PHOSPHITE NOT PHOSPHATE.
Tho Proper Sodium Solution ts Use la
 Bichloride Poisoning.


 Bichloride Poisoning.
 In q recent issue of a well known medical journal the statement is made that mercuric chloride poisoning can be treated by the use of sodium phos- phate with excess of sodium bicar- bonate. Thus, editorially. the same journal says: "This solution, 1t Is claim ed, instantly converts the bichloride to the mild chloride. which can be remov- ed by dose of castor oil. It is very necessary that the sodium phosphate shall be chemically pure"
 "Attention should therefore again be called to the fact" says the Journal of the American Medical Association. "that the names sodium phosphate and sodium phosphite' are so similar that a serious error can be made by the misprinting or misinterpretation of a single letter. Sodium phosphite has been suggested as an antidote to mer- curic chloride because it acts as a re- ducing agent to convert mercuric chlo- ride into calomel-mercurous chloride while the phosphite is changed to phos- phate. Sodium phosphate will have no such action on mercuric chloride be- cause it is already as highly oxidized as possible"

THE REAL RUSSIA.

It Is Confined to Very Small Section
 of the Vast Empire.
 In "The Russian Empire. Today and Yesterday" Nevin o. Winter says:
 "In a strict sense. real Russia cov- CTS only a portion of the more than 100000 square miles that lie within the borders of the continent. This narrower definition would certainly eliminate Finland. Poland. the Baltic provinces, Bessarabia and the Cauca- sus and probably q part of the land of the Don Cossacks. the Crimea and the sections bordering on the Arctic ocean and the lower Volga. In other words, the real Russia has developed within this narrower section. and whatever of Russian characteristics appear in the eliminated sections have simply been imposed by the conquerors upon people alien by birth and language.
 '"The actual visible influence of Tol- stoy on Russia seems not to have been great. He was beloved and reverence ed by many. but no party claims or has ever claimed him as leader. The higher classes rejected him because of his opposition to all established gov- ernment; the peasantry were repelled by his diatribes against religion; the revolutionists and anarchists repudiat- ed his teaching because he had no definite plan to offer. His influence on thought and opinion in Russia will not compare with his influence in non- Russian nations"

 "He makes dat furrer wid his tail."

Coming Out" Party of American Made Gowns Brings
Notable Audience to Ritz -Carlton-Fashion
Fete Is Brilliant Success.

de la Paix may be obtained by the
American woman of fashion without the
necessity of suffering either from Nal
de Mer or an import duty. If nothing
else has been accomplished it Will be
POSSIBLE after the present exhibit for
American designers to sew their own
labels on their frocks and sell them on
their own merits.
Heretofore il took an imported Label

Arnerican-made garment, no matter

the Fifth avenue designers, they have
no desire to get beyond the bounds OF
the Monroe doctrine. and the most they
hope to accomplish for the immediate
present is 10 be able to make their
salesladies talk plain English and with
out the necessity of using a French
accent
New York's social register has been
depleted by the list of patronesses for
the fashion fete and the turnout at the

ment Of jewels and finery, seemed to
bear out President Wilson's ideas rela-

shop were not meant to be distinguished
from the others OF New York's smart
set but class will tell, and the cops
seemed to be the class.
The fact was that despite the sue
cess OF the fete II must be admitted
that the New York designers are
working under handicap. Whereas the
Partisan designers have the pick OF the
peach crop of La Belle France from
which to select their manneQuins, the
exhibitors at the Ritz are forced to
display their artistic efforts on the

White pelour and black fox are
used in this evening wrap which
mas exhibited at the recent fashion
fete held in New York under the
auspices of prominent society

This wrap has the typical silhoa-
cite, the long narrow Waist and
short full skirt. Fur at the neck,
sleeves and the bottom of the skirt
of black fox, is in sharp contrast
to the white pelour material which
forms the body.
The fur on the sleeves when
brought together gives the effect

the neck Stimulates a fur neckpiece.

of the skirt are Scalloped, in a

ton which proved so popular in
the summer and through the fall,
promises to hold its own during the

hdps to the fact that such a con-

sensible old doctors who be-
lieves in finding the root of dis
