You talk of your breed of cattle,

And plan for the higher strain,
You double the food of the pasture,
You heap up the measure Of grain,
You draw on the wits of the nation,
To better the barn and pen,
But what are you doing my Brothers,
To better the breed of men.
You boast of your Morgans and Her.

But,ah,are you coming my brothers,
The worth of the children of men.
You talk of your roan-colored filly,
Your heifer SO shapely and sleeke,
Noplace shall be filled in your stanch-

By stock that's unworthy and weak.
But what of the stock of your house

Have they wondered beyond their
ken.
O, what is revealed in the roundup
That brands the daughters of men.
And what of your boy, have you

His needs for a growing year,
Does your mark as his sire,i his fea-

Patent Medicine

"Patent Medicines" much extoll-
ed and frequently maligned, usually
are not patent" sometimes are not
medicinal, and certainly are not new,
according to John A. Foote, NJ D.,
who writes to the National Geograph-
ic Society as follows:
"The patent medicine business in
England, viewed as a distant trade
monopoly, really took definite form
during the reign of Queen Elizabeth.
Both Elizabeth and James | abused
this assumed arbitrary power of
granting monopolies of various sorts,
until great discomfort was produced
amongst the people. The Statute of
Monopolies, passed in 1924, regulated
all such grants, placing authority in
the hands of Parliament. The period
of duration was likewise limited to
| ID years In the beginning, speci-
| tications of methods or formulas were
not required; but during the period
of Queen Ann applicants began to
| De required to file these specifica-
tons. AS secrecy was an important
element in the success of nostrums,
| this ruling tended to discourage the
| patenting of medicines until in 1900
medical compounds were patented
| but rarely.
"Of course, the term patent medi-
cine nowadays is misnomer, as few
of these preparations are patented.
The property right is protected by
cOpyrighting the label or register
ing it as trademark thus prevent
ing competition in the use of the
name of the preparation.
''The oldest patent preparation
still made in large quantities IN
Great Britain is probably Andeson
Scots Pills, patented under King
James II in 1887. Formulas of
these pills appeared in all the man
uals on pharmacy published in Eu-
rope and America in earlier days.

Charles II refers as the true medi-

pounds sterling Other writers state
that Charles paid 5000 pounds for

Though every loyal Westinghouse

somewhat from the system of parking
motor cars nose to nose in the MD

street.
Practically speaking, there is no
way out of the difficulty, but the fact
remains that the unbroken front OF
touring cars, runabouts, sedans and
other vehicles mars the sweeping lines
of these handsome thoroughfares. In
many of the prominent streets there
are double rows of automobiles ey'

THE NEWER ETIQUETTE
BY EDMUND VANCE COOKE

BY EDMUND VANCE COOKE
IF a gentleman be present
To whom smoking is unpleasant,
Should his feeling Tor his failng) be joke?
Or, (under such condition)
Should lady ask permission
Before she self-ndulges in a smoke
Of course lady's attitude
Should be allowed a latitude
In behaviour toward the masculine and meek,
But should any perfect lady
Tell story somewhat shady
If it bring blush to any manly cheek?
And although maidens bodness
Often overcomes GOODNESS
And though perseverance ought to bring its fruit,
Yet when a man has scorned her
And derided her and warned her,
Should lady be persistent in her suit?
These are delicate suggestions
Of some modern mooted questions
Which are apt to puzzle and perpex,
For although slight acumen
Tells when she is woman,
1t is hard to tell lady by her sex!
