Convalescence.

Convalescence comes from the Latin
word that means to grow strong, and II
is the name OF that blessed experience,
which almost ali OF US have had at some
time or other. OF coming back TO health
after an illness.
The length of the period OF GONZALES
cence varies very much in different i'll
nesses and in different people. ltactual-
ly seems harder TO convAlesce from some
diseases than it is TO have them. Ot
these, grippe is, perhaps, the most COM
mon. Every step upward is hard, slow
step, and the time is often made more
trying by the low spirits that grippe ire
ouently leaves behind il. In such case
there is nothing for il but patience; as
strength gradually comes back We shall
find the symptoms grow less and less,
and finally disappear.
Some persons find il hard to remember
that every wise convaleScence must be
gradual; that is why good nurse is al
most as important during convalescence
as during the real illness. We all have
healthy love of life, and we are never so
conscious OF life as we are when we have
Just escaped from the threat OF death; II
it is natural that our JOY should express
itself in efforts to do something TO show
that we are alive. That is especially true
after an attack oityphoid fever. Typhoid
usually lasts several weeks, and by The
time convalescence begins, the patient
is heartily tired Of being an invalid, and
very likely to abuse his feeble, newborn
strength. A patient who is getting well
OF typhoid generally has tremendous
appetite, and unless he is careful to keep
il within bounds, he will likely have re-
lapse.
In convalescence from such disorders
of the respiratory tract as pneumonia or
bronchitis, there is danger that the ever
present germ OF tuberculosis may gain a
strong foothold, and after scarlet fever
great care must be taken lest the kidneys
become inflamed.
The way TO avoid TO avoid these dan
gers is 10 make haste slowly. Unwill-
lngness TO remain a partial invalid for a
few weeks has often caused lifelong in
vaIidism. Therefore give up every kind
of social excitement for time, 20 10 bed
early and sleep late, take nap every al
ternoon. and follow absolutely your doc
tors advice. That is the way 10 safe
and happy recovery.

Wheat Prices During War Times.

Some statistics as TO prices issued by
Renskoh, Lyon 6 Co.. grain brokers, OF
New York, in a leaflet which they have
recently issued bearing on Effect OF Wars
on Wheat Prices" are OF interest.
According 10 these figures. in the early
stages OF the War OF the Revolution, or in
177S, the price OF wheat at seaboard mar
kets averaged ninety-three cents, and
from this point advanced to 1895, when it
averaged g 4S per bushel, the highest
during that period being three dollars per
bushel. The price continued with high
average for some years, owing to the
French Revolution and Napoleonic wars
and our own war OF 1872.
In 1915 the Battle OF Waterloo resulted
in break in the prices of wheat, which
in 1915 averaged Sl76. rising in 1917 TO
& s. per buShel.
In 1852 wheat sold at thirty-eight cents.
but during the Crimean War OF lS54-56
rose to 81 IS in 1855. and after some de-
cline rallied again in 1857.
At the beginning of our Civil War in
1861 wheat sold at sixty-two cents, and
rose from this TO 81 Is in 1864, but broke
with the ending of the war TO seventy
four cents in the early part OF 1865, fol-
lowed by sharp advance TO 81 So in the
spring OF 1867, the same figure which it
reached just fifty years previously in 1871.
During the franco-Prussian War OF
1901 wheat advanced in price from
seventy-four cents TO Sl.3S, declining to
one dollar at the close OF the war, and
rising again TO Sl.6O, from which it de-
clined 10 ninety-two cents in the panic OF
1873.
The Russo Turkish War OF 1868 saw
wheat at eighty-three cents in 1876 and
ST. 10 in 1877, from which price it broke
TO seventy-Seven cents at the conclusion
OF the war, only 10 rise again to Sl.44 in
1882.
AT the beginning Of the SpaniSh-Amer-
ican War in 1898 wheat was low, and in
the spring OF 1897 was sixty-three cents
a bushe. Under the influence OF sharp
speculative corner prices rose TO Sl.S5
for May and 81 25 for July IN 1898, COL
lapsing to sixty-three cents before the
end OF the war.
In 1904 1905 at the beginning OF the
Russo Japanese War, wheat sold at sew
enty-four cents in November, 1903, rose
TO 81 81 in 1904 and 1905, and broke TO
sixty-nine cents in 1906, advancing again
TO $l.6O.
In discussing the worlds production
and consumption of wheat MessrS. Reuk-
orr, Lyon & Co. say that, taking series
OF years together, il can be stated that
the worlds annual need in times ofpeace
even, fully use up the produced crop.
This season began with unusually low
reserves, in spite OF two successive large
crops in the United States, while the Of
ficia estimate OF the agricultural depart
ment estimates that this seasons world
deficiency in 100000 600 bushels.

The New Drug Law.

II is predicted that druggists generally
will suffer more or less heavy losses by
the operation OF the new United States
law, known as the Harrison act, which
has for its purpose more rigid enforce
ment of the drug laws of the country,
and which goes into effect on Monday,
March |.
Those in this district have received
notices from the Internal Revenue COL
lector, that druggists must register their
names and places OF business with that
office by the time tile law goes into effect.
They are also required, under the law,
TO buy certain blanks and forms, which
are 10 be used in connection with the
sale OF certain drugs.
The Harrison act not only prohibits the
indiscriminate sale OF opium, cocaine and
similar drugs, but certain patent medi-
cines are also included. Some druggists
have large stocks OF such medicine on
hand, and unless the firms selling them
to the retailers consent TO lake the goods
off the hands of the latter, the retailer
will probably lose. The law affects drug
gistS, physicians, dentists and vetennar-
ians.
The at provides that all persons hand
ling opium, coca leaves, or any prepara-
ton thereof, including alkaloids and their
salts, must register their names and ad-
dresses with TIE collector OF internal rev.
enue for the district A license tax must
be paid by those handling the drug and
none can be sold after March l. when
the law goes into effect, except on writ
ten order, which must be on form to be
issued by the government. Orders must
be kept for two years accessible TO in
speclion. Violations are punishable by
fine up to 5000 and Imprisonment up to
five years.
Nothing in the law interferes with The
dispensing OF physicians dentists or
veterinarians prescriptions, but these
must be kept by the druggists tor two
years. The act does not apply TO the
sale Of preparations containing not more
than two grains OF opium, one-fourth
grain morphine. one-eighth grain OF her
DIN, one grain of codeIne in one ounce,
nor to preparations for external use only.
1t is pointed out that the drug traffic
has been fell nearly as much in the United
States as in China, and although the new
act will mean some trouble for the drug
gists, if is a very good one, and druggists
generally will comply with The law with
out protest. After somewhat checkered
career in Congress, the Harrison bill
passed both houses, and on December II
was approved by the President.
