j DOCTORS DO TASTE DRUGS.
Physician Corrects an Impression
"Which ls Widespread,
f "Do doctors know how their own
medicine tastes?" was a question put
to a"group of physicians.
.;; "To be sure," said one, "but we
haye hard work to convince our pa
tients that we do. If you only knew
how this, beastly stuff tastes, doctor,
you wouldn't ask me to take it'-that
iis what they say. And they are
.hard-headed people, too, who say that
-people who are by no means raving
in delirium. It's hard ever to con
vince them that a doctor has a tast
ing acquaintance with, his medicine.
" 'How did you find out about it?'
ls one of their trump questions. 'You
have never been laid up with all the
diseases in the dictionary. How did
you learn what the different remedies
t?ste like?' It never occurs to ^the
average patient that tasting drugs is
a part of the medical student's educa
tion, and that no man is qualified
to practice until he has learned the
flavor of the medicines he expects to
pr?scribe." *

NATIONALPLATFOR?H
Principies and Policies of Democrats
issued By the Convention
CURRENCY. TRUSTS AND TARIFF
Sub-Committee, by a Vote of 7 to 3,
Votes in the Gold Plank-Yet to be
Fought Through the Full Commit
tee-Declared That the Increased
Production of Gold Has Removed
the Issue.
Following is the full text of the
Democratic platform as adopted by
the National Convention at St. Louis.
THE PLATFORM.
"We, the delegates to the Democratic
party of the United States, in national
convention assembled, declare our de
votion to the essential principles of
the Democratic faith which bring us
together in hearty communion.
"Under them local self-government
and national unity and prosperity were
alike established. They underlaid our
Independence, the structure of our free
republic and every Democratic exten
sion from Louisiana to California and
faithfully in all the States the tie be
tween taxation and representation.
They yet inspirit the masses of our
people, guarding jealously their rights
and liberties, and cherishing their fra
ternity, peace and orderly develop
ment. They remind us of our duties
and responsibilities as citizens, and
impress upon us, particularly at this
time, the necessity of reform and the
rescue of the administration of gov
ernment from the headstrong, arbi
trary and spasmodic methods which
distract business by uncertainty and
pervade tho public mind with dread,
distrust and perturbation.
"The application of these fundamen
tal principles to the living issues of
the day constitutes the first step to
ward the assured peace, safety and
progress of our nation. Freedom of
the press, of conscience and of speech,
equality before the lav/ of all citizens,
the right of trial by jury, freedom of
the person defended by the writ of
heabeas corpus, the supremacy of civil
over military authority; a well dis
ciplined' militia; the separation of
Church and State; economy In expen
ditures; low taxes, that labor may bo
lightly burdened; the prompt and
sacred fulfillment of public and pri
vate obligations, including fidelity to
treaties; peace and friendship with all
nations, entangling alliances with
none; absolute acquiescence in the will
of the majority, the vital principle of
republics-these are doctrines which
Democracy has established as proverbs
of the nation, and they should bo con
stantly invoked, preached, resorted to
and enforced.
"1. Large reductions can readily be
made in the annual expenditures of the
government without impairing the ef
ficiency of any branch of the public
service, and wc shall insist upon thc
strictest economy and frugality com
patible with the various and efficient
civil, military and naval administration
as a right of tho people too clear to be
denied or withheld.
INVESTIGATIONS PROMISED.
"2. The enforcement of honesty in
the public service and to that end a
^icrough legislative investigation of
: BfcMBsaBve departments of the
into contracrefljHt jp
or unlawful combiS^B
of inter-state trade, exisun5^??^H|
tion of lav. We believe that one ol
the best methods of procuring economy
and honesty in the public service is to
have public officials, from the occupant
of the White House down to the low
est of them, return, as nearly as may
be, to Jeffersonian simplicity of liv
ing.
"3. We favor the nomination and
election of a President trained In the
ways of the constitution, who shall
set his face sternly agaiust executive
usurpation of legislativo and judicial
functions, whether that usurpation be
ruled under the guise of executive
construction of existing laws, or
whether it take refuge in thc tyrant's
pleas of necessity or superior wisdom.
TARIFF PERVERSIONS.
"4. The Democratic party has been,
and will continue to be, the consistent
opponent of that class of tariff legis
lation by which certain interests have
been permitted, through congressional
favor, to draw a heavy tribute from
the American people. Tho monstrous
perversion of those equal opportunities
which our political Institutions were
established to secure, has caused what
may once have been infant industries
to become the greatest combinations
of capital that the world has ever
known.
"These publicly favored enterprises
have, through trust methods, been
converted into monopolies, thus bring
ing to an end domestic competition,
which was the only check upon the
extravagant profits made possible hy
the protective system. These indus
trial combinations, by the financial as
sistance they can give, now control the
policy of the Republican party.
"We favor a wise, conservative and
business-like revision and a gradual
reduction of the tariff by thc friends
of the masses and for the common
weal, and not by the friends of its
abuses, its extortions and its discrim
inations, keeping in view the ultimate
end of "equality.of burdens and equal
ity of opportunities, and the constitu
tional purpose of raising a rovenue by
taxation; to wit, the support of the
Federal government ia all its Integrity
and virility, hut In simplicity; and
keeping also In ?viev.-. as men of com
mon sense should, existing conditions,
however wrongfully, mistakenly or un
justly brought about, and the danger
to the cause of tariff reform itself of
abrupt and revolutionary reversal of
policy.
"We should bear in mind, in short,
these two thinge:
"First, The,general principle that the
sole derivation of the power of taxa
tion is the support of the Federal gov
ernment economically, effectively and
constitutionally administered, and, sec
ond, the equal truth that in the asser
tion of any general principle and in
reaching any ultimate end. however
sacred and logically unavoidable, due
rsgard, but only due regard must and
should be paid to actually existing con
ditions.
TARIFF ON TRUST PRODUCTS.
"5. We favor the reduction of tariff
taxation upon trust-produced articles
to the point where foreign competition
may enter the American marked when
ever trusts and combines, seeking mo
nopoly, raise their prices to the Ameri
can consumer above a resonable and
just prc.lt, by such reduction depriving
trusts and monopolies of the power to
extort from the American people un
iter shelter of American law, prices
higher than those charged foreigners
for Identical articles,
ISTHMIAN CANAL FAVORED.
"The Isthmian Canal: Our party
having long and earnestly advocated
the construction of an Inter-oceanic
canal for the purposes of national de
fense and commerce between the States
and with foreign nations, we favor the
early completion of the Isthmial Canal,
But while making this declaration and
accepting the results of an accom
plished and irreversible fact, we cannot
too forcibly express our disapproval of
the methods by which, In disregard of
the usages and obligations of interna
tional law end treaty obligations ca
nal route has been required, or too sol
emnly record our hope that this pre
cedent of defiant diplomacy may never
be used against us to our humiliation
and injury.
TRUSTS DENOUNCED. '
"Trusts and Unlawful Combinations:
We recognize that the gigantic trusts
and combinations designed to enable
capital to secure more than its just
share of the joint product of capital
and labor and which have been fostered
and promoted under Republican rule,
are a menace to beneficial competition
and an obstacle to permanent business
prosperity. We demand .the vigorous
and impartial enforcement of the laws
already made to prevent and control
such trusts and combinations and we
favor such further legislation in re
straint thereof as experience shows to
be necessary.
"Corporations chartered by authority
ot the people must forever remain sub
ject to regulation in thc interest of the
people. A private monopoly is indefen
sible. We recognize the right of capital
in all legitimate lines of enterprise to
combine for the increase of business
for enlarging productive capacity and
for decreasing the cost of production;
but when such combination in its pur
pose or effect, creates, or tends to cre
ate a monopoly in its productions, to
restrain trade or to stifle competition;
to increase cost to the consumer or to
control thc market, it violates the
spirit of the laws, because inimical to
public welfare and peace and should be
so regulated, controlled or prohibited
by lav,' as to amply protect the public
interests.
"We demand that the restraint of
such illegal combinations be entrusted
tn the Democratic party which is not
responsible for their existence, and
which has ever protested against their
continuance.
TRUSTS CONDEMNED.
"We condemn the Republican system
of legislation under which trusts mo
nopolies are enabled to exact higher
prices for their manufactured products
from our own people than they sell
them for abroad.
"We demand an enlargement of the
powers of the Inter-State commerce
commission to the end that the travel
ing public and shippers of this country
may have prompt and adequate relief
for tte abuses they are subjected to in
the matter of transportation.
"Monroe Doctrine: We favor the
maintenance of the Monroe doctrine in
its full integrity.
"Reciprocity: We favor a liberal
trade treaty with Canada.
"Army and Navy: We favor the re
duction of tho army and of army ex
penditure to the point historically
demonstrated to be safe and sufficient.
We favor the maintenance and liberal
annual increase of the navy as our best
defense in our isolated continental con
ditions against foreign foe and -a
source of no possible danger to our lib
erties as a people.
"We favor the enactment and ad
ministration of laws, giving labor and
capital impartially their just rights.
Capital and labor ought not to be ene
mies. Each is necessary to the other,
las its ri
:ncan pass
f??Ton the ground
of race or creed, we favor the begin
ning of negotiations with the govern
ments of such countries to secure by
new treaties the removal of these un
icst discriminations.
"Pensions: The Democracy would
secure to the surviving soldiers and
sailors and dependants generous pen
sions, not by an arbitrary executive
order, but by legislation which grate
ful people stand ready to enact. Our
soldiers and "sailors who defend with
their lives and constitution and the
iaws have a .sacred interest in their
just administration. They must, there
fore, share with us the humiliation
with which, we have witnessed the ex
altation of court favorites, without dis
tinguished service, over the scarred he
roes of many battle, or aggrandized by
executive appropriations out of the
treasuries of a prostrate people, in vio
lation of the act of Congress which
fixes the compensation and allowances
of the military officers.
SHIP SUBSIDY BILL DENOUNCED.
"Merchant Marine: We denounce the
ship subsidy bill recently passed by the
United States Senate as an iniquitous
appropriation of public funds for pri
vate purposes and a wasteful, illogical
and useless attempt to overcome by
subsidy' the obstructions nised by Re
publican legislation to the growth and
development of American commerce on
the sea. We favor the upbuilding of a
merchant marine without new or addi
tional burdens upon the people and
without bounties from the ? public
treasury.
"Civil Service: The Democratic
party stands committed to the prin
ciples of civil service reform, and we
demand their honest, just and impar
tial enforcement. We denounce the
Republican party for its continuous
and sinister encroachments upon the
spirit and operation of civil service
rules, whereby it has arbitrarily dis
ptnsed with examinations for office in
the interests of favorites and, employed
all manner of devices to over-reach and
set aside +he principles upon which the
civ;' . rvica was established.
"Condemnation of Polygamy: We de
mand the extermination of polygamy
within the jurisdiction of the United
States, and the complete separation of
church and State in political affairs.
"Reclamation of Arid Lands and Do
mestic Development: We congratulate
our Western citizens upon the passage
of the measure known as the New
laud's irrigation act for the irrigation
and reclamation of the arid lands of the
West-a measure framed by a Demo
crat, passed in the Senate by a non
partisan vote and passed in the House
against the opposition of almost, iii
the Republican leaders by a vote, the
majority of which was Democratic. We
call attention to this great Democratic
measure, broad and comprehensive as it
is working automatically throughout
all time without further action of Con
gress until the reclamation of- all the
lands in the arid West capable of re
clamation is accomplished, reserving
the lands reclaimed for home-seekers
in small tracts and rigidly guarding
against land monopoly as an evidence
o? the policy of domestic development
contemplated by the Democratic party,
should it be placed in power."

THE DANGARS IN DUST.
Plea for Less Relentless Activity in
the Household.
Whether the bacilli that causes tu
berculosis in the human being are the
same as those which cause it in other
warm-blooded animals, and even fish,
or whether they merely change their
appearance with their environment, is
a question for the bacteriological ex
pert. That we may become infected
from other animals has not the vital
interest lhat the undoubted fact has
that we can, and do, become infected
by the germs that other men carry
about, and that the home, the place
where we take refuge from the ills of
life, is precisely where this dread dis
ease attacks us. Inside the lour walls
of our houses is where these deadly
germs are implanted, are nurtured,
and bring forth their harvest. It is
at home we must begin to defend our
selves. It is the part, of wisdom to 1
do away with the dust-catching drape
ries and carpets. Have the rugs shak
en and heated out of doors. If you
must have carpets, sweep them with ?
wet tea leaves sprinkled on them. ?
Wipe the furniture with a moist cloth, ;
not flirt the dust around with a bunch .
of feathers on a slick. Dust is dan
gerous. Remember that. Belter to ,
have some critic write "Sloven" in
the dust upon the mantelpiece than
cloud the air with it and poison your
whole family.-Everybody's -Magazine.

SOUTH CAROLINA CROPS
Good Rains and Warmer Weather Pre?
vailed.
The week ending 8 a. m. July 4,
had a mean temperature of eighty de
grees, which is practically normal.
The extremes were a minimum ot oi)
at Greenville on the first, and a maxi
mum of 97 at Blackville, Spartanburg,
and Yemasee on the 28th, 29th and
30th, respectively.
The sunshine was normal, or slight
ly below; the relative humidity about
normal, and the winds light to fresh
and variable as to direction.
Showers occurred over the entire
State; they were heavy in thc north
ern counties and at places along the
coast, and they were fai. y heavy to
light in all other sections; drought
continues in parts of Colleton, Green
wood, Kershaw and Bamberg counties
and over very limited areas in a few
other counties, but generally the rain
fall was sufficient for the needs of all
crops, and in places the drought was
thoroughly relieved. The rainfall was
heaviest in Chesterfield and Marlboro
counties, where the amounts ranged
from three to nearly five inches.
Damaging hail occurred in a few small
widely separated localities.
The general condition of all crops
ls better than last week, and the
rains Interfered but little with farm
work except in the two counties
named above, and in parts of adjacent
counties. Field crops continue clean
and well cultivated.
In the droughty, sections corn is
"firing!-' and turning yellow and is
tasseling low, but the crop as a whole
has improved; early corn is in the
silk and tassel stage and has been laid
by in good condition. Corn planted
on stubble lands has good stands.
Cotton is growing rapidly and fruit
ing heavily, with some blooms noted
pver the entire State; on sandy lands
the crop is fine and is as far advanced
as usual, but it is small and about
two. weeks late on clay and red lands.
Sea Island cotton is doing well re
cently.
Tobacco curing has become general.
In places the crop was damaged by
hail; new and undesirable growth
has started in places after the recent
rains. The early rice crop has deteri
orated slightly owing to thc scarcity
of fresh water for harvest flooding,
but the crop is still fairly promising.
Peas sown on stubble lands and plant
ed with corn have good stands. Sweet
potato slips have been set ouc exten
sively and are doing well. Pastures
and gardens improved where the rain
fall was sufficient, but are scant-and
poor in the dry sections. Peach ship
ments continue heavy, but peaches are
scarce in many localities; berries are
plentiful. Melons are being market

^?Q^m^TruE DAY.
Scotch Farmer cf Experience Recog
nized the Symptoms.
^ John D. Rockefeller Jr., was talking
to his Sunday school class about In
dustry.
"Our industry," he said, with a faint
smile, "should not be of such a nature
that the remark once applied to a cer
tain Scot could ever be applied to us.
"I'll tell you what the remark I
allude to was.
"Two old farmers were walking
down a road near Dunfermline when
ono of them pointed to a distant field
and said, shading his eyes from the
sun :
" 'That figure over there-I wonder
if it's a scarecrow.'
"He stopped and regarded the fig
ure very attentively for a space. Then
he concluded, in a satisfied tone:
" 'Yes, it's not moving. It must be
a scarecrow.'
"But tho other farmer had sharper j
eyes and a better understanding, may- j
be, of certain types of human nature. ?
"'No,' he said, dryly; 'no, it's not I
a scarecrow. It's a man working by !
the day.'

Every child born into the
world with an inherited or
early developed tendency to
torturing, disfiguring -humofs

an object of the most tender

its suffering, but because of the
dreadful fear that the disfigu
