COCAINE HABITS INCREASE.
Commissioner Heselion Looks 10 New Poison
Law 10 Check Alarming Growth.

In an interview with Commissioner oil
New England Druggist publishes the
following in regard to the working OF
the new poison law and the alarming
growth of the cocaine habit in Maine
within the past few years.
There is another section Of this aci
which I should like to call your atten-
ton to that of selling poison. 1t is
perhaps one of the best portions of the
law, and is doing an immense amount
of good in Maine, and is endorsed by
all the druggists, who have long fel,
the need of such an act. In relation
to this act l would say that every
pharmacist in the State should fee
glad that such an act is on the statute
books. 1t not only protects the drug
gist from all blame, but also is a pro-
lection to the public. If this act had
been enforced few years ago it would
have saved the life of a child, as well
as saved druggist from the suit
which followed.
Another section of the poison
clause reads. but no sale of cocaine
or its salts shall be made except
ing to dentists or on the prescription
of a physician In the past few years
the cocaine habit has been wonder
fully on the increase in this State. The
druggist diSlikeS to sell this drug. OF
any drug of a similar character. but
in some cases he cannot well avoid it,
or couldn't before this act was passed,
Some good customer, often a man of
good reputation and character, for
these are the kind of men the cocaine
habit enslaves as a rule, came in and
demanded cocaine. 1t might not be
known to the druggist that he is CO.
caine fiend, and so he got the drug.
Now this law prohibits the sale of this
drug without the prescription Of a
physician. The result is that the CO.
caine fiends importuned the druggists
for this drug for weeks without effect.
They could not get what they wanted
no physician would give them a pre-
scription for it," Mr.. Heseltine spoke
of several men who had become ad-
dicted to the cocaine habit, but, since
the passage of this act, have been I'M
able to obtain the drug, and have,
after great suffering, got over their
craving for it and are now all right.

One of the chief delights about the
game is that you do not have to have
an actual opponent, for you can play

DOGGY" DOGGY is an imaginary
score for each hole to represent par
play over the course. and as you know
what the DOGGY" score is for each hole
you know whether you are beating the
DOGGY or he is beating you.
There are three kinds of competitions,
match plays" where one player plays
against another by holes. Medal
play where you play by strokes. DO
gey match" where you play against
DOGGY
Then there are team matches or club
matches. where a certain number OF
players from one club play against the
same number from another The best
players from each club are placed at
the top of the list, and number one of
one club plays against number one of
the other: these matches are played by
holes. and the total number of holes
one side wins is compared with the to-
tai of the other side, and the largest
total wins.

According to the story of neigh
Dor. there is one Augusta man who
takes a great deal of care of a small
lawn. This neighbor says the owner of
the lawn has every spear OF grass

it standing straight. 1t is said that on
every occasion where there is to be
anything special in the city, SO the
people will see the grass. the man lets
it grow three days and then with

Gay, of the business manager of a

be an old one but it certainly has not
been told in Augusta before. 1t seems
that one of the young ladies of the
office was about to be vaccinated at the
time of the smallpox scare. The bust
ness manager remarked that he would
bet two dollars that her arm would
swell to twice its usual size in case
she was vaccinated. This bet was
taken. The arm did not swell for the

hour when all good men are supposed

ADMIRAL KAUTZ'S LETTER
To 4 Relative was Funny. but it wa.
Also IndISCrCct,


WASHINGTON. D. c.. April oG.-The
publication OF Admiral Kautzs letter,
referring 70 his position at Samoa, caus-
ed absolute CONSERVATION at the navy
and state departments at first reading,
but there was soon exhibited q DISPOSE
ton to minimize the affair because 1t
was clearly apparent that the letter was
nothing more than strictly private
communication passing between mem-
bers of the same family.
The letter was brought to the atten-
tiOn OF the President and some sort of a
reminder may be sent to the officer to be
more careful In his correspondence. The
spirit OF fun in the letter appealed TO
some OF the diplomatic officials who
laughed heartily over Kautzs descrlp-
ton of the young kings makeup, and
this amusing feature largely Offset any
irritation which might have been felt
over the criticism contained In the let
ter. The Impression prevailed. however,
that the navy department probably
would deal with the !ndlscretion In such
Il way rs It deserved.
The case OF Captain Coghlan may be
considered ms finally closed. The Ger
man ambassador called ut the white
house this afternoon and had confer
ence on the subject with the President
of such Il satisfactory nature that the
matter was regarded as settled. During
the day the navy department adminIs-
tered to Captain Coghlan the rcprimand
which had been decided upon yesterday,
ne stated in these dispatches. This was
In the form of letter from Secretary
Long to the officer. 1t Is stated at the
department that the letter VIII not be
made public before the officer has re.
cclyed It, and probably not then.
