SOME DANGERS OF ARSENIC

You no doubt have observed
the lily white complexion of some
women. These women are sacrifc-
ing years of their lives for that
beautiful skin by the use of arsenic
said d. V. Duvall a chemist of
Manchester, England.
1T is a well know fact that
thousands of women in all countries
of the world use the poison in
small quantities TO bleach their
skin. 1t is an effective meal of
whitening and clearing the COM
plexion, but the complexion given
by its use has no permanency unless
the ASSERTION of the drug be con-
tinued.
arsenic, as science has long told
us, is an accumulative poison. When
n takes it either by prescription
for the building of an appetite or
for the bleaching cf the skin he
does not feel any i'll effects for
several years. The effect Of the
drug is bracing and makes a person
feel like eating. 1t also aids the
digestion. The average user of
the poison takes it in such small
quantities that he does not realize
how much of it will accumulate in
his system in the course of four or
five years.
Being an accumulative poison
it often takes that length of time
to see the results of the drug.
Then the user may complain of
not being abe TO control his fingers
or toes. Subsequently he loses
control of his hands and aims.
Arsenical poisoning is the result.
Five years ago in Manchester
there was an epidemic of
paralysis. Several thousands of
persons were stricken. Several
hundred died and the medical
profession of England made a
thorough investigation Of the
malady and traced it to beer. The
investigation discovered that the
brewers were using glucose in the
brewing of their product. which
vas found to contain a small
quantity of arsenic. This drug
imbibed in small quantities in
beer, had gradually accumulated
in the bodies of thousands of
parsons. had impoverished their
blood and left a great percentage
of them helpless. Washington

SMOKING MERRIHUANi'

Water bugs and worms are
among the tidbits in which the
Mexican peon delights. He catches
his bugs as they swim along the top
of fresh water ponds, drying them
and then eating them with as much
zest as an American boy eats
peanuts. As @ a as the peon can
explain it, their flavor is something
on the order of the chestnut, but as
no white man has ever tried eating
water bugs, or if he has doesn't
dare confess *, the exact taste of
these Mexican morsels can't be
described very accurately.
The poems dote too on the nice,
fat pulque worm. This insect is
about two inches long and half an
inch thick. They fry the dainty in
grease and pack il in brown paper
packages of a dozen worms, which
fetch 2 cents a paper. An in
dustrious pulque worm collector
makes a good living.
The worm inhabits the magucy

|ANAUITlES AND OLD-AGE
PENSIONS IN OLD CANADA

Canada established postal savings
banks forty years ago and now has
about a hundred and sixty thousand
eepositors in such banks, with
forty-fve million dollars 70 their

Dominion government began writ

He may pay in ten dollars a year
and receive an annuity of a

Four dollars and seventy-tive cents
