DRUGS AND P0IsoNs.
Popular Delusion Of the Safety Of the
"Purely Vegetable"

"PureIy Vegetable"
"Of all popular delusiOns as to drugs
and chemical compounds" said a prom
inent chemist. perhaps the most harm
full is that concerning medicines that
are purely vegetable There seems to
be almost universal impression
among even the educated classes that
such medicines as are composed en-
tirely of vegetable compounds are on
that account harmless. while on the
other hand any mineral compound Is Of
necessity poisonous.
Now, as matter Of fact, not only
has the question of whether a medi-
cine is vegetable or mineral not the
slightest relation to its poisonous or
nOnpOisonOus qualities. but in practical
medicine it would seem that most Of
the common poisons are vegetable.
Look at the poisons most commonly
known and note their composition.
Take ,strychnine. aconite. opium, alco-
hol.. digitalis. hyoscine and cocaine.
Every single one of these is purely
vegetable vet most of the deaths by
chronic poisoning come from one Of
these. The most powerful poison
known. 'ricine Robert one five-thou-
sandth of grain of which will kill q
grown man, is made entirely from the
castor. oil bean.
ION the other hand, many minerals.
so far from being poisonous, are not
only harmless. but soothing. Bismuth.
a pure mineral is given In quite large
quantities even to small babies for the
purpose OF allaying Inflammation.
while iron is one Of the most common
tonics
!. Soda is not only one of the most
universal and harmless Of minerals.
but it is also largely used in our foods.
Salt is a pure mineral. yet it is not
only necessary to life, but one Of the
greatest cleansers and preseryatiyes
known. Without it bacon and ham
would be impossible and the luscious
dill pickle unknown.
"Of course. there are minerals that
are highly poisonous, such as mercury.
arsenic and potassium in certain COM
ibinations. but they are neither more
deadly nor more numerous than the
vegetable pOisons. This also may be
said I'm favor of the mineral poison. It
is considered by many physicians that
its action is much more certain than
its vegetable brother: rather. vegetable
pOisOns are much more uncertain In
their action upon the human system.
Hence death by overdose is more likely
to occur from vegetable than q min
eral poison when taken incidentally.
"Just how the public ever got the
delusion that the purely vegetable
was badge Of harmlessness do not
know. but the fact remains that such
is the common Observation-Disclosures

German soIdiers Yell bv orders.


Here Is curious instance of the
German way of doing things. The
German military system does not take
into account the natural impulse of a
charging. excited trooper to yell any
way under the vociferous conditions of
a battle. He is commanded to yell as
part Of the shock action to which each
man must contribute to make overpow-
ering. During the winter schooling he
actually is drilled in individual charg.
ing to yell at a certain point in the
charge and is severely criticised II he
does not make noise enough 1t is the
same with singing. The Germans are
naturally musical people and sing
spontaneously. but with regiments In
the field songs are started and stopped
by command.-World's Work

MODERN BAY0NETs.
Rigid Tests They Must Pass Before
They Go Into Service.

Tney Go into Service.
Any soldier will tell you that moth.
ing In his equipment wears better than
his bay0net. for this few inches of
steel seldom snaps or loses its shape
however great the strain imposed upon
It This Il because the modern bay
onet has to pass through twenty three
revere tests before 1t is considered fit
to be attached to soldiers gun. A
bayOnet blade is forged from the
finest steel, and the first stage Of fits
manufacture consists of heating it un-
til red hot, when it is placed under a
hammer which deals 1,5OO blows a
minute. This process results In the
original piece Of steel being hammer
ed out to twice its length. The bar IS
then heated again and rolled between
two huge iron cylinders. which press
1t into the rough shape of blade.
Emery wheels then grind its edges I'M
til they are as sharp as razor.
) Altogether the bayonet passes through
200 processes before 1t is ready for the
testing room.
The first test applied to the polished
blade is the striking" test. A steel
arm grips the bayonet and with great
force drives it against solid piece of
wood. A badly produced blade snaps
like q needle, but good piece Of steel
emerges from this severe test with its
edges straight and unblunted.
Then comes the bending test. The
point of the bayonet IS firmly gripped
in a vice, and It is bent and twisted
into part of circle. If it survives
this ordeal the blade is placed straight
up under heavy weight attached to
a lever. The steel is bent beneath the
weight, and to pass this test it must
lift up the mass Of iron by its own
elasticity.
However badly bent, good bayonet
should spring back perfectly straight,
and 1t is tested for this quality before
leaving the factory. The blade is
placed on curved block, the point be-
ing secured in hole. The bayonet is
then bent to the curvature Of the
block, and when released it must
spring back to its original straightness
to satisfy the rigid ruling OF the in
spector. Altogether bayonet has to
pass twenty three tests with regard to
its accuracy and strangth.-London

Peoria Tractors Are
Making a Big Hit

The Fremont Tractor demonstration is
not chautauqua, nor a religious revival.
yet, in 10 far as the Peoria Tractors are
concerned. IT certainly emphasizes the
Biblical statement that "a little child shall
lead them" Tho Peoria tractors were
the only tractors on the grounds oper-
ated by child, mere boy OF 10 years,
doing the demonstrating throughout the
show.
Older heads are, OF course, on hand.
President George Mcfarland and secre-
tary-Treasurer c. +. Loomis of the
Peoria Tractor company left their work
In the hands OF assistants, so that they
might attend to Fremont demonstration.
They say that although they have Sc
cured good business from all shows. the
Fremont demonstratlon has outclassed
them all az regards actual results-paid
business.
The Peoria Tractor company officials
credit their success to the fact that their
machine Is so similar to an automobile
that the average up-to-date farmer read
fly understands It. Coupled with this
they claim the lightest weight machine
on the grounds handling three fourteen
inch plows at speed OF from two and
a half TO three miles per hour.

customer located away down in Cuba.
The Cubans, being used to old fash
Toned ways OF doing things. were wont to
continue doing things In the Same. old
way, being content with slow, hand
labor. They were very skeptical OF the
tractor and its workings Although the
cubans were not from Missouri. they
certainly had 70 be shown, voicing that
statement In their own emphatic way a.
well as making their attitude known by
their actions and continued aIoofness.
However. In due time one progressive
Cuban bought tractor. When It ar

deavored to throw all possible difficulties
In the way OF the machine, hoping that
they could thus hinder II and prevent it's

But the tractor one OF the Light ALI

and did such remarkable duty that the
natives. who came to scott, went away

for the tractor as the sturdy man OF

Mr. Hall points out that skepticism IL
not confined 20 the cubans--that II is

be shown. That's why he Is such a
booster for the Fremont show and why

Big FOUR 20" IS A
VERY HANDY ENGINE
Tractor Built TO Work Wherever
Team Of Horses Can Take
a Plow.
1T IS LIGHT AND ACTIVE

The Big -Four 20" a lightweight
four-cylinder. two-speed tractor" made
by the merson-Brantingham Implement
Co. Is one OF the most impressive look
ing tractors In all the big field OF exhib-
its at the Fremont demonstration. The
Big -Four 90 Is a big machine which
will do all kinds OF work. az much as
many men and many horses and yet II
can be operated by one man.
The ability OF this tractor to take care
Of any and all work about farm where
power IL needed is remarkable One OF
it's greatest features is it's ability 20 easily
and quickly pillow any field that Is large
enough 10 farm satisfactorily with horses
or horse drawn machinery. With plows
raised, the tractor may be backed into
any fence corner and pillow out evevy
available foot OF ground. The plows are
never IN the way, never prevent the trao-
tor from backing or turning short corners.
The power pillow hoist, the pillow and the
tractor are one unit. The plows are
raised and lowered by the power OF the
motor. II makes no difference so far as
the plow hoist is concerned whether the
tractor is moving or standing still. A
touch OF the plow lift foot pedal instantly
raises the piows. Press the same pedal
again and they drop back into the ground.
The power lift Is simple, without compli-
cations and does not have a single part
In motion except when raising or lower
ing the plows.
