SOME ANTIDOTES FOR POISON
Worth Preserving, Since Quick Actor
10 the AIl-lmportant Point to
Be Considered.

The first thing to do In case Of
poisoning is to summon a physician
without delay. telling him what has
happened, SO that he may bring q
stomach pump and other necessities
with him.
The next thing to do is to give the
patient an emetic. The sooner and
more complete the vomiting. the bet
ter chance for recovery. Whatever Is
given should be repeated and repeat
ed until complete nausea empties the
stomach.
II there is a tendency to drowsi
ness, the patient must be kept awake
by exercise.
When It is not known what poi
son has been taken, follow these direc-
tons:
Mix in a pitcher of warm water two
heaping teaspoonfuls OF common salt
and one teaspoonful OF mustard to
each pint OF water. Give glassful after
glassful until vomiting is severe.
Also give the whites Of one or two
eggs or a cupful OF strong black coffee.

NATURE UPLIFTED BY LOVE
Mans Affection for Dumb Animals
Has Been the Means Of Broad
enlng His Intellect.

Who has not loved a horse, q dog. a
cat or a bird? He has missed re-
filming and softening influence in life
There is something in our love for
animals that lies deep in our hearts.
Why we love them is a question not
easily answered. II is not animal In
stinct: that leads to contempt of an
inferior The sick animal In herd
or the weakling in a pack is Ill treated
or killed by its fellows Our love for
them comes partly from their depend
ence on us. Mans nature differs
from that OF lower animals; weakness
and dependence appeal to his tender
ness. Our love for an animal appears
to lift It up out OF the commonplace.
The love and companionship that man
has given the dog has raised him In
the ranks of creatures. II has In
creased his intelligence. He has even
gained some traits OF human beings.
In strength of love and faithfulness
the dog exceeds most human animals.
And man loses nothing by companion
ship with animals. His intellect Is
broader. he has wider and deeper sym
rathy with all the world. His nature
is uplifted by the love he bears his
dog or his horse.
Kindness to animals and love for
them should be taught children from
their earliest years. 1t is a duty OF
parents. of teachers, OF employers.

HOW ARABlANS TRAIN HORSES
Familiar Old Stories About Housing
Them With Human Belngs Are
Merely Fables.

So far as we know the Arabian
breeders have no patented system of
training their horses different from
those prevailing among peoples OF a
similar degree OF civilization, the
Breeders Gazette says. Naturally, the
lack OF pasture results in young Ara
bian horses being fed a considerable
quantity of barley, and SO. the story
goes, at least. a not inconsiderable
quantity OF the fruit of the date palm,
fresh and dried. by way of succulence.
The colts are broken usually bare
backed at two or three years old. Their
subsequent handling is much like that
OF all other horses with perhaps the
difference that as early in life as pos
sible the young animals are accus-
toned to doing without water for in
creasing periods OF time. in order to
accustom them later on to the scarcity
OF liquids in desert journeys.
The ancient stories about the Arab
steed being kissed and bawled over
by the shelk's whole family. kept in
the living tent and foaled on the best
silk rugs are picturesque fables con
tanning about the same measure of
truth as the one which dates the pedi-
grees OF Arabian horses back to the
mares owned in Biblical times by
King Solomon.

being, and there is rest and refresh
ment in a visit to this haunt OF peace
and loveliness which at the present
day produces some of the drugs that
figure in the pharmacopoeia.
Its history is interesting. The ply
sic-garden was originated by Sir Hans
Sloane and handed over by him to
the Apothecaries company in 1921.
The garden was presented to the com
pany on condition that ut should at
all times be continued as a physic gar
den, for the manifestation Of the pow
err, the wisdom, and goodness OF God
in creation; and that the apprentices
might learn to distinguish good and
useful plants from hurtful ones"
The Apothecaries' garden is the old

included in the many interesting spots
visited by rambling parties arranged
by the Selborne society, an organiza-
ton which reveals the beauties and

SUPREME COURT HAS
REVERSED BANK CASE
Superior Court Found for Plaintiff in
Case of E. j. Reed Against VIII
mington Savings Bank.

The supreme court of Vermont has
reversed the finding of the superior
court in the suit of Elmer j. Reed, adj
ministrator of the estate of Arathusa
v. Clark of Halifax, against the Will
mington savings bank. This suit was
to recover $500, the amount of an order
on the Wilmington Savings bank and
interest, which the plaintiff claimed
was paid illegally. The superior court
found for the plaintiff.
Arathusa V. Clark and her husband,
Aaron L. Clark, both elderly, were both
i'll in the fan CT 1J0S. Mrs. Clark had
| $548.l5 on deposit in the savings bank
and signed an order made out by DR..
J. w. Cram, the attending physician,
and witnessed by him, to her husband
| to draw the money. He, being i'll III
| bed. turned the order over to his son.
| Charles, but failed to endorse it.
| Charles drew the money and turned in
| his mother s bank book, the bank pay
ing the money on the order without il
being endorsed over to the son.
Later Aaron L. Clark and another
son, William, after the death of Mrs.
| Clark, had Mr.. Reed appointed as ad-
ministrator and he brought suit to re-
cover the amount with interest paid to
the son. Charles, who is a prominent
and well-tO-do citizen of Halifax, claim
ing the bank had no right to pay the
money.
The defendant, on exceptions to the
rulings of Judge Zed S. Stanton of the
superior court, took the case to the
supreme court, which has now reversed
the findings of the lower court. Homer
Sherman of Charlemont, Mass, and f..
w. Gibson of Brattleboro are attor
neys for the plaintiff and Chase &

to protect her national rights.
Henry Van Dyke, the American min
lister, referring to the reports said;
" Naturally the various naval de
clarations have caused considerable
anxiety among the neutral nations
which, like Holland and the United
States, have large commercial inter

change in the attitude of Holland. She
is both peaceful and calm and as

her power to preserve her neutrality
and maintain her rights.
