MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY
The Journal of the American Med
ical association tells of a proprietary
poultice advertised as composed
mainly of "the finest anhydrous and
levigated argillaceous mineral."
Purchasers, much impressed with
these fine .words, never guess that
they mean simply "dry, powdered
clay."
,A proprietor who charged $2.50
an ounce for salt and sugar dissolved
In hydrant water, without telling the
composition of his nostrum, might
have, got away with it grandly and
gloriously, the Journal suggests, by
giving this truthful account:
"My preparation Is composed of
minimal quantities of a member of
the disaccharld carbohydrates, de
rived from the hezoses and capable
of yielding two hexose molecules by
hydrolysis, having as a general form
ula C-12 H-22 O-ll, and. crystalliz
ing In monocllnlo prisms, together
with an Interesting chemical combi
nation of natrium and chlorln
which, in its natural state, forms an
hydrous, cubical, or octahedral white
crystals. These are dissolved In a
colorless, limpid fluid compounded
of hydrogen and oxygen."
. Thus anyone may see how easy it
is to Impress the public by making
nse of the verbal, resources of the
medical profession. Medicines, pa
tent and otherwise, seem mysterious
Because of the high-sounding names
doctors give them.
"Why not sweep away all that Jar
gon, except for use in technical pub
lications intended only for physi
cians' eyes, and name medical ma
terials In plain English?
Nish. Serbia, Jan. 6. (Correspon
dence of the Associated Press.)
Three months of unremitting Indus
try, unhampered by Bulgarian and
Austrian depredations or Interfer
ence, have enabled the Serbian peo
ple to secure a new hold on lite.
With the country entirely free of In
vaders, the large peasant population
has succeeded in setting things in
order in surprising fashion, and con
ditions should be almost normal
soon.
Large quantities of wheat and
other staples, which the shrewd Ser
bian farmers hid from the nemy,
have reappeared. At the moment
the most pressing needs seems to be
clothing, shoes, fuel and agricultural
Implements.
Apparently there is plenty of
money in the country, some of it
having come from Austrian and Ger
man soldiers, who, it may be said to
their credit, uald for "most of the
articles they took from the Serbians
during their occupatfon. However,
the Bulgarians, who requisitioned
almost everything they required
from the already straitened popula
tion, often paid nothing for what
they took. In the cities moat of the
stored have no stocks because they
sold almost everything to the Aub
trlans and Germans.

Chihuahua City, Mex., Feb. 14.
Francisco Villa's recent raid on
Santa Eulalta. 16 tulles from hare
and the center of a thickly settled
mining district, was typical of his
raiding methods. Dashing Into the
mining town at dawn he shot the
sentries of the little federal garri
son, executed the capitaln in com
mand, and made prisoners of the re
maining 30 guards, nis men found
Antonio Cabello asleep in his home,
and took him before Villa In his
night clothes. Because of a grudge
of lanir. standing. Villa ordered hlra
executed, but postponed the execu
tlon until' he could round up all of
the Americans In camp. Some of
the American mining officials, hear
Ing the shooting, fled to the hiUs
and were fired upon by the villa
men. The others. Including the of
ficials of the American Smelting &
Refining company, the Buena Tlerra
company and other . mines, were
brought before Villa who was cstau
llshed in the offices of of the
mining companies which had Been
looted and the records and papers
destroyed.
The Americans were taken to a
tramway support where they wcre
forced to witness the hanging of
Cabello. former mayor of Eanta Eu-
lalla. As his body was swinging
from the rope, Villa told the Auier-.
leans be had not then derided wheth
er or not he would hang them. He
told them he would postpone his
decision until later. Villa made a.
speech to the Mexicans who gathered j
to see the execution, told them the
Americans were not paying enough
waxes and ordered them to make a i
demonstration , for higher wagds.
Later he permitted the Americans
to leave tor Chihuahua City , after
he ordered' them to report to their
companies that he would . return
March 11th and, If heavy tributes
were not paid, to his agents by that
time -he would burn the plants and
kill all the Americans.'

WIRTHMOR WAISTS
with a Nation-wide Friendliness
Whenever any article, whatever Us nature might he
attains nation-wide friendliness, it symbolises Just onu
thing, namely, that through Its merit and satisfying
qualities It deserves that friendliness. This Is the enso
with Wlrthmor Waists. In Maine In California way up
In Washington or down In Southern Florida In over two
thousand cities they are being sold by progressive mer
chants and being worn by prudent, thrifty women.
The price. of the Wlrthmor here and everywhere
throughout the United Statos is $1.50. This is the low.
est possible price at which Waists of such high character
can be sold, and their sale at this modest price Is due
solely to gluuntlc collective buying power of the many
hundreds of Wlrthmore Stores and the many great
economics of the Wlrthmor Plan. ,
You will never know Imiw good a Waist f l.no ran buy
until you have wont a Wlrthmor. Every Yalt bearing
