BLAME PHYSICIANS FOR
GROWTH OF DOPE HABIT
Druggists Say Prescriptions and Not
Patent Medicines the
Cause.

New York.-Blame for the prev
alence and growth of the morphine
habit was placed on the shoulders of
physicians, who prescribed the drug,
at a meeting of druggists here to-
night to protest against the recently
enacted city ordinance prohibiting the
sale at retail of any preparation con-
tanning morphine or it's salts except
upon a doctors prescription.
The ordinance is aimed primarily
at paregoric and at stomach remedies,
according to members of the board of
health who were instrumental in OBJ
tanning it's passage. Caswell Mayo,
one of the druggists, said he had
mad a canvass by mail of several
sanitariums and the replies convinced
him 80 per cent. of the victims OF
drugs formed the habit as a result of
using prescriptions given by physi-
clans and only 8 per cent. from using
proprietary medicines.

Ostrich Bands,

Cut ostrich feathers are now being
made into bands for trimming hats
and dresses. These come in all col
ors that are adapted for street and
house wear. They are uncurled, and
therefore can be taken out into the
rain with safety, if you wish. They
are light in weight and give the effect
of fur, which points speak eloquently
in their favor. ,
Ostrich bands edge some of the
large hats Of velvet or silk. The trim.
ming is applied on the edge of the
wide brims, and usually there is lit.
tie else required.
Some velvet suits are shown with
cuffs and long revers of this trimming,
Gray on gray velvet, black on black
or colors are most effective.
The scarfs and muffs of feathers
and fabric are beautiful. When you
consider that the bands are procurable
by the yard, there is no limitation to
the many forms that the trimmings
can take. ..r .,,..

walton is filled with stones varying in
size from small pebbles to boulders
eight or ten inches in diameter, the
largest being placed at the bottom.
These stones need not be placed with
special care, but the condition of the
mass should be such as to permit con-
solidation with a roller. To dispose of
the water collected by a drain of this
kind, narrow trenches should be cut to
the sides So as to connect with open
outlets. These trenches should also
be filled with stones. Such a drain is
usually effective and ordinarily costs
less than two side drains.
Another way of multiplying in part
the effect of the subsurface water is
to construct a foundation of telford.

Doctors Said He Wou|dD Die
A Friends Advice Saves Life

I wish to speak of the wonderful cure
that I have received from your noted
Swamp-Root, the great kidney and blad-
der cure. Last summer I was taken with
severe pains in my back and sides. /
could not breathe without difficulty and
was nearly wild with the desire to urinate.
Was compelled to do so every ten min
utes with the passage of pure blood with
the urine. I tried all the different doc
tors from far and near, but they said it
was no use to doctor as I would die y
way. I was at the end of my rope and
was so miserable with pain and the
thought that I must die that words can
not tell how I felt. One day a friend told
me of the wonderful help she had received
from DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. She gave
me n of your pamphlets which I read
and determined to try Swamp-Root. After
taking half a bottle I felt better. Have
now taken ten bottles and am well as I
ever was, thanks to Swamp-Root. I wish
to tell all suffering people that have kid
ney, liver or bladder trouble, that DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root is the best medicine on
the market.

ECZEMA GONE, BoILs CURED

my son was about three weeks old
when I noticed a breakingout on his
cheeks, from which a watery sub
stance oozed. A short time after, his
arms, shoulders and breast broke out
also, and in a few days became a solid
scab. I became alarmed, and called
our family physician, who at once pro-
nounced the disease eczema. The lit
tie fellow was under. his treatment
for about three months. By the end
of that time, he seemed no better. I
became discouraged, and as 1 had
read the advertisements of Cuticura
Remedies and testimonials of a great
many people who had used them with
wonderful success, I dropped the doc
tors treatment, and commenced the
use Of C%uticura Soap and Ointment,
IN in a few days noticed a marked
change. The eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulders,
arms and breast were decidedly bet
ter. When he was about seven
months old all trace of the eczema
was gone.
During his teething period, his
head and face were broken out in
hoils which I cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been a great sufferer. During the
time of teething and from the time I
dropped the DOCTORS treatment, I used
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment, nothing else, and when two
years old he was the picture of health.
His complexion was soft and beauti.
full, and his head a a of silky curls.
I had been afraid that he would never
be well, and I feel that I owe a great
deal to the Cuticura Remedies

DRAINAGE NECESSARY TO

CARELESS of any consideration of the
requirements of traffic. 1t is nov
/ generally recognized that, except in
unusual cases where the subsoil. is
full of water which cannot be drained
out, the telford base is unnecessary
except for purposes of subdrainage.
A satisfactory telford foundation may
be made by placing vertically on a
layer of gravel two or. more inches in
depth, stones of fairly uniform size,
not exceeding ten inches in width, six
inches in depth, and varying in length
from six to twenty inches. The stones
should be set on their broadcast edges,
~lengthwise across the road, and
wedged rigidly into position by driving
smaller stones into the hterstices
with mauls. Projecting points should
be broken off with stone hammers, de-
pressions filled with chips. and the

Where the foundation of the road
would otherwise be very bad, and
no gravel or other like material is
readily o%btainable, or where an IN
usually substantial road is required to
meet the demands of traffic, this
form of construction. is recommended.
Under ordinary conditions it is much
too expensive. 1t has been said, and
there is some supporting evidence,
that a rigid and %unyielding telford
base has the effect of an anvil, and
that the macadam, under the pound
of traffic, wears more rapidly than
in the ordinary broken-stone road.
Several other devices are some.

TOBACCO TIDINGS.

THE COST OF ADMINISTRATION

The cost of the Association is
managed like that of any other
up to date concern, doing bus
mess of more than a million dol
lars annually. 1t is well organ
lied, and employs modern bus
mess methods in all its depart
ments. The object if its bus
mess management is to get for
the grower, the highest possible
price for his tobacco, at the least
possible eXpence to him.
No one can deny the success of
this organization. No one can
deny its efficiency. These things
are too apparent to every one.
Many silly stories have been told
however, about the eXpence of
of running it. Here are the
facts.
Like any other business Of
large magnitude, the Association
must have lat its head men of
large business capacity. The SER
vices of such men can not be had
for a small salary. We are be-
ing frank''with you. 1t takes some
money to run the business prop
erly, but on the large amount of
tobacco handled, the expense, to
each grower is very inconsider
able indeed.
It has been costing 2 percent
to run the business. That means
expense ofevery kind, if a grow
delivers $4,000 worth of tobac-
co his part of the expense would
be So, or from IA cents to Is
cents per hundred lbs.
Now let us take, for example,
the 1909 crop, it was sold for 81.
per hundred average. fla grow
err delivered one thousand lbs,
average tobacco he would receive
s68.60 and $I.40 remained for

expenses.
We are confident that taking
every thing into consideration,
this is the most economically man.
aged of all the tobacco associat-
ions in the state. That some are
run cheaper we will admit, but
cheapness is not always economy.
For example in the 1909 crop
our eXpences was about IA cents
per hundred. Another organ
ization in this district reported an
eXpence account of some six or
seven cents per hundred less.
But their tobacco was sold for
more than a dollar below that of
the Association. So the grower
that pooled with that organizat-
ion, saved some 7 or 8 cents and
lost more than one dollar on
every hundred weight of tobacco
that he delivered.
Some men seem to like to save
at the faucet if they lose at
the bunghole.
We have another example of
Of cheaper administration. An
association in another district,
has been reporting an expense
account slightly under that of the
Stemming District. That organ
ization, however, has for some
years received something like
one dollar per hundred less than
that received by the Stemming
District. A net loss to the grow
ers of several hundred thousand
dollars.
1t is true that we might save
a few thousand dollars by getting
cheaper men, but we would, in
all probability, lose several hum
dred thousand by having the
business manage improperly.
That is the way the members
of this Association look at the
matter. They don't care a rap
foi all the talk about high sal
aries, so long as their tobacco
brings them enough above others
to pay the salaries and have a
a nice dividend besides.
