 ToothpickD were in commea use in ancient Rome. Sometimes they were made of Quills. but preferably of the wood of the mastic or lentisk tree, whose astringent and aromatic gum Is knowu to modern dentistry. Martials epigrams frequently mention the den dscalpium. or toOthpick. and recon mend the wooden kind above the quill. The toothpick was taken to England by travellers from Italy and France.

This Is an error, however, for there are two others In Italy and several in other European cities.

Mad Ooos,

Mad dogs do not attack people, "When dog has the rabies," said q physician, he has lost control of his body, and what he does Is mechanical. Ills jaws snap inyoluntarily, and if he encounters any object, whether anI- mate or inanimate. he Is likely to bite It. But a mad dog does not attack as does an angry dog. He does not pick out victim or use any strategy. For this reason dogs suffering from rabies are less dangerous than Is supposed. all he has to do Is to get out of tha way. The dog will not chase him. Of course, young children are in danger. as they do not know how to dodge tho brute"

iH the Northern Lumber Camps, Government Bac= astrological Expert Says MuC0=SOlyent Kills the Diphtheria and Ty=
 phoid Germs

Br. Nn. (. BOteler, editor Tn chief of the North American Re- view, and one of the most eminent authorities in this country on dis treatment of the mucous mem branes, says editorially in the Re- view: Solvent is especially valuable in grip, diphtheria, croup, scarlet fever, pharnygitis, etc, and when given in the incipieney of grip, |diphtheria, crOup or scarlet lever reduces the mortality to zero.
 Muco-Solvent is used by the med ical department of the Northwest ern University of Kansas, and has been used extensively this winter by the city physicians Of Kansas City.
 Readers of this paper should take notice:
 find in Polar. Winnecone, Grantsburg-towns in Wisconsin, deaths from diphtheria were occur ring daily-in Polar, a town of only 395 inhabitants. 54 were stricken with diphtheria and averaging a death daily Muco Solvent was then Introduced and the deaths came to an end.
 The result of the tests serve to show that Muco-Solvent effectually kills all germs that find special lodgment in the mucous mem- branes. s3sM
 For the benefit of he reader it is perhaps best to name some Of the complaints indicated by diseased membranous conditions. Here arg some of them:
 Coughs colds, Grip. Coryza, Ca tarrh of the Head Intestinal Ca tarrh, Group. Receding Gus, Uter- inc Difficulties, etc. (ln uterine difficulties Muco-Solyent is said to be invaluable for use in the douehe.1
 The range of utility Of Muco- Solvent is wider than that Of per haps any other discovery Tn the his tory of man. A mother, for in stance. who has MueoSolyent at hand has an unfailing. infallible remedy to give to baby who in the dead of night coughs and develops feverish indication. If Muco-Solvent is given baby will be safe from croup, whooping cough, diphtheria. scarlet fever, measles, etc.
 A spray of Mueo Solvent into the nostrils clears the head at once. Its effect is simply marvellous. In Hay Fever, for instance, the eff feet is instantaneous and rnancnt for that season.
 People with Grip or Colds should spray the throat and nose and take a dose internally three tines a day. It will be found that as q rule only ss very short treatment will be IT. auired.
 1t does seem taat any mother knowing the remarkable properties of Muco-Solvent is committing an
 closely allied to eriminality when
 fails to keep it on hand at ali
 l<s.
