The clause Guaranteed under the
Food and Drugs Act of 1906" is
probably the most misleading thing
upon any food package. deceiying
even the small, uniformed dealer
as to its real meaning. As explained
in a previous article this Is not
guarantee of quality or purity. IL ia
not guarantee OF the government
nor does 1T in the least indicate that
the Bureau of Chemistry has in
vestigated and passed upon the
goods.
1t is the guarantee of the man
| facturer to the jobber or retailer
that il the goods Is seized as being
illegal or misbrand ID when in hands
of the seller, the manufacturer must,
will or can be held as the responsible
party. 1t protects the wholesale or
retail grocer; 1t does not protect
the consumer unless he knows enough
to protect himself.
Why have 1t there? Ask those wha
framed the Federal Food and Drugs
Act, and the ones who paused upon
| 1t before it become law. Meantime
disregard it entirely as an indication
of purity, goodness or safety and
learn to read and understand the rest
of the label, SO you cannot be
deceived by statements which are
untrue. Incidentally word has just
come firm Washington that the
misleading guarantee clause must be
omitted on all food and drugs after
May l. 1915.

they are delivered and of corse the

the items, glance at the price, decide
it Is according to- what you know OF

to some lecture or read this article

these following things:

Relic of Bronze Ace.

A rare find has been made by DON
aid Macdonald, farm servant, at Bal
loch of Culloden, near Iverness, Scot
land. While hoeing on the part of the
farm which had at one time been
loch. he turned up in the ground fine
specimen of bronze ak or palstrave.
The weapon, it is said, is $500 years
Did The total length, including the
shaft for binding it to the staff is 5%l
inches. The shaft is grooved on both
sides, and about an inch wide. The
Ak head measures three inches across,
and must have been an effectivel
weapon. Experts have traced the be-
ginning of the bronze age in northern|
Europe to about 1900 B. c., and have
brought it down to about 600 B. C.I
The weapon found at Balloch may be-
at least 5000 years old. According tol
various authorities the bronze age ex-
tsted in pre-Celtic times.

PRESENTS SOME NEW TRUTHS
Somewhat Pessimistic Writer Comes
Forward With Considerable Food
for Thought.

When, in the course of human
events, it becomes necessary to arouse
a people to a high pitch of emotion
and dissatisfaction in order that they
may be willing to get together and
throw off a rule that has grown op-
pressive, inefficient and antiquated, it
will always be found eff1cacious to get
up some kind of high-sounding docu-
ment which can be thundered forth in
hypnotic frenzy by orators, and which
pays more attention to rhetoric than
to the truth.
We hold practically no truths to be
self-evident, and certainly nothing
could be farther from the truth than
that all men are created equal. We
believe that they are endowed by
their Creator with practically no
rights which are not readily alienable;
that no rights are more easy to alien
ate or more often alienated than the
rights to life, liberty and the pursuits
of happiness, and that all governments
all the time ALLEVIATE these alleged
rights of thousands of its people with
out the slightest whimper. In fact,
a government may pay almost no at
tention at all to the needs of ma
jority Of its citizens and yet be called
1emocratic.-Life

ABSOLUTE PRc0f OF DEATH
Simple Test Familiar to All Physi-
clans Prevents Possibility of Per-
son Being Buried Alive.

To many persons the dread Of be-
ing buried alive is an obsession. Sci
ence has so many tests now that such
a thing is almost impossible. There
is no necessity now for such precau-
tions as were taken in ancient times,
at the request of those who feared
this contingency. When the attend
ing physician is in the least doubt he
has a very harmless and simple mode
of testing the point and proving abb
solutely whether the patient is really
dead or only in cataleptic fit, SIM
ulating death.
1t is known that even though the
finger cannot detect the beat of the
pulse, nor the stethoscope bear to the
listening ear of the physician the
least beat of the heart, a quiet cir
culation of the blood may be going
on, and the person be actually alive,
though giving no signs that can be
noted by touch. or hearing.
1t has been proved that if 16 grains
of fluorescein-a substance explained
by the chemists as an anhydrid of
resorcin, the we'll known aseptic
agent-be injected into the circula-
tory system, say at the jugular vein, in
a few minutes the mucous membranes
of the patient will appear decided
yellow, and the eyes will be phosphor-
escent-if there is any circulation go
ing on in this persons body, be it ever
SO silent and gradual.
If, on the other hand, there is no
circulation, the fuorescein will have
no effect on the mucous membranes
whatever, and the eyes will not have
any brilliancy, proving that there is
no life in the body of this person.
Here is one of the simplest, and at
the same time surest, tests Of life
known to science. There is no reason
whatever for the fear of being still
alive when buried, if this simple test
is made.

Naval Code Books.

On every ship in the American navy
the commanding officer and the second
in command are each furnished with
a copy of the secret naval code of the
government. These books are bound,
not as ordinary books, in cloth, covers,
but in heavy metal backs. The object
is to prevent them from falling in the
hands of the enemy, for their weight is
so great that, when thrown into the
water, they sink Immediately, where
as, if bound in the usual manner, the
spreading of the leaves might keep
them afioat long enough to permit q
vigilant enemy to pick them up.
These officers are commanded first
of all things to throw these book over
board before surrendering their yes
sells or whenever there is danger of an
enemy getting aboard. The capture OF
one of these books, it is considered by
the naval authorities, would be more
disastrous in time of war than the
loss of battleship.
