of whiskeys should prove unacceptable. tne
plan might be tried of rating them according
TO their visible and sensible effects upon those
using them. Such q classification would not
only help the public materially in the purchase
of whiskey, but also make possible far finer,
more exact distinctions than the old or the
new system does. Chemical descriptions would
be superseded by psychological ones. Not being
experts on the subject, we shall not try to
force any detailed classification of our own
make upon the federal officials but we would
like to suggest to them the kind of distinc-
tions and labels they should require
The whiskey that induced the late Colonel
Robert G. IngersOll TO pronounce his famous
eulOgy upon the drink ought to stand in a
class by itself; a psychological analysis Of it
shows it to contain the highest known per
centage Of liquid dreams and elOqUence and
the smallest possible percentage of repentance.
A somewhat lower grade is found in the whis-
key which needs the assistance of soda to
bring out its virtues. Then there are the fish
story grade. the -with-tyrants grade and
the simple dOwn-grade whiskey. to say nothing
of several dozen sorts whose distinguishing pc
culiarities are unknown to all save experts.
Surely If the government would label all of
these according to their works, much OF the
prOmlscuous agitation against whiskey-in-the-
abstract would soon cease. and whiskey-in-the-
concrete would be used with the same exact
ness that characterizes the use of medicine

Curious Results When Coffee Drink.

1t IS almost as hard for an ola
coffee topper to quit the use of coffee
as it is for whiskey or tobacco fend
to break off, except that the coffee
user can quit coffee and take up
Postum without any feeling of loss
of the morning beverage, for when
Postum is we'll boiled and served with
cream, it is really better in point Of
favour than most of the coffee served
nowadays, and to the taste of the con-
noisseur it is like the favour of fine
mild Java.
A great transformation takes place
in the body within ten days or two
weeks after coffee is left of and
Postum used, for the reason that the
poison to the nerves. affeine-h has
been discontinued and in its place is
taken liquid food that contains the
most powerful elements of nourish-
ment.

TERROR OF SUMMER BOARDER.
However, the Poison Ivy is Not
Utterly Without Merit.

There are fe,- summer boarders in
the eastern part of America who are
not familiar with the common poison
ivy-its sinister three-hngered leaves
creeping alongside the harmless five
fingered woodbine Or Virginia creep
er. Some persons are immune, and
others are so susceptible that the
wind will carry the poisonous vapor
and bring discomfort without con-
tact with the plant ITSELF.
Cows and horses feed with impu-
nifty upon the vine, but it is terribly
poisonous to dogs, producing convul-
sions which result in death. A yOla<
tile substance which forms ealts
when combined with alkalies has
been isolated from the leaves, known
as toxicodendric acid. This resem-
bles formic acid, and is the source Of
the poisoning. More interesting to
the many sufferers is the fact that a
certain cure for the painful skin
blisters is found in solution of po-
tassium permanganate.
This blistering effect on the skin
was taken advantage of by old-time
doctors and administered in cases of
skin disease. One reads that in 1910
the poison ivy was introduced into
England a.-d in 1898 was used as a
medicir in Europe. Even before
this, the juice of the plant had been
used as marking ink, and is to-day
widely employed for that purpose. 1t
resists soap, acids, alkalies and
bleaching powders, and yields only
to ether. So when the nature writer
is out in the wilds, away from stores
and human dwellings, and his ink
gives out, splendid substitute may
be found in the juice of the poison
ivy-wLich will guarantee the physl-
cal permanence of the record of his
observations-if not the veracity Of
the facts themselves. Another COM
mercial use for the juice of this plant
is in the manufacture Of a blacking
fluid for boots and shoes.-NeW York

Modern agriculture dates from the
work of the great scientist, Liebig,
who lived during the first half Of the
nineteenth century. His investiga-
lions and research work, regarding
soils, renewal of soil fertility and the
relations between plant life and the
soil, have done more for agriculture
than the discoveries and researches
of any other natural scientist in the
past-fifty years.
