SHOP EARLY, Do It NOW,
SLOGANS OF MERCHANTS
Advantages of Making Imme-
date Christmas Purchases
Are Pointed Out.

Members of the RETAIL Merchants AS
ISOLATION are shouting two slogans these
days, according to statements made last
night by Secretary Charles J. Columbus
one is do Your Christmas Shopping
Early, and the other is DO 1t Now
The merchants say that if the people of
Washington will follow the advice given
in either of the slogans they will be able
to make much better Christmas pur-
chases. There will be a larger assort-
ment of stock to select from. they say.
and the store employees will have more

This movement is logically a univer-
sally popular one. since il is in the in

of the examining corps of the office have
been given a written competitive exam

HUGE INCREASES SHOWN
IN AMERICAN EXPORTS
Balance of Trade With Various Ma

Enormous increases IN almost every
class OF goods are shown by figures on
the exports of the United States during
the first nine months Of 1913. Just pro-

Commerce. Although there was an in

materials under this head are still APP
proximately 10000, 900 less than in 1912
No explanation is contained in the report
as to the reason for this falling off in the
exports of these products.
There was an increase of more than
1000. 600 in the United States exports
of "foodstufs partly or wholly manufac-

WARNING TO PARENTS.

II is risky to feed raw milk
and cream to children or inva-
lids unless you are sure that at
the farm which produces I h
milk the utmost cleanliness ID
observed at all times. particu-
iarly during milking. that the
employees are thoroughly healthy
and clearly persons, that the
cows are free from diseases.
that the water used for rinsing
is OF undoubted purity. and that
the milk is quickly cooled and
kept cold and covered until de-
livered to YOU.
Raw milk often produces tu-
berculosis. scarlet fever. also
typhoid and other Intestinal dis
eases.
We can guard against infec-
ton by properly pasteurizing
milk or by home pasteurization.
Properly pasteurizlng milk
tand creamy by keeping it at 145
deg. +. for thirty minutes does
not affect its nutritiye value
nor its digesubility.
The best system is TO pasteur-
fzs the milk after 1t has been
bottled.
You can home pasteurize raw
milk by heating 1t to near boil
ing, then cool. and keep cold
and covered until used.

History of Poisoning.

DIR. Wilbert reviews the recent history
OF poisoning by this medium. He writes:
Some months since an alleged case of
accidental poisoning by corrosive mer-
curic chloride in Macon, Ga was 'fea-
tured' in practically all of the daily pa
pers Of the United States in such way
as To lead the unknown TO infer that
poisoning by this substance guaranteed
not alone a sure but also painless
death.
THE notoriety given this case was fol-
lowed by an apparently unusual number
OF corrosive sublimate fatalities report
ed from the various parts OF the United
States; and the publicity given to the
narrowing details In connection with sew
eral OF the cases was in turn followed
by agitation for legislation on the part
OF some OF the firm believers in the power
Of statute law To right all wrongs and

sible abuses,

from the accidental taking Of tablets

Various Suggestions.

Discussing the various suggestions for

The possible abuse arising from the use

the statement recently made by one of
the agitators for legislation to provide a
distinctive shape for 'antiseptic tablets.

Several Factors Involved.

As the agitation for special !egisla-
ton to restrict or at least regulate the
sale of tablets OF corrosive mercuric
chloride is destined TO be revived by the
supposedly accidental poisoning of
BROOKLYN business man and to continue
for some time to come, il may be OF
advantage to review briefly the several
factors involved. the abuses really es-
listing. the propositions That nave oeeii
made to correct them, the safeguards Al
ready established and the possible ways
and means Of bringing about deslrapte
changes.
While ii will generally be admitted 10
be impracticable TO prevent suicide OF
violent death by law or regulation, 1t IL
nevertheless well recognized that despon-
dent and melancholy humanity Is ever
ready 10 seize upon any suggestions that
offer sure. speedy and painless death. SO
that every report of death, ACCOMPANIED
by the details OF the means and methods
producing IT, can be counted on as an IN
centive for other deaths brought about
in much the same way.
TT is. perhaps. unfor tEuate that tol
the rational study of the prooiem before
us, no definite and satisfactory lnforna-
ton IS available to the conditions
actually existing III our own country. Oul
mortality statistics give only general
death rates and standardized death rates,
without furnishing any. even approx
mate. information regarding the nature OF
the poison used or taken III cases of re
ported fatalities. There is, however
available in the report of the registrar
general Of births. deaths and marriage:
for England and Wales, detailed ac-
count OF the nature and kind of sub
stances used. both in suicides and in &C
cidental deaths, and a careful study of
the tables herewith presented will suffice
to demonstrate the impraCticability of
legislating specifically for any one poison.
