Campaign Against Opium.

The great Chinese campaign against
opium fares variously in different
parts of the empire. In some provinces
the demand for opium continues as
great as ever. and efforts are made
to meet 1t without official interference.
But in Pekin, SO far as hospital ex-
perience goes. one might say that OPT
um smoking had almost disappeared.
The fact is that the Chinese seem to
be ashamed Of the use of the drug
now, and hesitate to seek treatment.
1t Is estimated that three-tenths of the
people have stopped smoking and
about eight.tenths Of the officials.
Among army officers the habit seems
to be entirely abolished. In Pekin
the number Of opium dens is about
half of what It was IS months ago.
They are all against the law, and the
native newspapers frequently note
raids on them by the police. The pun
ishment inflicted Is generally a Sc fine
or a months imprisonment. The price
of the drug has increased from 35 to
so per cent.

The Helendale stall was originated
upon the noted Helendale Guernsey
farm. It has not only been used with
unqualified success there but also up
on many other well-known places, says

excellence which merit consideration.

credited to the model and in addition
several other noteworthy features.
among these is the crossbar which
prevents the COW from going too far

are secured in the stalls by means OF

to return to the center when left free.
