DR.. Mcbride, speaking Of the morphine
habit, recommends that the patient be
kept in bed or in recumbent position
during the reduction of the dose. The
greater part of the accustomed dose may
be left off at once without great dis
comforts because the system does not use
all of the dose and therefore does not
miss it. The patient, however, should re-
cover from the effects of the first reduc-
ton before another is made and it is
best to reduce the final doses very little
at time If, at the last, great suffer-
ing and depression is caused the dose
may be resumed for a short time until
the patient RECEIVERS from the shock.
Frequent hot baths and massage will re-
lieve the sensation of uneasiness and pain
in the limbs during treatment. The
bromides are the best to quiet the nerves
but should not be- given in large guam
titles. Quinine nux vomica and strych-
nine are the best tOnics. The leaving off
Of the drug is the least part of the treat
meht Moral suasion must be exercised
to restore the moral, mental and ply
steal equilibrium and above all the pa
tient must be urged to exercise self-coa-
troll.

Much attention has recently been call
ed to sodium dioXide by the discovery
that much of the drug on the market con-
tains arsenic as an impurity. AS the use
of this drug Is to sustain life in certain
cases such impurities are dangerous. So
dunn dioXide has the. peculiar property of
renewing the oxygen in the air that has
has been breathed and also absorbs
carbonic acid gas that is given off in the
breath. By charging cylinders with this
drug divers carrying the apparatus re-
CURED can remain under water without
the use of air tubes. Firemen can enter
buildings filled with smoke and miners
traverse mines filled with noXious gases
in safety. Furthermore, it is of value in
submarine boats and in tunnneling oper-
atoms 1t is also suggested that sodium
dioXide may be of great value In the
sick room, both in rendering the contain
ed air pure and wholesome and furnish
Ing a superoXygenated air to those suf-
fering from lung diseases, and conse-
quent1y afflicted with oxygen starvation
During the last few years there has
been scarcity of quinine, and the price
has run as high as S. an ounce. During
the late war the government paid this
price, and it was one of the costliest es-
sentials for carrying on war. This ex-
cessiVe price was due in part to the i'm
mense cost of transporting the bark
across the mountains from the interior Of
Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, where it was
almost exclusively grown to the seaport
towns. Recently cinchona bark has been
obtained in large quantities from Java,
and the market is now so well supplied
that the price of quinine averages about
81 cents an ounce. Quinine by the way,
might well be called the universal drug,
for there is hardly country store where
it ID not sold, and few families are with
out a supply, while the government
keeps hundreds of pounds in pill and
tablet form, ready to fill acquisitions by
the army and navy

The extension of the free delivery
Of mails to populous rural districts in
which the service promised to be dis
tinctly advantageous and feasible has
been the most notable recent achieve
ment of the Postoffice Department.
Over 1000 routes have been established
and nearly 100000 families are served
with daily meal at their DOORS Free
delivery makes practicable the aboli-
ton of many small posto6ices, with
resultant saving, and at the same time
leads to larger use of the mails for
the quick dispatch of parcels as well
as of letters and newspapers.

yellow fellow, are terri orizing the
country to the east of the city, and
their operations have grown to such

Is the query, "What shall we do
with our girls?" to become a serious
economic problem in the United States?
1t is declared that the excess of wom-
en- over men in New York City is 900.
There has long been, from a matri-
monial point of view, great numbers
Of superfluous women in New Eng
land. But the surplus of women In
the East. it has always been pointed
out, is offset by a surplus of men In
the West. Now. however, comes word
from Colorado that men are declin-
ing there. Recent statistics show that
women outnumber the men.

Worried into what a Frenchman has
declared to be new disease peculiar
to American women, and which he
calls "servantgalism," the mothers of
a number of families at Portage, Wis
consin, have established a system Of
cooperative dining. The women first
formed a club and rented a vacant
building near the business part of the
town. to the furnishing Of which each
member contributed a share. Then
a manager was engaged to hire the
help, do all the buying and see that
the plans of the club were carried out.
The families of the members take all
their meals at the club, plain food be-
ing served. The meals cost an aver
age of ten cents each for each per-
son-sixty cents being about the cost
of food for a family Of half a dozen
persons. The members assert that
they are wholly pleased with the en-
terprise.

Apropos of some of the English
judges discarding their wigs in court
during the hot weather of the past
summer, and of the English soldier
discarding his theoretical for practical
methods of warfare, the Canadian
Law Journal says: "But anything ic
possible when British soldiers are al
lowed to go into battle, not shoulder
to shoulder, as of yore, and as a great
red target for the enemy, but as indi-
vidual sharpshooters, clothed in dus4,
colored khaki, with the privilege o.
exercising such common sense as has
not been drilled out of them. We
have. therefore, every reason to hope,
II the hot weather and the war last
long enough, that 1t may dawn upon
the average Englishman that he does
not know everything, and that it is
possible and desirable for him to
learn something from other people,"

Thirty years ago an attempt was
made to introduce petroleum as fuel,
especially in iron and steel mills; but
there was difficulty in getting the
proper furnace. Now it is announced
that the Russians have abandoned the
effort to atomic the oil by steam
jet, having produced perfect COM
bustive system in which the oil is
vaporized by hot water under pressure.
AS a consequence of this improvement
the use of liquid fuel in Russia has
enormously increased, over seven
million tons of petroleum products
having been used last year to generate
power. Steamship companies In Asia
tic waters have equipped their ships
for the consumption of liquid fuel, and
have established supply stations be-
tween Suez and Yokohama to which
the oil is carried by freighters with
a capacity of 5000 gallons each. Sew
eral European naval vessels have been
fitted with furnaces for oil, which
many regard as the fuel Of the future.

There was little rain during the past
summer in the mountain region which
supplies the semi-arid district Of the
far West with water; the SHOWS last
winter were very light, and the re-
sulting continued drought made the
great forests a ready prey to flames.
The mischief thus wrought is incalcul-
able and irremediable, and 1t can be
lessened only by careful and intelli-
gent regulation by law of the privi-
lege of entrance upon public forest
reservations. If the wooded glory OF
the great mountains should be swept
away a vast area of now fertile terri
tory would revert to hopeless sterility.
