A DEADLY DRUG.

The bill to prohibit the manufacture
and sale of cocaine and articles contain
ing it, drawn at the instance OF DR..
Charles Harrington, secretary OF the
State Board of Health, upon which
hearing was given yesterday, strikes at
the root of great social evil. Its pro-
visions are intended and calculated to
render this insidious and baneful drug
understandable in this State. 1t Is no
fancied evil against which it is directed.
1t is one whose effects are no longer IN
doubt. The drug is comparatively a
new one, and it is the worst IN Its opera
tons that up to this time has gained
currency in civilized communities. 1t
breaks down the will power and the
moral sense. 1t skaters manhood and
makes the person addicted to it re-
proach to his family and friends and
burden ii not a curse to society In gen
eral. 1t entails virtual insanity and an
insanity that cannot be cured or re-
lleved so long as the indulgence is per-
sisted in.
The evidence of this is not furnished
alone by the physicians. They under
stand it scientifically. They know
what it is and what 1t will do If used;
but the judges of the courts, especially
those before whom boys and young men
are frequently brought, know what it
has done and what it is doing. 1t un-
dermines individual responsibility, and
therefore constantly menaces the peace
and order of society. 1t places by
subtle processes clutch upon its VIC
tins from which there is almost never
an escape except by death. Using it as
a habit means a blighted life in nearly
every instance. Not only the doctors
and judges, but the Massachusetts
Pharmaceutical Association and the
Boston Druggists Association, who
know the demand for it, plead for the
passage of this bill.
The proposed penalties which 1t
carries are sufficiently severe to prohibit
the manufacture and sale of this drug
in any of its forms, and most of those
forms are specious disgulses having tor
their ostensible purpose the relief OF
suffering. Any person who breaks the
law "shall" pay fine of not less than
$500 nor more than $1,000, 'and' be I'M
prisoned for not less than three nor
more than six months. This is large
risk to take, especially as the sin OF
those who take it is pretty sure to lind
them out in the human wreckage that
they would cause. The passage OF the
bill would be the salvation of many
thoughtesS and reckless persons who
are caught in the meshes of this fear
full indulgence even before they are
aWare.-Boston Transcript.

good evening lectures by the strongest
men in their lines in the country, to-
gether with the regular program OF in
struction and demonstration, this week
bids fair to prove a valuable one to
those who will attend.
Mr.. Perley F. Skofeld of Houlton,
who graduates in this years class from
the College of Agriculture, has, with
four others, been elected to member
ship in the Phi Kappa Phi. Member
shin in this organization is limited to
seniors who have shown marked ability
in their lines and have attained the
highest standing in their class. Mr..
Skofield besides having attained high
standard of scholarship, has worked
his way through the University. He
has never been above taking any honor
able work whereby he could help de-
fray his expenses, and now, nearing
his commencement, has more financial
~ than he had when entering the Col
lege of Agriculture. This certainly
shows that man of the right type can
secure an education in spite of financial
difficulties if he has the earnest desire
and will to do SO.
The Department of Animal Industry
of the College of Agriculture has made
its first shipment of winter lambs to
the Boston market, which sold for $12
per head. This is not out of the ordi,
nary. 1t is just what was expected
and what many farmers can depend
upon if they will raise more sheep and
winter lambs. Attend Farmers Week
at the College of Agriculture, Univer;;
sity of Maine, March 9th to 10Th and
learn about this winter lamb business.

THE FoLwELL LOG CABIN.

Neglected and almost deserted log cabin
nm Warrens island in PenObsc0t bay, when
cost $4,000. is steadily going to decay ana
ruin. ,,,.,. r.
The island was purchased BY William h.
Folwell, a wel-knOwn Philadelphia wooden
manufacturer Some 10 years ago the cabin,
which was hobby of his, was erected. Mr.
Fowell died soon afterwards and 1t was
never occupied by him.
The building contains % sleeping rooms,
a living room 30 by 60 feet, dining room ~
by 25 feet, laundry 20 by % feet, a store room
IL by rs feet and a large bath room. There
ere 1928 windows, of which IL are DOW Will
dOws, and II dormer windows.
The living room is artistically decorated
with oil paintings, and has hard-wooo
door. 1t is often used by private parties
for dancing during the summer months, the
only occasion for which the cabin is opened.
Mounted birds, nets, blocks and armor COZ, col
iections add to the beauty OF the room. ne
furnishings include fine piano ana al
abundance of basket chairs.
The windows, of the open-pane style, are
surrounded on the interior by large gilt
frames, which give the effect OF a beautiful
picture as one looks away to the Camden
hills and PenObScot bay at the west
At the back of the living room is glgan-
tic fireplace, one of the largest in Maine,
built of brick and granite. The masonry
weighs over 40 tons The mantepiece is OF
marble, 125 feet in length, three feet wide
and nine inches thick, held in position by
large brackets of wrought iron which were
worked out by a nearby blacksmith.
Back of the mantel is a tablet of Pennsyi-
vania marble, 5 by feet, decorated Win
brass rosetteS and bearing the French In
scription s'Mon Reve" MY Dream).-Bos-
ton sunday Globe
"Neglected" is hardly the proper word to
use in connection with this building, nor is

it was designed only for summer occupan-
cv The senior Fowell bought the island
and began building the cabin, but did not
live to complete it, and the son who inherit
ed it carried it to completion in accordance
with his fathers plans. OF course no one
outside of the family knows what the build
ing cost, but probably half of $4,000 would
cover it, The logs used in constructing the
lower story were cut on the island quite
near the building The hearth of the fire
place in the living room, a stone weighing
several tons, was brought from Pennsyl-
vania by rail to Belfast and taken to the
island by the schooner New Era. On one side
of this fireplace is a model of the schooner
Edith G. Folwel, named for daughter OF
Vim. Ii. Folwell, and on the other side a
model of the sloop yacht Viking owned by
the sons, which has been hauled out at
Camden for several seasons, motor boats
having taken the place of sailing craft. AS
the FolwellS have summer home on lsola
Bella the log cabin is not regularly occu-
pied, but occasionally parties are given
.here, and it is kept in repair. 1t commands
beautiful views of the western bay, with
Camden nesting at the foot of the Camden
mountains nearly opposite.
