To the Editor: - As Prehibition approaches, a good many who still believe in the virtues of alcohol as a family medicine may be disturbed as to how they can have 'he bottle replenished, To all such I ad- dress this letter, asking them to examine the matter fairly and candidly. Alcohol, es medicine, is rapidly being given up in all the large hospitals. This is shown by the collated reports of seven of the largest hospitals in England. In 1862, $37403.00 was spent for alcohol and only $14675.00 for milk, In 1902 only $13186.00 was spent for alcohol and $43813.00 for milk, with about the same number of patients. Sir Victor Horsely tells us that some of the present day rapid recoveries are due to the fact that after operations, the patients are no longer dosed with alcohol. Many of the most successful physicians of the day never prescribe it even In the smallest quantity. That being so, would it not be wise to leave it out of the family medicine chest. It is now beyond dispute that alcohol, even in moderate quantities, lessens efficiency, lessens power of endurance, weakens the memory and eyesight, It does not require any great intelligence to understand that what does all this must lessen the power of a patient to fight disease. If a single glass of beer lessens a man's endurance by seven per cent. and his power to remember things by fifteen per cent., it follows that it also weakens his power of recovery from disease. Dr. Welsh, of Johns Hopkins University, said "Alcohol in any form or in any quantity lessens a patient's chance of recovery." If that be true of an adult, how much truer it is of the delicate tissues of a child. Some years ago the German Govern- ment issued a poster, warning parents to give their children "not one drop of wine, not one drop of beer, not one drop of whiskey, or any other form of alcohol.", Not only does alcohol lessen a patient's chance of recovery from illness, but it greatly increases his tendency to con- tract disease. No one will accuse military men of being temperance cranks, and yet the Handbook of the Royal Army Medical Corps takes great pains to put that fact beyond question. On page 20 of that book experiments are described that would convince any man that even one glass will render a man more liable to any contagious or infectious disease. Not long ago the Academy of Medicine of Toronto, unanimously declared against the use of alcohol in any form as a medicine. Finally let us remember that in the U.. S., whiskey and brandy have been left off the American Pharmacopeia, which is the official list of medicines recommended for the use of physicians. If that be so, are you not quite safe in dropping the use of it as a family medicine? Sometime I may advise what to use in its place. H. Arnott, M.B., M.C.P.S.

Don't despise the old-fashioned homely ap- plication of mud, if nothing else is handy. Rubbing the sting with the cut surface of a raw onion is fairly effective. It ,relieves the pain and causes the swelling to subside. Ammonia water, spirits of camphor, arnica, and moist snuff or tobacco all have advocates. If there is a great deal of swelling, apply hot boric -acid fomentations. whooping Cough. Mrs. Charles Lovell, Agassiz, B. C., writes: "Seven of our nine children had whooping cough the same winter and we attribute their cure to Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine. We always have it in the house. and recom- mend it as the king of all medicines. I was formerly completely cured of protruding piles by using Dr. Chase's Ointment." The Brown Copper and Brass Roll- ing Mills, Limited, are building an extension to the plant for the manu- facture of Shrapnel at New Toronto. This is to be a fireproof structure of brick and steel. The work on this ex- tension, which has been going on for some time, will be finished soon. The decision of Mr. Justice Middleton and Judge. Coatsworth with reference to the Fairbank school difficulty is being anxiously looked for by the Council of York Township. Until judgment is given in the application for an injunction to restrain the trustees from going on with the work on the new school the Township Council is enjoined from authorizing the issue of debentures to cover the cost of the work. Mr. Justice Middleton, before whom the application for the in junction came, referred cer- tain matters to:the County Judge for decision.

We're rested and kept from a load of care, 'Way back on the farm with its redo- lent air. Let us go back to the farm, 1 say, Breathing the scent of the new -mown hay! There we shall rise from an old-time bed With never a sign of an aching head; There we may wash and sputter and spurt, With never a care for our linen shirt. Let us, my friend, of the farm life preach, Secluded and free from the city's reach, Riding a plow o'er the fertile fields, Blest when we know what the harvest yields; Garnering acres of golden grain, Pleased with the song of the laden wain, Well knowing that plenty shall fill the land, And blessings attend us on every hand. Let us go back to the farm, my boy! [We're tired to death of the town's dead joy, of watching the helpless poor, Of smoke and soot and the city's roar; Tired of the things that used to be, And sick of the stunts of charity. Let us go back to the farm, by jing! Back where the sweet -voiced songsters sing! Back where the wild flowers richly grow! Back where the sparkling waters flow! Back where the sons of nature plod, Alone with earth's mother and nature's God! -John A. Rgwland, in , Farm and Fireside. Deafness Gannot be Gured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the nucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken. out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the nucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, Ohio.

Water boils when it bubbles, fat when it is still, but it is not ready for frying until a blue smoke rises from the surface. Be particular about this point. Scum should always be removed at once, as it rises in boiling. Fat used for frying fish should be used for no other purpose. ' A stew boiled is a stew spoiled. Soiled pans filled with hot water start cleaning themselves. Always save the liquor in which meat has been boiled. A spoonful of vinegar will set a poached egg. Spare the salt when using the catsup. Pour nothing but water down the sink, Baked meat should start in a hot oven. Salt brings out flavors. DR. A. W.

STORY OF A WEATHER VANE, Why a Grasshopper Tops the Royal Exchange in London. 1f you ever go to London among the places of interest there you will vista the public buildings known us the Royal Exchange, There is a cupola at the top .of that building, Rising from that cupola is an iron rod with a huge grasshopper on it for a weather vane: And there is an interesting story con- nected with that grasshopper. It is this: One day, more than 300 years ago, a mother in Englund had an in- fant, a few months old, which she wanted to get rid of. So she wrapped It up in a shawl and laid it down un- der a bush in a field and left it there to die unless some one should find it and take care of it. Shortly after a little boy was coming home from school. As he passed by the place be heard a grassbopPer chirp- ing in the field. He stopped a moment to listen to it, Then he climbed over the fence to get it. But just as he was about to catch it he caught sight of the baby close by. He let the grass- hopper go and, taking the baby in his arms, carried it home to his mother. She took charge of the baby and brought him up. He turned out to be a good, pious boy. He was always de- cided in doing what he knew was right and in not doing what VMS wrong. When a young man he went to Lon- don and entered into business there. He was successful in business and he - came rich. He was not only rich, but great. He was knighted and is well known in English history as Sir Thom- as Gresham. The Royal Exchange was built in honor of him. And he had the grasshopper put as a weather vane on the top of it in memory of the won- derful way in which when an infant his life was saved by the good provl- dence of God. -Richard Newton in Bi- ble Models. THEY PUZZLED HUXLEY. Terms In Which He Found It Difficult to Define His Belief. Huxley once wondered whether he was a deist, an atheist, an agnostic, a pantheist, a materialist or a skeptic, an idealist, a Christian, an infidel or a freethinker. And the more he reflect- ed the deeper his problem. What an- swer will any one make? Dr. James C. Fernald in his work "Synonyms and Antonyms" defines each according to bis own belief, as follows: "The deist admits the existence of God, but denies that the Christian Scriptures are a revelation from Him. The atbsIs; 4rmies that there is a God. The agnostic denies either that we do know or that we can know whether there is a God. The skeptic doubts di- vine revelation. "The infidel is an opprobrious term that might once almost have been said to be geographical in its range. The crusaders called all Mohammedans in- fidels and were so called by them in return. The word is commonly applied to any decided opponent or an accept- ed religion. "A freethinker is inclined or addict- ed to free thinking. especially one who rejects authority or inspiration in re- ligion. A materialist takes interest only in the material or bodily necessi- ties and comforts of life. A pantheist accepts the doctrine of pantheism. An idealist idealizes or seeks an ideal or ideal conditions. A Christian is one whose profession and life conform to the teaching and example of Christ. "Pantheism is the doctrine that God and the universe are identical. It con- trasts with atheism as the positive de- nial and with agnosticism as the dog- matic doubt of the existence of God. It opposes that form of deism which denies the divine immanence and sep- arates God from the world." Keeping a Lamp Clean. Once in two months I separate the wicks from the burners and boil them in soda water. In about ten or fifteen minutes I take them out and clean them with an old toothbrush, rinse and dry. I lay the wicks straight to keep their shape. They will be white and pliable. Then fill the lamps with suds (not too hot) and let stand awhile un- til all discolorings have vanished. Drain, wipe out and refill with kero' sene, adding a teaspoonful of salt to each lamp. Lamps treated this way give a beautiful bright light and there is no fear of an explosion. Sing Different Songs. "Pa, you sing bass in the choir, don't you?" asked Bobby Smithers. "Yes, my son," replied Smithers. "And ma sings soprano?" "That's right." "Well, there's one thing I don't un- derstand." "What is it?" "Mrs. Tompkins says you sing mighty big in public and mighty small at home." ° The New Chauffeur Era.
