Esperanto, the new. composite lan- guage, the inventors of which hope to make It the tongue of international in tercourse, is creating more of a stir among students than was produced by Yolapuk, Its predecessor. After the recent congress of its friends in Cam bridge, England, many of the delegates went to London and attended a serv- leo in St. Clement Danes Church in the Strand, conducted entirely In Es- peranto. This is interesting. not only as showing the extent to which the Ian guage is being used, but also from the fact that It adds to the number of ma tions, and kindreds and people, and tongues" by which God Is worshlped.

Contagion a Question of Prevention


 Sinrks, drains, eating and cooking utensils, sick room linen and clothing frequently carry dreaded disease germs unnoticed by the household.
 Thorough and hygienic cleansing is the best safeguard against infection, and such a safeguard is found in the universal household Decessity-Borax
 This simple preventive carries in it. self disinfecting qualities which enter the fabric or act upon the atticle to be cleansed in hygienic manner, elim mating every unwholesome property, rendering it contagion proof, while at the same time Borax is of itself as harmless as salt.
 Unlike most disinfectants who depend upon their strength of odor or harm ul-to-the-system qualities to arrest or prevent contagion, Borax is Natures remedy, beiug easy to obtain and easy to apply, simple solution in hot water being all the application necessary and requiring no prescription, it can be ob- tained from any grocer or druggist in convenient, economical household packages.
 In addition to its disinfecting quail ties, Borax is especially household necessity, as it can be used for soften- ing water, cleansing and whitening clothes, clearing the skin, whitening bands, makes an excellent dandruff remover and can be used on the finest faces and most delicate fabrics without injury, while as an adjunct to the bath it removes all odor, of perspira- tion and leaves the skin soft and yelyety.

The
 General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physi- clans could sanction for family use because it's component parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial ia effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action.
 In supplying that demand with its excellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Go. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remarkable success.
 That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the We'll Informed. To get it's beneficial effects always buy the genuine-manufac tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

A RARE VISITOR.
Claims Holy Spirit Has Been Driven Away by Fashionable Rites

Away by Fashionable Rites.
 Rev. Martha Bortle, of Washington, D. C., speaking before the Cnautauqua Women's Club the other day. said:
 T should like to build elegant churches in the slums. Into these churches I should put the finest organs, the best singers and the most attract i've preachers. And I would put up large bulletin board in front with the following notice:
 No person wearing diamonds shall enter this church; no automobile shall stop at this church.
 No one who rides in a carriage shall enter this church. Only those who walk or ride In a street car are entitled to seat in this house.
 Systematic and conventional theol- ogy has almost made the Holy Spirit a rare visitor In our churches The work of the churches really resembles wash day. The churches are work Ing in better harmony than we think. The Methodist church picks people up, the Baptists wash them, the Presby- terians blue them, the Episcopal church starches them and the Uniyer- salists iron them.
 Il should like to endow a newspaper. I should publish all the real news but keep the sheet free from illteracy. The reporters would all be educated, so that they would not make the grammatical errors they do now. And then I should put all the accounts of murders, trials suicides, divorces and such things on page by themselyes-the last page-so that parents could remove 1t to keep their children from reading these things.
 The study of geology, music, art theology, all add to the intellect, but they do not generate politeness. Some of the best educated people I know have the worst manners"

 N U EtssseeEsesseeeSEEEeEeEeee

Lack of understanding rather than maliciousness lies at the bottom of many international difficulties. Espe- cially true is this in the dealings of civilized with an unciyilized people. So apart are the ranges of experience that a mutual ground of comprehen- sion Is hard to find. One no longer wonders at the reluctance of the Asi- attic tribe to allow the telegraph to pass through its country when he reads of the true reason of the natives re- fusal. The story is told in MT. Bush's Reindeer. Dogs and SnowShoes."
 The company, surveying the ground for the telegraph, wished to bargain with the Lamuts for deer to be used in the construction of the line. The chiefs received the agents with great dignity, and gravely listened to their proposals. Then they announced that they had plenty of reindeer. and were perfectly willing to sell them for any other purpose, but not for the build ing of the telegraph.
 Thinking they did not understand the nature of the line ana its object, the agents carefully explained, telling the chiefs it consisted simply ill a series of poles, extending through the coun- try. with d small wire stretched along the tops They enlarged on what ad- vantage the natives would gain from the forts and stations established along the way, from which they could obtain supplies and clothes.
 But nothing seemed to satisfy the chiefs. At last one asked in what direc- tion the line would go. On being told, they became gloomy and even more re luctant.
 The agents were puzzled. not being able to imagine why thsy Were so op- posed when one IaMut. as if struck by new idea. asked how far apart tl>e poles would be placed. When this point was made clear. all faces bright encd, and they assured the agents that they would sell all the reindeer needed
 The reason of their former objection was explained. They knew that the line of telegraph would cross their usual routes of travel. and they had supposed that the poles would be so close together that they could not pass between them with their deer. This difficulty disposed of, they Immediately promised to furnish 2nl deer.

Certain natives of British India hay 'ng applied for naturalization In Cali fornla, It became necessary for the at torney general to decide whether they are white" In the meaning of the law. After consideration, he has concluded that they are not white enough to be eligible for citizenship. This, of course does not apply to the color of their skin, but to the racial stock from which they are sprung, and Is based on the general purpose of the law to deny rights of citizenship to all save freq white persons and those of African birth or descent.

Train Orders at Full Speed.

A new device for delivering orders to passenger and freight trainmen on the Pennsylvania railroad became operative at noon the other day, says an Altoona (Pa.) dispatch to the Philadelphia Rec ord. To obyiate the necessity for stop ping trains the trainmen will receive their orders while going at top speed. The orders will be attached to hoops, the hoops placed on poles outside the telegraph towers, and as the train shoots by the engineer or conductor will run his arm through the hoop con taining his orders and take it along. The hoops are to be turned in at the roundhouse at the end of the run.

It is q fact of common observation
 that not all persons are alike in their
 power 10 resist disease. For example, when typhoid fever or pneumonia is prevalent, only q few. as compared
 with the total population, acquire the disease. although all may be living un-
 der the same conditions and be equally exposed to the infection. Physicians say in general terms, that those who escape have greater resisting power, which means that they have some pow
 CT within them to destroy the germs that get into the body. and so to pre- vent their multiplication and the man. ufacture by them of the poisons which cause the lesions and symptoms of the disease.
 For long time it was unknown how
 the system was enabled to destroy the
 microbes of disease or to neutralize their effects. A solution of the prob lem was, however, recognized as essen- tial if physicians were ever going to
 be able to treat infectious diseases In
  by destroying the cause; or to prevent with certainty their occurrence in
 those who have been exposed to the in- lection. Bacteriologists all over the
 world devoted themselves with great asSiduity to the study of this problem, with the result that they are now be-
 ginning to understand the subject. al though there are still obscure points which must be cleared up before the fulfillment of Pasteur's prophecy that
 the time will come when it will be pos sible to eXtermiuate all infectious dis eases.
 There are two theories regarding the
 way in which the body resists an in.
 vasion of the bacteria of disease-the chemical, advanced by Ehrlich. a Ger
 man bacteriologist. and the mechanical, discovered by the Russian scientist, Metchnikoff. now at the Pasteur in- stitute in Paris.
 According to the first, when the spe- cial poison elaborated by the bacteria
 gets into the blood, this fluid at once begins to manufacture another sub stance which acts as an antidote, com- bining with the toxin and forming an inert. non-poisonous substance. The
 discovery of the antitoXin used in the treatment of diphtheria was the result
 of this theory.
 The second theory is that certain
 cells, among which are some of the
 white blood-corpuscles, acts as an army
 of defense, scizing upon the bacteria and destroying them.
 These two theories are not really
 contradictory. although they seem so,
 and both processes are probably at
 work in every case of successful re- sistance to an attack of infectious dis
 ease Recently it has been found that the white blood-corpuscles, called pha-
 gocytes or eating cells,' need assist
 ance to enable them to destroy the bac-
 teria. and on this discovery Is founded
 the opsonin theory, which will be dis cussed in q future article.-1outh'S Companion.

HOME MADE MIXTURE
SAID TO BE INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY PREPARED BY ANYONE.
Is Said to Promptly Relieve Backache and Overcome Kidney Trouble and Blad. der Weakness Though Harmless
 and Pleasant to Take.

What will appear very interesting to many people here is the article taken from a New York daily paper, giving a simple prescription, as form ulated by noted authority, who claims that be has found a positive remedy to cure almost any case of backache or kidney or bladder de- engagement, in the following simple prescription, if taken before the stage of Bright's disease:
 Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake we'll and take in tea spoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime.
 A we'll known authority, when asked regarding this prescription, stated that the ingredients can be ob tained at small cost from any good prescription pharmacy, or the mix ture would be put up if asked to do SO.
 He further stated that while this prescription is often prescribed in rheumatic affiictions with splendid results, he could see no reason why it would not be splendid remedy for kidney and urinary troubles and backache, as it has peculiar action upon the kidney structure, cleansing these most important organs and help ing them to sift and filter from the blood the foul acids and waste matter which cause sickness and suffering. Those who suffer can make no mistake in giving it trial.
