Proprietary Medicines Pre-
SCrjbed bv Doctors.

Examination of the formulary de-
partments OF leading drug stores
throughout the country has proved
that very large percentage of the
prescriptions filled for doctors are for
proprietary medicines.
This is because the average doctor
of today is unable to devise prescrip-
tons equally as efficacious.
Such standard remedies as Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound are
prescribed over and over again by fair
minded physicians Throughout the
country.

UNCLE SAM.
The Way Our Nickname 10 Said -

The Way Our Nickname 10 Said q
Have Originated.
This familiar nickname for the emit
ed States is said to have come about In
the following manner:
During the war OF 1912 the United
States government entered into a con.
tract with Ebert Anderson to furnish
supplies to the army. Whenever the
United States buys anything from a
contractor 1t appoints an inspector to
see that the goods are up to the speci-
fications. In this case the government
appointed 4 man by the name Of Sam
uel Wilson. He was q jolly. whole
souied man and was Familiarity known
as Uncle Sam
1t was his duty to inspect every box
and cask that came from Ebert An
derson. the contractor. and II the con-
tents were all right the cargo was
marked with the letters "E. Az. s."
the initials Of the contractor and OF
the United States
The man whose duty 1t was to do
this marking was something Of a Joker.
and when somebody asked him one
day what these letters stood for he
said that they meant Ebert Anderson
and Uncle Sam
Everybody. including Uncle Sam
himself. thought this very good joke.
and by and by 1t got iato print. and
before the end Of the war IL was
known all over the country. and that
Is how the United States received tho
name of Uncle Sam-DeS Moine1 Reg
lister and Leader.

"2.-That an additional nurse be pro-
vided as soon as the work becomes
too great to be satisfactorily handled
by one nurse. which will probably be
in the course OF a few months.

FREE RAW MATERIALS.

I I is difficult to understand why any one not
\ directly concerned in the timber business
should oppose free lumber in the tariff bill.
During the last year we held conferences to

means were discussed as to what should be done
and great fear was felt because of the depletion
of our lumber supply.
Yet here is a chance to get some other coun-
trys natural resources by admitting lumber free

They are like the paper makers who are fighting

Admission of free raw material 10 the country

Opinion


The Government and an Old Debt.
Christian Science Monitor
There Is an interesting bit Of national
politico-fnancial history again brought
into exploitation by the bin of Represen-
tative MurdoclS Of Kansas. in relation TO
recalling the governments surplus on de-
posit with the various states under the
act OF 1896. Il is not believed that the
bill will be passed. although it is con-
ceded that the several states interested
could pay back the money without hard
ship. Il was IN 1885 that as a result Of un-
precedented sales Of public land the United
states treasury found itself in possession
Of an embarrassing surplus. Apparently its
revenues were going to continue TO exceed
by millions Its annual expenditures. In
those days the activities OF the federal
government were confined within compara-
lively narrow limits. Its affairs were at
the high tide OF prosperity On the other
hand, the states had. or felt they had,
many and pressing problems. They were
young: their resources were only becoming
visible. It was not wise policy TO keep
money stored in the national treasury
that could be used for development pur-
invited extravaganza. The way out of an
this was to deposit the surplus with the
several states, in proportion TO their re-
specuye representation in Congress. The
following is an exhibit of the amount
which each state received and the amount
to which It is indebted to the national
treasury at the present time;
