Alcohol Is the essential element
in fermented and distilled liquors.
and in many of the patent medL

Alcohol Is useful in preventing

sixty per cent. is used, as is the
case In many patent medicines, the

Cocaine is very useful local
anaesthetic, but is often dangerous,
even in small quantities, and other

in use including eucain, stovain,

OUR DAILY STORY
SAFETY FIRST

Myazma Plinth was the blondest and
prettiest girl to apply in answer to
Gregory Mallow's advertisement for
stenographer, so, after mature deliber-
alton, he selected her.
The first morning she reported for
work, her employer greeted her with a
chuck under the chin and a friendly.
"Morning, dearie, make yourself right
at home, and if there s any little thing
you need that would help you in the
work, such as box of candy or few
orchids, just speak right out"
Then he sat down to look over his
mail. The first letter he opened was
anonymous. 1t read:
"Sir: We take this opportunity to
inform you that low down trick is be-
ing played on you. Your new stenO-
grapher is really spy in your wife's
employ to report all misconduct on your
part in your relations to her, A word
to the wise, etc.
IA Friend"
"Er-ah--er = Miss Plinth" said
Mallow, I-er-ar-er-want to apollo
gize, er-that is to say, explain, my
greeting to you little while ago. You
see, my attitude to all my stenographers
has been one of strictly disinterested
business, and 1 have never tolerated the
presence of any girl who-er-expected
me to be in the slightest degree-er-
personal, in my attitude towards her.
Therefore, I always begin by testing
every stenographer and I want to com
gratulate you, Miss Plinth, on the cool
manner in which you took my pretend.

And he returned to his mail, and Miss
Plinth, who in her last three positions
had made everything comfortable for
herself by working the same little an.
onymous note game, merely smiled chill.
