PERILS IN THE USE OF COAL TAR DRUGS New York. —Anttpyrln, acetanllld and phenacltln are veiV useful medi cines when properly administered, but they are drugs which no one has a right to take except when pre scribed by a physician, and then only as he prescribes them. There are certain persons who should never tuko them. Those are those with low blood pressure, or a weak heart, or anaemia. While they reduce temperature and relieve pain, they must be given only in the very llrst stage of acute illness and must not be taken repeatedly when the pain is recurrent. And anti pyrin should never be taken when there is any kidney trouble. This advice is given by the Journal of the American Medical Association. They cure a headache or other pain by slowing down the heart and thus lowering the pressure of the blood. And it is in this action on the heart that lies their danger. If symptoms of poisoning occur, an emetic should not be given, as there is generally such prostration that the patient cannot stand it. The stomach pump may be used, gently, to wash the poison out of the stomach. Dry heat, a hot-water bag over the heart, and powerful tonics, constitute the rest of the treatment. And the foot of the bed should be raised. INTERESTING PERSONAL NEWS MANY FRIERS ENJOY STORIES Public Meeting of Story Tell ers League Delights Audi ence ut Close of Season As though to prove that "men are but children of a larger growth," the assembly room of the Civic Club wus filled to capacity last evening with growaups for a story hour given by tht local branch of the Story Tellers League. Mrs. Harry G. Keffer, the retiring president, welcomed the guests and members of the league and n' nounced a most interesting pro gram. Mrs. Mary Snyder Rowland gave delightfully two Japanese tales. "The Firefly,", an exquisite story of the fairy Princess Moonbeam, who came to live on earth for a time, and whose tears at parting with her lover, fell down from Heaven and remain as fireflies, sparkling in the woods and swamps and meadows. "The Iris" told of the making of the rainbow in fanoTul thoughts. "Blind Bartimeus," Kate Twiner Bryce's beautiful narrative of a man who waited seventy years for the coming of "The Master" and saw Him at Christmas time after he had given his last gifts intended for the Christ to a little beggar boy, held the audience spellbound as related by Mrs. Robert Swartz Harl ing. Miss Helen G. Alleman, the chil dren's librarian 'of the Hurrisburg Public Library, wove a spell about the audience with Robert Brown ing's ever-thrilling "Pied Piper," and they were fain to follow, as the children did, where her sweet voice called. "The Rest of the Story." given by Mrs. David J. Reese, fol lowed (he adventures of the young sters taken into the mountain by the "Pied Piper, where they all re ceived gifts from the trees bearing their heart's desires, and when they wished to return to Jan, the little lame boy, their Companion, they took with thein the magic flower that kept them always childlike in heart. Mrs. Anna Hamilton Wood, al ways versatile, pleased everyone with her own story of "The Cross- Eyes Bear," the tale of a little city girl who came to.the country to live and made friends with the quiet folks of the churchyard, and Mrs. Keffer, whose appearance is always warmly greeted, showed In "The Shut-Up Posy" how sometimes the utmost sweetness of heart, tho real value of a life, is inside an unat tractive shell. At the close of the program, heartily applauded, Mrs. Sharon McDonald, in behalf of the organ ization, presented Mrs. Keffer with a mahogany sewing table and Mrs. Wood gave a corsage bouquet to Mrs. Reese, the Incoming president, with good wishes from the league. Right refreshments and a delight ful hour of social chat closed the largest and rpost successful public program the league has ever held.

The plans for next fall are not as yet formulated, as this well be deter mined largelv by the, educational [policy of the Y. M. C. A. directors next season. The Family Who Begged-for Dessert "I'd just like to make some ice cream for dinner to-night," said Mrs. Graham as she and Mrs. Norton sat sewing on the porch one afternoon. "But my ice cream always turns out thin and watery." "Did you ever try making ice cream with Puddine?" asked Mrs. Norton. "I think I have tried making it with everything under the sun!" ex claimed Mrs. Graham. "Puddine makes ice cream smooth and velvety," said Mrs. Norton. You'll be delighted with it." "What is it?" said her friend. "It's a prepared dessert." she an swered, "and more. You see. I never had much success with making corn starch pudding, and one day somebody told me about Puddine. Now we al most live on it." "Is it hard to make?" inquired Mrs. Graham. "Oh, no; all ydu do is to add sugar and milk, either fresh or condensed, and boil three minutes. It always turns out right. I pour mine into a mold, and then when it cools, have a Ilrm, smooth dessert, rich and creamy. And it's so pure and wholesome, I let the children have as much of it as they want." "What flavor is it?" said her friend. "Ob, you can got any flavor you like—your favorite—chocolate, vanil la, orange or lemon —and it's so eco nomical. Why, one 15c package will serve 15 people." "But you said something about making ice cream with it," said Mrs. Graham. "Yes, indeed." answered Mrs. Nor ton emphatically "There is the sim plest and tlncst recipe in the Puddine package. And as for pie and cake fillings—well, you'll be delighted with their richness and cveaminess." A few days later the friendH met. "My dear," exclaimed Mrs. Graham, "I bought some Puddine and made the most delicious ico cream you ever tasted, and now my family fairly begs for a Puddine dessert for every meal."
