one OF the abundant products OF com

implies) IS the poisonous gas carbon

practical experiments that one ounce OF
tobacco when smoked IN the form OF
cigarettes gives as much as from one

while the same amount Of tobacco
smoked IN a pipe gives from two and

trace IN Eggs.
/ BOSTON, Oct. 22-Dr Charles W.
Eliot, President Emeritus of Harvard,
( comes out now in q defense of the
vivisection of animals by physicians
and students.
He says: One point which propose
to examine is this: Is truth seeking
in biology commendable even with the
help Of aneStheSia and aSepticism,
/ even when the research must be con-
/ Quoted at the expense of the comfort
or life of animals? The traditional
! idea on this subject has been that
mankind has dominion over every liv-
/ ing thing that livath upon the earth.
! and nay use every living thing as lie
/ pleases for his own advantage. The
subsection of animals to human uses is
considered, indeed, one OF the evi
dences of civilization. Millions of
creatures are killed daily for human
food, the habits and natural joys of
animals are interfered with on an
immense scale by the most humane
people without the slightest compunc-
ton.
Think what it means to millions of
COWS every year that their calves are
killed and Tat uhey themselves are
kept for the most part tied up in
barns,
Think what Indifference to the po-
tentialties OF animal life ana joy the
immense trade in eggs implies.
How absolutely insignificant is tho
number of animals used for expert
mentation in ali the scientific lanora-
tories compared with the daily use of
animal products the world over as food
and clothing for mankind."

An Excellent Recipe for
Obstinate Coughs
9sS9s9G0O0000000SSS00t0O

An obstinate cough Is about as dis
agreeable an ailment as person could
have, and has many dangerous fea-
lures. The battle with such an aggra-
walton can be won within few hours
by utilizing the simple home recipe
given below. Since it was first recon-
mended many have tried it with sur
prisingly prompt results. The recipe
is worth saving:
Granulated Sugar Syrup ...13h or.
Pinex ......... ............... 21e OF.
Take a pint of Granulated Sugar, add
one-half cup water. stir and let boil
just a moment. Put the 21a OF. of
Pinex in a pint bottle and fill it up with
the Syrup. Shake well and take a tea
spoonful every one, two or three hours.
Well corked, 1t keeps perfectly.
The slight cost of preparing this
simple recipe recommends it, in addi-
ton to it's unequaled merits as cough
and cold killer. The Granulated Sugar
used willcost you about cents and the
Pinex 80 cents. The recipe makes a
full pint of cough syrup, enough to last
long time. The same amount of
ready-made cough syrup would cost
you ABOUT Wow
1t is not hard to understand the
effectiveness Of this simple remedy
when the curative qualities of the in
gradients are explained. The Syrup
is an excellent sedative. Pinex is the
most valuable concentrated compound
Of Norway White Pine Extract, and
contains all the natural elements which
make the air of the pine forests so eff
fective in curing membrane diseases.
In making this remedy at home, do
not expect good results by using any of
the weaker pine oils or pine tar prep
arations. Get the real Pinex itself. If
your druggist does not have it, he will
gladly get it for you if you ask him.
This home made article Is also splen-
did for pains in the chest, whooping
cough, hoarseness. bronchial affections
end other throat troubles.

MAKING CAPITALISTS.

I Savings and Loan Association Manu-.
features Capitalists Out Of Wage
s Workers.
The Savings and Loan association is
now ready for business and every SAL
aried and wage working person in the
city should grasp at this opportunity
TO become a capitalist. It has been the
history Of similar associations that the
stock natures in eleven years, thus 80
cents per month paid In natures at
500 in value Of eleven years, the sub
scriber paying only $68. and drawing
S34 profit Ten suca shares mature at
$1,000, and cost only S. per month
while $40 per month will mature twen-
~ shares at $4,000. costing only $1,32o
actually paid in and returning $3.50
profit This Is the savings feature.
Anyone owning stock can borrow to
build and when the, stock Is paid out
ct cancels the loan. This is how the
loan association builds houses for peo-
pie who have always paid rent ana
owned nothing but their recollections
