passed ;ui i;;T.-rnuUo:i:tl proverb.
The lateht addition to the rank and file
tA petty ,win'ilt-rs is the lruj.'gUts who
practice the 'Substitution M-herne."
Tlur hwiudli; i a ifnr.viiij,' evil of recent
dutc. Nome: firm or individual by loriff
Mid patient re-M-ar.:h. iiiid -fT.-n l.y the
kxpemliture of enormous hums of
money, (liwove-r ftnd perfects a pro
prictary urticle. After years of scru
tiny and perhaps patient ahiw the
article finds its way into public favor.
It price is perhaps cheapened and its
merits liecorne advertised and known
in every town and city. It is at this
juncture that the retail druggist (fives
to his inyuirinjr customer an article
"just as food" and fjiiietly pockets the
price of it inferiority.
To Hitch an extent has this imposition
frown that general attention was
'ailed to it in an address before the
National Kditorial association at St,
Paul 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 parafllne factory butter,
or stewed minnows in tin cans with a
feardine latM-l on, or wooden nutmeg's,
or perhaps drinks coffee oriffinally
made at the brickyards and sweetened
with sugar whose saccharine qualities
are the combined effort of a sugar
trust and a sand bank, may while re
viewintf 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 his
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 atore. lie w ants Apollinaris wa
ter. He has seen advertised that it will
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
a reputation 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 ana elsewhere there arc
houses whose sole business it is to
manufacture worthless mixtures and
compounds which they sell to retail
druggists under labels Waring some re
semblance to favorite and well known
preparations. These retail venders of
unknown nostrums masquerading un
dcr a well known name generally place
on the preparation: flur own make.
strictly pure,' etc. The interest the
druggist has in selling this stuff is that
he buys it at a much lower price than
the standard preparation. The in
dividual purchaser is easily swayed
at best Add 1 1 this the confidence
he naturally places in his druggi
and it is no wonder that this petty
system of swindling has reached it-
already great proportions. 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 for the express pur
pose of getting the familiar article the
dealer tries every method in his power
to induce him to take something else,
which he knows is of doubtful merit if
not positively injurious.
"For nearly every one of the well
known preparations there arc a dozen
imitations which ilruggtsts announce
are 'precisely the same thing only
cheaper. 1 he success of any proprie
tary article rests ou 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
a poor medical preparation long la
favor, but when 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 tinder
its guise and name a cheap and worth'
less article.
Mr. Kichardson suggested that the
only practical way of ridding the pub
lic 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 cau get what they want
at some other drug store. Chicago Tribune.

ithough its wor.-.t region turns to the
northwest. This portion has leen
inied Mi-siiit" valley. It is a
region lar worse tnan IJeath vaaey
roper. The vallev may be compared
to the irand canyon of the Colorado. It
s rather an immense chasm thAi a val
ley. It is about one hundred and forty
miles long, and at it broadest part is
only eighteen miles wide. In some
parts it is no more than fifteen miles in
width. In this frightful place, baked
and blistered by the intolerable heat,
holding within itself innumerable ele
ments of death, revealing strange as
pects of natural desolation, our party
has been at work for months.
"On either side of the vallev, stretch-
ng almost its entire length, is a range
of mountains absolutely barren of ani
mal and vegetable life. The western
range is the I'anamiut, averaging in
height nine thousand feet. The eastern
range is the Funeral, a suggestive and
not unfit name. The Funeral mountains
rise fully seven thousand feet above the
level of the sea. These mountains are
black, with the exception of curious
patches of red rock. Away to the north
Mount Magruder. Heyond, in the
istance, rise the heights of the Sierras.
Almost at the southern limit of the val
ley is Mount Ivanwatch. llehind it is
the "Devil's I'laygrouud," a region of
absolute barrenness.
"Down in the valley a hot, suffocat-
ng wind blows with terrific velocity.
n its course through the stricken region
gathers a black cloud of hot, shift
ing sand that lias blinded many an un
wary horse and rider. Under the glist
ening beds of crystalized salt in places
are running streams of salt water. Ue-
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 I
have seen self-rising earth it has been
called. As far as the eye can see It ap
pears in curving outline, up and down,
as if 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 nne, as
needles and over a foot long rise in
close array from the ground. They are
as hard as stone and as dangerous as
sharpened steel. Ileneath and hidden
by them are pitfalls, a tumble into
which means a broken leg or arm-
Then, too, are the rich tields of borax.
which have lured many a man to death.
'Dreadful as is Death vallev, its
northwestern arm, Mesquite valley, is
worse. All of the water upon its sur
face is poison. S'he 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
lieen 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 capae
ity and character of their land.
" e have found that in certain zones
certain tlora and fauna tlourish. Each
zone has its peculiar species which will
not flourish in others. These zones are
both horizontal an.l verticil.
"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 ha thirty or forty species of ani
mals and fully as many of vegetable
growth. Nothing, of course, will live
on the salt or borax bottoms, but on
tne edges 01 tnese districts various
hardy plants thrive. In the sand
wastes are gophers, mice, rats bats
and manv other animals and not a few
reptiles.
"Many theories have been advanced
to account for the formation of Death
valley. I think it quite probable that
it was once the sink of the Mojave
river. ' San Francisco Chronicle.
