PROPRIETARY
MEDICINE FRAUDS

There have been plenty of them, no
doubt, and they have been vigorously
ccndemned-so vigorously, that every
sort of medicine. the formula of which
is privately owned, is condemned and
pronounced ''unethical' by the Medical
Profession.
Eckman's Alternative deserves atten-
ton, not because it is proprietary
hut because it really has cured many
cases of tuberculosis. If it it a fraud it
needs exposing badly. because a number
of cured Consumptives will need to find
some other reason for being we'll.
Henry Clay said he would rather be
right than be President Is it not better
for Eckman's Alternative TO make cures
than to be ethical?

Texas, from there to Colorado. | became

AZ She Is Spoke.

A very demure little Frenchwoman.
who teaches her native tongue in a
well-known Southern college, learned
recently, under embarrassing circum.
stances, that it is not always safe to
accept as a final standard Of correct
English what one may casually hear.
One night at supper, the president OF
the college announced to the assem-
bled young ladies and teachers that
an informal program would be given
presently in the college chapel.
Turning to the dainty Partisan,
who, in addition to her other accom-.
plishments. plays the piano well, he
said
Perhaps Madame Petit will be SC
good as to assist u.s."
The lady addressed arose, and coy
" replied: Il vii do my durndest
professeur."-New En.land Grocer.

there has not been, the difference be-
tween the foreign and the domestic
car that formerly existed. If the Am
erican engineer is not satisfied with
American materials, all kinds and
grades of foreign materials can now
be produced in stock in the American
market, and at prices commercially
practicable.
The only possible reason for the pur-
chase OF foreign car in this country
today is the same one that leads many
people to buy English clothes and
French hair dyes. There is an idea
prevalent in some quarters that prac-
tically all the cars made in France.
England, Italy, Germany, and Belgium
are as good or better than the better
grades of cars made in this country,
whereas the reverse is really the truth.
Some of the foreign cars that have
lad large sale and vogue in this
country and been accepted without
question as being of the highest grade
were classed as second grade at home.
Taking the good and the bad togeth-
er. the average quality is higher in
this country today than in Europe. 1t
is true that there are more builders
of high grade finely finished cars in
Europe than in this country. But their
combined output is not as great as the
combined output Of the relatively few
similar makers here. On the other
hand, there are practically no cars
built here as rotten" as some OF the
foreign ones.-New York Post.

A LIVE COAL TRICK.
Teaches Natural Law, Yet Has All the
Appearance Of Magic.

Teaches Natural Law, Yet Has All the
Appearance Of Magic.
No one would suppose that it is pos
sible to hold a glowing coal on piece
of linen or cotton without burning the
cloth, but that such can be done Is
easy for any one to prove. and at the
same time the experiment teaches an
important natural law. Every child
knows that the telephone and tele-
graph wires are made Of copper be-
cause that metal is good conductor
Of heat and electricity, which is only
another form Of heat. If poker is
heated in the fire you pick up cloth
to hold the outer end, although it has
not been in the fire, because expert
ence has taught you that the heat is
connected through the metal from the
fire to the outer end.
This experiment with the flaming
coal is based upon this principle and
the additional one that linen and cot
ton are poor conductors of heat. Take
a globe Of copper and draw a piece OF
cloth tightly over it SO that there is
not wrinkle at the top. If the linen
or cotton is closely woven the trick Is
all the more certain. Then, holding
the cloth tightly in place, you can
safely put glowing coal on top OF the
cloth. and. while it burns fiercely. the
cloth will not even be scorched.
The reason Is that the great conduc-
tivity Of the copper draws the heat OF
the coal before it can burn the cloth.
Do not make this experiment with q
good handkerchief first, for if the
cloth is not tightly drawn it may burn,
but take some worthless piece of linen
or muslin, and after you are certain
Of your experience you can astonish
your friends who do not know the Sc
cret.-Washington Post.
