"Mrs. Bowser," begun Mr. fiowaer
tha other enlng; ai he looked up from
bit paper, "da yoa know bow many
lire are sacrificed every year In Amer
ica to carelessness T"
"What sort of careleMneas do you
meanT" she queried.
"Principally that of not baring prop
er medical remedies In the house to
administer In time.' For Instance, I am
tucked with bllloua colic after'eatlne
"one of your mince plea. I begin to knot

but there la none in the bouse. You

the line la crossed. You ask the cook to

go yourself, but you slip on the steps
and twist your ankle. Bafore anything
can be done for me my spirit baa pass
ed away and you are a widow. I mean
that aort of carelessness." , , .
"Yea, every family should keep a few
simple remedies in the house. I think
you will find that we have most every
thing needed in an emercencT."
"We "may have them, Mrs. Bowser,
but where are theyT upstairs, down

particular thing."
"Walir
' "Well, I propose to gather up all the
bottles and powders and put them to
gether in a medicine box, and after this
date I want then kept there."
Labeled the Bottles.
! He got down the bottle of paste, cut
aorae paper for labels and then went
bunting about for various bottles. He
found score of them. They were
mostly remedies he bad brought borne.
jFrom some be bad taken two or three
doses, and some of the bottles were
half empty. There were old packages
of epsom and rochelle salts and of
bicarbonate of soda, and he was two
hours labeling and arranging them. He
bad Just a little more to do when Mrs.
Bowser went up to bed. A search on
the top shelf of the pantry brought to
light an eight ounce bottle called "The
Ten Second Cold Cure." Only a dose or
two had been taken from it Mr. Bow
ser remembered buying It of a fakir
on a street corner and of taking two or
three doses and then recommending It
to the cook. Whether It cured his cold
in ten seconds or ten days be could net
recollect The label on the bottle and
the contents thereof looked inviting,
and after giving things a shake be
mused:
"I've got all the symptoms of a cold
now, and I might as well take a dose
and knock them out That's what I
iwaa telling Mrs. Bowser. A remedy
right at hand Is worth two visits from
the doctor next day."
' He put the bottle away with the oth
ers In the chest and went upstairs with
the assurance that he was now able
to cope with any midnight emergencj
short of a conflagration. Mrs. Bowser
scented paregoric In his breath, and be
explained that be had found and taken
a dose of the wonderful cough cure.
He had been Asleep for an hour and
more when she. nudged him awake and
said:
"I haven't been able to go to sleep
yet for thinking of that bottle you took
the dose from. Are you sure It was
cough medicine?"
"Certainly it was. How could I
make any mistake about itr
1 "Easily enough. You know you are
a very absentminded man. Don't you
remember that you once took a dose
of sewing machine oil by mistake for
iyour tonic? You may have made a
imtstake this time."
I 1 never took sewing machine oil,
.and I have never made a mistake on a
jbottle," growled Mr. Bowser. "The
idea of waking me np at midnight to
tell me that I can't read the label on
a bottlel"
! "All right If you are sure, then I
can go to sleep. I was Just a bit
afraid that you had poisoned your
self." Did Not Taste Right
' Mr. Bowser put his head on the pil
low again and sought to woo sleep, but
after Ave minutes had passed be sud
denly bounded out of bed and begaa
to dress.
"What Is ltr asked Mrs. Boweer.
"I've got to go down and see about
that infernal old bottle, I know It
isn't possible that I got hold of the
wrong stuff, but you've had to butt In
and make me wonder about It I can
almost imagine that I feel a strange
-taste in my month."
He growled all the way downstairs.
The chest was on a stand where he
had left it and as be lighted the gas
the cat rolled off the lounge and looked
at him In surprise. ' He opened the
chest to put bis band on the bottle, and
next Instant Mrs. Bowser heard a wild
yelL On the bottle was a death's head
label with the printed word "Poison"
and the written word "Laudanum" to-

"Do yon you think I'm a dead

front door while Mrs. Bowser came
flying downstairs.
Ran to the Drug (tor.
"Don't stop to ask a single ques
tion, but fly for your life! If you get
a remedy down at once, you may be

Mr. Bowser had to go out Into the
winter's night half dressed, but he got
ft hump on him. A policeman called
to him from across the street and two
or three pedestrians tried to stop him.
but he brought up at the family drug
store and almost pulled the night bell
out by the roots at the first yank. Aft
er he had rung about five times and
administered the same number of
kicks on the door the sleepy clerk ad
mitted him with the exclamation:
"What In thunder do you mean by
trying to kick my door In?"
"I I've taken poison r gasped Mr.
Bowser as be staggered In and aat
down.
"Oh, yon nave? Couldn't rout a hard
working drug clerk out of bed at mid'
night any other way, and so you took
poison. What waa It?"
"Laudanum. I took It for cough
sirup. Don't delay, or I'm a dead
man."
"Don't expect me to rush my legs
off," growled the clerk. "I'm not re
sponsible for your mistake. That's the
way with half the men. They will
grab up a bottle and guule away and
never pay attention to the label. I'll
give you the usual remedy for lauda
aum poisoning. You may possibly get
over it and learn caution In the fu
ture. Now take this and then walk
up and down the sidewalk at a brisk
pace. If you stop for a minute, you
are a goner,"
. Walked For Half an Hour.
Mr. Bowser walked up and down for
ft block each way. Pedestrians asked
him why be walked, and motormeu
wanted to know If he was enjoying
himself. Now and then a hoodlum hit
him In the bead with a snowball, and
now and then a tramp walked at bis
elbow and besought him to open bis
beating heart He had been walking
for half an hour, and the drug clerk
was still yelling at him occasionally
from the door, when a boy came run
ning and gasped out:
Mrs. Bowser wants you right away!
Hi has found that you wasn't poi
soned." "W-whatr . ..
"You dldnt take no laudanum."
Mr. Bowser sprang Into the air. He
whooped. He made a dive for the
drug clerk and chased him Inside. He
made a rush for a coal man who had
been enjoying the situation and upset
bun In ft snowdrift Then be struck a
wild gallop for home, and as he burst
Into the house Mrs. Bowser met htm
and held up the bottle of cough cure.
"Yen left It down In the kitchen aft
er taking a swallow, and I found It a
few minutes ago," ahe explained.
"And I didn't take laudanum?"
"No."
"And there's no danger of my dy
ing?"
"Not this trip."
Mr. Bowser seemed about to take
her la his arms and give way to a nat
ural feeling, but he stopped abort,
started back and dramatically pointed
and exclaimed:

Dangerous Odors,
Borne smells are dangerous. A sin
gle sniff of highly concentrated pros
sic acid will kill a man as quickly as
a shot through the heart Tbe odor
of a bad egg is due to tbe presence of
sulphureled hydrogen, and the ob
jectionable perfumes of sewers and
bono factories are attributable chiefly
to tbe same gas. Chemical laborato
ries are fumous for bad smells. Ber
sellus, wbo discovered the element
culled "selenium," once tried the ex
periment of permitting a bubble of
pure hydrogen sclenlde gas to enter
his nostril. For days afterward he
was not able to smell strong ammonia,
the olfactory nerves being temporarily
paralyzed. Selenium gas has the odor
of putrid horseradish. Tellurium is
even worse. There is a story of a phy
sician whose patient a lady, refused
to take an absolutely necessary rest
because she was so fond of being al
ways In society. He gave her a pill
containing a small quantity of tellu
rium, nnd her breath was affected by
It to such an extent that she was not
able to appear In public for a month.
Bhe never guessed what the trouble
was. Tbe volatilized essentia oil of
roses la supposed to cause "rose
cold." This peculiar complaint is so
far nervous in its character that pa
per roses sometimes excite it.

A Sew Back for aa old One How It
Can be Done in Hood River.
The back aches at times with a dull
indescrible feeling, making you very
restless; piercing pains shoot across the
region of the kidneys, and again the
loins are so lame to stoop is agony. No
use to rub or apply a plaster to tbe back
in this condition. You cannot reach the
cause. Exchange the bad back for a
new and stronger one.
Mrs. August Warnir, of 423 Baker
street, Albany, Ore., says: "For three
or four years I was bothered with kid
ney trouble. The action waa irregular
anil caused a lot of annoyance. There
wai always a dull aching in the small
of the back and loins which lamed me
so that when I bent over it wa a se
vere effort to gvt elect I wna induced
to try D ian's Kidney Pills and procured
a box at a drug -tore. From the be
ginning of their ne there was apparent
relief, and eince u-ing Doui's Kidney
