from a considerable distance. as they
are extremely partial to this oil. An

The Pure Food Laws.

Secretary Wilson says, "One of the
obi .cts of the law is to inf orm the con-
sumer of the presence of certain harm-
full drugs in medicines" The law re-
quires that the amount OF chloroform,
opium, morphine, and other habit form.
ng drugs be stated on the label of each
bottle. The manufacturers of Cham
oerlain's Cough Remedy have always
claimed that their remedy did not con-
ain any Of these drugs; and the truth
IS this claim is now fully proven, as no
mention OF them is made on the label.
This remedy Is not only one OF the
safest, but one Of the best in use for
coughs and colds. It's value has been
proven beyond question during the
many years it has been in general use.

Macaulay tho Wit.

During the time when Lord Dis
raeli was startling sober Englishmen
by his eccentricities of dress Lord
Macaulay, that was to be, was cleo
trifying his dull witted constituents
by his witty sallies and repartee.
Having been defeated in 1847, he
ran again for parliament in 1852.
For a change he was the popular
candidate.
One day while standing on the
hustings side by side with his oppo-
nent he was violently struck BY a
dead cat. The man who threw it
Immediately apologized, saying he
had meant the cat for his opponent.
'1ndeed!" said Macaulay. "Then
I wish you had meant it for me and
struck him"

The Clock Plant.

There is a plant, native of
Borneo, which is known as the
"clock plant" The name is derived
from the action of the suns rays on
the leaves, which are three in num-
ber-a large one extending for
ward, with two small ones at the
base pointing sideways. These,
coming in contact with the rays of
the sun, oscillate like the pendulum
of a clock, the larger leaf moving
upward and downward, going its
full length every forty-fve min
utes, the smaller leaves moving CO.
ward the larger, completing the
distance forward and backward
every forty-fve minutes, thus re-
sembling the hour and minute
hands of clock.

-r;uin os the Symbols Used on the
Turkish Flag.


Very ancient are the star and
crescent of the Turkish flag. Their
origin is explained as follows: The
characters of the language of Mes
onotamia, like the Egyptian, were
originally hieroglyphic. One of the
early picture words was a crescent
and a star, and this picture, which
was pronounced "shiptu," was en-
Moved to express an Incarnation or
eyorcism or anything capable of
driving the evil spirit from the
hody Of which it had taken posses
sion. Clay tablets recording the
onc;ent exorcisms have been found
in the ruins of Mesopotamia, and at
the beginning Of such tablets ap-
nears the sign which developed
from the crescent and star. The
symbol therefore may have been
not only the word for incarnation,
Init a charm from which the evil
shirts we're supposed to flee. In
eVery age in the orient the people
II have possessed similar charms. The
II Assvrian kings stationed winged
monsters with forms half human at
their gateways to keep all evil from
entering within the palace. The
poorer people suspended clay tab
fets above the entrances of their
houses. The modern oriental may
purchase in the bazaars blue glass
heads, verses from the Koran wrap
ned in leather cases ard other de-
vices to serve a similar purpose.
The crescent and star formed a
SYMBOL which the Mesopotamian of
5000 years ago employed as a
charm.
Among the early peoples Of Mes
opotaais all Of the hcsUenty
bodies were regarded o. deities, but
the moon, because Of the variety
of the shapes which it assumes,
was the chief Of them al. Special
reverence was therefore paid it and
some of The Oldest and most i'm
portant Of the Babylonian temples,
as at Ur and Haran, were devoted
to its worship. Thus the crescent,
the symbol by which the moon god
was represented, was supposed to
have the power to avert evil, and
then together with the star it form
ed the word for incarnation.
When Babylonia passed into the
hands of the Persians the symbol
appeared upon the coins. From the
PerSians it was transmitted to the
Parthians, the Byzantines, the Ro-
mans and the Greeks. Finally the
Turks, who succeeded in the pos
session of the greater part of the
countries of the ancient world.
adopted it as a device for their
fag.-Chicago News.

FOR A NEW YORK SOJOURN In

The Hotel st. Regis Presents Unsur-

Not all the society people live in New
York, Every other city in America has
it's quota, and today even small towns
and the countryside possess such a con-
tingent. But, practically without excep-
ton. all these people come to New York
at some time or other during the social
season for longer or shorter stays. They
will look for a hotel Of the highest pos
sible grade, with a location and sur
rOundings that are unexceptionable.
Such is the Hotel st. Regis, at Fifth
Avenue and Fifty-fifth Street, built to be
an ideal hotel for the cultured and dis
eliminating. In its construction, furn-
ishings and equipment no pains or expense
was spared to make every feature the
very best of its kind, genuine, solid, sub
s~tantial, a public house that, in the char
acter Of its interior construction and
decorations, its furnishings, its hangings,
its works of art, its cut glass, china and
silver, should be equal to all that people
Of refinement and discrimination would
insist upon in their own homes. As TO
the cuisine Of the st. Regis, II Is enough
to say that II is not exceeded by any
Of the famous hotels or restaurants of
London or Paris; and yet the prices are
no higher than those charged in other
flrst-class hotels. Room rates are cor
