AN HONEST DOCTOR
ADVISED

KTR. SYLVESTER E. SMITH, Room
1tl 2lS, Granite Block, st. Louis, Mo,
writes: "Peruna is the best friend q
sick man can have.
"A few months ago I came here 4 a
wretched condition. Exposure and
dampness had ruined my once robust
health. I had catarrhal affections Of
the bronchial tubes, and for a time there
was a doubt as to my recovery.
"My good honest old doctor advised
me to take Peruna, which I did and in
q short time my health began to i'm
prove very rapidly, the bronchial

Artificial Honey.

Bee keepers in southern Italy are
becoming seriously alarmed at the
perfection which has been attained in
the manufacture of artificial honey.
The West India Committees Circular,
referring to the matter, says that the
process of it's manufacture is a very
simple one and involves the use of
the best quality Of refined sugar and
it's melting and boiling with the adj
dition to it of tartaric acid to the
extent of about one-tenth of one per
cent. Of the weight of the sugar. 1t
must be boiled in an enameled vase,
under pressure for forty-five minutes.
The liquid will then have assumed a
golden color and on cooling will have
che consistency Of ordinary honey. If
q little true honey is mixed with it the
mass will assume the flavor to such
an extent as to be inGistinguishable
from the genuine article.
= Bee keepers are endeayoring to oh.
tain legislation which shall enact that
some substance shall be added to arti-
fetal honey so that it may be distin-
guishable at a glance from the gen.
uine article. On the other hand, it is
claimed that the artificial honey may
be very useful to bee keepers be-
cause by mixing it with inferior, or
unstable honey, a marketable article
may be produced.

discussing the result of his tests,
says:
"This is a question which must

BILE individual who seriously considers
the matter Of eating clean and whole
some food. When we consider the
great number and variety of organ
isms studied in relation to these
cracked mugs the question Of house

perative than ever, and a study OF
| the sanitary conditions in private and
public life would in many instances
furnish startling results.
MANY Of our hotels, public res
taurants and cafes are particular to
see that splendid serving rooms are
provided and deliberately furnished,
which from exterior appearances
seem to be all that could be desired
for the welfare and comfort Of their
guests, but let one go behind the
scenes in many places and note the
changed conditions. The picture may
be entirely different from that eX-
pected.
"The sanitary aspect of refrigera-
tors and iceboEes during hot weather
may develop conditions beyond hui,
man liberation. Why people do not
take better care of these places OF
storage is difficult to say. However,
it is a regrettable factthat many such
places often contain highly objection
able material, and If not intended fo1
immediate use it often contaminates
and ruins the entire contents OF the
iceboX.
I'm concluding it seems highly de:
sirable to eliminate the use of cracked
dishes for the reception of food mate
rails, and to make an appeal for a
more careful observance OF the
known hygienic measures to protect
our food from unnecessary and un'
desirable contamination"
DR.. Pasquale Grillo takes sharp is
sue with DR.. Wiley. "Of course there
are germs in cracked china" he said,
las there are in everything else in the
universe. And it may be that some
of these are bad instead Of good. The
proportion of bad germs to good ones
is as 6 to 1000, OO0,0 900. The bad
germ may kill you; the good ones
may be eaten by the spoonful without
harmful results. A healthy person
will eat many billions a day, or at a
single meal, without getting so much
as a suggestion of the tomac
ache"

BISHOP H. c. POTTER DEAD
Noted Churchman Expires After a
Long Illness at Cooperstown.
Unconscious All Day, He Passed Away
Without Suffering; Wife and
Children at His Side.

Cooperstown, N. Y.-The death of
the Right Rev. Henry Goldman Potter
occurred at his summer home, Fern
leigh, and Immediately the following
signed statement was given out by
the physicians:
Bishop Potter passed very peace
fully away at S.35 p. m. His strength
gradually failed during the past twen-
ty-four hours, and there was no phys
ical suffering"
The death bed was surrounded by
only members of the Potter and Clark
families and the two physicians.
Present were Mrs. Henry c. Potter,
two daughters of the Bishop, Mrs. c.
S. Davidge, of San Francisco, Cal,
and Miss Sarah Potter; the Bishops
son, Alonzo Potter, Of New York, and
three sons of Mrs. Potter, F. Ambrose
Clark, Edward S. Clark, Stephen c..
Clark and Mrs. T. Ambrose Clark,
all of Cooperstown.
1t was on the 23d day Of June that
the present illness came on, heat pros
tration having played a part in the re-
LuEu VI lue mdldOy. IL was NV uAIih
Saturday, the 9th, that the case as
sumed a very serious phase. The
Bishops condition varied for many
days.
Bishop Potter had been Bishop of
New York since 1886. He was elected
Assistant Bishop in September, 1888.
His uncle, the Right Rev. Horatio
Potter, Bishop Of New York, was
then i'll. A few months before he
became the successor of his uncle
Henry G. Potter was invested with
the full powers of Bishop and by the
law of the church as Assistant Bishop
he became Bishop on the death of his
uncle, which occurred while the
nephew was in Spain. on a journey for
the benefit of his health. Coadjutor
Bishop Greer, who succeeds Bishop
Potter, is abroad.
Bishop Potter was born in Science
tady, N. Y, in 1885. His father, the
Rev. DR.. Alonzo Potter, was vice.
president of Union College. The
Bishop was educated at Philadelphia
and in Virginia, and was ordained as
deacon in 1858. He was rector first
of Christ Church, Greensburg, Pa,
and afterwards Of st. Johns Church,
Troy, n Y. Then he became assistant
rector VI Trinity Church, Boston, and
later was chosen as the rector Of
Grace Church, this city, whence he
stepped into the Bishopric.

Passages From President Roose-
yelt's Speech Telling Why He
demands a First Glass Navy

I want a resistless fighting navy,
because it is the most effective guar
antee of peace that this country can
have.
No fight was ever Won yet except
by. hitting, and the n unforglVaDle
offense in any man is to hit soft.
When this nation does have to NJ"
to war, such war will only be
cusable If the nation intends to ham,
mer it's opponent until that opponent
quits fighting.
If war comes at any time in the
future, that administration under
which it comes will indeed be guilty
of folly if it uses the fleet to protect
any port. Let the port be protected
by the Notifications.
The Monroe Doctrine won't be OBJ
served by foreign nations with SUI
ficient strength to disregard 1t, when
once it becomes their interest to dis
regard it, unless we have a navy suf-
icient to make our assertion or the
doctrine good.
If we have a coast defense navy
only we had better at once turn over
the Panama Canal to some stronger
and drawer nation.
1t is very possible that we shall
have to exercise a continually greater
supervision, a continually greater ex-
ercise of the right Of rejection among
immigrants that come hither, and
shall, it may be, take an attitude that
will tend at first to provoke friction.

Washington, D. C.-To those who
leave their Offices eachnoon to snatch
a hasty lunch, the Government has a
word of advice to offer. 1t Is this:
Whenever a restaurateur offers you a
cracked mug and a Clipped, seamy
plate on which food is served, flee 1t
as you would the pestilence. In the
recesses of those cracks Turk thou
sands of bacteria, and they draw no
distinction between the millionaire
employer and his $40 a week steno-
grapher.
The Bureau of Chemistry, at the
head of which Is DR.. Harvey W. WI
ley, has just concluded experiments
on cracked china utensils taken from
the lunch rooms of Washington. The
conditions they find to exist in the
restaurants here are duplicated IN
every big city. In New York and Chi
cago, where trade at 'quick lunch"
establishments is much greater, a far
larger population Of germs is. be-
lieved to have taken up Its abode IN
the cracks and crevices of the table
service.
The examination of the chinaware
by the Government came about as a
result of a crusade being waged
against unhealthful kitchens and
serving rooms in the District of Col
umbia. With the approval of Secre-
tary Wilson and DR.. Wiley the Gov
eminent chemists we're turned loose
on the trail. They discovered mill
ions of germs in the cracks.
DR.. George w. Stiles, bacteriologi-
cal chemist Of the department., had
charge Of the tests. Several dozen
cracked mugs, plates and saucers TAX
en- at random from the counters OF
lunch rooms and from the cafes of
hotels were examined. The result
was that DR.. Stiles discovered twenty
three distinct species of organisms
lurking in the cracks and seams. In
the final test it was found that these
organisms ranged in number from
4S6 to 14,5S0,000 to every square
inch.
Nearly all of the bacteria belonged
to the family of bacillus coli.
The bacillus coli is blamed as the
cause of many infammatory diseases,
among which is appendicitis.
Many of the other bacilli found in
the cracked chinaware are due to un-
clean conditions. These may not be
noticeable, and the kitchens of the
lunch rooms may be clean and spot
less, but the impossibility of cleans
ing the utensils thoroughly when they
are cracked leaves the baCilli to in
crease and multiply.
The presence of the breeders of
disease is just as much a menace to
the girl who has left her typewriter
