Use Of Microscope in Unique Test

The United States bureau of chemistry has found that the microscope may be used to excel lent advantage in the examination of food and drug products for the discovery of adulterants. This is a new idea and large amount of work has been done in the application of the micro scope to analytical work, but there are cer- tain parts of the field yet untouched Mi croscopic tests have become an important ad- junct to the testtube and blast-lamp methods of analytical work.
 As example of the use of the microscope. a case recently brought to the attention of the bureau of chemistry was sample of celery seed adulterated with nearly 40 per cent of powdered rock. This adulteration was of such a character as would easily escape the notice of the ordinary buyer. The usefulness of the simple magnifer in examining food and drug materials, however, is limited and recourse must be had to the compound microscope for the examination of the products which are made up of small articles

 MUCH UP AGAINST IT.
Old Ladys Description of Ills Some
 what Confusing.

Mrs. Rhoda Holmes Nichols, the ar. list who spends the summer at Glou. cester, Mass, where she teaches a numerous sketch class, tells of an old woman who lives on the out skirts of the town and whom she has known for number of years. The old lady has often been sketched by the students of Mrs. Nichols class, and is known to them and to every body else as Aunt Sally.
 When Mrs Nichols went to Glou- cester this year she called at the quaint little cottage and found the old woman rather more bent than last year and looking a good deal older as she tottered along her little garden leaning on stick.
 Well, Aunt Sally" said the artist, "how have you been since last sum- mer?"
 "Oh, not very we'll" she replied, shaking her head, mot very we'll"
 "Is the rheumatism still bad?"
 "Oh, yes, miss, it's that bad nowa- days l cant set and 1 cant scarcely lay"

Commercial starches can be identified with considerable accuracy by means of the mi croscope The examination of spices forms an. other interesting application of this method of food analysis. In coffee and chocolate prep arations roasted chcory cereals, and peas in the case of the former and starchy materials and cocoa shells in the case of the latter can be detected by means of the microscope.
 Thickeners used in the production of ar tificial jeles, jams, and other confections can be more or less easily detected by microscopic tests. The thickener materials are gelatin starch, agar-agar, gum tragacanth and gum arabic. Another example of microscopic ex- animation is the detection of flowers of which honey is made. This is of practical value in the analysis of honeys purporting to be from certain flowers. detailed description of how the microscope comes to the aid of the chemist when he endeayors to detect fraud in food and food products is given in the year book of the department of agriculture.

z REMAINS THE SAME.
 We'll SreWed Postum Always Palatable

The favour of Postum, when boiled according to directions, is always the same-mild, distinctive, and palatable. It contains no harmful substance like caffeine, the drug in coffee, and hence may be used with benefit at all times.
 Believing that coffee was the cause of my torpid liver, sick headache and misery in many ways" writes an Ind lady, T quit and bought package of Postum about a year ago.
 My husband and I have been so well pleased that we have continued to drink Postum ever since. We like the taste of Postum better than coffee. as it has always the same pleasant favour, while coffee changes it's taste with about every new combination or blend.
 Since using Postum I have had no more attacks of gall collie, the heavi- ness has left my chest, and the old, common, everyday headache is thing unknown" There's a Reason"

As a road builder Napoleon was almost as famous as he was as a military genius. The roads of France are the best in the world in- augaurated and many of them planned and built by the little corporal. One of the illus tratiors shows road in southern France where mountain is tunneled and the side of the road walled up with masonry. This road is one of the sights of southern France. It proved splendid investment and is visited by thou sands of people every year.
 In Norway and Sweden many of the roads are built by blasting out shelf from the solid rock What is true of Norway and Sweden is equally true of Switzerland, where the roads are uniformly good and the admiration of every traveller.
 In faraway Australia and New Zealand splen- did roads abound, while in own great coun- try less than eight per cent. of the roads are permanently improved! There is reason We have been working upon the wrong plan. We have treated the roads as purely local and not a general proposition. Highway conditions influence market conditions and this touches everyone. The roads abroad are generally good because the central government helped to build them. The steps to take here to solve this question are first state and next national aid, and not put the whole expense on the township or road district.
 In colonial times there were few cities of any size and most people producers of what they consumed The spinning wheel was to be found in their home and many hand looms in every community. The "homespun" pre- vailed. There was very little travel from one community to another. Many persons were born, grew old and passed away without going 20 miles from their birthplace. Produce was largely matter of barter and exchange be- tween neighbors. There was no telegraph, no railroads, few newspapers and an uncertain and intermittent mail service. Postage was from five to ten times the present rate and consequently there was little correspondence The several communities were sef-contained; their interest and business was usually bounded by the horizon. How natural then that the public roads should have only a local signifi- canoe. Under such conditions what interest could the rest of the world have in them? The concept that the roads belonged to those that used them and it was their duty to care for them was the logical sequence of the times
 When the railways came and spread over the country, and cities were built where the wild flowers grew, the factory plan came in and relegated the spinning wheel and hand loom

as q basis of circulation. The government needs roads, The rural mail service is costing now S35 GOO 900 per year. It will soon cost $50, OO0, ,0O0 With good roads everywhere good service can be performed at a saving of 20 per cent. This meazis saving of ST,o00.00o to S10,000,000 per year in the cost of the ser vice and this would pay tIe interest on a very large sum of money.
 The government has the right under the constitution to build roads or help build them. It needs them to use and it has almost un- limited ability to help build them. If the gov ernment were to issue s400,000,0 900 of two per cent. bonds to assist the states in building roads that are used for rural mail delivery, say in paying onefourth of the cost. the sum would be sufficient for the purpose and the saving in rural delivery alone would pay the interest on the bonds While the government would save from $7,000,000 to S100000 000 the people would save Sl50000.000 to s200 900 900 by good roads. The great need of this country to put it on par with other countries in the matter of transportation is good country roads.

of distribution has grown up by which food and other products shipped half way around the world from where they are grown. The cost of this distribution is prime factor in determining the market value of everything of this nature. It all must pass over country highways in order to reach the consumer, the facility and cost of performing this service is in a large degree determined by the physical condition of the highways. Therefore within a few decades roads purely local matter has grown into of state and national inn portance The former conception is giving way; the progressive states have taken up and taking up the subject of interest
 Under the conditions the state recog- nizes it's duty to the highways. State aid in road building is the result. The next and final step is national aid to supplement state aid.
 Let us see by a comparison to what degree our own country is able to assist in road build ing How better this be done than by pairing the government debt and interest charge per capita? Let us do so.
 The national debt of France per person is $144; England, $SSs3; Germany S49; Italy, $S2; Spain $9S; Australia $27S; United States $1111. While every Frenchman has $605 in- terest to pay per year we have 29 cents.
 Strange it may seem this country needs larger debt. There is dearth of good se curities. More government bonds are needed

WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS
 TO THE BUYER

Few people realize the importan of the words Trade Mark" stamped on the goods they buy. If they did it would save them many a dollar spent for worthless goods and put a lot of interruptions manufacturers out of the business.
 When a manufacturer adopts trade mark he assumes the entire re- sponsibility for the merit of his prod uct. He takes his business repu- tion in his hands-out in the lime light-"on the square" with the buy CT of his goods, with the dealer. and with himself.
 The other manufacturer-the one who holds out inducements" offer ing to brand all goods purchased with each local dealers brand - sidesteps responsibility, and when these tufe- rior goods come back it's the local dealer that must pay the penalty.
 A good example of the kind Of pro teetion afforded the public by trade mark is that offered in connection with National Lead Companys adver- Using of pure White Lead as the best paint material.
 That the Dutch Boy Painter trade mark is an absolute guaranty of puri- ty in White Lead is proved to the most skeptical by the offer National Lead Company make to send free to any address a blow-pipe and instruc- tions how to test the white lead for themselves. The testing outfit is be- ing sent out from the New York office of the company, Woodbridge Ruilding

His Devotion to Duty Rewarded by
 Strange Luxuries.

A Boston bulldog owned by George H. Clapp was so determined to cap ture a woodchuck which he had chased into it's den that he followed after and staid in the hole all night
 When the dog had got his jaws about the enemy he found that he could not get out owing to the small size of the animals hole
 Rather than lose his prey the dog retained his hold on the woodchuck over night, and was helped out by his master in the morning. The dog was nearly exhausted and revived after feeding and drinking in a curious man. her.
 He consumed about two quarts of unguarded ice cream, which had been set aside for a party, and capped the climax by falling into bucket of lem onade.-Worcester (Mass.) Telegram.
