"The chief chemist of the depart­ ment of agriculture," says Profess­ or Winters of Baltimore, "has de­ cided to investigate the methods of food preservation in this country. Only a short time ago Gfermany prohibited tho use of borax in pre­ serving meats, If people knew the processes which tlieir meat under­ went, they would hesitate about eating so much of it. Take corned hoof, for instance. A flank of beef is put in a vat filled wdtlx a solution of borax, saltpeter and hard water, and it is loft to soak several weeks before ready .to cat. What kind of a digestion could stand that? Al­ most all meats are preserved by borax. Salicylic add,, also used in preserving some things, is a power­ ful stomaclh destroyer, and there are other substances used daily by 'pure food dealers' that are equally de­ structive. A rigorous investigation, followed’ by a genuine .reform, would vastly benefit the public health."—New York Tribune. Loose Railroading.

Guard, station' master, porters and spectators yelled, but without effect. The engine ran -for Six miles before it was discovered that it had nothing behind it. The most disquieting fentutc of tho in­ cident was the fact that it passed several signal boxes without receiv­ ing any warning lo stop. A Mystery 6t the Trees, ' One^ of tho most puzzling ques­ tions in botany- is, "Why or how does water riso to the top of a tree.?" Marions explanations of tho phenomenon have been proposed, but none is regarded as altogether satisfactory. Dr. 15. B. Copeland recently attacked the problem by means of interesting and novel ex­ periments. For instance, bo con­ structed an "artificial tree" of plas­ ter of paris and found that water " m m ji ____________________ I ' T H O M S O N S ii mm- A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR! e*a «■ W ork 'w ill ox that W *>t I T o our hundreds o f friends and customers, w e extend ^greetings” for the New F U £ c * s ~ ir ;£m * ?n j- Vear, W e take this opportunity of thanking a il fo r the grand support JT J ‘ . forded us, and in order to merit a continued patronage we quote a few prices i nfj.Tp on m any hargains that w ill a lw a y s be found in bur store during y e a r of xgpg,.■••* tw en t y - s i : CT k *? m P f ® j 'SUMS. •>- * > '1 ,* sa» tei' -<V -(-If.fiT .
