which was made by 1he United States
Ierest service, took offect on July I.
when the official nimrod assumed his

Utah.
The appointment, according to a
statement made by th" forest service,
has greater significance than appears
on the surface." To this explanation
is added that "it is a fulfillment of the
promise of the forest service to do
*omcthing to help settlers all over the
west to lessen the losses they have
Miifcred from predatory animals."

IT IS predicted in official circles that
the forthcoming bulletin of the bu-
reau of labor will show that the in-
'•i'"'M in wages this year have broken
all records and that the prosperity
which is so much heralded is tangible
••ind that the working people are fully
partle pating in it. Whether they are
reci iving their full share is a question
which cannot be answered officially or
otherwise to tile satisfaction of all
Co! . ■ icd, but it is stated that, official
figures will show that the advances in
wagi s during the last. 12 months have
been unprecedented.
Along with the increase in wages
lias been experienced an increase In
the cost of living. The purchasing
power of money has decreased both
when applied to labor and to living.
While ti arts and monopolies have in
some instances destroyed the power of
supply and demand to affect prices, it
is promised that normal and natural
rules will apply when the department
<>f justice completes its programme of
attacks upon the combinations. So far
as supply affects prices Secretary Wil-
son says that lie will produce bounti-
ful harvests. While he cannot promise
bumper crops he says emphatically
that there can be no crop failure, and
that the yield of the principal crops
will be abundant, large enough to go

around and leave a comfortable mar-
gin for export.
"If the railroads could only get the
labor the investment of money in bet-
terments this year would exceed any-
thing ever reported," says John T.
Marcliaud, assistant to the president
of the Kock Island system, who until
recently was a highly valued employe
of the interstate commerce commis-
sion. "The trouble is that the labor
can't be had at any price. We are do-
ing everything possible, for instance,
on the Rock Island lines to establish a
strictly first-class condition. It has
been only by the greatest exertion that
we have been able to get ties, of which
we had hundreds of thousands bought,
delivered to us. No labor.
"Hut it can be set down as certain
that next fall and winter will not see
a repetition of the troubles of last win-
ter. The railroads have their tracks
in condition, have more cars, more
power, more of everything and have
put it all into the best possible state
of efficiency. Tonnage is so big that
the prospect of a small reduction,
which seemed to be promised during
the spring, was really rather gratify-
ing to the operating departments, for
it gave them a chance to catch up with
business. But the reduction evidently
isn't going to take place, for crop con-
ditions are vastly better than anybody
dreamed was possible at that time."
MAY PUT NAME OF DAVIS
BACK ON FAMOUS BRIDGE SL
_____
WliKN Franklin Pierce was pres-
ident of the United States his sec-
retary of war was Jefferson Davis, aft-
erward president of the Confederate
States of America.
During the Pierce administration
the government improved the Dis-
trict of Columbia in many ways. One
of the public utilities was the Wash-
ington aqueduct, famous iu legend as
the Cabin John bridge.
This big stone archway was, at
the time of its construction, the
largest bridge of masonry in the
world. It was over 220 feet long and
its arch over XO feet high.
The bridge was not completed un-
til Lincoln's administration, and as
it was erected under the supervision
of the war department, a stone tablet
was inserted in the masonry bearing
the names of the presidents and secre-
taries of war who had to do with
the work. Of course, Jefferson
Davis' name appears with the rest.
When the war of the rebellion be-
gan, and the erstwhile secretary of
war became the executive head of the
confederacy, the name of Jefferson
Davis was chiseled off this tablet,
and to-day a glaring blank occupies
the space.
As sectional prejudice has disap-
peared, this little expression of ani-
mosity has been regretted by many
who approved and who might have
cheered the deed at the time of its
commission. More than once replac-
ing the name has been suggested.
A few days ago the president re-
ceived a letter on the subject from
Walter I'. Phillips of Bridgeport,
Conn., and this document he referred
to the war department. .
This is the iirst time the agitation
has been put into any definite and
official form, and it is believed steps
may soon be taken to restore the
tablet to something resembling its
former solf.
SECRETARY CORTELYOU
GIVES GARFIELD SNUB
SECRETARIES CORTELYOU and
Garfield hove laid the foundations
tor a line quarrel. Some time ngo
Garfield issued a regulation for the
officers and clerks of his department
which permitted tlicni to tile expense
accounts without swearing to their
accuracy and truth.
(larfield figured that if the govern-
ment could not trust the men it sent
out to look after its business to ren-
der a true bill or expenses it had
Letter get other men.
Robert J. Tracewell, comptroller of
the treasury, who passes on all ques-
tions of law relating to disbursements
of money, and George B. Cortelyou, his
official superior, think otherwise. They
think tlie jurat is necessary because
they believe the law requires verifica-
tion under oath.
Tracewell and Cortelyou have put.
out a new method of accounting for
money disbursed by the government,
in which they set aside the Gartield
regulation without mentioning It or
without having consulted the most
pioininent member of the tenuis cab-
inet.
In view of the standing of Garfield
at the White House, this shows won-
derful temerity on the part of Cortel-
you. The only way Garfield can pre-
vent this cold official ignoring of him
and his act is to appeal to the presi-
dent.
ARE PHYSICIANS' PRESCRIPTIONS
NOSTRUMS?
To one not qualified, and few lay-
men are, to discriminate intelligently
between physicians' prescriptions, pro-
prietary medicines and nostrums, it-
may seem ilttK. short of a t i imo to
hint even that physicians' prescrip-
tions r.re in any manner related to
nostrums; nevertheless, an impartial
examination of all the facts in the
case leads irresistibly to the conclu-
sion that every medicinal preparation
compounded and dispensed by a physi-
cian Is, in the strict sense of the word,
a nostrr.m, and that the average,
ready-prepared proprietary remedy is
superior to the average specially-pre-
pared physicians' prescription.
What is a nostrum? According to
the Standard Dictionary a nostrum is
"a medicine the composition of which
is kept a secret." Now, when a physi-
cian compounds and dispenses with
his own hands a remedy for the treat-
ment of a disease—and it Is authorita-
tively stated that probably CO per
cent, of all physicians' prescriptions
in this country are so dispensed—the.
names and quantities of the ingre-
dients which constitute the remedy
are not made known to the patient.
Hence, since its composition is kept a
secrct by the physician, the remedy or
prescription is unquestionably, in the
true meaning of the word, a Simon-
pure nostrum. Furthermore, the pro-
scription compounded by the average
physician is moro than likely to bo a
perfect jumble—replete with thera-
peutic, physiologic and chemical in-
compatibilities and bearing all the ear-
marks of pharmaceutical incompe-
tency; for it is now generally admitted
that unless a physician has made a
special study of pharmacy and passed
some time in a drug store for the pur-
pose of gaining a practical knowledge
of modern pharmaceutical methods,
ho is not fitted to compound remedies
for u'j. patients. Moreover, a physi-
cian who compounds his own prescrip-
tions not only deprives the pharmacist
of his just emoluments, but he endan-
gers the lives of patients; for it is
only by the detection and elimination
of errors in prescriptions by clever,
competent prescriptionists that the
safety of the public can be effectually
shielded from the criminal blunders
of ignorant physicians.
Nor can it be said that the average
physician is any moro compotent to
formulate a prescription than he is to
compound it. When memorized or di-
rectly copied from a book of "favorite
prescriptions by famous physicians,"
or from some text-book or medical
journal, the prescription may be all
that it. should be. It is only when the
physician is required to originate a
formula on the spur of the moment
that his incompetency is distinctly evi-
dent. Seemingly, however, the physi-
cians of the United States are little
worse than the average British physi-
cian; for we find Dr. James Burnett,
lecturer on Practical Materia Medica
and Pharmacy, Edinburgh, lamenting
in the Medical Magazine the passing
of the prescription and bemoaning tho
fact that seldom does ho find a "final
man" able to devise a prescription
even in "good contracted Latin."
And what, it may be asked, is the
status of the written prescription—the
prescription that is compounded and
dispensed by the pharmacist—is it,
too, a nostrum? It may be contended
that the patient, with tho written
formula in his possession, may learn
the character of the remedy pre-
scribed. So. possibly, he might if he
understood Latin and were a physician
or a pharmacist, but as he usually pos-
sesses no professional training and
cannot read Latin, tho proscription is
practically a dead secret to him.
Furthermore, the average prescription
Is so badly written and so greatly
abbreviated that even the pharmacist,
skilled as be usually is in deciphering
medical hieroglyphs, is constantly
obliged to interview prescribers to
find out what actually has been pre-
scribed. It may also be contended,
that inasmuch as the formula is known
to both physician and pharmacist tho
prescription cannot therefore be a se-
cret. But with equal truth it might bo
contemned that the formula of any so-
called nostrum is not a secret since it
Is known to bolt proprietor and manu-
facturer; for It must net l>e forgotten
that, according to reliable nuiJiority,
95. per cent, of the proprietor* of so-
called patent medicines prepared .V.
this country have their remedies made
for them by large, reputable manufac-
turing pharmacists. But even should
u patient be able to recognize tho
names of the ingredients mentioned in
a formula he would only know half
the story. It is seldom, for instance,
that alcohol is specifically mentioned
In a prescription, for it is usually
masked iu the form of tinctures and
fluid extracts, as are a great many
other substances. It is evident, there-
fore, that the ordinary formulated pre-
scription is, to tho average patient, lit-
tle leas than a secret remedy or nos-
trum.
On the other hand, the formulae of
nearly all the proprietary medicines
that are exploited exclusively to the
medical profession as well as thosu
of a large percentage of tho proprie-
tary remedies that are advertised to
'he public (the so-called patent medi-
cines) are published in full. Under
the Fobd and Drugs Act, every medi-
cinal preparation entering interstate
commerce Is now required to have tho
proportion or quantity of alcohol,
opium, cocain and other habit-form-
ing or harmful Ingredients which it
may contain plainly printed on the
label. As physicians' prescriptions
seldom or never enter interstate com-
merce they are practically exempt un-
der the law. And If it be necessary
for the public to know tho composi-
tion of proprietary remedied, as Is
cootemiwl by thosu who through
1 norance or for mercenary reasons sro
j opposing the sale of all household
1 remedies, why is it not equally neces-
sary for patients to know the compo-
sition of the remedy prescribed by a
physician.' Does any sane person be-
lieve that ttye opium in a pliya*clan's
prescription is lei-s potent or less like-
| ly to errata a drug habit than tho opi- i
um in a proprietary medicine? As
| matter of fact, more opium-addictt
I and cocain-fiends hare been wade
through the criminal carelessness o'
i'jiivr.-. it physicians than by any oilier
m cans.
Unquestionably, there are a number
of proprietary remedies on the market
tie* Hales of which should be prohibit-
ed, and no doubt they will be when
the requirements of tho Food and
Drugs Act. are rigidly enforced; many
are frauds, pure and simple, antf soms
are decidedly harmful. Of the aver-
a " proprietary remedy, however, it
ma., truthfully bo said that it is dla*
Hill 'ly better than tho average physi-
cian:. prescription; for not only is its
coinp' -ition less secret, but it Is pre-
|i;i!nl for tho proprietor by reputable
ir ■ .< .ictitring pharmacists In iuagnifl-
cent]. equipped laboratories and un-
d r the supervision and advice of able

skillful pharmacists. It should not be
considered strange, therefore, that so
many physicians prefer to prescribe
these ready-prepared proprietary rem-
erl* s rather than trust those of their
own devising.

It was a busy day in the department

even more than usually officious.
The occasion for Simon's especial
good nature was a new and lavish cus-

engaging air of condescension, which

The Faithist community which has
established a modest footing in Bal-

ranges from the creation of man to
the "glory and labors of the gods and
goidesses of the Etherian heavens," is
the latest addition to the long list of
London's religious sects, which are

gave a little sigh of weariness as she
concluded her buying and unclasped
her purse.

purchases with me," she said, 1 wish

it won't trouble you too much, will
you have them packed at once and 1
shall take them in my carriage. What
is the amount?" She took a roll of
bills from her purse and counted them
slowly.
"Eleven hundred dollars, ma'am,"
said Simon, after a somewhat lengthy
calculation.
A faint flush had begun to color the
woman's features. She uttered a slight
but startled exclai lation. "I must con-
fess that 1 have exceeded by purse,"
she said, biushingly, "I haven't that
amount with me. However, I must
have those furs—and 1 can't wait until

out of the difficulty."
Simon led the way to the grated
window of old Marburg's office and
briefly related the situation.
"You would greatly oblige me," the
woman hastened to conclude, "if you
would allow your clerk here to accom-
pany me to my husband's office. My

THE LOAD OF THE LAZY.

Particular Way.
One of the neighborhood loafers sat
i comfortably smoking his fool pipe, ac-
] cording to bis daily custom, in the pre-
scription room of a drug store. Ha
| was soliloquizing aloud to the clerk.
Hire :s a sample of his sound, con
tented philosophy: "I'll tell you what!

In Praise of the Pie.
Laura Simmons tells in an articlo
why good New Englanders shonld
stick to pie, and calls attention to the
fact the* Emerson ate it three times
a day, and says that pie is the ladder
by which New England has climbed
to its place of proud eminence. She
questions whether any sensible per
Bon waa ever known to forage at the
midnight hour for predigested cereals
or tho Innocuous prune. She does not
baiieve that many New England ances-
tors died of apoplexy, due to pie, but
counsels all to go on pie eating, despite
the fact that tho fiat has gono Cortb

the horses slowed down to a walk and
he felt that their destination was near
at hand.
A hasty glance through tho carriage
window told him that they were on
the grounds of the Cheslea Private
Sanitarium. He immediately conclud-
ed that the woman opposite him was
the wife of some official of the estah-
, lishment. He was more strongly in-
trenched in this belief when the car-
riage drew up at the main doorway.
The woman arose and spoke with a
ravishing smile. "Won't you please
step up into the waiting room while 1
see Dr. Cheslea? I'll be gone but
just a moment."
Simon was only too happy to obey
and followed her into a cosv little
waiting room, where she left him.
Two attendants In uniforms were
lounging in the apartment and Simon
saw that they were wangling him
closely. The woman was gone but
a few moments when she returned.
She had a kerchief to her eyes and
was weeping. She stepped quickly to
his side and, before he realized what
she had done, she had kissed him im-
pulsively on the forehead and rushed
from the room sobbing loudly. The
iuddenness, the strangeness of it all
took Simon completely by surprise,
but in a moment he recollected him-
self and started after her. Ere he
reached the door an attendant seized
him by either arm.
'What does this mean "'' cried Si-
11:011. almost stunned at these unlook-
'■hI for proceedings.
"lie quiet, sir. Calm yourself." said
one of the men, speaking in a sooth-
ing voice, as if lo a child. "You must
stay here for a while, sir, and eujoy
a little vacation."
"What kind of a plot is this, gentle-
men? I am a clerk in the employ of
Marburg & Company. Let me go!"
ho cried, beginning to struggle help-
lessly.
"Softly, sir, we know all about you.
Mr Marburf has asked that you be
■;iven this little vacation. Your wife
asked it for you."
"iUy wU«: But I have no wife! 1
the city yesterday taking with him
check for $1,100 dollars paid him by
a wealth} customer No news of bis
wheroabount has been obtained."
Dr. Cheslea re-read the item with
a puzzled expression, then sat for
several moments staring before him
in silence. As if on sudden thought,
he then picked up a directory from
his desk and looked through It hur-
riedly. Then taking down the receiv-
er of his desk telephone he called tli#
number of Marburg's private office.
"Hello," a little excitedly, "I want
to talk with Mr. Marburg at once."
"This is Marburg right here," re-
lumed a grutf voice, "what can 1 do
for you?"
"Tills is Dr. Cheslea of the Cheslea
Sanitarium. 1 read of the disappear-
ance of your clerk, Simon Lane, and
wish to say that he Is here at the
sanitarium. He was placed here yes-
terday at the request of his wife and
at the advice of his physician."
"Ilis wife? Simon Lane, my clerk,
had no wife! Yon must be mistaken."
Dr. Cheslea saw in a flash the depth
of his deception. He dropped the tele-
phone aud pressed a button on Ills
desk.
"Go," he said calmly to the attend-
ant who appeared, "and show Mr,
Lane to my office—Mr. Lane, the gen-
tleman in number 97."
As Simon Lane, dejected and woe-
begone, appeared in the doorway of
the office Dr. Cheslea arose to meet
him and shook him warmly by tho
band.
"Mr. Lane," he said, "this institu-
tion has done you a great wrong. As
head of this institution I am responsi-
ble for it and 1 offer most humble apol-
ogy. It is plain that we both have
been much deceived."
The two talked earnestly together
for ten minutes, in the midst of the
discussion a call drove hurriedly up
the drive. Old Marburg alighted and
hastily mounted the steps and entered
the office.
"Simon!" lie cried, halting between
his old time confidence in his clerk
and his new, suddenly grounded sus-
picion.
"Mr. Marburg," said Dr. Cheslea,
"be seated. I am afraid, all uncon-
sciously, we have been parties to one
of the cleverest swindling tricks of
which I have ever heard. A woman
called here at my office the day before
yesterday with two gentlemen, one
of whom she introduced as her broth-
er. the othei of whom iKire the card
of a prominent north side doctor, a
gentleman for whom I have the great
est esteem professionally, but whom
unfortunately, 1 had never met This
woman stated that her husband was
insane, to which fact the two gentle-
men testified. She declared that his
Insane hobby was seiling furs, and
that lie imagined himself a clerk iu
tin' employ of Marburg and Company.
She spoke of him in terms of great
affection and seemed much movt"d.
I expressed the hope that we might
be able to benefit him by a few
months' treatment. She then explain
ed that lit' was very suspicious and
wary, also that he was very violeut
when crossed in his wishes or other-
wise disturbed in temper, but that
she would try, under some pretence,
to bring him quietly to the office here,
where we might take him in charge
Well, us vou see, she brought Mr.
Lane, who answered exactly to her
description and who, you will pardon
me, sir, certainly did exhibit the
symptoms she mentioned."
"Where is this woman now?" cried
old Marburg, very red and excited,
starting from his seat.
But even the best city detectives
failed to answer his question.
Squirrels Reared by a Cat.
Among the interesting things shown
at a recent meeting of the Zoological
society were two young specimens of
the Kngllsh squirrel, which had al-
most entirely changed in color from
the usual chestnut-brown to a light
drab, the ears and feet only showing
traces of the original color. It was
stated that the animals had been
taken from a nest when very young,
and put in charge of u cat, which
acted as foster-mother, and successful-
ly raised them. It was suggested that
this fact might have caused the color
