Deadly Poison in Moonshine Wits.
ky-Death in Home Made
Liquors.

Members of the st. Louis Medi-
cal Society, physicians of high
type, have given out the informa-
ton that thousands are being pois-
0ned by homemade liquors.
DR.. A, L. Fuerth, acting SUPER
intendent of the city hospital, st.
Louis, said the majority Of pa
tients received there suffering
from alcoholic poisoning were VIC
Tins of mo0nshine whisky. Nine
out of ten moonshiners have no
idea as to the procedure necessary
to eliminate the higher alcoholic
fluids. Few even know of their ex-
istence.
In it's effects, it works different
ly on different individuals, slowly
in many cases, rapidly in others,
but the results will be in the end
blindness, heart disease, affec-
tions Of the brain, kidneys and
other organs and perhaps death
may be the result.
Few know of the presence of fu-
sci oil, a deadly drug, 80 drops Of
which has proven fatal, but not
two out Of 100 illicit distillers
know howto eliminate this drug
from their product.
If you care for the men Of your
community who are drinking this
vile stuff; spread this news. Per-
haps you can save someone who is
flirting with death and don't know
it.

Why Shopping Pays.

People who in spending their
money are too Indifferent to read
store advertising sometimes say
that prices for standard articles
are about the same in all places.
They argue that to get good goods,
you must pay about the standard
price, SO you might as we'll walk
into any good-looking store, and
call for what you need and pay
the price.
That such q theory will be costly
policy, is indicated by an investi-
CATION made by the Boston News
Bureau of selling prices on Ave
standard lines of cotton goods.
1t priced these lines in eleven
stores in New York and Boston.
1t found in one line, for instance,
that the price in one store ran as
high las 80 cents, while in one
place it was as low as 81, and in
another down to %. On another
line where one store was selling
up to 60 cents and another for 46,
it was found that one store sold
the same fabric for 20 cents and
enc for 35.
These comparisons suggest that
at any time and on most standard
lines, there is considerable va
ration in prices, often as much as
Is per cent. It is impossible on
most merchandise to standardize
prices.
Some merchants buy more ex-
pertly. than others. Some take
more pains than others to look out
for specially good lots. There are
always opportunities to buy at
reduction for men who can lay
down the cash.
Newspaper advertising tells the
story of what individual mer-
chants have been able to accom-
plish for their customers. Those
that have found something of UNI
usual value are commonly dis
posed to tell the public about it.
If they don't, they get NO credit
for the bargains they give, and
would not sell it much faster than
stores that offered 1t for q high
price. A great deal of money can
be saved by those who take pains
to read carefully the offerings
made in newspaper advertising.

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get small package Of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take q
tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through a
sieve and drink . teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
1t is the most effective way to break a
cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus driving a
cold from the system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

city being overrun with them. When
he calls residents of Rio to account
for not bathing he is again in error
for the poorest hovel has it's shower
bath-cold water, it is true-which
is used with commendable frequency.
The faults of the Brazilian Govern
ment as Mr. Franck found them have
to a large extent disappeared with
the present administration, which took
office just as Mr.. Franck was leaving
the country. Many of his structures
are, however, still justified, even in
that country.
With the perfumed dandies and
oglers of the South American city
streets .he has no patience whatever.
In chapter on Brazil he bursts out
with the following: I'm perhaps no
other country on earth does one more
often meet men who need nothing
so much as a good man sized trounc-
ing, or where a plain, frank word is
so certain to arouse childish, ire
sponsible resentment, IL not actual at
tack" He places the blame for much
of the retarded progress of South
America on the caste system. which
not only makes IL a disgrace to labor
with the hands, but encourages dandy
ism, ding and egotism. He sees
ground for hope in the fact that the
low cut gowns of Argentine women
reveal that the rich have not yet lost
n Haph IoJ
by more virile forefathers.
Less pardonable are Mr.. Franck's
attacks on the indolent and immoral
peasantry and laboring class of South
America, classes which Cunningham
Grahame, w. II. Hudson and other
writer's have found lovable and worth
praising. Mr.. F'ranck has gone among
the people making his Investigations
in the spirft OF the sociologist rather
than In that of the seeker of beauty.
He cares only for progress" It is
not to be wondered that the stagnant
populace of South America repelled
him. II was decidedly fed up with
the 'Spigs.'" he confesses. Poetic
aspects of life In the South have
escaped him. He has said little about
the growing Importance of the litera-
ture of the continent. The one artistic
phase of life he has noted Is the
musical yet he has failed to mention
how musical are the people Of Buenos
Aires and Rio, a feature which the
sympathetic visitor can hardly fail T.,
observe.
The author has not. however,
scanted praise for the national beau
ties Of the continent. He has heaped
his words in great mounds of praise
before its hills and rivers, its sunsets
and affecting landscapes. When Mr..
Franck praises he is memorable. His
clear. vigorous and rapid style abounds
in contrast and the punchy. pic
turesque phrase. Here are a few
phrases and sentences plucl1ed at
random
Though the Porteno has inherited
the Spaniards preference for taking

Marriage de Figaro. He is very much
alive and real, yet less dependent
upon external tags than many of the
adolescents portrayed in stories.
That is, he has character. He is
amusing at times but the author does
not make him laughing-stock. In
fact it is the boy who finds the rest
of the world amusing.
The second merit is the sense of
multitudinous life which the author
feels and makes the reader feel.
Many books, even though they be
skilfully written, give an impression
