Are Medicines Liquors?

A certain class of preiudiced and jealous doctors call patent medicines only aIcoh ollie beverages They will tell you that such and such a medi- cine contains as much alcohol as glass Of beer or a certain quantity of whiskey; but they do not mention that the beer or Whiskey is swallowed at one draught, while only a small quantity of the medicine is taken tt one dose. At the same time they will use alcohol quite as freely and many in four or five times as great propor- tions in their own prescriptions
 Such standards remedies as Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound use barely enough alcohol to preserve the root and herb cxtractives, too lit- tie to have injurious effects; and the medicine can be had. if desired, in a ron- -alchoiic form.-advt.

It is supported and largely conducted by the ladies of that church There are 150 girls enrolled, ranging in age from eight to fifteen years, and represent fourteen natiOnalitieS. There are thirty teachers who take charge of the sewing school classes and the work is graded so that the sewing is as crcditable as that taught in the public schools. There are three sra des,--the first taking up the simplest stitches, the second, learning to combine these, hemning and over handing: the third, includes more complex combinations, seams, putting on band, etc. Then the advanced class takes up some practical sewing and the girls are all so anxious for the time when they can be in the advanced class.
 '"rhe school session does not consist entirely of sowing, but about half the hour is given up to instructions. This consists of singing and worship, lit tie memory work connected with tho story. and the ten- minute story which is told by one of the teachers to teach some such lessons as gratitude, obedl- ence. or service. s4
 '"The sewing school work does not end with the close of the Saturday hour. The teachers are able, through the pupils, to get in touch with the homes and others and ofttimes to be Of some definite help"
