VICTIMS OF A SWINDLE.

It is * finds its ps cheapened a advertised and uncture that the re to his inquiring cust sil druggist mer an pocke price of its inferiority To such an extent has this imposit yrown that neral ulled to it in an address before the ational Editorial association at St aul by A. Frank Richardson, of New York. Mr. Richardson has given this abuse of “substituting” his attention for some time and there is probably no man in this country better qualified to speak | about its extent and injustice. The man who buys paraftine factory butter, or stewed minnows in tin cans with a sardine label on, or wooden nutmegs, or perhaps drinks coffee originally made at the bri ards and sweetened with sugar whose saccharine qualit are the combined effort of a sugar trust and asand bank, may while re- viewing the fact that he is not an ostrich come to the conclusion that he has been victimized and swindled. About the time he is divorced from hi: digestion he realizes that the substi- tutes and “our own make” are perhaps a little cheaper but hardly as fattening. Then the same man will walk into a drug store. He wants Apollinaris wa- ter. He has seen advertised that it will attention was call back the sulking appetite. He gets something with the same label and “just as good.” The druggist makes a few cents by the swindling substitu- tion, and the customer forswears the use of Apollinaris, etc., and keeps it all except the ‘‘etc.” There are hundreds of proprietary articles that have earned areputation through public prints and extended testimonials that have been almost forced from the market by the substitution swindle. “People have no idea how extensive this petty system of thievery has be- come,” said Mr. Richardson. ‘'There are concerns whose preparations have become household words. Millions of dollars are invested in the business of these concerns. Their articles have merit, and those merits have been ad- vertised. This popularity induces the customer to call for the article at the druggist’s. The druggist has some un- known article ‘just as good,’ which, presuming on the confidence the pur- chaser places in him, the druggist palms off on the customer. “The evil, aside from the swindle of the practice to the purchaser, lies in the fact that he is induced to use something which is either worthless or injurious. At Detroit and elsewhere there are houses whose sole business it is to manufacture worthless mixtures and compounds which they sell to retail druggists under labels bearing some re- semblance to favorite and well known preparations. These retail venders of unknown nostrums querading un- der a well known name generally pla onthe preparation: strictly pure,’ ete The interest the druggist has in selling this stuff is that he buys it at a much lower price than the standard ‘Our own make, preparation, The in- dividual purchaser is easily swayed at best. Add to this the confidence he naturally places in his druggist and it is no wonder that this petty system of swindling has reached its already great proporttons. There are preparations in which millions of dol- lars are invested and hundreds of thou- sands spent yearly in calling the atten- tion of the public to their particular use or benefit, and when anyone calls at the dealers’ stores pose of getting the for the express pur- familiar article the dealer tries every method in his power toinduce him to take something else, which he knows is of doubtful merit if not positively injurious “Por nearly every one of the well- known preparations there are a dozen imitations which druggists announce are ‘precisely the same thing—only cheaper.’ The success of any proprie- tary article rests on the same broad basis of known merit as all other suc- cesses. No amount of advertising can bring business to a dishonest merchant and no amount of advertising can keep 2 poor medical preparation long in favor, but wh the preparation has kept on for years fighting its way into favor it is little short of thievery for dealers to make use of its popularity for its own destruction by selling under its guise and name a cheap and worth- less article Mr. Richardson suggested that the only practical way of ridding the pub- lie of this abuse of substituting was to make known its nefarious details so that purchasers might insist on having the article they believe to be the best and refuse to take the article the | swindling dealer wishes to substitute. Customers who will not accept ‘‘some- thing just as good” from a druggist know that they can get what they want at some other drug store. —Chicago Tri- bune. | IN DEATH VALLEY Weird Scenes in the ¥ Chasm. Dr. C. Hart Merriam, scientist and chief of a government biological survey which has been working for months in Death vall is in the e told the story of his adventures to a Chroni reporter recently. “The valley and its towering black walls of barren roc weird and strangely t desolation.

Under the glist- ening beds of erystalized salt in places are running streams of salt water. Be- neath there is still another bed of salt. “In other parts of the valley are wastes of hot sand drawn in some places into high mounds by the whirl- | ing blasts that sweep down the canyon There, too, is the most curious earth 1 have seen—self-rising earth it has been ealled. As far as the eye can see it ap- pears in curving outline, up and down, asif puffed by a natural yeast. The unfortunate animal that steps upon the little hills will crash through, for they are not much more than fragile crusts. “Still stranger is that section of the valley which for want of a better name is called salt earth. Innumerable pin- nacles tapering to points as fine as needles and over a foot long rise in close array from the ground. They are as hard as stone ond as dangerous as sharpened steel. Beneath and hidden by them are pitfalls, a tumble into which means a broken leg or arm Then, too, ure the rich tields of borax, which have lured many a man todeath “Dreadful as is Death valley, its northwestern arm, Mesquite valley, is worse. All ofthe water upon its sur- face is poison. Ghe wind has thrown the sand into immense mounds, one of which is three miles long and three hundred feet high. It was in this val- ley that the immigrants lost their lives. Water may be obtained only by dig- ging deep wells, and then it is none too pure. “Our party, the biological survey of the United States government, has been in the valley for months. It left there after having finished its investi- gation. The general purpose of the department of agriculture, under which we work, is to collect facts relating to the distribution of species with varia- tions of temperature and humidity throughout the United States, and par- ticularly in the western part. The re- sults obtained will be of the utmost value to agriculture, for they will save | millions of dollars spent in experiment by farmers who wish to test the capac- ity and character of their land. “We have found that in certain zones certain flora and fauna tlourish. Each zone has its peculiar species which will not flourish in others. These zones are both horizontal and vertical. ‘The party chose the desolate region of Death valley for its labors, for from it, and not far distant, can be traced the seven zones we have established. The valley, notwithstanding its barren elements, has many phases of life. “It has thirty or fo: species of ani- mals and fully as many of vegetable growth n limit of the Behind it is | 1 region of Ivanwat fie Mo. | |ferSaleky & ft. | hot, suffoeat- locity *k ele | Dealer in Drugs and Medicines Prescriptions Carefully Compound- ed.
