intensive FARMING NEEDED.
FRON OTHER PENS
AN EXCELLENT WAR

Suits are about to be begun at
Washington under the pure food law
against the manufacturers of certain
patent medicines. The charge will be
that they promise rimpossibilities in
order to sell their wares. and thus are
seeking to get money under false pre-
lenses.
Some of these audacious traders on
human credulity say that their nos
trums will cure all diseases. Every
body ought to know that that must
be lie, but there are simpletons who
do not.
Other manufacturers allege that
their compounds viii cure certain all
ments which, as medical men know,
can not be cured by the drugs used.
The malady may indeed be aggravated
by them. The men whose industry, so
profitable to themselves and SO hurtful
to the public, is to be attacked have
a defense in readiness. 1t is that
it is not unlawful to lie as regards the
effects of their remedies All that they
are obliged to do, they will allege, is
to specify the ingredients. They hope
this plea will be strong enough to en-
able them to continue to defraud cred
"sure cure at so much per bottle or
dozen bottles.
If the trade of these arrant deceiv-
ers can be broken up as far as inter
state business is concerned, much will
be gained, and if the states shall fol-
low suit, still more. There are lies
which no law can prohibit and no
court punish, but that patent medicine
living which imperils life and health
can not be classed among the venal
alsehoods.-Chicag Tribune.

1t appears that London, England, is
a good place in which to refrain from
killing ones wife. Two noted wife
killers of that burg have gotten th=
worst of it. Hon. William Sykes was
written up by Dickens, and DIR. Grip
pen was sentenced to death by the
chief justice of that bailiwick.

SANITARY CURRENCY.

The complaint of most people is not
that the currency, which leaves them
about as fast as it comes to them-gone
they know not whither-is, or may be-
insanitary. but that they Go not have
enough of it. Even the most fastidious
would prefer the dingiest, dirtiest, mi
crobe-infested $40 bill to a clean, crisp,
cracking, warranted pure SIS bill.
Lucre, no matter how filthy it may be,
retains undimiaished its power to
please.
But if there can beno increase in the
quantity of everybody's supply of cur
rency, an improvement in quality
would be the next best thing. Also, 1T
can be managed with less difficulty.
There are too many haggard, frowzy,
almost illegible bills in circulation.
While we may dismiss from our mind
the stories that dirty bills are not dan
gerous carriers of disease, they are not
pleasant to paw over by persons with
delicate sensibilities and clean hands.
The life of a banknote should be a
short one. The moment that it shows
signs of having been spotted by contact
with the world, it should be hurried
back to the treasury department. If it
can be washed and given back its
pristine purity, well and good. If not,
it should be cremated.-Chicago Tri-
h11up
