OPINION NOT ALWAYS FINAL
Pretty Safe to Say That Doctors
Diagnosis Was Away Off"
in This Case.

The pretty daughter of a physician
is engaged to a college student of
whom her father does not altogether
approve. His daughter is too young
to think OF marriage, the doctor as
serts; the college student is too
young to think of it, likewise. 1t is
out of the question.
She explained all this to her lover
the other night.
Father says" she summed 1t up;
father says, dear. that 1 will have to
give you up"
The young man sighed. Then it's
all over?" he murmured, with gloomy
interrogation. And the girl laughed
and blushed.
Well" she said, well, you-you-
know that when the doctor gives you
up that's just the time for you t. take
more hope. Isn't it sometimes that
way?"-Reboboth Sunday Herald.

that in the mud and silt surrounding
the hull Of the Maine there is a great
quantity of coal. Human bones have
also been picked up outside the hull.
An internal explosion naturally

condition has been found. The report
was prevalent in Havana and in the
United States shortly after the work
of raising the Maine was begun that
wires had been found close to the hull
of the ship which communicated with
the shore, but this report was found
to be false. The wires were those in
use between Havana and Casa Blanca.

BLAME PHYSICIANS FOR

New York.-Blame for the prev

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 its passage. Caswell Mayo,
one Of the druggists, said he had
made 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.
