daily with scores Of applications for the

II Is not too much to say that the
medical profession today no longer be-
lieyes that any drug with a few excep'
tons. like quinine in malaria, mer-
curry and the antitoxins) will cure a
disease as such. Ali that 1t will do Is
so to modify conditions as to help the
body in its fight against disease.
We are no longer content, In the
biting phrase of voltaire, to pour
drugs of which we know little into
bodies Of which we know less" what
will help one patient will harm another,
and what may be beneficial In the
early stage of disease will be useless
or even injurious in later stage.
In the language Of Captain Cutie,
the effect of drug. like "the bearin'
OF an observation" depends on the APP
pication on it." 1t is neither rational
nor safe bllndly to swallow down a
drug which is highly recommended in
a certain disease and expect 1t to do
the rest" There is no such thing as
universal cure for a disease nor even
a remedy which can be relied upon as
"a good thing to take" at any and all
stages Of it.-Dr Woods Hutchinson In
Delineator.

Gaqadia Giaadab.

There was quaint old man in Man.
chester, England. who for many years
went by the unique name Of Gagadig
Gigadab. His original name was John
Smith, and for many years he brooded
over the possibilities of mistaken iden-
tity involved in it. The name figured
frequently in criminal records, and he
became abnormally apprehensiye lest
he might be confused with some OF
the bad John Smiths. At last what he
feared so much actually happened.
One morning the papers reported the
arrest Of an accountant in a bank for
embezzlement, and through some blum
der Of the reporter the identity of the
embezzler was confused with the sub
ject of this article, who was also a
bank accountant Then and there he
determined to assume name like
unto no other ever borne by mortal
man. And in Gagadig Gigadab most
people will agree that he succeeded In
so doing York Tribune.

IenallX Better Off.

The creditors of the ancient king
had become so unpleasantly insistent
that he resolved to put them where
they could trouble him no more. so
he invited them to great banquet,
and when they had feasted and drunk
of his prepared wine he instructed his
servants to convey them to his deepest
dungeons. And the next morning
when he went down to learn whether
his servants had done his bidding his
creditors raised their voices and en-
treated to be set free. But he remon-
strated with them, saying:
my friends, you have no just cause
for complaint. Are you not better OH
in the eye Of the law than ever be-
fore? Any lawyer will tell you that
a secured creditor has an exceptional
cinch." Then he left them and went
on his gladstone way, happy in the
knowledge that he could at last go
through his dominions without being
dunned.- Chicago News.

ly, but is the conclusion arrived at~by
many disinterested observers. The
indianapolis News gives the following
summary of results:
Just now Greene county is much
disturbed over these conditions. The
clubs are comparatively numerous and
positively successful. It is said that
pra ctically any discreet person can
get q drink in them-presumablv on
visitors ticket or some such liberal
arrangement. The Jasonville neigh
borhood is said to consume a carload
of beer a day, and Linton takes from
forty to sixty cases. Naturally, there
is more or less drunkenness, which is
far from satisfactory to the good citi-
zens of county: that voted 'dry'' by
a majority of nearly 5000, as Greene
did" ..~
Similar accounts come from so
many other quarters thatait would re-
Quire vast amount of reliable testi,
mony to controvert them. In conse-
quence it is very easy to see that the
prohibition wavesis receding very rap
idly: it has been demonstrated that
statewide prohibition is a failure

THINGS SAID DURING THE WAR,

THINGS SAID DURING THE WAR.
It, is very interesting to read some
of the things said during the war of
the rebellion, but which have now al
most faded from the memories of
men. The New York Sun reproduces
the following:
Here is what one of the orators
said, and he was minister of the
gospel at that, and hailed from the
loyal state of Iowa:
Ihe American people are ruled by
felons With all his vast armies,
Lincoln has failed! failed! failed!
tailed! And still the moster usurp
er wants more victims for his slaugh-
ter pens: blush that such a felon
should occupy the highest gift of the
people. Perjury and larceny are writ.

OH, YE HYPOcRITS.

No better proof of the failure of the
Caucasian Christian Church of Amer
ica to stand squarely in opposition to
the color line. can be found than the
recent episode in the international
Sunday School Congress, which met
in Washington, D. c., last week. The
Congress is alleged to be meeting
of Sunday school workers from every
land, but the local committee decided
to bar all Afro-Americans Of the Dis
trict of Columbia from the street pa
rade.
Ten thousand Caucasians, East In
dians, Chinese. japanese, Siamese,
Malays, Hawaiians and members Of
various co1ored races, paraded the.

to a large fraction of the race, Just as
it is true of very large number of
both races. So far as the North is
concerned, there is very little differ
ence in the intelligence or mode of
living CT members of the two races, if
we compare individuals of about equal
means of living. It would be hard to
lind, in any part of the United States,
any Afro-Americans who need super
vision and instruction as to sanitary
matters so badly as the miners in the
coal regions of Pennsylvania. Ac-
cording to the testimony of credible
witnesses, the miners live in a condi-
tion. of utter disregard of the rules of
decency or hygiene. The case of the
Afro-American is not a peculiar one;
as a general thing he compares, class
by class, very we'll with his white
neighbors.
The Appeal., 1910-08-20

The most sensible. train of thought
concerning the Reno fight comes from
the Mayor Of Toledo, Ohio:
Some persons talk as if this prize
fight had decided the question of su-
premacy between the black and white
races" he said why, I would not
be surprised if Mr.. Johnson could
whip Tolstoi. Perhaps he could
whip Mr.. Roosevelt. And I have no
doubt that Mr.. Jeffries in his present
battered condition could defeat Book

stacle in the way of the migration of
her citizens to the South?,

In Alabama a man charged with
murder went free because the clerk
of the courts in writing the word
"malice" in the indictment left out
the letter "i." In North Carolina an
enraged citizen shot neighbor
through the breast, intiicting a wound
which resulted in the latter,s death
and his own arrest for murder. A
short time later, however, he was
released from custody. In the indict-
ment the clerk had spelled breast
"b-r-e-s-t. The court held that the
misspelled Indictment was not legal
and freed the prisoner.
