THE CELLOPHANE AGE
' : : ; i v, t-x v- ,i!
THIS is the iron ana, the advertising ae, tlie age of siiperr
. power and concrete, but the product or invention that has
wrought the greatest revolution in Imsiness within the current
business cycle is a transparent, dust- and moist lire-proof sub
stance known as cellophane. 1$ . pnly spruce jiitlp sxjiieezed
through a narrow sjit, solidified into. sheets and treated chem
ically, but it has performed miracles in business and distri
bution. ' , , ' ' ' ' .
France disaoered it more than 15 years ago and tfyen wait
ed for the geniug of American 'business to improve upon it and
develop U to the poiiit where distribution methods were revo
lutionize. To the French it might have seemed a trifle. To the
American imagination it loomed large. . . .
Cellophane is preserving .meat cut by the, .packer insteail of
by tie butcher, it is being woven into hats, protecting growing
fruit and packing the ripe product for market, producing arti
ficial grass, ribbons and gimcrncks for Christmas trees, preserv
ing fXsJi for remote iiilniit) markets, making dirigibles gas proof,
aiding in the casting of false teeth, insulating electric circuits
and wrapping everything from candy to shirts.
This suddeu universal, adoption of such a product as cello
phane is convincing proof of, the progrcssiveness of American,
industry. It was not rejected .because business had got along
without it for several centuries,. Instead it was awake to the pos
sibilities and took advantage of them. There lies the secret of
tie supremacy of lie Ifjiited Ktiites in industry and commerce.

YOU CAN'T KEEP A
Suppose your baby should creep In
where you keep your polaona some
day when you're busy In the con
sulting room, and
reach up and knock
a vtal- of corrosive
AUbllmafe ( blcnuo
rlde' of mercury)
tablets off the bot
tom shelf, breaking
the vial, and eat
some of the pretty
blue stained "can
dles." Ho-hum. Just
then, by a lucky
chalice, you enter
the dispensary and
r;nd the baby with
her lips and mouth all stained blue
and the poison tablets all over the
floor. What are you going to do In
such an emergency run around In
little circles "Wiring ing your hands, or
give the baby an emetic
That1 happened to our baby.1' We
gave her the only emetic I know
which Is reasonably prompt In effect;
This emetic we gave our baby is
branded a "poison" by a good many
second rate druggists when people ask
for it. But It is nevertheless the only
quick, sure emetic I know of for Just
such emergencies, and I should ad
vise every one to keep It In the house
hold medicine kit. The emetic Is cop
per sulphate, otherwise known as blue
Vitriol or blue stone. I suppose : it
would be somewhat' poisonous If you
took enough. But not In the quan
tity' sufficient to produce vomiting.
For this purpose one or two grains of
copper sulphate Is enough, and it is
best given dissolved in a spoonful or
two of water. ' '
When you give a dose ol copper
sulphate as an emetic, let me tell you
it Is wise to be all set for the rebound
for ad I say, this U a very good emctJ
Ic." Indeed, and it won't stay down
'long. Some times It seems to me the
do:e scarcely gets all the way down
before ybu receive a complete inven
tory of the patient's latit meal, ' '
For" the- uocxec emergency' kit

the flivver) cbppsr sulphate may" be
carried in convenient one-grain tab
lets'." tf. your" druggist Is a" cantanJ
kerous. unaccommodating sort, you'll
have to carry a small -corked vial con
taining one or two grains of copper
sulphate, dissolved In one or 1 two
spoonfuls of water, all1 ready to shodt!
Of course, we never know how1
much" of the fatal mercury the baby
actually swallowed, if any. But froni
the evidence on her Hps and tongue
it looked alarming-. ' After the 'cop
per sulphate -had done its work, she
resumed' play and there was no fur
ther fuss about It except that I
came to and decided a doctor could
worry along tn practice without keep-1
lng or using corrosive sublimate at)
all.
The old household emetic Is Ipecac

Weill tl Keep IIKtorlr Name
To the Editor:
Yesterday's Mail Tribune .trll$ tin
that the codnty court bnteeii called
upon to give the "Old Military rood '
an official name.
While many name hav been stig
eested. we feel that the historic name
should be retained. To we descend
ants of the pioneers the original
seem almost sacred.
The "Old Military roaj" is the sec
ond oldest road into the Roue Klver
valley. The flrt rosd was built Into
and thrvmnh this valley in imn. The
Hogue Klver vall,.y was at that time
an unexplored wtldornesa. lnh stilted
by tribes of warlike Indians. The 15
men f ho blamed the trail through the
valley were pioneers from the Wil
lamette valley. Thts roud wa$ c;ll-d
the "01:1 Imm'riint road" or '"Old
South road."'
Fort Lane was built hv order or
the government in ltf)3-fi4 and the
"Old MllHaiy road" wm then built
to briiu men ami supplier by a foit

Tobacco and Diabetes 1
A physician recently reported to
you that no diabetes patient he has
ever treated used tobacco. He reas
oned from that observation that the
moderate use : of tobacco might be
advisable for diabetes patients, i He
should tell it to (a brand of cigar
ettes) . Probably the doctor has never
had a diabetes patient with one arrrt.
Then why not lop off an arm when
a -two-armed" case of ' diabetes turrts
up? (Don tt. Duffie. M. D.) 4
Answer. Well, how that you put it
in that way, I do feel almost foolish.'
And yet; ; Doctor, somehow I think
there may be a grain of wisdom In
the- observation. Anyway,, let's watt'

drier than the Carolinas and the Car-1

the difference of clmate will scarcely

WIDE AWAKE AT ItEDTl.tlti,
Hy Alice .liidsou I Vale.. ,.
"I -'know 'that' Bobby should hnW
been JiV bed. long ago." said mother,
explaining the fact that her four-year-old
son was still enjoying the
sociabilities, of the family living
room, although tt was post o:uu
o'clock.
"But if I put him to bed at
soven as he should be. he lies
wide awake, staring into the dark.
o i nave decided he might Just
as well stuv uu and enlov hlmseli."
Inquiry revealed that this little
noy was permitted to sle,ep until
o'clock in the morning. As a re
sult of his late rising he wfis not
ready for his nap until three in
the afternoon when he would go
to sleep for two hours or more.
With such a routine It was1 no
wonder that he was not sleepy at
a reasonable hour at night. It may
be argued that he was getting all
the sleep he needed, and that if it
wos not inconvenient for his par
ents to have him stay up at night
there was no reason why he should
go to bed early.
The family living room after din
ner Is no place for a small child.
The conversation, music and laugh
ter which form the relaxation or the
adult are too stimulating for him.
Indeed. It would be remarkable that
he could go to sleep promptly even
after n half hour of such excite
ment. In restraining the child who has
developed the' habit of wakefulness
nt bedtime. It will be necessary to
be patient and persistent, wmie
probably for several nights In suc
cession he lies awake after being
put to bed at the proper hour.
With the firm, consistent tare,
is not ' dfrficult to re-establish n
wholesome rhythm of napping ana
keeping nt reasonable hours'

"Yes. What time was that?"
"A little after seven ' o'clock.-
Bruce was going to take the train
to Camden at 7:40, and as I had to
go back to work on the books, we
walked as far as the bank together.
Then Bruce said 'Good-by' and wont
on down the street I went into the
bank and"
"Just a minute. Did you go In
through the front door, or by the
slclo door?" ...
"Ph. the side door. We always
use that door after banking hours."
"Do you carry a key With you all

Mr. Dayton added: "All the em
ployees have keys to that door."
"And who has the combination of

"Were the doors to the two ofllcea
off that ball open or closed?" ,
"I couldn't say."

"Bring your cane with you?" t
"Oh.' of course, I always have my

. VNow, Martin, did any one come
Into the bank while you were there
this evening?"'; . ' - '
"Positively no, sir,"
"Wasn't the cashier In bis office

when he telephoned Fuller at Cam

office at 9:30. Ho had been dead
an hour af least."'' '
"Bruce's train left at.7: 40, so you
must have arrived at the bank close
to 7:20, and you arrived home aboil)
nine.' Campbell was killed while
you were In the bank. He was hit
on the head, with sope blunt in
strument. The $25,000 was in the
safe when you and Mr. Wilson left
the bank this afternoon. When we
were there this evonlng, Mr. Wilson
opened the safe and the money was
gone. Martin, where Is that Ma
sonic watch charm the lodge gave
you?"
The bookkeeper clutched .his
watch guard In sudden fright , "It's
gone!" ho cried and looked plfeous
ly around as If stunned. "I wouldn't
take a fortune for that sacred em
