The recent campaign against the use of proprietary medicines, conduct ed in tho columns of Tho Ladies' Homo Journal and Collier's Weekly, has evoked an answer from tho Com .mltteo on Legislation of tho Proprie tary Association. Tho committeo says: "In considering the question raised by recent attacks upon proprietary medicines, every reasonable man will admit that there is a wide and legiti mate field for tho manufacture and "sale of medicines already prepared for general use and easily obtainable at all times and everywhere. . . . ;As a matter of fact these medicines are not patented at all, and tho popu lar uso of the word 'patent' in connec tion with them is a misnomer. Any pharmacist will tell you that practi cally tho only 'patent' medicines in uso to-day are those which aro manu factured either by foreign or domestic pharmaceutical houses, and which are now almost exclusively dispensed by physicians or designated by them in their prescriptions. , Tho medicines which aro now tho subject of wholesale attack by Mr. Bok and Editor Hapgood aro tho old fashioned fnmjly remedies properly described as 'proprietary medicines'.' They aro tho favorite remedies among millions of people ail oyer tho coun try; and, notwithstanding the con stant effort of somo physicians to ere nto prejudice against them, no one over yet heard of any of tho millions of users of such remedies asking for legislation I or other action adverso to them." Ho who praises men and" women has many friends. flatters FRENZID ADVERTISING. 1 In these days of frenzied advertis ing, it is hard for all of us to tell the real thing, and it naturally follows that the safest way is to pin our faith to thoso articles and products 'which are backed and guaranteed by tho oldest and tnffsE reliable- concerns.

It was out In tho garden, and by It every one could tell tho timo of day. Of what do you supposo ho mado it? Flowers, and this is tho wny ho did it. First, says tho Washington Star, ho mado a great flower bed 'and divided it into twelve parts. Tho divisions wero marked out by rows of box plants, and in the center wna a post three feet high. ThlB post had two hands on It, but, of course, theso wero only for show. A Bun dial on tho post told tho tlmo truly in caso any of tho llttlo flowers got out of order. As somo plants open only at night tho twelvo divisions of tho clock wero. divided into parts. On ono sldo wero night, on the other day bloomers. At 4 in tho morning goatsbcard and bluo chlckory opened. Tho petals of tho chicory wero a bright bluo. They grow lighter In color until they wero nearly white. Tho children called tho flowers "Miss-go-to-bed-at-noon," ns 12 o'clock found all their petals closed. At 5 o'clock tho morning glory and poppy opened their eyes. At C tho yellow hark-weed and dan delions. At 7 o'clock tho water lilies wore in all their glory and It tho day was flno 8 o'clock found tho pimpernel with Its red oyes wide open. At 9 marigold and tulips spread out. At 10 Stars of Bethlehem wero at their best, for at 11 they Wero found all shut up. At 12 o'clock tho lazy pas sion flowers awoko and sweet pens then triumphantly unfurled their many-colored banners. At 2 daisies were tho brightest and at 4 o'clock In tho afternoon tho flower appropri ately named four-o'clock was ready to show itself. At 5 o'clock Uio "beauty of tho night" awakes and at 6 tho evening prlmroso was blooming Its loveliest. At 7 tho white lychnis (only a night bloomer) opened and later still the night primroses put out their white bloom. At 2 o'clock in tho morning tho pur ple convolvulus awoko and wondered if tho sun had forgotten to get up. VITAL STATISTICS OF RUSSIA. Facts About the Empire of the Czar Are Interesting. .

Unaccustomed to tho ways of this country, he wan continually getting into trouble Vvlth his wagon, owing principally to tho fact that he insisted upon turning to tho left Instead of tho right. At last those Occurrences became so numerous that tho stable boss In formed him ho would glvo him just one mora trial. Pat had been away from tho barns, alter this warning, only a short time when word came that his outfit had been badly demolished again and the report was confirmed later by Pat him self. "Didn't I tell you always to turn to tho tight?" asked th boss. "Well, sor," said Pan "I did turn to tho right whin I mfet tho flro engine, but f what good dhlUfio?

Mnckoy was at tending to business nt tho great Pom stock mlno ono day when a party of tourists approached and nuked It ho knew of a guide who would take them around. Evidently nono of them knew him. Mnckoy offered to escort them, and did so, explaining tho mys tery of gold and silver qunrU mining. When they had emerged tho visitors thanked tho guide. Among thorn was Andrew D. White, rccontjy ambassa dor to Germnny, nnd at that tlmo president of Cornell university. "Here, my man. take this," ho said. "Yam explanation of tho working of tho mlno hns been singularly clear and in forming." "Well, it ought to be," replied tho guide, ns ho Bllppcd tho half dollar in his overalls pocket, "I dug 'cm- and I own 'cm." She Was Used. "I hear you havo a llttlo sister at your house," said a Chicago grocer to a smalt boy. "Yes, sir," said Johnny. "Do you llko that?" was queried. "I wlBh it was a boy," said Johnny, "so I could play marbles with him, an' baseball." "Well," snld tho storekeep er, "why don't you exchange your llt tlo sister for a boy?" Johnny reflected for a minute, then ho said rather sor rowfully: "Wo can't now. It's too late. We've used her four days." When Your Grocer Says ho docs not have DoSanco Starch, you may be sure ho Is afraid to keep it until his stock of 12 oz. packages are sold. Defiance Starch Is not only bet ter than nny other Cold Water Starch, but contains 1C oz. to the packnec and sells for name money ns 12 oz. brands. Crushed. "Why nm I llko a pin?" nsked Mr. Jones, triumphantly, of hlsivlfo. Ho expected sho wns going to say, "Be' causo -you nro to Bharp," and ho was simply paralyzed when sho replied "Bccnuso If you should get lost it wouldn't bo worth while to spend tlmo lo6klng for you." To tho housewlfo who has not yet become acquainted with tho new things of everyday ubo in tho markot, and who Is reasonably satisfied with the old, we would suggest that a trial of Defiance Cold water Starch bo mnde at once. Not alone because It is guar anteed by tho manufacturers to be su perior to any other brand, but because each 10c package contains 16 ozs., while all tho other kinds contain but 12 ozs.
