PRESCRIPTIONS IN LATIN.
The Public Should Have Them Trans
lated by the Druggists.

/ What virtue is there in the secrecy
with which the doctor hedges about
his profession?
professional etiquette" occupies a
| prominent place in the curriculum of
every medical school, and when strict,
| ly analyzed professional etiquette
seems to mean doing what is best for
the doctor, individually and col.
; lectively."
Among the things that sis best for
| the doctor" is the writing of his pre-
scriptions in Latin. and thus keeping
| the public in ignorance not only of
what it is taking for its ills. but fore
ing a call upon the doctor each time
prescription is needed.
In plain and unmistakable English
the writing of prescriptions in Latin
makes business for the doctors.
! Let us say that you have the ague.
| You had it last year and the year be-
! fore. Each time you have visited the
doctor and he has prescribed for you
in Latin. You have never known
what he has given you for the disease,
and so each time you are forced to go
to him again and give him an oppor-
tunity 10 repeat his prescription-in
Latin, and his fee-in dollars.
If you ask the doctor why he uses
Latin in writing his prescriptions. why
he writes aqua when he means wa
ter, he will give you technical dis
sertation on the purity of the Latin
language, and the fact that all words
are derived from it, etc. 1t will be a
dissertation that you may not be able
to answer, but it will hardly convince
you.
1t would be good thing for the pub
lie to devise a little code of ethics Of
its own: ethics that will be "a good
thing for the public individually and
collectively"
Let us apply one of the rules of this
code of ethics to you, the individual.
You call in the physician when you
| have the ague, the grippe, or any of
the other ills to which human flesh is
heir, and which you may have again
some day. The doctor prescribes-in
Latin and you take this. to you, mean
ingless scribble to the druggist to
have it compounded. Right here is
where you come in, if you are wise.
Say to the druggist that you want a
translation of that prescription. 1t is
your privilege to know what you are
taking While the doctors code of
ethics may not recognize this right it
is yours just the same.
With the translated prescription in
your possession you have two distinct
advantages. You know what you are
taking, and should you wish to call
some other doctor at some time you
will be able to tell him what drugs you
have been putting into your system
and also if you should have the same
disease again you can save yourself
a visit to the doctor, and his fee, by
taking this translated prescription tc
the druggist once more and having II
refilled.

Lincoln Steffens, in an address on

a certain city:
THAT city is as notorious for its

notorious for another characteristic.
Here is an incident that will give
you an idea of the reputation of Peb-

"On a train one day a man rushed
into a car held up his hand for atten-

LOOK AFTER TOILET TABLE.
Proper Accessories Needed II Get-Up
Is to Be Correct.

1t cannot be doubted that a woman
is much more fastidious and much
more careful of her appearance if she
has the proper belongings on her
dressing table.
To have to rush around looking for
pins, to let the hair go half falling
down because no hairpins can be
found, to be unable to see the back of
ones gown because a handglass Is
missing will result in careless get-up.
1t is every woman's business to look
well.
1t is her duty to be rest for the
eyes of men in general, men who are
tired of locking at ugly things.
So while woman need not make
her toilet the work of her life, she can
easily make il a success.
The quickest and best way to do
this is to furnish the toilet table prop
erly.

THE ARTISTIC WALL.
One Of Solid Color VIII Always Give
Best Effect.

The dearest. daintiest, most artistic
wall is a solid colCred wall. II fur
nishes perfect background for all
kinds Of pictures, 1t throws them out
In their correct proportions, and does
not detract from their artistic value
The solid colored wall is also much
better as background for furniture.
and harmonizes much more artistical-
iy with carpets and rugs than any
other method of wall treatment. Tho
less breaking up of color on a wall
the more artistic 1t Is.
The most successful form OF the
solid colored wall Is an alabastined
wall. There is as much difference be-
tween tinted walls, as there Is be-
tween shoddy and all-wool gowns. Tho
shoddy gown holds its color for few
days, while the all-wool keeps its color
to the very last thread, SO also In solid
colored walls. there are shoddy walls
and permanently colored walls which
retain their color down to the very
last particle. The ideal wall coating
never rubs Off, never flakes nor chips
off and is always ready for fresh

wall with your tinting material.
Be sure your man uses tinting ma

comes to you and asks for warm wa

its color long enough for the man to

that your wall is made from pure ma

Among other accounts of deadhead

Miss Peacock had been franked over

Alexander Peacock's daughter was

the Westralian government firstly,
that IL his daughter had appeared In
Westralia, II was entirely without his

Treatment of Calf Scours

On account of the general impor-
tance and prevalence of scours among
calves fed on skim milk, the author of
a South Carolina station bulletin test
ed the value of formalin added to the
milk before feeding to the calves.
In these experiments IL calves were
treated by adding formalin to the milk
at the rate Of one part to 1000.
Eleven calves recovered without any
further treatment-seven on the sec
ond day, three on the third and one on
the ninth. In one case it was found
necessary to administer castor oil,
creolin and subnitrate of bismuth be
fore a complete recovery was brought
about. In three cases of scours in
calves running at pasture and receiy-
ing grain at the same time the forma-
lin treatment did not prove effective.

RELATIVE MERITS OF DIFFERENT
METHODS OF DREAMING
Testing of Hand Separaiors and Gravity
Favorable t the Use Separator.

An experiment has just been COM
pleted by Prof. o. f. Hunkziker, of
the Purdue Qnd) agricultural college,
which will prove of special value to
dairymen. 1t was undertaken with
the four-fold object of determining
the skimming efficiency of the various
systems of creaming; of studying the
effect of these systems on the quality
of the cream and skim milk; of deter
mining the influence of such factors
as the steadiness of running and care
of the machine, the speed of the bowl,
the temperature and physical condi-
ton of the milk, the rate of inflow and
the richness of the cream, on the
skimming efficiency Of the hand sepa-
rator. and of pointing out to dairy
men those methods and conditions
that will reduce the loss of butter fat
in skinned milk to the minimum and
improve the quality of the cream.
The following table shows the re.
suits of the creaming experiments, the
per cent. of fat in cream and skim
milk of the four different systems of
creaming under the most favorable
conditions being given:

FOOLED THE PREACHER.
A Doctors Brother Thought Postum,
Was Coffee.

A wise doctor found out coffee was
hulting him, so he quit drinking it.
He was SO busy with his practice.
however, that his wife had to write
how he fooled his brother. clergy
man, one day at dinner. She says:
Doctor found coffee was injuring
him and decided to give Postum q
trial, and we have used 1t now for
four years, with continued benefit. In
fact, he is now free from the long
train of ills that follow coffee drink
ing.
ITO show how successful we are
in making Postum properly l will re-
late an incident At a dinner we
gave, Doctor suggested we serve
Postum instead of ordinary coffee.
Doctors brother, a Clergyman, sup
posed it was old fashioned coffee and
remarked, as he called for his sec
ond cup: If you do preach against
coffee, see you haven't forgotten how
to make it,"
This goes to show that well-made--
fully boiled--Postum has much the
flavor and richness OF good coffee al
though it has an individuality all its
own. A ten days trial will prove that
1t has none of the poisonous effect OF
ordinary coffee, but will correct the
troubles caused by coffee. There's q

German Turkey Stuffing.

An old recipe for stuffing turkey Is
as follows: Take stale white bread,
slice 1t very thin and pour as much
boiling milk over 1t as will soften 1t;
the dryer 1t is the better; cover 1t
close; cut small onion very fine and
boil it in butter until it u soft; then
beat five eggs. leaving out two whites.
and stir them into the hot butter and
onion until they are little hardened !;
mash the bread very fine and mix all
together with pepper, salt and little
parsley chopped fine; put this mixture
into the turaey with a spoon; the
quantity is for small turkey.
The allowance of eggs seems large
in modern ideas, but our great-grand
mothers were good cooks and eggs
were plentiful.

of water to 100 deg. F., we'll mixed
and set for 12 hours. In some cases
the milk was set in cold water (tem
perature go deg. F), in others 1t was
allowed to cool in the air. The skim
milk was drawn from the bottom of
the can.
The figures in our table demonstrate
that when the creaming is done with
due attention to all details, the results
of each system are fairly uniform, and
that, where all the conditions unfavor-
able to effective skimming are re-
moved, there is still great loss of
butter fat in the skim milk of the
gravity systems.
Our illustration will serve to more
graphically set forth the relative mer-
its of the four systems of creaming
shown in the table. The different lots
of butter represent the butter lost in
the skim milk of one COW in one year.
1t is assumed that the COW gives
5000 pounds of milk and that 100
pounds of milk produce 50 pounds OF
skim milk The butter is calculated
at the rate of 1-6 overrun.
A summary of the conclusions reach

The trimming employed on the
gown is often used on the jumper, but
II is always individualized by some
distinct touch. The sleeves may be
of the fashionable kimono or Mikado
genre, Sling" or just merely Gaping

an inch or two of the elbows. Or the
sleeves may be shaped circular or
gathered full, falling over the guimpe.
Again there are no sleeves at all,
merely a wide fold outlining the arm

A strikingly pretty little jumper
gown was recently made for general
utility" as the wearer expressed 1t.
The material was a fine, black
cheviot; the skirt plated about the
hips and stitched fiat several inches
below the hips.
The bottom of the skirt was finished
with a deep hem. The jumper waist
was laid in three wide tucks that ex.
tended off the shoulder line, and three
little gilt buttons extended dagonally
from the shoulders. The top of jump
er was cut in deep U outlined by a
bias band of plaid taffeta with scarlet
perdominating. Directly in front was
little band of finely plated silk with
fan-shaped ends breaking the monot
ony of the plain band.
The guimpe of plaid taffeta was
laid in fine tucks, an inch wide band
/ outlining wee chemisette of bebe
Irish lace, finished by double fold
of the silk. The sling sleeves were
bordered with bias bands of the taf

Value Of Alfalfa.-Writing to the

e. Wing says: Alfalfa growing land
that will grow five tons to the acre is
worth as an investment at least 5000
per acre. If it will not grow alfalfa
it is seldom bearing interest on s100.
With luxuriant alfalfa on the land, it
will become greatly enriched, and
when again plowed will grow better

opinion that one can afford to expend,
