the group will be divided into
three sections and by rotation
each section will have an OPP

in each of the fields. The
specimen should be wrapped

DRYS TO STAGE RALLYS

Taking heart from the fate
Of beer and repeal legislation
in the present session of Con-
gress, the dry forces of the
country are mobilizing for a
battle in the States for the de-
Tense of prohibition from at
tack at the forthcoming special
session of Congress.
With it's leaders convinced
they can hold at least Ii states,
thus blocking any repeal
amendment, the Anti-Saloon
League of America announces.
1t will stage 500 rallies through
out the country during the next
three months Sin campaign
of opposition to modification or
repeal" Foremost speakers in
the dry cause will be sent on
cross-country tours. Other
dry organizations are consult
ing on joint action along SIM
liar lines, while maintaining
also a direct pressure on the
new Congress.
In the general revival of
spirit among the organized
drys the Board of Temperance
of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, in a statement
written by Bishop James Can
con, Jr., said:
From careful survey con-
Quoted by our board it now
seems evident that the 18th
Amendment will not be repeal
ed at an early date, and prob
ably not at ALL"
A parting shot at the beer
bill was fired in the Methodist
boards statement, which
charged the legislative spon-
sors of the proposal with being
"open law-breakers" and "reb-
els" against the Constitution.

STATE BUREAUS MAKE
REFUNDS

In response to Governor
Ritchie's plea for economy, de-
partments of the State govern
ment during the fiscal year
1882 turned Back to the State
Treasury a total of $746,819.87
out Of their appropriations.
The sum turned back is 4.95
per cent of the total used in
the computations. Governor
Richie had asked the depart
ments to save per cent where
possible.
OF the 81 departments that
returned money to the State,
80 turned back more than 5
per cent.
A number of departments
were not able to make any re-
versions. In these cases, how
ever, reversions were not ex-
pected, since salaries formed
the largest part of the appro-
priatiOn.
Several other departments,
although listed as making
small reversions, were not ex-
pected to turn back any money,
These departments, too, are
bureaus in which salaries OF
other fixed charges formed the
biggest part of the total funds
The figures used in the COM
putation were obtained at the

READ THE. LABEL

When Mrs. Brown--that is
not her real name, but it. will
answer the purpose-had her
glasses changed a. few weeks
ago, her oculist gave her
prescription for some eye drops
to be used just before going to
bed. She had the prescription
filled and tucked the bottle
away in her medicine chest.
When she was ready for bed,
she took out what she thought
was the right bottle--she did
not bother to read the label
and dropped two or three drops
not of the eye medicines
she supposed, but of lotion
containing a dilute solution of
carbolic acid and glycerine, in
her eye. Fortunately, she had
plenty of warm water and 9TH
er moons for immediate relief,
right at hand. Fortunately,
again, though she had to en-
dure several hours of excru-
ciating pain, she was spared
any permanent damage to her
eyes.
Mrs. Browns experience
shows strikingly how very i'm
portant it is to read the label
before using any kind of drug
or medicine" DR.. r. L. Swain,
Deputy Drug Commissioner of
the Bereau of Food and Drugs
of the State Department of
Health, remarked in telling the
story. Incidentally" DR..
Swain continued, s'the story is
a true one, and it is only one of
many similar happenings that
have been brought to the at
tention of this Bureau recently.
Luckily for Mrs. Brown her
experience had happy end
ing. But the careless handl-
ing Of drugs does not always
end that way. 1t is more like
ly to cause not only agonizing
suffering, but frequently is re-
sponsible for unnecessary and
irreparable damage and even
death.
'tIshe incident is a reminder,
too, of the old, old adage re-
garding a place for everything
and everything in its place. In
the haste and hurry of our
present way of living, the med
icine chest is likely to have
scant attention. 1t is a con-
venient place for dumping ODDS
and ends Of medicines and
drugs a place to reach into
when emergency aid is needed
for sudden illnesses or house
held accidents. But it is not
until something like Mrs.
Browns experience occurs,
that it is regarded as a source
of possible danger. /
eff you have not cleaned out
your medicine chest recently,
don't wait until housecleaning
time to get at it. Get rid of
the old things that you have no
further use for; arrange the
rest Sc that you can find them
when you need them; separate
the ones that may be a. source
of danger from the rest; place
them so that you can see the
labels and READ THE LABEL
BEFORE YOU USE ANY OF
THEM"

An amendment to the Con-
stitution, proposing to tap a
reservoir of wealth variously
estimated as between $4,000
100000 and $36,OOO,0O0,000 in
tax-exempt securities has been
introduced in the Senate by
Senator Cordell Hull CD of
Tennessee, reputed choice of
President-Eleot Roosevelt for
his forthcoming Cabinet. Sen
atorial expression indicated
that strong sympathy existed
for the measure.
In the last report of Ogden
L. Mills, Secretary of the
Treasury, it was estimated that
$22,536,000,000 in securities
were now exempt from taxa
ton, so far as the normal in
come tax and surtax is con-
cerned.
Here is a tremendous reser-
voir of wealth, possessed large
ly by men and women of vast
property, that is not paying its
due proportion and fair share
CT taxes to maintain the Fed
eral Government, while the
men and women who toll and
do not possess large property
must pay income taxes.

Public education just now is
far more in need of an honest,

The first is and will be a

"Cossacks of the Don" will be pre-
sented for one day only at the City
Theatre on 18th St. tomorrow.
The Cossacks Of Russia have been
romanticized and misunderstood more
than any other people. Brave"
Terrible" Independent" Ruthless"
are only a few of the adjectives that
fiction has heaped on them.
The newest Russian talking pic
ture reveals the Cossacks fully and
deeply. "Cossacks of the Don" is a
moving and poetic story Of the years
Just before the war. A 5empestuous
Cessaek woman is the center of the
story The role Of Aksinya is acted
by Emma Cossarskaya. who will be
remembered here as the heroine Of
''Fhe Village of Sin"
The hatred of the Cossacks for the
neighboring Ulrainian peasants is
/ brought out in the picture in several
thrilling scenes. The Cossacks had
special privileges under the czars.
They were self governing to some ex-
tent, and had large grants Of lands
and fisheries in return for their mill
tary services to the czar. They were
eligible for such duty until 40 years
Of age, and had to provide their own
horses. Accordingly they occupied the
position of a separate caste in the
population OF old Czarist Russia.
They were comparatively rich-al-
though there were poor people among
them, and they We're hated by peas
ants on this account as much as they
we're feared for their recklessness in
carrying out the Cars commands,
The Cossaeks always have been
magnificent horsemen. Their feats on
horseback are an exciting part of
"Cessacks of the Don" as they rush
nell-mell across the steppes
The picture is based on q novel by
Mi&hail Schololzov, who is known as
the most realistic interpreter of the
lives of the Cossaeks.
