PROTECTING THE PEOPLE.

Experience has shown that too much care cannot be taken for the Srotec- tion of the purchasing public. There are many pitfalls into which they are led which can be avoided and one of them is overcome by the insistence of the govern ment under the Food and Drug acts that medicinal preparations must be properly labeled. That all sorts of claims could be made as to the cura- tive value of preparations for the pur- pose of inducing a sale, whether as a matter of fact there was any chance of good results is a matter of common knowledge. It became in some in- stances a rivalry as to claims and the number of troubles that could be cured by any one of several remedies, but the cure all has run It's. course and by the latest orda-, "A preparation can not be properly designated as 8 spe- cifc, cure, remedy or recommended as infalible, sure, certain, reliable or invaluable. or bear other promises o1 benefit unless the product can as a matter of fact be depended upon to produce the results claimed for it."
 Taking advantage of the gullfbility of a certain number of people is an old story, but 1t Is as important that determined effort should be made to break up swindling in this direction as well as in any other. It is only proper that misrepresentation should be re- moved as much as possible in connec- lion with the sale of medicines. Not 0nly is it bad enough to establish false hopes without Justification when the question of health is concerned, but It is high time that misleading i'm. pressions as to their worth simply te Increase personal profit was stopped.

GETTING SOUTH AMERICAN
 TRADE

That the Investigations which have been made or are underway in behalf of a greater trade between this coun- try and South America are bound to bring forth good fruit is beyond ques- tfon. That the countries in the south ern half of this hemisphere are look ing to other sources than they have been used to for their supplies is evil dent, and it Is equally true that they are Adesirous of entering into better trade relations with this country, but it is also evident that before such can be carried on very extensively there must be better financial arrange ments.
 As has been said, it doesn't require any great ability to go to South Amer ica and sell goods, but it must not
 be expected that steamship loads of goods can be taken into. the ports of that continent and be exchanged for cash. We do not possess the advan- tages of the financial exchange which European countries had and upon which they developed their business. This is no new revelation which has been made by Investigating commit tees. It existed before the war and
 was one of the handicaps against which this country was trying to do business there.
 Thus it becomes quite evident that as transportation facilities are neces- sary for the development of new re- gions, so is 1t important that a sys- tenn of financial exchange be insti- tuted with those countries if stimu- lation of business is desired or ex- pected. With the requirements dis closed the setting into motion of the details of plan of action ought to be instrumental in bringing results. American enterprise should be suffi- cient to meet the exigency.

At the same time millions in gold have been sent to ConstantinopIe from Ger many and a long trainload of war mu- nitions destined for Turkey has been held up in Roumania. This with the giving of orders to the head of the Greek church to depart adds to the interest which surrounds the actions of that country
 Upon the position which Turkey finally takes depends the course of several others in that troublesome neighborhood. It might be supposed that Turkey was destined to gain the most by remaining out of any further wars at this time, but pressure in be- half of trouble is likely to carry more weight there just at the present time than influences in behalf of neutrality.

WHAT WILL TURKEY DO?

Just what Turkey has been prepar- lnS for has been a matter of uncer- tainty for some time. Reports as to It's readiness to enter the war have been followed by contradictions, still ;here has been an activity along cer- sair lines which made 1t evident that conditions were by no means normal hcre
 Both sides have been exerting their Influence for the good graces of that empire in tie present struggle, either 'y participation or rrcainirg out of he conflict and thus far Turkey has maintained neutrality in so far as it ,as not entered into active participa- jon. What it has in mind for the fu- Jre can only be surnised. The order recently given by Q foreign rep

The Austrian invasion Of

main Austrian army from South
Poland would be imperfect. By

WHY I SHOULD LIKE
 TO HAVEsA BROTHER
By A GIRL WHO HASN'T ONE

have no brothers myself but I have noticed that they are very jolly things to possess. Judging by other girls brothers. I can sincerely say l wish l had several. Other girls don't seem to realize the privilege they enjoy in calling great strong. chivalrous men their brothers. They ought to!
 Brothers are so appreciative. They never fail to notice when one looks well in ones new clothes. and invariably say the proper thing at the proper time They have charming trick of observing, Well really Kitty, I never saw you look pret- tier than you do in that natl Always rut it on, won't you. when you come out with me? It won't last forever? Why then I'll buy you another to match It.
 Then, as well as. thinking their sisters the prettiest and finest in the world, brothers will put themselves to any amount of inconvenience to take these lovely girls out to theatres and dances and concerts. They even don't mind talk ins them to football matches. And once they are there, they don't leave them to their own advices stunning them as if they were the plague, but talk to them, and dance, and walk them about or pro- vide them with some other brothers-who are quite eligible and nice for them to be seen with.
 Talk to me of match-malzing mamas Why, l never saw the mother yet who made such an elegant matchmaker as a brother. I'm sure the opportunities men have of picking up good young men with irreproachable characters, pleasant prospects. and a little money saved up are innumerable.
 Then the matchmaking brother is not handicapped like the match-malxing mama. Everyone expects mothers to have an eye to their daughters futures. But when brother brings home an eligible suitor and sees that his sisters are in, prettily dressed. brightly man nered and ready for any amount of fun, would anyone suspect him of match making?
 Brothers are not so positively sweet

Too Great a Risk
the Philadelphia Telegraph,

From the Philadelphia Telegraph
 Bill Donaldson boarded the communication train the other morning, weighed down with woe. In this city Bill is a railroad man. In Beverly. where he lives, he is a member of the board of education. Twas the cruelty of fate, however, that sad dened his beautiful heart.
 Sometime ago an insurance man stacked up against Bill and asked him If he didn't t want to take out an accident policy. Looked like such easy money to Bill that he hastily answered in the affirmative.
 q presume" said the insurance man, that you were born in Beverly?"
 Not on your life!' answered Bill. "I was born in Philadelphia on Friday, the 18th"
 Whats that?' interjected the insur- snce man. Do you mean to say that you were born on Friday, the 13th?"
 That's what was," returned Bill "On Friday. the 18th, at 1913 South Thirteenth street"
 Good nightl" exclaimed the insurance man."

when there is anything like courtng go- ing on in the home They seem to sym psthize with the lovers and to spare no pains to afford them chances of being alone.
 All secluded hooks, like garden arbors and river side paths. they positively shun. in case they should meet the happy pair, and bring the blush of discovery to their faces Discerning brothers even see that small boys are kept in their proper. places. Small boys have an unpleasant habit of prying their noses into situa- tions that are perfect left alone. Elder brothers teach them that such conduct is rude, and had better be avoided.
 l always admire brothers for another reason. They seem to divine by intui- ton the kind of presents their sisters want. It isn't their disagreeable habit tc wait for birthday and then to forget sll about the birthday present, and to add insult to injury by promising to get something and never get it.
 Their pleasant course of conduct is to shower gifts promiscuously on their sis- ters. It there any present more accept able than the unexpected one? The knot of flowers. the pair of gloves. the rew novel. the latest song, the waist buckle. the brooch, coming at odd times when one is not looking for it. makes a bright hour In dusky day, l declare I could cry when l reflect that all these privileges are lost to me because I have no brother.
 But what is the use of my saying any thing more on the subject? have learned good deal by observing and knowing ether girls brothers, and, as l rema rk ed before my attitude Ia one of regret that they are not mine.
