DEFENDS POPULAR REMEDIES
Speaker Says Newspapers Should In.
Vestigate Merits Of Medicines Be-
fore Barring Advertisements.

That an organized attempt has been
made to blacken the reputation of the
popular family remedies Of this coun-
try, and to mislead the newspaper
publishers into rejecting the adver
Using of such medicines, was the
charge made by Carl J. Balliett, OF
Buffalo, N. Y, at the conventio-. of the
Advertising Affiliation at Detroit.
Mr.. Balliett is director of the Pro-
prietary Association of America, which
includes in it's membership two hun
dred firms which make the popular
prepared medicines of America.
Mr.. Balliett pointed out that it Is
the duty of the newspaper publisher
to refuse the advertising Of any fake
or fraudulent medicine, just as 1t Is
his duty to refuse any fake or fraudu.
lent advertising, but it is not right to
shut down on all medical advertising
because there have been some takers,
any more than it would be right to
refuse to publish all department store
advertising because certain stores
have made a practice of lying about
bargain sales.
Disease and death are mysteries.
People who are perfectly well are
skeptical. They laugh at the time
worn patent medicine joke. just as
they laugh again and again over the
many variations of the operation joke
THE operation was q success but
the patient died." This so-called hui
NOR has perhaps hurt the medicine
business with well people, but when
the hitherto healthy man feels a Sc
we're pain or illness, he Immediately
wants medicine, and will bless the
cure whether it be at the hands of a
regular doctor, a homeopath, an osteo-
path, Christian Scientist or patent
medicine. There is nothing more
deadly than disease; nothing more
honorable than to cure it.
Mr. Balliett refuted the idea sought
to be spread about that patent medi-
cines are unpopular by showing that
from 1900 to 1912 the amount of pre-
pared medicines consumed in America
increased from $100,000,000 to $780,
100000 annually. He showed that, al
though the American Medical Associ-
alton is trying as an organization to
exterminate so-called patent medi-
cines, the family doctor, individually,
is not fighting them but prescribing
them. He estimated that 1919 of the
prescriptions written by doctors today
include proprietary medicines.
The writings of DR.. Harvey w. WI
ley, ne said, have also aimed to de-
stroy confidence in proprietary medi-
cines; but that DR.. Wiley's ideas are
not infallible is shown by cases where
his analyses were entirely wrong. Mr..
Balliett mentioned case where. with
all the power of the Government, he
fought a preparation as being danger
Gus to health, and was ingloriously
walloped.
There has been spread the idea that
a clever faker can mix few useless
ingredients and, by smart advertising,
sell. tons of it and win sudden wealth;
whereas, as a matter of fact, the medi-
cine business is VIGOROUSLY difficult
and, where there has been one success
at it, there have been hundred fail
ures. Any medicine which has no

as it bubbles, take from the fire, pour

POINTERS FOR BEGINNERS IN
HOG RAISING.


Professor Burns, OF the department
OF animal husbandry at the Texas
Agricultural and Mechanical College,
says that II does not take a great deal
OF capital to engage in the hog bust
ness In this State. However, in rec
ognizlng the States need for a larger
and more general expansion OF the in
dustry, he offers some suggestions OF
value TO those who design devoting
more attention 10 that profitable
source OF farm revenue than in the
past. In this connection he says:
Some special equipment, such as hog
proof fences and small portable houses
or cots. is necessary and should be
provided along with feedstuffs before
making purchases OF foundation stock.
Pure bred animals. females as we'll
as males, will prove more profitable
In the long run even in pork produc.
ton, though the first cost OF such ami
mails will be little greater than for
grades. Hogs multiply rapidly and
with only four to six good brood sows
and a boar one may have in a few
months a good start in the hog bust
ness. It is not advisable to go into
II too extensively at the beginning un.
less one Is experienced. The most
profitable method Of pork production
will be in the growing of forage crops
such as oats, wheat, rye, barley, rape,
/ alfalfa, cowpeas, Spanish peanuts,
sorghum, stock beets, burr clover,
Japan clover and Bermuda grass, sup
plementing them with a modest grain
allowance until hogs are six to eight
months old. when heavier grain feed
ing should be practiced for about sixty
days In order to finish and harden
them for the market. Attempting to
raise hogs in pens on grain only Is
almost certain to result in failure"
Under prevailing conditions it is abb
solutely necessary that the farmers
of Texas raise not only more meat for
home consumption, but for the market
as well, II they hope to make farming
profitable year in and year out. With
established packing houses in the
State, there is an active demand
throughout the year for the surplus
hogs they may raise, but, as Professor
Burns suggests, to make the industry
of hog raising profitable. intelligent
methods Of looking after the needs of
the animal must be pursued.-Houston
