'They found the wrong bottle"
that is the simple explanation put
forward by one coroner in Illinois
for 148 deaths from accidental
poisoning in this district last year.
Grasninsr the death dealing Dhial un
wittingly, perhaps in the dark, hur-!,ctter 88 the legislators intended. It,
ried that many persons into un
poison sent out bore a device with a
serrated or saw tooth- edge which
would tell instantly in the dark that
the seeker for medicine was grasping
poison. The health boards responsi
bility did not go beyond sending out
the samples and no effort was made
tr see that the law was being en
forced. After the first stock of de
vices was used up most druggists
ordered no more, though every man
of them knows that he is violating
the law when he sends out a btotle
of poison without the warning de
vice. Some are still observing the
law carefully.
The' "poison bottle" law is a good
law and should be enforced to the
June 13. 1914.

timely graves. Consequently the of
ficial recommends the passing of a
law prohibiting the sale of liquid
poison except in distinctive "porcu
pine" bottles, and of poison tablets
save in odd colors and shapes.
Doubtless the coroner will get the
legislations he craves. What then?
Will the law be enforced, or allowed
to lapse for lack of enforcement as
has Michigan's "poison bottle" sta
tute of 1911?
That statute was drastic enough to
be an effective preventive of acci
dents, if public officials busied them
selves with its enforcement. It pro
vided that all stops or stoppers on
poison containers shall have fitted
thereon a wood, celluloid, glass or
metal dise sufficient to call attention
t. the fact that, either in daylight or
darkness, that the bottle or re
ctptable contains poison or poison

PERFECT CONFIDENCE
Do you know how
To find relief from backache;
To correct distressing urinary ills
To assist weak kidneys?
Your neighbors know the way
Have used Doan's Kidney Pills;
Have proved their worth In many
tests.
Here's Union testimony.
Charles Adams, painter, Union,
Ore., says: "Like a great many people
who follow my occupation, I had at
tacks of kidney complaint and back
ache. I felt miserable while the a-t
tacks lasted. Several years . ago I
heard about Doan's Kidney Pills, and
got a supply. I have kept them on
hand ever since. Whenever I feel
thnt my kidneys nee da little toning
up and when I am troubled by back
ache, Doan's Kidney Pills give me
prompt relief. It is a pleasure for me
to confirm the stntement I have given
before, praising Doan's Kidney Pills."

It's Grandmother's recipe to bring

Everybody is using it again.
Gnxy hair, however : handsome, denotes
advancing age. We all know the advnn

any drug store a 60 cent bottle of
"WyetJi's Sape and Sulphur Hair Ri'in

reidy-to-iise preparation, because it dark,

dandruff, stops scalp itching and falling

You n.oi'ton rt ponp or soft brush with
it, drawing this through the hair, taking

restored and it become thick, glossy and
