ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
First Editions.

To the average book bSyeT who buys
his book in a book store and takes 1t
home to read, how extraordinary
must appear the point of view of his
fellow citizen who buys his books at
auction and. very likely, never reads
them at all; for example, the happy
purchaser who recently paid $14.250 in
New York, for a copy of Millions
"Comus" There are, however, some
remarkable things about this 'Comus."
There Is hardly another copy like e
in the world. 1t is first edition, ded-
icated to the son Of the Earl of Bridge
water, with the Bridgewater crest inn
pressed on the binding; the mask it
self was produced at Ludlow castle in
1884, "on MichaeImasse Night Before
the Right Honorable John, Earl Of
Bridgewater." And 1t is still as good
as new, for 1t remained In the Bridge
water library till 1917, when it was
purchased by a collector, who sold 1t
in 1918, to Mr.. III. V. Jones of Mime
apolis, for $4,000. 1t was Mr.. jones
who sold it. the other day, for $14.250.

ITO stick like a limpet" is an old say
ing, but few people know how II is
that limpet is able to stick as it does
to the rocks upon which it passes its
existence. The creature is able by
means of the central portion of its
body, which can be raised independ-
emily of the edge or frill which sur
rounds it, to create vacuum, much
IN the same way that piece of soft
wet leather can be made to adhere
to a smooth surface by pressing out
all the air. If taken by surprise with
q smart sidelong blow, even a large
limpet is easily enough dislodged, but,
given the slightest warning, it's power
of suction IS instantly brought into
play, and very often considerable
force is then necessary to detach it.

The Making Of
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made imprenses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $780, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes In
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurize1 and sealed
in sterile bottles.
It is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

The government information. the
opinion says. does not include the
word Intoxicating and the defend
ant seeks by this demurrer 10 oh
tain a ruling that no crime can be
committed by the sale of a matt pro

IS sold over the bar in saloons as
beer, but which is that sort Of beer
now manufactured by the brewers
since the restriction upon the use Of
grain and which does not contain SO
much as. us per cent Of alcohol.
Il was argued In support Of the
demurrer that such beer was not IN
fact Intoxicating for the reason that
before a person could Obtain a SUN
cient quantity of alcohol 70 irroxi-
cate he would have to drink 70 such
extent as 70 make him lii or 70 ex-

Whether inroxication could be pre-

JirT cannot De ascertained from the in
formation nor from the demurrer
IN u apparent that there is nothing
IN this record from which the court
can determine n any way what amount
Of alcoholic content would make beer
Intoxicating and what would not.
The demurrer has admitted the facts

fl ndaat mas thereby admitted that re

duct OF mat and winch Is commonly

Therefore the only point presented
upon this demurrer 70 the Information
