DEFENDS POPULAR REMEDIES
Speaker Says Newspapers Should In-
vestigate Merits of Medicines Be-
fore Barring Advertisements.
That an organized attempt has been
made to blacken the reputation of the
popular family remedies of this coun-
iry, and to mislead the newspaper
publishers into rejecting the adver-
tising of such medicines, was the
charge made by Carl J, Balliett, of
Buffalo, N. Y., at the convention of the
Advertising Affiliation at Detroit.
Mr. Balliett is a director of the Pro-
prietary Association of America, which
includes in its membership two hun-
dred firms which make dhe popular
prepared medicines of America.
Mr. Balliett pointed out that it is
the duty of the newspaper publisher
to refuse the advertising of any fake
or fraudulent medicine, just as it is
his duty to refuse any fake or fraudu-
lent advertising, but it is not right to
shut down on all medical advertising
because there have been some fakers,
any more than it would be right to
refuse to publish all department store
advertising because certain stores
have made a practice of lying about
bargain sales.
Disease and death are mysteries.
People who are perfectly well are
skeptical. They laugh at the time-
worn patent medicine joke, just as
they laugh again and again over the
many variations of the operation joke
—*“The operation was a success but
the patient died.” This so-called hu-
mor has perhaps hurt the medicine
business with well people, but when
the hitherto healthy man feels a se-
vere pain or illness, he immediately
wants medicine, and will bless the
cure whether it be at the hands of a
Superior—
“Surpassing others in great-
ness, goodness, extent or
value of any quality.’ —
Century Dictionary.
That's the definition, and
that's why Post Toasties
are called the
Superior Corn Flakes
—the surpassing, delicate
Indian Corn flavour being
sealed in by skillful toast-
ing with sugar and salt.

regular doctor, a homeopath, an osteo-
path, a Christian Scientist or patent
medicine. There is nothing more
deadly than disease; nothing more
honorable than to cure it.
Mr. Balliett refuted the idea sought
to be spread about that patent medi-
cines are unpopular by showing that
from 1900 to 1912 the amount of pre-
pared medicines consumed in America
increased from $100,000,000 to $160,-
000,000 annually. He showed that, al-
though the American Medical Associ-
ation is trying as an organization to
exterminate so-called patent medi-
cines, the family doctor, individuaily,
is not fighting them ‘but prescribing
them. He estimated that 40% of the
prescriptions written by doctors today
include proprietary medicines.
The writings of Dr. Harvey W. Wi-
ley, he said, have also aimed to de-
stroy confidence in proprietary medi-
cines; but that Dr. Wiley’s ideas are
not infallible is shown by cases where
his analyses were entirely wrong. Mr.
Balliett mentioned a case where, with
all the power of the Government, he
fought a preparation as being danger-
ous to health, and was ingloriously
walloped.
There has been spread the idea that
a clever faker can mix a few useless
ingredients and, by smart advertising,
sell tons of it and win sudden wealth;
whereas, as a matter of fact, the medi-
cine business is notoriously difficult,
and, where there has been one success
at it, there have been a Hundred fail-
ures. Any medicine which has no
merit cannot live, because persons
who are duped into buying it once will
not buy it again, and the profit from
advertising a medicine can only come
from repeat sales to the same, satis-
fied people. Therefore, any medicine
which has been on the market for a
number of years, and is still adver-
tised, must have merit behind it to ac-
count for its success.
In conclusion Mr. Balliett declared
that no newspaper is doing justice to
its readers in the matter of medical
or other advertising, unless it investi-
gates, not only the wording of the ad
vertisement offered for publication,
but the merits of the article adver
tised. He pointed out that the few
newspapers who have been deluded
into the policy of barring out medical
advertising have adopted this general
policy, rather than to ferm an inves-
tigation bureau of this kind which
could, in a constructive and useful ef-
fort, investigate and decide what is
a good product and what is a fraud,
in not only the medicine business, but
in every other business which adver-
tiges its wares to the public.
The audience seemed to agree with
Mr. Balliett’s ideas on the subject and
the chairman decided the question at
issue in his favor.
Guilty.
The justice of the peace in a town
in Ohio, in pursuance of his duties,
had to hear and judge cases that were
brought before him and also to per-
form occasional marriage ceremonies.
He found it difficult to dissociate the
various functions of his office.
Everything had gone smoothly un-
til he asked one bride: “Do you take
this man to be your husband?”
The bride nodded emphatically.
“And you, accused,” said the justice,
turning to the bridegroom, “what have
you to say in your defense?”

Orange Cream.—Beat until stiff a

Particularly is this
true of Peter. That Jesus could found
a church on the vulgar tragedy of a
criminal’s death was beyond the range
of his understanding. This self-con-
fidence was the beginning of his fall,
Prov. 16:18. It is pride like this
which men have in their own strength,
that is the chief reason why they are
not saved. If they are able to care,
for themselves, why do they need th
help of another? /
Peter's Denials.
Peter trusted his own heart. A man
is a fool who will trust sucha deceitful
member, Jer. 17:9, Prov. 28:26.
Peter's loud profession is answered by
a definite prophecy of his utter fail-
ure, v. 30. “Before the cock shall
crow twice, thou shall deny me
thrice.” Again Peter contradicts the
Lord, “I will not deny thee.” Peter's
later denial of the person of Jesus in
the judgment hall is prefaced by a
denial of his master’s assertions on
the way thither. He had to learn wis-
dom and humility in the bitter school
of experience. Peter is quite like us
all, but he did learn and profited there;
by (I Peter 5:5), which cannot be
said of all of us.
that it is a favorite dish with many.
It may be served with cream and
sugar as a dessert or with butter as a

SOME BEST DISHES.
Here is a dainty dessert which is
good enough for the best of compa-
nies: Mix together two
and a half cupfuls of su-
gar, one cupful of water
and a tablespoonful of
flour, boil and strain
with the juice of three
lemons, three oranges
three mashed bananas
and a can of grated
pineapple, with three
cupfuls of water. Fold
in three egg whites beaten stiff and
freeze as usual.
Marshmallow Cream.—This is a most
delicious dessert which may be easily
made and takes the place of a frozen
dish. Cut half a pound of marshmal-
low in fourths, add to a cupful of
cream beaten stiff, and two stifily
beaten whites of eggs, one cupful of
walnut meats broken in bits, a table-
spoonful of powdered sugar and a
pinch of salt. Flavor with any de-
sired flavoring and serve in sherbet
cups. Garnish with cubes of jelly or
with candied cherries.
Filled Cookies.—To a half cupful of
shortening add a cupful of sugar, one
egg and half a cupful of sweet milk in
which one teaspoonful of soda is dis-
solved. Sift three and a half cupfuls
of flour with two teaspoonfuls of cream
of tartar add a teaspoonful of vanilla
and mix well, roll out thin and cut
with a cooky cutter. Cook a cupful
of chopped raisins with half a cupful
of water, a tablespoonful of flour and
lemon juice to taste. When thick re-
move and place a teaspoonful on one
cooky, cover with another and bake
until brown. A filling of figs and dates
may be used instead of raisins if so
desired. :
String beans either canned or fresh-
ly cooked make a most satisfying salad,
with a bit of chepped onion and any
salad dressing desired.

around shoal water during the sea

Il. Following Afar Off, vv. 53, 54.
Peter “followed afar’ into the court
of the high priest's palace. ‘We have
suggested (Lesson of Nov. 1st) that
zeal and affection prompted Peter, yet
he was expressly forbidden and fore-
warned, John 13:36-38. Some one has
said that the development of Peter's
weakness began in the garden when
he ceased to pray. That courtyard
and its brazier of coals was a danger-
ous place for any disciple of the Lord.
The servants and soldiers of the pow-
ers against Christ were congregated
about that first. It is never safe to
warm oneself at the enemies’ fire
though we see it constantly being
done, Matt. 6:13; Ps. 1:1.
111. “l Know Not This Man,” vv. 66-
72. While at the fire, a serving maid
looking at Peter said, “Thou also wast
with the Nazarne, even Jesus.” Im-
mediately and without any seeming
hesitancy Peter denied, and declared
his ignorance both of the man and of
understanding what she said. Peter
did not sympathize with what was be-
ing done to Jesus, but at heart he was
not brave enough to separate him-
self from the enemies of Jesus thereby
to draw upon himself some sort of
censure or condemnation. Thus con-
forming to the world about him made
it easy for Peter to utter his first
note of denial. Having done so he
passed on into the porch and heard
the first crowing ef the cock. The
apparent contradiction between Mark
and the other writers over the ques-
tion of the ngmber of maids seems
to be solved by John 18:25, where
reference is made to several who
spoke at the same time. Doubtless
the words of the first maid are re-
enforced by those of another on the
second occasion; they both brought an
accusation against him.
Speech Betrayed Peter.
This second maid addressing the
onlooking spectafors said, “This is one
of them,” and again Peter dentes the
accusation. He had escaped one pre:
dicament only to be plunged into an-
other and perhaps more dangerous
one. To deny afresh seemed to be
the only way of escape, James 4:4; 1
Cor. 15:32 R. V. A few words of a
serving maid filled Peter with dis-
may but a second denial did not de-
liver him from his predicament. After
a little those standing with him de-
clared he must be one of the follow-
ers of Jesus, for his speech betrayed
him to be a Galilean. Then Peter
touched the bottom, for he accom-
panies his denial with curses.
From his high and exalted state of
mind, his high hopes as to Jesus, he
sees himself a traitor and Jesus about
to be -erushed by the hand of man.
Peter was passionately devoted to
Jesus and had felt that he could go
with him to the limit. Once before
at Caesarea-Philippi Peter had been
warned. He had been mystified by
what Jesus said about the cross and
had protested. He had high and noble
aspirations but they carried him be
yond the limits of his permission into
danger and defeat.
There is always the gravest danger
fn ambition that is not controllad

Tomatoes, lettuce and cucumbers,
| apples and celery, asparagus, string
beans and radishes—all the range of
fruits .and vegetables—combine in
salads in such endless variety that
the only law of combination lies in
individual taste. Dressings, too, vary,
but in them rule must be more nearly
followed. These three recipes for
salad dressing are given by Miss Cora
E. Binzel, instructor in home econo-
mics, University of Wisconsin exten-
sion division:
French Dressing.—One tablespoon-
ful vinegar, one-quarter teaspoonful
onion juice, three tablespoonfuls olive
oil, one-eighth teaspoonful pepper,
one-quarter teaspoonful salt. Add salt,
pepper and onion juice to vinegar.
Then add the olive oil, beating until
thick and well blended. : Use a cold
bowl and cold ingredients. The in-
gredients may be put into a wide-
mouthed bottle, corked and shaken
until an eriulsion is formed. The
dressing may be mixed and set in the
icebox until chilled; the oil and vine
gar will separate on standing and re-
quire further beating. Following the
correct proportions French dressing
may be made in large amounts, kept
in a bottle in the icebox and shakem
before using.
Sour Cream Dressing—One-half pint
sour cream, two tablespoonfuls lemon
juice, one tiablespoonful sugar, one
teaspoonful salt, one-quarter teaspoon:
ful pepper, one teaspoonful mustard.
Beat the cream until it is light and
thick; add the other ingredients.
Sweet cream may be substituted.
Cream Salad Dressing.—Ten egg
yolks, one-half cupful butter, one tea
spoonful salt, one tablespoonful mus
tard, one-quarter teaspoonful pepper,
. one teaspoonful sugar, juice of twe
| lemons or one-quarter cupful vinegar
Melt the butter, cool it, and when

| mixed with seasonings. Cook over
water until thick, stirring constantly.

and mix with whipped cream as it is
used.

and cabbage are good broken in small |
pieces covered with grated cheese and |

5. Small portions of leftover cereals |
may be added to the pancake batter |
and will greatly improve the cakes. |
Or they may be rolled into balls and |
fried, or added to the soup stock.
6. The tough ends of steak may be
chopped very fine, seasoned well with
pepper, salt, butter and a little onion
juice and formed into balls or cakes
for sautes or broiled for luncheon.
Scraps of white meat may be chopped,
mixed with a white sauce warmed up
and garnished with parsley and hard-
boiled eggs. The carcasses of fowl and
the bones of roasts should be used
to make a nourishing soup. Beef fat
and drippings and the fat from poul-
try should be clarified and kept for
frying. Wings and legs of fowls that |
are left over are good grilled for
luncheon.
7. Sour milk may be used for corn
bread, griddle cakes, ginger bread and
biscuits. It may be made into cream
cheese or turned into a refreshing
drink by icing it and whippirg it for
about five minutes with an egg beater.
