold
water increases the thirst for more,
but buttermilk will not. 1t is a
wholesome and healthful beverage,
and it has the result of increasing
the physical strength of the drinker.
When it is fresh its pleasant acid is
particularly agreeable to the stom-
ach. Keep the milk in a cold cellar,
and if possible have it cooled with
ice before taking a gallon jug. to the
field. Buttermilk is valuable aid
to keep the digestive organs in a
healthy condition. Drink butter
milk and let coffee alone"
The tributes thus paid not only
cause the mouth to water, but seem
based on common sense. Try butter
milk in the home, in the field, and on
the milk rOutel

The Ell Basket.

The hen that lays is the hen that
pays"
The best prices for fresh eggs are
obtained during December, January
and February.
The fat hen lays the smallest num-
ber of eggs.
Never allow bad egg to find it's

Always. clean your eggs before
marketing them. This should be
done with q dry woolen rag.
Never scare the hens or allow any,

egg production.
Don't try to sell preserved eggs as

valuable customer.
Eggs over one week old should
never be kept for Matching.

THE INFANT TERRIBLE"

The little miss and her mother
were on their way from Olympia to
Spokane. 1t was night, and the
moon shone brightly. The little tot
had her nose flattened against the
car-window, as children of six years
delight to do. A good-natured fat
man was chuckling in a subdued way
over some stale jokes in a comic
weekly, and the grumpy man, he of
dyspepsia and disappointment, had
been subdued by sleep. The train
had stopped, and what might be
described as "deathlike stiffness"
prevailed. Suddenly the little girl
turned to her mother and said:
Mamma, is the moon the big
gest window in Gods hOuse?"
This amused the fat man so much
that his laugh awoke the dyspeptic
gentleman from his slumbers, where
upon he said something about child
rem being nuisance. But the moth
er was sorely puzzled. So she said:
What makes you ask?'
Why, you told me, mamma, that
the stars were windows in Heaven,
and that is Gods house, so I just
thought that the moon might be the
bay-window."
Then our fat friend laughed louder
than ever, and our dyspeptic friend
grunted. Then the mother said,
somewhat thoughtfully:
No, my dear, God put the moon
up in Heaven so we could see at
night" That satisfied the child for
q moment. She turned away and
again fattened her chubby little nose
against the window pane. But it
was only for a moment. Then the
child turned, and with an aggressive
ness quite humorous in one of her
tender years said:
Who puts it out?"
That was poser. The mother in
sheer desperation said:
My child, whatever in the world
makes you ask such a question:"
well, mamma, I supposed, of
course, Gods wife put it out when
he came home late, as you do for
papa"
Then there was a howl, in which
even our dyspeptic friend joined.
When it had subsidized, the mother
said:
Why, God has no wife, my DEAR"
and she stroked the child's head and
called her attention to the rapidly
moving moonlit panorma outside.
The mother had had all she wanted
OF the argument, but not so with the
child. After a little thought she
returned to the conflict, and it was
evident from her manner that she
felt she had an unanswerable argu-
ment at last.
You say God has no wife, man.
maj" she queried.
"Of course not, my dear"
Well, how is it," and the little
one slipped down and stamped her
tiny foot, how is it," she repeated,
with great emphasis, that you told
me that we were all Gods children?"

Nay Reserve Anthracite for Use Of the Nav,

Nay Reserve Anthracite for Use Of the Navy
If the advice of Rear Admiral
Evans is followed, the national gov
ernment will preempt all anthracite
coal mines for the exclusive use of
the United States Navy. Admiral
Evans contends that while the supply
of bituminous coal is practically in
exhaustible, that of anthracite, the
smokeless variety of which is found
only in this country, is so limited
that the next forty or fifty years will
see it entirely exhausted, if the pres
ent rate of consumption continues.
One of the main reasons why the
supply of anthracite should be pre-
served for the use of the navy is the
fact that the smoke from bituminous
fuel frequently obscures the signals
OF fiagships. Concluding his report,
the Admiral says that the production
OF great power with a minimum
amount of smoke is one of the great
est factors either for offense or de-
tense in time of war.

went over with the Chamber of Com
merce excursion from Tacoma and
thought perhaps a short account ol
the trip might interest some of the
readers of the STANDARD. We left
Los Angeles on the Pacific electric
cars at 9:15 A. NJ. and arrived at San
Pedro, distance of "a miles, about
1870 and took the steamer for Cata-
lima, distance q miles. Arrived
there about noon. Many of the tour
lists put up at the leading hotel, the
MetropOle," but nika put for a res
taurant having had little exper-
ience a few days before at the Glen
wood, at Riverside, where I had to
pay one plunk for 80 per cent. of
style and 10 per cent of grub. My
dinner at the restaurant cost me
thirty cents and l got something
more than silver spoons and napkin
rings for my money. After dinner
we got in stage and drove around
town and brought up at the angels
flight, when we took q car that car
ried us to the top of hill about a
thousand feet high overlooking the
village and the broad Pacific and
from there down on the other side by
the same cOntrivance to the ocean,
where we took the glass bottom boat,
in waiting for us, and flOated over
the submarine gardens. Well you
may talk about the beauties of ma
ture. You have never seen EN- un-
less you have seen those gardens.
They are simply indescribable. One
can see right through the bottom of
the boat to depth of 80 feet and see
myriads of fishes of every description
from the smallest minnows to the
largest sharks and of all varieties of
cOlors, from the sombre gray to the
beautiful golden But the prettiest
sight to my mind is the submarine
vegetation which excels anything
ever seen on the land and proving
beyond q doubt that there are more
wonders in the sea than can be found
on the land. We spent about four
hours here and then went through
the aquarium, which is worth more
than the cost of the trip alone, and
returned to Los Angeles arriving at
home at 7:30 PM. There were 25O
on the trip at 81. so per head, a pretty
good days work for the company.
A. A. Cook, of South Tacoma, a
member of the excursion party, was
unable to make the trip on account
of i'll health, although he is improv-
ing. Respectfully,

Cancer.

Cancer, although only seventh
among the various causes of death,
is of interest because of its steadily
growing death-rate. In 1905, "a 800
deaths were reported from this cause,
of which only 9,199 were of males.
while 10, 14l were of females. An
increasing number of deaths is shown
with advancing age, until the popu-
latiOn becomes too much diminished
to maintain the numerical increase.
The largest number of deaths for
each of the five years from 1901 to
1908, inclusive, has been at the ages
of 60 to GA.

Carrots and onions will be better il

To remove the odor of onions from

reason should be avoided.
In case of earache do not put any

the top, when steam will at once rise.
If the ear is placed close to the
flannel the stream will permeate ev-

Nice Things in Eggs.-There are
so many ways of serving eggs that
the vegetarian does not have so bad
time after all, unless he is of q con-
trary disposition and will not eat the
healthful food the hen provides. One
way of doing them is a Ia St. Cath
crime, though why thus named is
more than the most erudite could
disclose, Cut cold baked potatoes in
halves lengthwise and scoop out a
part of the pulp. Break the eggs
into half, sprinkle with salt and pep
per, add a teaspoonful of cream to
each and bake in a moderate oven un-
til the eggs are set. In the mean
time beat the white of an egg into q
stiff froth and work into it gradually
the potato pulp which has been
scooped out. Heap over the baked
eggs and keep in the oven until well
puffed and brown. These are nice
for lunch dish or for high tea.

l just received the Harana Daily
Telegraph of February 4th. One not
noticing it was foreign paper,
would not think of it as such from
the familiar headings on the first
page, some of which are: Japanese
Statesmen Say War With the United
States Preposterous," Gen. Fun
ston Wants More Pay" United
States Will Not Abandon Cuba"
At the American Club 4" Porto
Rico Has First Hanging" ''Atten-
tion, Knights of Pythias" and much
more that is equally home-like. I
find nothing in the paper that shows
any but q kind and friendly spirit to-
ward the United States. We could
hardly expect anything else as the
Telegraph was the first paper to ask
for American intervention. Still, it
often happens that nations as we'll as
people, though friends when need
ing your help, are the first to forget
and throw mud after they are out of
trouble. But the Telegraph seems
true to its friends.
A Cuban in writing of the death of
Cuban patriot, Jose Ignacio Rod
riguez, says: He was banished
from Cuba by the Spanish govern
ment, in 1868, and never returned
to his native land. In that great
American nation a man is not free
physically only, his soul and his
thoughts are free also as the noble
eagle that scars above the flag of the
Union"
The paper was sent by friend of
ours, Major ]. S. Baker, of St. Croix
Falls, Wis, who is the guest of his
son, Prot. Chas. F. Baker, the botan-
ist at the Estacion Agronomica,
Santiago de las Vegas. How small
