SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK

Kingsley. Mich.-"Last May my
thirteen-months-old baby had sore
come on her cheek. It started In four
or five small pimples and In two or
three hours time spread to the size of
silver dollar. It spread to her eye.
Then water would run from the pim-
pies and wherever that touched 1t caus-
ed more sores until nearly all one
cheek and up her nostrils were one
solid sore. She was very fretful She
certainly was terrible looking child,
and nothing seemed to be of any use
Then got some Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. She tried to rub
of everything we put on SO that we
would sit and hold her hands for two
hours at a time, trying to give the
medicine chance to help her, but
after l washed 1t with Cuticura Soap
and then put on the Cuticura Oint-
ment they seemed to soothe her and
she did not try to rub them of. It
was only few days before her face
was all healed up, and there has been
no return Of the trouble since We
thought that baby's face would surely
be SCARED, but it is not" (Signed)

Roses In Medicine.

Roses at one time figured prom
inently in the pharmacopoeia. Pliny
caves 80 remedies compounded of
rose leaves and petals. Sufferers
from nervous complaints used to seek
relief by sleeping on rose pillows and
one is told that Helogabalus used to
imbibe rose wine as a pick-me-up
after his periodical gormandizing
hours. The flower was also served
at table. both as garnish. in the way
parsley is now used, and as salad,
and rose water was largely used for
flavorfng dishes. Roses as food have
gone out of favor among western ma
tions. but the Chinese still eat rose

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
Growth Of Drug Habit In United States
Alleged to Be Due to opiates
Ordered In Prescriptions.

That 80 per cent. of all the cocaine
and morphine manufactured in this
country is used by persons who have
formed the drug habit through physi-
clans prescriptions is the startling
statement made by DR.. L. F. Kebler.
Chief of the Division Of Drugs, Depart
ment of Agriculture. This statement.
concerning the appalling growth Of
drug addiction in the United States,
was made by DR.. Kebler In an address
at Washington, before the American
Society for the Study of Alcohol and
Narcotics.
DR.. Kebler is quoted by Washington
papers as having declared that drug
using had increased 100 per cent. in
the last 40 years, and that American
medical men were not discriminating
enough in their use of opiates. Their
overindulgence to their patients, he
said. is creating thousands of drug
users every year.
1T is very sad thing to say that
our physicians are doing the greatest
work in promoting the use of cocaine
and morphine" said the doctor. "State
laws are not saving the public from
the grip of the drug habit, and the
American public is sinking tighter
and tighter into the black abyss Of
the morphine and cocaine fiend.
"The worst Of 1t is that the impor-
tation--of opium into the country is
becoming larger and larger year by
year. have heard 1t said on reliable
authority that 80 per cent Of the CO.
caine and morphine manufactured in
this country is used by persons who
have formed the habit through doc.
tors prescriptions"
Almost simultaneously with DR.. Keb.
ler's address, DR.. ]. A. Patterson, at
Grand Rapids, Michigan, in a public
statement said that 10 out of every 20
patients who come to an institution
with which he is connected for treat.
ment for the drug habit owe their
downfall to physicians prescriptions.

Leased Lands Bring Large sum.

Denver.-Colorado has 3,332,709.37
acres of land on hand January l,
1918. It expects to have several mil
lions more acres ceded to 1t by the
federal government. For the year 1912
the State Land Board sold 79,6s1.72
acres. The board is in favor Of leas-
ing the state lands because OF the big
revenue that it means to the state,
says the Denver Post. Some idea Of
the rentals secured from lands in 1911

the subject of recent agitation in many
states. In most of them. if woman dies
without a will the whole of her property
can be claimed by her husband. whereas
if man dies intestate the widow is en-
titled only to a third. If woman mar
ried, her property became her husbands.
and upon his death she had no more
claim upon it than if it never had be-
longed to her More than fifty years ago
a little girl sat in her fathers study lis
tening to the story of an old woman who
had been left penniless by her husband.
He had willed the farm which she had
brought to him by marriage and upon
which she had been born. to their only
son. The son married. and the daughter
in-law was unkind to the mother. who,
in her old age, had no means of support.
Judge Cady would give her no help be-
cause the law gave her property to her
husband when she married, and gave him
the right to will it to whom he pleased.
The little girl felt her blood grow hot
within her as she listened to the discus
sion. Years later, when Elizabeth Cady
Stanton had been able to arouse thou
| sands of men and women to a desire to
correct the injustice of American laws
for women. she dated her own enlghten-
ment to the sad experience of the old
woman she heard as a Child in her ia

THE MODERN WOMAN.
XX1Y Legal Status Of
American Women,
BY Frederic j. Hask In.

Despite the much-vaunted advantages
enjoyed by the American woman, there
are some states in which her rights be-
fore the law are practically nil. and her
legal status. If she is married. is little
better than that of a chattel or slave to
her husband. The woman suffrage move
ment, in it's wide-sweeping influence. is
largely responsible for calling attention
to these defects in American law, and
also is instrumental in securing the pass
age OF many legislative measures to cor
rect them. A great deal yet remains to
be accomplished in this direction. Prof.
George Elliott Howard of the University
of Nebraska said in recent address upon
this subject: THE fact is. that touching
the legal position of women, American
legislation is often found to be medieval.
even barbarous in its provisions.
To the average person, who has made no
investigation upon the subject. 1t would
seem reasonable that the rights of the
father and mother in the guardianship OF
their children should be equal. but in
only seven states Colorado, Kansas,
Maine. Nebraska, New York, Pennsyl-
yania and Rhode Island is this the case.
In these states this equal right has been
won only after hard fight, made by the
women themselves. The original law gave
all of the rights to the fIther. In Mary
land, a mother may be the guardian of
her child If the father Is dead. in case
he has not appointed another guardian by
will Illinois gives the father the right
to provide guardian for a child, but the
law there protects the mother to the ex-
tent of providing that no such appoint
msnt shall deprive the mother of the Gus
tody and tuition of her child without her
conseA, iS she be proper person TO nave
such charge. 1t also provides that Wid-
owed mother. if sane, may appoint
guardian of her child by will.

Not Always Required
to Support Wife.

There are few states where the law re-
quires wife to support her husband, and
yet i'm most of them her wages can be
regularly collected by her husband even
though he does not contribute to her
support. There is popularity regarding
the California law upon this point. The
civil code provides that 1.-The earnings of
wife are not liable for the debts of her
husband" but her earnings fall into what
is known as 'the community which the
husband controls. A California woman
recently sued her husband for divorce
upon the ground that he did not provide
her with the necessities of life. He de-
feated her by proving that she was earn
ing large income, that her earnings were
legally part of 1.-The community, which
was under his jurisdiction, and that he
allowed all of her earnings to be used by

band, allowing her full measure of sup
port.

times a married woman's lack of re-

The highest court in the state compelled
the bank to refund the money, and IT still

to the pecuiarites of the laws of the

In Georgia a man has right to go into
a business partnership with his wife, but
if the wife promises to pay her husband s
debts any one who takes her note may
lose. because in Georgia the note OF
married woman has no legal value. This
is true also in Texas, where a married
woman recently was asked by New
York firm to perform a certain legal
transaction. She consented and the party
desired to secure her by contract. Il Will

In Michigan a married woman cannot
go into business without the consent of
her husband. Last year a man petitioned
the court to restrain his wife from going
into the piano business They had start
ed a piano store together several years
before and had grown prosperous. each
working in it day by day. They qLarreled
and he put her out of the store and or
dered her to stay out. She stayed out. but
started a piano store of her own, since
that was the only business she knew
The husband suffered from her opposi-
ton, and therefore appealed to the court
to restrain her from continuing her busi-
ness. The judge upheld him, stating that
while in Michigan "a wife in most cases
enjoys the right to conduct business upon
her own account he was unable to find
any decision which affirmed this right to
her when the husband withholds his
consent.
