A MODERN CHEVALIER.
BY Alvah Jordan Garth.

DOlph Waring, newspaper man,
was really enjoying the compan-
ship of a professional burglar. He
had the full freedom OF the police
station, and at a hint from the
desk sergeant he had gone down
into the cellroom, looking for ma
terial for a special article for the
columns of the daily journal he
served.
Joe Ward, craftsman, that day
held over TO the grand jury. was
glad to relieve the monotony of his
incarceration by detailing his pro-
fessional exploits, especially after
Waring had given him a good CT
gar.
Joe recited z dozen instances OF
darig peril anG1 criminal clever
ness in which Waring discovered
the basis for a first class "spe-
cial" Then Joe uttered a prodig-
ious sigh as he observed. And TO

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
How to Judge a Doctor.

But you do not understand
how crude and poorly trained some
of the doctors here in the tall tim
bers" are. For example, the last
doctor we called in prescribed So
luton of the citrate of magnesia
for my mother, and instead of pre-
scribing tablespoonful or even
wineglassful, he said she should
take the entire bottle at one dose
u ounces! Yet people have to en-
ploy him or none. t. ii. ).
Answer-That is the proper aver
age dose of solution of magnesium
citrate-a very valuable saline ca
thartic-and your doctor apparent
ly knows his business. If your
mother did not feel like taking the
IL ounces at one time, the doctor
probably would have divided it into
two or more drinks for her.
A Dog Bit Her.
Some eight years ago | was bit
ten by a dog. Recently a friend
told me she knew of a woman who
developed hydrophobia IL years
after a dog bite, and I am SO wor-
ried l can't rest at night. A. e. r.
Answer-There was perhaps one
chance in a thousand that the dog
had rabies, and one chance in ten
million that you could be infected.
However, even that chance vanish

Druggist Couldn't Gum 1t.
The formula you printed for
gargle for the use of speakers and
singers contained drains of fluid
extract of red gum, which several
large druggists were unable to OBJ
tain Is there any substitute for
that part of it, or can you advise
where the red gum may be obtain
ed? R. L. W.
Red gum Eucalyptus rostrata)
is imported from Australia, be-
lieve, and at the present a scarce
article. A clergyman has found
that very satisfactory results are
obtained by substituting for the 3
drains of red gum about 1 p drains
of fluid extract of kino "a similar
but more astringent substance).
Kino is official in the U. S. Pharma-
copoeia and readily obtainable.
