• Whiskey tor Hams Back.
The increased use of whiskey for lama
back rheumatism is causing considera
ble discussion among the medical fra
ternity. It is an almost infallible cure
when mixed with certain other ingre
dients and taken properly. The fol
lowing formula is effective: “To one
half pint of good whiskey add one ounce
of Toris Compound and one ounce
Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound. Take
in tablespoonful doses before each meal
and before retiring.”
Toris compound is a product of the
laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceuti
cal Co., Chicago, but it as well as the
other Ingredients can he had from any

The "Stoughton Bottle."
From the Boston Olobe.
Stoughton, not stoatin, bottle is
proper. The adage, “standing like a
Stoughton bottle," can be traced back
to early 19th century days. Dr. Stough
ton in those times got out a bitters
that became famous. The compound
was originally sold in ordinary straight
green (probably black) bottles, duly
labeled, and the Stoughton bitters bot
tle became a bar fixture, always stand
ing at the end of the bar. The con
tents of the bottle seem to have been
gin-steeped tansy to give the unblend
ed whisky of those times a tang. The
adage rose from the noticeable position
of the bottle on the bar.
The Stoughton bottle, however, took
another form. Dr. Stoughton had a
quick discernment of the merits of ad
vertising. The presidential campaign
of 1840 was on with its “log cabin and
hard cider” slogan. The glassblowers
were requisitioned for imitation log
cabins, and the Stoughton bitters in its
log cabin home held its own for a score
of years afterward.
The Stoughton bottle may be con
sidered as a square, corrugated glass
bottle in the shape of a log cabin.

Aaked About tho Answer.
There has been recalled by the death
of James W. Paul, the Philadelphia
banker, this story, which he told long
ago:
“I was going home one night late and
saw a man who had evidently looked
too deep into the cup making frantic
but unsuccessful efforts to open a door
with a latchkey. I decided to help tho
man, who was not so far gone as to
have forgotten his politeness, for be
fore entering the house through the
door, which I succeeded in opening, he
asked my name and thanked me.
“I proceeded on my way, but had only
gone a few steps when I heard some
one call, 'Mr. Paul, Mr. Paul!' I turned
and there was my friend of the latch
key coming toward me with unsteady
gait. He put one hand affectionately
on my shoulder, and, looking me In
the face, said: ‘Say, did you ever get
an ariswer to that long letter you wrote
to the Thessalonians?'”

The Wants of the Army.
, The Duke of Connaught Is telling an
amusing story of his 'recent visit of in
spection to Egypt. While he was ip
Cairo, he went for a stroll one morn
ing and on his way back to his quar
ters hMpame face to face with on old
Englishman wearing the ribbon of the
Indian Mutiny on his breast. The duke
stopped and spoke to the man about
his military service for some little
time. Presently, the man said, not
knowing, of course, to whom he was
speaking: "Are you In the army, then,
yourself, sir?" The duke smiled and
admitted that ho was. "Getting on all
right?" was the next question. The
duke smiled again and said that he had
not very much to grumble at on the
whole, though perhaps he was not do
ing quite so well as he could wish. "No,
and you never will, my boy,” was the
surprising retort of the veteran. "What
you want In the army today is either
brains or a tremendous amount of In
fluence behind you. You take my tip,
old chap, and chuck it!”

CATJSB AND EFFECT.
<<
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.
Indigestion and the attendant dis
comfort* of mind and body are certain
to follow continued use of Improper
food.
Those who are still young and robust
are likely to overlook the fact that, as
dropping water will wear a stone away
at last, so will the use of heavy, greasy,
rich food, finally cause loss of appetite
and indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of Cause and Effect In
their dally food. A N. Y. young woman
writes her experience thus:
“Some time ago I had a lot of trou
ble from Indigestion, caused by too rich
food. I got so I was unable to digest
scarcely anything, and medicines seem
ed useless.
“A friend, advised me to try Grape
Nut* food, praising It highly, and as a
last resort, I tried it. I am thankful
to say that Grape-Nuts not only reliev
ed me of my trouble, but built me up
and strengthened my digestive organs,
so that I can now eat anything I de
sire. But I stick'to Grape-Nuts.”

It Puzzled Him.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The proprietor of a tanyard was anx
ious to fix a suitable sign to his prem
ises. Finally a happy thought struck
him.
He bored a hole through the doorpost
and stuck a calf’s tail Into it. with tho
tufted end outside.
After a while he saw a solemn-faced
man standing near the door, looking at
the sign. The tanner watched him a
minute, nnd then stepped out and ad
dressed him.
"Good morning, sir," he said.
"Good morning.” said the other, with
out taking his eyes off the sign.
“Do you want to buy leather?” asked
the tanner.
"No."
"Perhaps you've got some hides to
sell ?”
"No."
"Are you a farmer?”
"No.”
"What aro you, then?”
"I am a pholosopher. I've been
standing here for nearly an hour, trying
to find out how that calf got through
that hole."

A New Artificial Fertilizer.
From the Consular and Trade Reports.
Consul W. H. H. Webster, of Niag
ara Falls, Ontario, makes the following
report on the establishment of a fac
tory for the manufacture of cyanamide
and lime nitrogen:
One of the many industries in this
growing city is the manufacture of
cyanamide. Coke and lime are used in
the manufacture of cyanamide by
means of an electric furnace, the re
sulting compound being in turn pulver
ized and combined in a second electric
furnace with nitrogen from the air se
cured by a liquid air process. The ma
terials thus obtained contain 20 per
cent in weight of nitrogen, the bal
ance being the coke and lime compound
which serves to bind the nitrogen.
This compound is calcium cyanamide
or lime nitrogen, and when sown in
the soil it decomposes and dissolves
in contact with the soil moisture, is
then absorbed through the roots of
the plants and becomes a valuable con
stituent. Three years of actual use up
on farms in Europe has proved the
'value of this substance In connection
with the wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye,
rice, tobacco and other crops. Some
crops have been doubled by its use.
Saving Waste.
From the Wall Street Journal.
"Allowing nothing to go to waste that
can be turned Into money,” is the spirit of
the commercialism that now rules indus
trial America. It is the Inspiration that
Is stimulating scientific research, mechan
ical Invention and money-hungry human
endeavor in every field. "We market ev
ery part of the hog except the squeal,"
said the late P. D. Armour to a visitor he
was showing about his pork packing es
tablishment, and that, be it noted, was
before the day of the phonograph. Mr.
Armour was an early starter.
A distinct Impetus was given the utiliza
tion of material long allowed to go to
waste, by enforcement of laws for the pro
tection of communities against nuisances.
It was the force of public opinion that first
'compelled the pork packers to invent pro
cesses for the conversion of the Intolerable
refuse of their great abattoirs into fer
tilizers and the many other by-products
now yielding fat profits, and to create a
market for them.
The same is true of the great oil re
fineries of the Standard and other com
panies in the petroleum industries. By
products, numbering several hundred In
all. are the largest profit-makers of the
Standard. The premier refining company
of the world owes a very considerable per
centage of its enormous wealth to the re
fusal of the keen smelling public to dwell
without protest in the noxious atmosphere
of the old-time refinery.
Having discovered the money there is in
by-products the genius and capital of man
has been for years and is still enlisted in
a struggle to extract the ultimate dollar
from every detailed resource of the an
imal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms—
from air. water, substance. There is
seemingly no limit to the development df
the idea.
That is one of the features in which

An Averted Danger.
A very beautiful actress, at a lunch
eon at the Plaza, told a story about the
late Tony Pastor.
"Before I went on the stage,” she
said, I was a typewriter girl. My em
ployer happened to fall, and I adver
tised for a new situation. One of those
who answered my advertisement was
Mr. Pastor, and I put his name on my
list, and In due course called on him.
"But he told me I was too late. He
had engaged a typewriter early that
morning. He was verry sorry, he said.
I would have made a charming orna
ment to his dull office. He paid several
delightful compliments to my eyes, my
lialr, my flgure.
“I rose with a sigh.
" 'Well,' I said, ‘I suppose I’ll have to
close with Mr. Koopon, then. I’m hor
ribly disappointed. I’d ever so much
rather work for you.’
“ ’What, has old Koopon, the banker,
made you an offer?’ Mr. Pastor cried.
" ’yes,' said I, ’and a very generous
one, too; but I prefer this office to his.’
“ 'And In this office you shall stay,’
said Mr. Pastor, whimsically. ‘We’ll
make room for you somehow. Why,
my dear child, all my money is In Koo
pon’s bank.’ ”
He Vlad It.
David Warfield, The great actor, was
describing his European trip.
, "The best thing I saw was the Milan
cathedral," he said. "The worst was
the English barber.
"The English barber uses a dull
razor. He lathers your nostrils and
your lips. He brushes your hair with
a revolving brush that runs by ma
chinery.
’’I'll never forget my first experience
of u London barber shop. It was a
dim. stuffy room. I sat in a straight
hacked chair. The barber, though his
razor was dull, cut me three times.
" 'Will you have a close shave, sir?'
he asked, after going over my face
once.

ANTS ARE GOOD FIGHTER8.
There le a Perpetual Feud Batween
Different 8peciet.
"On the morning of August 11,” »ays a
writer In Surburban IJfe, "I gathered a
few black ants and a number of their
small, brown, egg shaped cocoons from
an ant hill In my yard and placed them
[ In a shallow glass box, an artificial nest,
where I watched their behavior.
"Not long after this I discovered a
winged black queen promenading under
the apple tree—very likely a blood sister
of the others for when I placed her with
them she was not attacked, as was a
large ant with a red thorax that later I
Introduced among them.
"Strange how ants recognise both
friends and enemies through the sense
of smell rather than by the sense of sight.
No sooner do two ants meet than they
cross noses, so to speak, In order to as
certain who Is who. If tho Insects llnd
that they belong to different communities
war is at once declared.
"This was the case when the ant with
the red thorax was confined with the
black ants. How vicious both species
were, how they snapped at and bit each
other. One black ant succeeded In grab
bing an antenna (or feeler) of her antag
onist, to which she held as tho big red ant
dragged her from place to place.
“Another black smelled her opportunity
and caught the hind leg of the enemy,
who was thus greatly handicapped In her
movements. Still, Bhe succeeded In kilt
ing both black ants, although she could
not free herself from their death grip
until I came to her assistance.
“The queen had remained Inactive dur
ing the conflict and had taken no part In
cleaning up the nest; when all was again
In order a worker ant approached her
and after a short antenna conversation
began to tug at her wings. Apparently
this was to give the royal sister to under
stand that she must now discard them
and asume the responsibilities of egg
laying, the work for which Bhe had been
most carefully reared.
“The young queen was not Inclined to
give up her gauzy appendages, however,
so presently the worker resumed her ef
forts to loosen them, but with no show of
animosity. Falling to accomplish her pur
pose, she next caught the queen by her
untennae and led her gently about the
nest and then held her In a corner for at
least twenty minutes.
"During this time the other ants came
and touched her caressingly with their
antennae, and one went so far as to offer
her food from Its mouth. It was a clear
case of coaxing. They wanted this queen
mother to deposit eggs and found a new
colony. I do not know what arguments
finally overcame the queen's reluctance
to give up her freedom. The next day I
saw that she had yielded to the entreat
ies of her sisters. She was wingless and
depositing very minute eggs.
"The black ants have what appear to be
good natured wrestling matches among
themselves. They are constantly on the
move doing something, carrying the un
wleldly cocoons from one place to an
other, regurgitating for a companion or
making elaborate toilets."
Genuine Cannibal Captured.
James H. Birch has organized in
New York a new club, the Circumnav
igators. No one who has not made a
complete circuit of the world Is eligible
for membership.
Mr. Birch, a great traveler, was talk
ing about travel in Burlington. The
cannibalism that once prevailed
amongst the South Sea islanders sug
gested a cannibal story to him, and he
said:
"A man once went to the circus.
Near the main entrance to the circus
there was a sideshow, and a vast and
brilliant oil painting portrayed in all
Its horrors a cannibal feast—corpses
cooking over flres, nude natives
squatted In a circle, holding to their
mouths grilled forearms, hands and
such like delicacies. A genuine can
nibal, the poster was to be seen
within.
'“Paying a dime, the _ Bumw,
The cannibal, very lightly clad, sat
with crossed legs on a divan, languidly
toying with a spear. His teeth were
filed.
“The visitor was a man of markedly
religious temperament, and he gazed at
the cannibal with horrror.
" ‘Is this really a cannibal?’ he
asked the showman.
" 'You bet he Is,’ the showman an
swered. 'Do you know how he was
captured? That great living curiosity
was captured, sir, In the act of boiling
an aged Baptist minister over a slow
fire.'
“ 'Then convert him,' the visitor cried.
'Oh. my friend, why don’t you convert
him ?’
"The showman made a gesture of dis
gust.
“ ‘Convert him!’ he said. 'Do you
think the public would pay a dime a
head to see a Christian?’ ”
