b DR.. L. f. Kebler, Chief of the Division of
Drugs in the Agricultural Department pro-
snounces the number of "dope" users in the
United States to be at least one million and pos
1ibly four million. He says that cocaine has
taken the place of morphine, the reason being
tAat heavy duty has shut out opinum of the
|rruder grades, while coca leaves come in by the
ton, under low rate of dnty. 1t is stated that in
1903 there were imported 1895 tons of leaves,
6csfing $4sS,545 an increase of over tenfold in
Hten years The great bulk Of this was used In
1DDft drink and nostrums
Il In commenting on this exhibit, the Phladel-
phia Press says that while arrests of dealers and
|eocaine users are useful, they do not touch the
sorigin of the trouble--the importation of coca
leaves, and adds that duty on that commodity
AhOuld be levied so high that coca leaves could
8be used for medicinal preparations only.

A Warning to Snorers.

We are grateful to Dr. Hansell Crenshaw, of
New Orleans, for denouncing snoring. Per
haps," says Dr. Crenshaw, eff most Of us could
- manipulate our dual personalities as to hear
ourselves as others hear us, we would take steps
\ Immediately to get relief from the snoring
habit y
We doubt it. We believe that the chronic
nnorer is vicious and that he would not reform
l Il he could. We may do him injustice for he
has disturbed slumbers so often that we
have prejudice against him akin to positive
Anmity, and no man with such a prejudice is a
\ 1xir judge.
Ii But, DIR. Crenshaw has taken new tack in
dealing with the professional snorer. He warns
him Of danger to himself in his process of tor
tnring others.
Snoring, he says, is but another name for
mouth breathing during sleep, and mouth
4 breathing is universally condemned by medical
|snuthorities. Mouth breathing, he explains, de-
flivers cold air into the delicate lung tissue adj
ss,sfits bacteria into the lungs bronchial tubes,
4 stomach, etc, and by permitting the oral cav
1 ity and throat to dry ont, causes irritation of
the throat and the delicate tubes leading to the
ears We are told that much permanent deaf
4 mess results from mouth breathing. Pneumonia,
\ Tuberculosis and deafness are but few of the
diseases to which mouth breathing strongly
4 predisposes.
@ ioyl There is some comfort in knowing
D HAT these murderers of sleep are numbering
\ themselves BY slow process We have known
sfha time when we could have wished that the
q process We're swifter.
Es But now that the snorers know that they are
ilestr0ying themselves by their midnight snorts,
perhaps they will be more careful If not the

temporary.

Mr.. Hearst s attorney says that he is going
to sue the New York Times and every newspaper
that handled unfairly the incident at the din
ner party of the Associated Press. Mr.. Hearst
claims that his charge against Mayor Gaynor
is fully sustained by letter from former Mayor
George b. Mcclellan.
In this letter, Mr.. Mcclellan says that in the
last days of his administration, Chamberlain
Martin called his attention to the $4,000 war
rant to Cohalan GAS the amount seemed ex-
cessive for the work alleged to have been per-
formed continues the ex-Mayor, II directed
Martin to secure the warrant in the Finance De-
partment and return it to me.
In the rush of leaving Office / had no time
to investigate and directed the chief clerk in
the Mayors Office to hold up the warrant and
call my successors attention to it Immediately
after Jan. l. am confident that the chief clerk
obeyed.
"The amount may have been justified but
I did not authorize its payment"
Mayor Gaynor admits that his attention was
called to the warrant, but that in the press of
business, he overlooked it.

% Mr.. Weston has been great walker all his
mature life In his youth he was frail and deli

largely to the fact that he has made outdoor
walking his main pastime.

Misdirected Education.
Mark Twain once said:

Mark Twain once said:
Training is everything The peach was once
bitter almond; caulifower is nothing but a
cabbage with a college education"
There be those who are glad that all cabbages
do not go to college and train themselves into
caulihower, for they like the uneducated cab
bage better.
Culture is good, but it may be misdirected.
For our part, we think that a cabbage should be
so educated as to make a better cabbage with
out destroying its character. And we think that
the same rule should apply in the education of
children. We do not believe in spelling natur-
al born mechanic by educating him into a seer
ond rate doctor or lawyer. That sort of edu-
cation flies in the face of nature and turns out
an inferior article. The training is all right,
but it should be in the right direction

that snoring is distinctly thological-abnormal,
and that the causes leading up to the habit are
either "cold in the head" growths in the nose,
or some other obstruction TO normal breathing
through the nose.
He says that the obstruction should be re-
moved whether it be a swollen mucous MEM
brane, thickened septura CT enlarged tonsil and
then the cure of snoring is simple matter All
that is necessary is to close the lips before re-
firing and plaster two snail strips of adhesive
plaster across them X-wise. This simple con-
trivance will not be uncomfortable, and will
effectully prevent vibration of the soft palate
and the resulting song of the night.
Now, snorers one and ALL will you be good :
viii you submit to simple surgical operation
and reform, or will you force a suffering pub
lie to apply to the Legislature for remedy in
law7

''Mr Shafer leaves World" is a somewhat
startling headline in Roanoke contemporary.
1t does not mean, however, that the late editor
of that newspaper has been translated, but that
he is going to edit the Chamber Of Commerce.
He is a live man, wherever he may labor, and
the Chamber of Commerce has done well to
engage his services But the World newspaper
will have bright writer. Editor Shafer is
succeeded by Editor James NJ Williams, who
made fine record as editor of the Times and
