The Drug Habit.
(Springield Union.)

The recklessness with which some per
sons use strong drugs to relieve bodily
ills is aptly illustrated in the case OF q
Vermont woman who died in New York
hotel of an overdose Of morphine, after
leaving a letter which contained re-
mark that she had just swallowed two
drug stores' Even the strongest drugs,
when taken repeatedly, lose the power to
effect the purpose desired, and then there
naturally comes the fatal overdose. Many
persons die in just this way every year.

pitched on his head from the back
of his horse. He went to an osteopath
for neuralgia, and the doctor found
that what allied him was a broken
neck. He gave the Senator's neck a

back into place and now the Senator

Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
p. v. DeGraw has issued statement
that the Post Office Department has
not approved any special device for re-
ceiving loose change In the mail boxes
on rural delivery routes.
Some time ago the Department called
attention to practice of patrons placing
money loosely in the boxes IN payment
of postage, which is permitted In lieu
OF stamps when same are not obtain
able. and requested that the patrons
provide small receptacles for the
money, so tina. the carrier would not be
delayed In locating the coins. -aa--.s.-
Several enterprising firms have in
vented certain coin-holding devices for
use on rural routes, and pointing to the
request of the Department officials for
the installation of some such device,
have, by Inference at least, led the pa
irons to believe that their device was
officially indorsed.
Mr.. DeGraw states that none of the
devices have been approved or indorsed
by the Post Office Department, as it is
not the policy of the Department to
give official approval 10 csy such de-
vices It is stated, however, that many
of the devices in question possess merit
and there Is no objection to their use.
Past Department Commander. Newton
Ferree. of the Department of Potomac,
G.. A. r., was presented with a magnifi-

IIelp the Weak Earmer

It is the duty OF the strong to help
the weak. 1t is the duty OF every
land owner to assist his tenants and
endeavor to make them prosperous
and contented. Every white tenant Ia
the Sodth should be encouraged by
the land owner to get on a cash basis,
diversity his crops, send his children
to school, and If possible, ultimately to
buy and own small farm. II this IL
not done there can at least be a coop
Grafton between the land owner and
the tenant, which would greatly
strengthen the control and marketing
of the cotton crop each season. The
weak cotton growers OF the South are
the men who need help in the mar
keting OF cotton. They preponderate
both in numbers and bales grown In
the cotton area of the South.
The greatest prosperity in any az.
ricuutural country will be found in
the success of the small farmer. The
small, thrifty land owner means better
roads, better homes. better schools, q
higher type of educated husbandry and
withal a more advanced, cultured and
progressive civilization. We want to
call the specific attention of large land
owners to the subjects discussed above
and request their serious consideration
of the policies advocated and their
prompt cooperation in getting them
into practical cooperation. WinafieId

SHOES FOR THE HOT WEATHER.
New Buttoned oxford Will Be Among
the Most Popular.

With lingerie dresses for summer a
new buttoned oxford will be worn.
It is not on the Du Barry order, but
rather on the style of the strapped
slipper, for the boot is slit between the
buttons so that the stocking may show
through. With these, Dame Fashion
says, colored stockings must be worn
to match the gown or belt.
Many street slippers will be fitted
with high French heels, but because
there are some sensible women who
will not consent to go any distance in
such monstrosities, summer shoes may
be obtained with Cuban or military
heels. 1t is predicted that opera slip
pers will be worn on all occasions, and
these will be made in black, white and
pink, or any other shade that might
by any chance be required.
