Or. wiley's Cold Storage Findings

From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.
I DR.. Fl. w. Wiley's first report to con-
gress of the results of his cold storage
Investigations confirms the expectations
of those who believed he would find that
meats and game deter:orate after a GER
tain period. The doctor says they improve
for six OF eight weeks and then deteri-
crate rapidly.
This report f~oreshadows legislation re-
curing the marking of all articles placed
in storage w.t. the date Of entry, SO that
consumers may kno what they are pur-
chasing. The report does not clear away
doubt as to the wisdom of storing poultry
and game with the viscera unremoyed, al
though it was expected that the inspectors
would quickly find that fowls are poi
soned la a short time by the decompos:-
ton of he viscera. The inference will
now be tina. the practice is not SO bad
after all, and. that It may be authorized
under certain restrictions.

Done, M lord" said the highway
man.
The law knew nothing about this ar
r%angement, n the earl did as he had
promised. He placed the hundred
guineas where the highwayman uisht
at his leisure collect it. And there. So
far as he knew, the matter ended.
Years afterward he attended "a great
banquet in the city, and found hi.nse2f
pleasantly entertained by an extremely
Well known man, whose signature wan
good for a sum in several figures. Next
day came to Lord Stanhope a letter en-.
closing the sum of 100 guineas. Ac-
companying it was a note begging his
acceptance of a loan granted soma
years previously to the man who now
forwarded it.
That loan, said the letter, had en-.

county authorities. He finally lined
up satisfactory proof that he was the
only and original William Argue,
and they didn't argue any longer.
'They tried to head us OFF up in

By this time Mr.. and Mrs. Argue

PIE. For ! New Grade Of Doctors.

without Of course limiting that there
are two few qualified physicians
throughout the country American Ned
icine advances the opinion that there
. a growing need of profession
which shall exercise the functions OF
both doctor and druggist. 1t says that
the services performed by the two al
ready overlap, especially in rural conf
munities. But not alone in tie coun-
try is the druggist or his clerk called
upon to give first aid to the injured
or Suddenly stricken sufferer. Even
town and city doctors cannot be every
where in their field at once The drug
gist is always at the same old stand.
A hurry up call never misses fire there.
A doctor may give away medicine
which it is the druggists business to
sell for gain, and it is only fair that
the druggist give away advice. Al
though he is not now legally authoriZ-
ed to prescribe. but just the contrary,
he may and frequently does plead the
unwritten law of necessity and do a
service to humanity He is supposed
to know the effect of the remedies
which he handles and therefore finds it
difficult to refuse information to a
neighbor or fellow tOwnsman when the
case is urgent and the regular plysi-
clan beyond reach.
In order to qualify the druggist to
act as sort Of assistant physician the
paper suggests that druggists take a
shorter and less expensive course in
medicine and be licensed to practice in
minor disorders and even to perform
slight surgical operations. He would
surely be capable Of taking some
| thing" out of smarting eye, although
| he might draw the line at pulling a
stubborn tooth, as even some city
dentists do on the ground that that
class of work is for the specialist. Tn
Questionably there is now very con-
siderable informal prescribing being
| done by druggists and drug clerks.
Nearly everybody behind a drug coun-
| ter Is called doc" by his neighbOrs
and is often expected to live up to the
| title more or less. If this is to continue
| 1t might be well to have the custom
placed under regulations so that all
commemorative public, the druggists
and the regular physicians-couldk know
"where they are at"

Our Mars Lesson Up to Date.

Mr.. Percival Lowell, the recognized
sharp on the planet Mars, tells the
public in the current number of Ma
ture what the telescopes have discov-
cred this suHmer to add to human
knowledge respecting the markings on
our nearest celestial neighbor For
months during the period when Mars
was approaching and nearest to the
earth Mr. Lowells telescope, the only
large one in this country exclusively
engaged in the Marian field, was train
ed upon the planet with unvarying
regularity. Practically everything re-
ported by Mr.. Lowell has been known
to even elementary students of as
tronomy for a generation. 1t has been
believed that the canals" of Mars
which disappear and return are a phe-
nomenon due to the succession of the
seasons, as the formation and melting
Of snow and ice. Mr.. Lowell confirms
this view.
what the canals on Mars are has
long been a matter of doubt, and this
years observations lead Mr.. Lowell to
reiterate what he has said before-that
they represent narrow belts of vege-
tation made possible by some system
Of irrigation. This assumes that Mars
is inha bited, yet neither ut the Arizona
station, where Mr.. Lowell conducted
the observations in person, nor by the
expedition in the Andes. working I'M
der Mr.. Lowell's direction, was any
new evidence upon this important point
obtained. The notion has been held
for several years, but rests upon pure
gueSSwork.

War Talk and Peace Whispers.

On the first Monday Of September a
few orators at labor meetings in this
country referred in most cautious and
inefficient way to the principle of arbi-
tration as. IN alternative to war be-
tween capital and labor Nowhere was
there applied to this subject that de-
termined ring of heart conviction usu-
ally heard on the lips Of Labor day
orators. The same day meeting Of
the committee on arbitration at The
Hague peace conference adjourned
without advancing one step.
Turning to the fields on which the
voice of Mars was lifted up on Sept. 2.
there is another story to tell. On Sails
bury plain 10000 English soldiers were
pitted against one another in mimic
warfare. In Berlin Emperor William
II. reviewed the garrison in the pres
ence of delegations from foreign ar
mics and, the news dispatches say,
displayed remarkable satisfaction at
tuC bcdluSo VI Lie tiOCpo. OpCdhlAS
on the Moroccan situation in Paris,
General Brugere, ex-commander Of the
French army, declared that France is
confronted with a ten year struggle
and the sacrifice of thousands of SOL
diers and hundreds of millions of treas
ure in her attempt to pacify the Moors.
No one doubts that France will 60
ahead just the same or that the Eng
lish and German troops will be rushed
from the drill aud parade grounds to
the field Of battle at a moments notice.
On the other hand, the one who says
that arbitration shall become the es-
cape gap for human greed and pas
sions is laughed at as a dreamer.

Railway Rates Abroad.

~ a comparison OF the railway Of
England and that Of Germany the In
dividualist, published in London, un-
dertakes to show that national rail-
roads are not nearly so prosperous as
roads owned and run as private en-
terprises. 1t appears that in the mat
ter of equipment the British roads
maintain two locomotives for every
hundred miles Of road to one locomo-
tive in Germany and other stock in
proportion. In Germany the railway
traffic has not doubled In thirty years,
while the traffic on German waterways
has increased nearly 400 per cent in
that period. This paper says that the
bulk of the trade of the United King
dom sis carried on under special rates
arrived at by special bargaining be-
tween the trader and the company"
One railway running from London to
the north has 100000 special rates
in operation, according to its general
manager. To quote:
What is tine aim Of the railway men in
exerting themselves in this way? It is to
promote movcment-to find out q price at
which business can be done. to fix terms.
as to credit and so on, which can wisely
be made. and so to generate traffic and
to make commerce flow How could state
officials undertake such duties? They in
volve sagacity. initiative, zeal, CONNER
cial motive. spirit Of adventure. traits no.
toriously absent from the official mind
and ye: of vital Importance to the promo
ton ana maintenance of business. Com
mercial railways mean the continual re-
moval of natural obstacles, until all dis
trictS of the country are brought into
competition with each other as nearly as
possible on equal terms, thus continually
cheapening commodities and improving
production National railways mean the
perpetuation of such obstacles in order
ical advantages Of each district-in fact,
commercial railways mean progress. ma
tional railways stagnation. Who can
measure the difference?
In conclusion the editor maintains
that the abolition Of special rates on
British railways would mean that the
free energies of the railroad man in
cooperating with the trader would
cease to operate in hundreds Of mil
lions of transactions every year.
