In Taking Remedies Know What You
 Are Taking
However. Not Applicable When Pre-
 scribed by Reputable Physician.

The celebrated Dr. Stedman IT. 'Everybody's Magazine" once stated ''The greatest foe to health is the pernicious habit of self-druggins. producers and laxatives are con- stunned by the ton. One may get re- lief but is again driven back to his drug, needing larger and larger doses, until habit is created.
 The nerve exhausted and sleepless should never seek relief from Sopori- f1cs (sedatives) and Alcohol. The poor shattered nerves are calling only from the wasted tissue-the clearance of the vital canals from clogging pois- ons."
 Dr. Stednan further wrote that pure air. good plain food, the health full stimulus of the bath and mod crate exercise, with the NATURAL BLOOD and NERVE FOOD, BIO- PLASM, (which is not drug and can- not form habt) will do more to banish the need for drugs and alcohol than all else. BIOPLASM alone is 8 watchful guardian and corrector of body negligence. It is basic to life. :"
 When Dr. Stedman wrote this ard- c1e BIOPLASM was sold only through physicians It's discoverer. also being a. high-class ethiacl practitioner pre- cluded selling direct to the public.
 While there have been no changes ir the ingredients and the care taken
  in strict accordance with tho original formula-the policy of marketing has been somewhat amended.
 It is slow process to reach the public entirely through the medical profession therefore the present man agement of the Bioplasm Manufac- turing Company has concluded to per init ailing people to purchase BfO- PLASM direct. If your druggist can not supply you. call or send to The Lee & Osgood Co.,. of this city.
 We would be pleased to mail a. copy of a complete story of BIOPLASM (Bower) with detailed experiences of many eminent physicians in it's use. Address Bioplasm Mfg. Company, s4 John street, New York City.
 Note: A milk laxative like SAL LITHIN should be taken occasionally during treatment Your druggist will give you complimentary a full size bot tie of SAL-LITHIN with purchase Of first bottle O. Biop1asm on request.

Such q wealth of unexceIled acting

POETRY
THE ROADWAY OF MY HnAnu


 A big road circles round the world,
 sure fine it is and gay, But the little boreen of my heart runs
 lone and far away;
 sigh beset But. oh of all the roads I knax it is
 the sweetest yet. By common ways and common graves
 and common homes it goes; But, oh, its beauty no one but the soul
 within me knows; Its dawns are drenched with dews from
 heaven. its nights are fearful And sometime es One long cruciaed It leads me down by purple hills
 where fairies sport of nights, It shows me many a hawthorn lanes r the scene of dead delights;
 faces laid away Beneath the cold of grass and moulA,
 my road of yesterday. Oh, twilit boreen of my heart the But you are holy with the balm Of all
 my haIlowed past: ou thrill me with the touch Of hands
 my hands were wont to hold You lure with the Hit of dreams !
 dreamed and lost of old. The big road of the world leads on by
 many stately town, But the little boreen of my heart keeps
 ever drifting down By common ways and common graves
 and common homes. but, oh, Of all the roads in life it Is the sweet
 est road know. T. C. Brayton, in Rosary Magazine.

Special Lenten Feature at the Audito-
 riurn This Week.

The Auditorium has secured for the first three days of this week the most appropriate feature possible, The Cru saders. The contrast between this beautiful adaptation of Tassos epic poem, Jerusalem Delivered. and some of the so- called criminal "features'' is most vivid. The management wishes to state that there is nothing in the entire 1000 feet of this picture to of fend any denomination as the film Is not based on the Bible, but upon his- tory, and if anyone cares to look 1t up they will find 1t all if they look for the Crusaders of 11s9, headed by God frey De BoulIion and Richard Occur De Leon who captured the Holy City from the Turks. This film Is even more magnificent than the famous Fall of Troy and cost over $50,000 and more than a year to produce.
 The vaudeville features are headed by the most famous sketch in America, entitled, The End of the World. This sl0stch was first presented by David

NOW THE CHOLERA SERUM.

The word cholera conveys little
terror to the present-day citizen of
New York. But to those whose mem
cries reach back fifteen or twenty
years the mere name of the malady
is horrible, for cholera has more
than once knocked at the city's gates
and spread panic through the whole
community. Such a thing can hap
pen again, and it is for this reason
that the news that an anti-cholera
serum has been discovered at the
Pasteur Institute is of direct interest
to every New Yorker.
No claims are made as yet for the
new serum, but the fact that the an
nouncement is made by the director
of the Pasteur Institute gives it the
weight of authority. With small
pox, diphtheria and cholera robbed
of their terrors; with tuberculosis
comfortable by preventive measures,
great and valuable safeguards have
been thrown by science about human
life, says the New York American.
Scarlet fever still remains a deadly
menace to child life. and the more
deadly infantile paralysis is still lit
tie understood. But in thousands of
laboratories devoted, able men are
performing herculean labor of in
yestigation and experiment, and the

FACTS AND COMMENT on
FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS
b. 4. Forbes Comments on Stock En-
change Methods in New lork
and Foreign Cities.

In this country you have to put up
your money before a stock exchange
broker will buy securities for you,
and the broker. in turn. has to settle
his accounts with other brokers every
day.
On the London stock exchange and
on the Paris Bourse there is not n
daily settlement of accounts. but
only one every fortnight.
Among the ~variegated reeommen-
dation made to the Washington legis-
lators handling the currency prob
lem is one that American stock ex-
changes should adopt the fortnight
" settlement plan.
Our stock exchanges should do
nothing Of the kind, For these plain
reasons:
/. Daily settlements eonduce to
reduction of risk.
.. Fortnightly settlements en-
courage venturesome speculation and
entail numerous failures.
3. Settlements made only BIZ
monthly entail frequent strains upon
delicate money markets, causing dis
turbanee to business.
4. In times of stress each fort
nightly settlement is a nightmare.
5. Americans are prone enough
to speculate rashly even when 1t Is a
case of money first" If they were
given two weeks in which to gamble
they would often incur such liabili-
ties that they would be unable to pay
Up when the cay of reckoning came.
The existing machinery for effect
ing settlements on the New York
stock exchange Is one of the sound

organization. Leave it alone.
The main thing remaining for the

get better acquainted with it, with
its many admirable rules, with It's

WHAT Is MEANT BY EUGENCS.

Cardinal Gibbons characterized
eugenics as a fad which will Ass

doing he expresses the growing be-
