Boulder Creek. Cal, May 5-Maud
Lord Drake who has spiritualistic
tendencies and calls herself a. human
seismograph, predicts that a disaster
of dire proportions is imminent some
where on this continent. She de-
clares that she foretold the Galveston
tidal wave and the San Francisco
earthquake and warned the inhabit-
ants of both these cities weeks before
hand that destruction was upon them.
She also lays claim to a forewarning
of the Slocum disaster. the Colling-

cent series of earthquakes in foreign

THE VALUE OF PROPRIETARY
MEDICINES

is proven by the very large percentage
of physicians prescriptions for the
same remedies found in every drug
store in America, but as they are
written in Latin, few patients realize
this fact.
The old standard proprietary medi-
cines like Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, that have stood the
test Of time, deserve a place in every
family medicine chest, and it is most
certain they would not be prescribed
by physicians if they were able to de-
wise formula equally as efficacious.

There is no doubt that the editorial
profession would gladly welcome Presi-
dent Eliot into its ranks, if he should
decide to take up that kind Of work.
And with al due respect to the noted
man who has just entered journalism, he
would be vastly better accession to the
ranks than Theodore Roosevelt. The
latter is not the most satisfactory writ
er Of current matters; be is Of the too
violent and bristling kind TO secure the
open mind Of his readers. However,
there is not much chance of Eliot's be-
coming a journalist, unless il be that
he accepts more or less detached con.

the daily newspaper field would probably
be too persistent in its demands.
