"Schemes to diminish, or destroy the sale of proprietary medicines are constantly being devised by, interested parties. Every now and then soma - zealous reformer comes to the front with the demand for a law to requires every package of proprietary medi­ cine to be labeled with a printed statement of the 'formula/ showing • just how it is manufactured. The mil* lions of people who use proprietary medicines seem to be satisfied; but the man with a mania for regulating the affairs of other people or who has some personal interest to serve is the one who agitates the proposition. To a person who has never taken time to consider It, such a proposition may seem reasonable enough; yet it is in fact nothing more nor less than a scheme to compel the manufactur­ ers to put their trade throughout the entire country at the mercy of every commercial pirate who might choose to flood the market with Imitations of their goods. "Under such conditions the incen­ tive for the original manufacturer to advertise his goods would be practi­ cally destroyed, for the money spent on advertising would inure mainly to the benefit of the pirates and imita­ tors. Without advertising, the public would receive little information in regard to the medicine, and all future sales would be greatly impaired if not wholly destroyed. It is mainly by jiidicious advertising that the knowl­ edge of proprietary medicines is brought to the public. Nothing is more certain than that millions of peo­ ple have found relief at a compara­ tively small expense by the use of some remedy first called to their notice through newspaper advertising. Why, then, should the manufacturer of a meritorious proprietary remedy be compelled by law to practically destroy his business as a condition of being allowed to carry it on? - Yet that is exactly what these formula bills mean.--Exchange.

The l&te Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge visited a St Louis family some years ago. There was in this family a little boy with an inordinately sweet tooth. "Mrs. Dodge," said the boy's mother one day, "do you think it is right for Bobby to eat so much bread and jam ?" "It doesn't hurt him," the visitor answered. "But all that Jam?" complained the mother anxiously. "Oh," said Mrs. Dodge, with a grim smile, "he doesn't eat It. He leaves it on the doorknobs." Prince Louis Not "Royal." Quite a shock has been administer­ ed to New York society by the discov­ ery that Prince Louis of Battenberg, whose prospective visit caused such a flutter on Manhattan island, is the offspring of a morganatic marriage. His mother was a mere Russian count­ ess and he is not really a "royal high­ ness"--merely a "serene highness." The Battenberg title was created for her and her children.

KALAMAZOO STOVt OOMPHT, SMUrMTNttl, •niiuuna : The Keiffer Pear* The KelfTer pear is the mo#t |hrem- Inent pear being grown east of the Rocky Mountains. While it is not so highly recommended as the Bart- lett, yet It is to-day more widely grown than even that famous pear. The Keiffer occupies the place among pears that the Ben Davis does among apples. Like the Ben Davis, its quality is fair to poor, yet the tree is such a heavy bearer and can be so depended upon to produce a crop, that we find orchardists planting it more extensively than any of the other pears. It may be that its poor quali­ ty comes largely from our ignorance of how it should be handled. An or- chardlst tells the writer that the Keif­ fer is a very good pear if allowed to hang on the tree until fully matured and then laid away in a dark place to mellow. In such a place it should be kept for six weeks, and when taken out will have a good flavor and a proper texture for eating. He says that usually they are picked while Immature, although apparently of good size, and that that accounts for the very pronounceable lack of flavor in this pear. I am not at all sure that his opinion is correct, but cer­ tainly now and then we do find some Keiffer pears that are very good for eating raw. The principal growers of Keiffers say that they do not consider It as a dessert pear, but as a cooking pear; but for a cooking pear we need as high a flavor as for any other purpose. If there is any flavor in the Keiffer pear that ordinary treat­ ment does not bring out, it should be secured through a better treatment When large orchards of Keiffer pears are planted, they should in no case be planted by themselves. Some other pear that blooms at the same time should be planted with them. The Garber is regarded as the best for this purpose. The Keiffer pear, more than any other of which we know, requires to be cross-pollenized. When left to the pollenization with its own pollen, It is a very uncertain bearer, and more than one great or­ chard has been cut down because the owner did not know what to do to insure fruitfulness. Where an or­ chard of Keiffer pears has been brought to bearing age, and no trees for cross pollenizing it have been planted, years of time will be saved by grafting the branches with the varieties that should have been used for pollenization.--Farmers' Review. Expensive Mulching. Professor Green of Ohio some years ago carried on a number of experi­ ments relative to the mulching of or­ chards. He took orchards growing in natural sod and mulched them with straw that cost $8 per ton on the farm where it was raised. In addi­ tion to this cost, there was a cost for hauling. The grass in the orchard was mowed and left on the ground. The test was a comparative one, half of the orchard being mulched, and the other half kept cultivated during the growing season. There was se­ vere drouth that year, and the fruit of the mulched trees withstood the drouth much better thaa the fruit on the cultivated ground. At the end of the season the results were so much in favor of the mulched orchard that the professor declared his belief that mulching material would pay even at $8 per ton. We would not, however, recommend our readers to undertake mulching experiments when the mulching material costs as much as it did in that experiment in Ohio. Usually straw suitable for mulching can be purchased at $3 or $4 a ton. Even this is unnecessary on many farms where there is a very large amount of material going to waste in the form of swamp grass, sedges, cat­ tails and weeds. Some of our great growths of sweet clover, stretching for miles along the highway, could be mowed and used for mulching pur­ poses, after a slight drying to prevent their too rapid decomposition. If mulching paid Professor Green, when the raw material at a distance coBt $8 per ton, it certainly should pay on the farm where it costs only the trouble of hauling it. Aeid Strength of Vinegar. In some of our states the pure food laws regulate the strength of vinegar, and it is quite generally required that cider vinegar shall have at least 4.5 per cent of acetic acid. It is assumed that if the vinegar does not come up to this requirement the product has been adulterated by the adding of water. Yet it is a fact that can be demonstrated that some of the cider made from apples will not produce vinegar that has the required amount of acetic acid. This seems never to have been considered by the legis­ lators. If partly ripe apples are used or if the apples have passed beyond , their prime they sometimes do not con­ tain enough sugar to produce 4.5 per cent of acetic acid in the vinegar. We do not say that the law should be changed, but warn farmers to use fully matured apples. It is also the part of wisdom to avoid the soaking of the pomace with water and squeez­ ing it a second time to get out more of the juice. It is true that if the vinegar la to be use# at home this may make no difference, but it may if the vinegar is to be sold on the market. If cider has been made from unripe apples or soaked pomace the water content may be reduced by giving it an opportunity to evaporate a certain per cent of water while it is undergoing the chemical changes required to make it into vinegar. Rice Paper. MWt of our readers hare seen rice paper, which is quite largely imported from China. This is made from ft plant hntanlonllw Vnnwn as "fatsia papyrlfera." The part used is the pulp, which is split open and pressed flat, after whicn it la dried. It is used for painting on and also for pen work. An attempt 1B to be made to grow it in this country, and it has been imported into Florida.

Many of the largest advertisers to the country have come to the conclu­ sion that out-of-door advertising is a waste of money, and that no results come from the placing of signs on hill­ sides and in all sorts of conspicious places. The concerns that do that sort of work are curtailing expenses, knowing well that the beginning of the end of their business is at hand. In addition to this, there is a decided movement all over the country to do away with the billboard horror, the argument against it being its hideous- ness and the marring effect on the scenery in the rural districts and Its, damage to contiguous property in the cities.--Rochester Union and Adver­ tiser.

WOMEN'SNEGLECT 8UFFERIN6THE SURE PENALTY Health Thus Lost Is Restored by Lydli B. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound. How many women do you know who are perfectly well and strong ? We hear every day the same story over and over again. " I do not feel well * I am BO tired all the time I" .All J J Ha te McDonald More than likely you speak the same words yourself, and no doubt vou feel far from well. The cause may be easily traced to some derangement of the fe­ male organs which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything, backache, bearing-down pains, flatulency, nerv­ ousness, sleeplessness, leucorrhoea. These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and unless heeded a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result. The never-failing remedy for all these symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg­ etable Compound. Miss Kate McDonald, of WoodMdfe, N. J., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: / " I think that a woman naturally disliwis to make her troubles known to the public, but restored health has meant so much to mt that I cannot help from telling mint* for the sake of other suffering women. " For a long time I suffered untold agony with a uterine trouble and breguJaritiss, ttonghtTwouId recover, but Lydia B.

Chicago, Oct. 10.--The Peruna Drug Manufacturing Company, manufactur­ ers of a widely known proprietary med­ icine, has brought suit in the Superior Court of the City of Chicago against the Curtis Publishing Company of Phil­ adelphia, alleging that It has been damaged to the extent of $250,900 by a recent article' In the Ladies' Home Journal. The suit is based on a statement re­ cently made in that Journal that a testimonial as to the merit of the rem­ edy manufactured by the plaintiff, al­ leged to have been given by Congress­ man George H. White of South Caro­ lina, was fraudulent, denial from Mr. White that he ever gave such a testi­ monial also being printed. The Peruna company declares that Congressman White did give the testi­ monial in good faith, and that it has two original letters from Mr. White. It declares that Mr. White was led to repudiate the testimonial through a misunderstanding. ;j This is the second large damage suit that has been filed against the Curtis Publishing company since It inaugur­ ated.Its attacks on "Patent Medicines."
