DOCTORS AND DRUGS.
Use of Opiates by Physicians and Trained
Nurses.


From time to time one reads of the
prevalence of the drug habit among mem
bers of the medical profession, and one
wonders what basis of truth there is for
the remarkable and unpleasant charge.
physicians who do not attempt to cure
themselves make but feeble appeal to
the confidence of their patients, and it Is
safe to say that few patients would will
ingly entrust their lives to the care of
doctor addicted to drugs.
1t has been alleged, however, even in
the medical journals, that a doctor, ac-
customed for years to the administration
of opiates, may come to fancy himself
immune to their deleterious effects-some-
what on the principle of every man be-
llevlng every other man mortal but him
self. Perhaps, through his prescriptions,
he has led, all unwittingly of course, GER
tam nervous men and more women to
become the slaves of morphine, chloral
or cocaine, and he looks upon these weak
er vessels with pitiful professional eyes.
For himself, he can, when needs be, take
a drug with impunity; take it or let it
alone
Some months ago when DIR. Eugene
Grissom, famous alienist and neurolo-
gist, committed suicide at Washington,
ID. C., 1t was noted that he was vie
tim of the drug habit, and several news
papers sounded an alarm in the land. In
speaking of the unpleasant subject at the
time prominent physician was quoted
as saying that, IF a man in my pTofes-
sion has himself well in hand he can take
an opiate now and then with as little
risk as he runs in taking an occasional
drink of whisky-with even less risk, be-
cause doctor can't approach patient
with the odor Of rum on his breath when
he may be really in need of Stimulant."
This may be true, but we are 10th To
believe that it is a fact in the lives of
many practicing physicians. II is enough
to know that some of the nurses in oar
larger hospitals, as well as many pharma-
cists, have admitted that from much
handling of seductive drugs they have be
come addicted to their use. The habit.
1t appears, is formed insensibly through
the example set the younger by the older
clerks or nurses and it is pursued with
out a moments thought of the pcrncious
consequences. living or rather dying illus

Amonu the RACINE Stables

The meeting opens with more than
$50 horses in the racing stables and
among them some of the swiftest track
and harness horses in the northwest
circuit. Many noted stables cut Boise
and Walla Walla to get in shape for
the Lewiston meeting, and if the
weather continues favorable they favor
extending the race meeting a week to
ten days longer than advertised as this
is the last meet of the circuit andman
of the horses will be wintered here.
Several of the large stables We're here
last year, were we'll pleased with the
management then and are anticipating
q highly successful meet at this fair.
The following are among the num-
complete stables and strings of racers:
c. F. Tanner of BOISE, with a stable
of three fleet ones-Dr. Long, Come
Again and Caligula, all thoroughbreds.
Mr.. Tanner has attended five fairs dur
ing the season and will will take his
string to California for the winter
where. among other races, he has en-
tered DR.. Long for the $4,000 Burns
handicap. Mr.. Tanner mas attended
every fair given by the association and
has confidence in the success of the
meet here.
}, Another Boise stable represented
here at the races is that of c. =. Dye.
who is here with string of four run
ners-Baldo, Rather, Maggie D, and
Uhel. Mr. Dye has made the c. lit
in Montana and Utah and has had a
successful season. His horse Rather
is the only real rival Populist ever
had on the northwest circuit.
The Beaver Head stables of Dillon,
Montana, has notable string Of rum
ners entered at the meeting, including
such Well-known winners as Buck
Wan, a noted quarter horse: Senator
Dubois Inbred, Miss Croix and King
CroiX. These Montana horses have
made the Montana circuit and came
here direct from the Boise meeting.
f, Rinehart is here again. fe is well
known among visitors 10 the Lewiston
fair and can be counted on to land
some of the good money in the assoc
citation purses. He is now carrying
only two in his strirg-Eittle Hznrv
and Classas. the latter "a noted winner
this season.
Mr. Rinehart, after the Yakima
meeting, sold the other horses of his
stable, among them Big Dutch. a quar-
ter horse we'll known here.
Montague e. Kiniav came here dirAct
from Spokane and expect to winter
here. They have nice string or prom

them Lou Tambien, Lille Mac, Nora

Products which Time Natures.

Wines and spirits can only ma. tiire bJ
considerable lapse of time in the proc
ess of manufacture. The period varies
with different brands and qualities.
Some red wines, for instance, cannot
be said to be ripe for use until they
have been kept for fully ten years.
while the minimum age at which wills
ky is ready for the open market is five
years. For somewhat similar reasons
ana because it requires elaborate dry
ing tobacco takes very long time in
arriving at good condition
Leather is another article which
must undergo long course of prepara-
ton for the market, though modern
improvements have shortened the De-

Changing the delights of the Rockies
for the stifiiing dust OF the desert, the
greatest irrigation problem the world
can ever know compels one to con-
temptation of the wonderful benefits
resultant from it's solution. Some day
Uncle Sam will drive his water wagon
over the 100000 acres of vacant public
lands of the United States. over one
half of which, at the present time, is
adapted for grazing purposes only.
WAGER sufficient to irrigate $4,000, 900
acres is now running to waste in the
mountains of the West One acre of
irrigated land will support one person,
and taking the average of FIVE persons
to family, the question of what shall
we do with our rapidly increasing
population finds ready answer. Arid
lands in sixteen states to the acreage
above mentioned are not worth one
dollar per acre. An acre of irrigated
land in any state can not be bought
for less than fifty dollars, and in many
states this same land under a per-
fected scheme of irrigation is selling
at much higher figure.
The national irrigation fund now
