GOOD SENSE
IN THE USE
OF MEDICINE
How Prepared Household REM
edies May Be IntelligentIy
Employed and Proof Of
What One Of Them Has
Accomplished.

There are some who will not employ 4
doctor under any circumstances and
others who argue that we should not so
much as take a simple cough mixture
without calling on medical practitioner
to prescribe it.
As usual the truth lies between the
two extremes and common sense is all
that is required to find il. Safe family
remedies, tried by time aud proved
valuable by experience will always have
their place in the household and there
are constantly occurring instances IN
which they may be properly and intelli-
gently used. A good tonic, safe for nse
without doctors prescription, with
complete directions for taking, such as

Niagara Falls, N. ", Sept. 9. For the
first time the power Of Niagara Falls
Wednesday night was turned back to
illuminate the falls themselves, lights
aggregating l,ll5.0O0000 candle power,
thrown from thiFty-six great lensed re-
Electors, changing the tilmbiing mass Of
water into sparkling cataract Of irri-
descent beauty. Twenty-oue fifteen
inch and fifteen thiry-inch searchlights
set in batteries scattered along the
gorge and the cliffs al Sve ON the Ca
madam side conyerged their rays first
on the American falls, and then on the
Horseshoe AT first the light was white,
but gradually into it crept other hues
until the foaming mass OF water git-
tered with all the soft tints Of the rain
bow. Occasionally all the lights were
turned upward their rays forming a
great colored fan, visible on clear nights
FOL one hundred miles Again they would
converge on the smoke from bomb,
making of it slowly rising pillar Of
constantly changing color.
The lighting win be continued for
thirty days, and in all probability per-
manentlv.
A startling tragedy occurred on the
upper steel arch bridge shortly after nine
o'clock. Hundreds Of people had gone
ont on the bridge to get an unobstructed
view of the falls under the searchlights.

leaped on the railing, stood poised. for
