Mr.. Fuller discusses more than the
origin and preparation of drugs.
There is chapter on vaccines and
serumtherapy, and also one on that
still hazy subject, vitamines. Mar
cotic drugs, their nature. effects and
legitimate uses, are considered. An
interesting and helpful chapter is
devoted to hay fever, that prevalent
malady almost indigenous to this
country. Drug legislation comes in
for a short discussion. There Is.

of common drugs, with which every

traditions of secrecy and muddling
She says:
1t is not the abnormal nor the
bizarre that interests most of us
to-day. Ordinary men and women
want to first know how to live
ordinary human lives on a higher
level and after a nobler pattern
than before. I believe the first
essential is to realize that the sex

the development of the higher, not
the lower, creation.

of Christ about sex. Other great

Miss Royden's attitude on divorce
is not to be condensed into a phrase

her general deductions and particu-

chapters with attention and with

has referred to ironically as "open at

"HE recent visit to this country

important and appealing book. These

their author remarks) upon the pres
ent conditions among women in Eng
land, particularly in respect to the
British laws and traditions bearing
upon marriage and divorce. The
greater freedom of divorce in this
country does not in the least affect
the general tenor of her arguments,
and perhaps throws into even higher
relief Miss Royden's lofty ideals and
standards of life, loving and mar
riage.
AS is fairly well understood in this
community, Maude Royden is Eng
lands foremost woman lay preacher,
and the first woman to appear on n
lecture platform of the Oxford Uni
versity Extension Course. During the
war she established q clinic where she
discussed moral, religious and do
mestic problems with women and
girls. She is now a preacher in the
Guild House in London, where she
conducts Fellowship services" Her
ideals of worship are new, and are
freely expressed before audiences
made up from all classes and of all
forms of belief. Since her college
DAYS at Cheltenham and Oxford, and
her work at the Victoria Women's
Settlement in Liverpool, she has
been prominent in debating, and she
has devoted her scholarship and tai
ents to social problems In which she
has always been deeply interested.
She is the youngest daughter of Sir
Thomas Royden of Birkenhead, and
was born in 1876. In 1917 she be-
came pulpit associate to the Rev.
Joseph Fort Newton (now of the
Church of the Divine Paternity at
Seventy-second street, at the City

woman to preach there.

THE STORY OF DRUGS. BY Henry
c. Fuller. The Century Company.

/" HE peculiar fascination that
the term drugs" holds for
the average man is largely
due to the fact that there have been
so few books written on the subject
in an untechnical and interesting
manner. Although that esoteric slip
of paper, the physicians prescription,
must always remain to the layman
something to wonder at, to strive
impotently to understand, the story
Of the origin and preparation of the
major drugs are subjects well within
his mental grasp. There is, Mr.
Fuller points out. considerable hazi-
ness in the mind of the vast ma ajority
of users of remedial preparations,
as to what is meant by the term
drugs" 20 some it is practically
synonymous with that of narcotic"
To others it suggests chemicals.
Properly, it refers to a substance
or mixture of substances used as a
medicine, or that enters into the
composition of a remedial agent"
Another popular misconception on
this subject is that Germany, before
the war, produced most of the drugs
used by the world. While it is true
that Germany manufactured large
number of synthetic drugs. mainly
the coal tar derivatives, the prime
reason that most drugs came from
that country was that Hamburg was
the clearing house for the worlds
supply of drugs, a position it now, of
course, no longer occupies.
Until comparatively recently, all
drugs were manufactured by the ce-
tail drug stores. With the intro
duction of machinery and the in
creasing demand for drugs from a
population becoming largely concen-
trated in cities, this work was grad
ually taken up by large pharma-
ceutical houses. "The modern medi-
cine manufacturing plant" says Mr..
Fuller, 'is a development of the past
seventy-five years. The ever-in-
creasing demand for agents that
make sick men well has taxed the
ingenuity of the scientist and the
mechanician. One has evolved the
numerous types of standard rene
dies and the myriad meritorious for
mulas; the other has invented and
perfected apparatus required to pro-
duce preparations of stable and uni
form character in large quantities."
OF all the substances employed in
the manufacture of drugs, there is
none as important as grain alcohol.
More than one scientist of unques-
toned repute has made the statement
that, without an unlimited supply of
alcohol, Germany could never have
obtained her commanding position in
the chemical world, could never have
lasted so long during the late war.
According to the author, There is
hardly a pill or tablet formula that
does not contain some valuable in
gredient. either in the form of a
drug extract, which has been OBJ
tanned from a crude drug by means
of alcohol as a dissolving agent; or
an alkaloid or other pure substance
made by process that has necessi-
tated the use of alcohol as either a
crys tallizing medium or q reacting
component. If alcohol had not as

GO TO T0MBS FOR SHELTER
Citizens Of Rome Forced to Take Up
Their Abodes in MausoIeums
and Coliseums.

Roman antiquities are now being
put to unitarian purposes by modern
Italians in Rome. The high cost of
living and crowded flats has driven
some of the hard-pressed Romans into
the ancient mausoleums, royal baths
and coliseums for shelter. Tourists
are beginning to feel they are intrud-
ing into the tenements of Roman pau
pers, not the final resting places of
Roman kings. Along the ancient Via
NOmentana modern fiat jewellers seek
escape where once the plebeians fled
from servitude. Here a party OF
psychologists instead OF mobiles reclin-
ing in their tombs, found a buXom
mother frying ham for her hungry
bambino. Neither the ancient nor
modern tenants complain of the lack
of the latest improvements. The tomb
is made 1omelike with chairs, bed and
stove. A sarcophagus III the middle
chamber holds the family washing,
while hams are strung across niche
where stands the statue of a Roman
dignitary. While inspecting reser-
voir 1000 years old, party of tour
lists found a woman with four children
basking before the entrance Of cave.
She said she was a stonemasons wife,
who settled there because she could
find no quarters in Rome. She took
in roomers to meet the costs Of up
keep. These were four workmen, who
slept on lodges cut in the rock. Lodg-
ing-house keepers prefer the 'reser-
voirs; but families find greater priva-
! cy in the catacombs. : :.:I-Sl X &

Synthetic Sinkers.

While the world is still disturbed
with the many grave problems Of re-
adjustment, it is pleasing to note that
science is making skillful progress and
is constantly marching onward toward
a brighter and better day. In this con-
nectiOn it is noted that among the
newest of scientific triumphs is the
synthetic doughnut.
This victory of mind over matter is
said to incorporate all the elements of
the plebeian or lunchroom species of
sinker. There is the synthetic armor-
plate or covering with which the little
doughnut protects itself from attack
by it's arch-enemy, man. There is like
wise the synthetic interior composed of
the usual adamantine substances; also
the synthetic hole, which is perhaps
the best part of any doughnut, and
last but not least, the synthetic in
| digestion.
Let us hope that science will not
rest on her laurels but will press ever
forward until the synthetic ham and
eggs, synthetic buckwheat and sausage
and synthetic pork and beans have
been rescued from the limbo of dreamy
ssibilities.-Thrift Magazine.
