To allay itching and irritation Of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dam
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree

parting, gently rubbing Cuticura oint-
ment into the parting with a bit OF
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings

Backache Makes Anyone Feel Old

Nothing ages anyone more quickly than
weak kidneys.
1t is not alone the aching back, the stiff,
painful joints, but the evil effect OF bad,
poisoned blood on the nerves, the vital
organs and the digestion.
The condition of the kidneys makes good
health or ill-health.
The kidneys are the filters of the blood.
Active kidneys filter from the blood ev-
cry day over one ounce of poisonous waste
and pass it off dissolved in the urine.
IL the kidneys are weak or diseased, only
part of this filtering is done and the blood
is heavy with uric acid and other poison
Gus or waste matter.
Instead of being nourished by the
blood, the nerves and vital organs are IT.
ritated, and the circulation, digestion, etc..
are disturbed.
IL your back aches constantly, If your
joints are stiff, lame and painful, suspect
the kidneys.
Kidney sufferers are likely to feel dull,
heavy, restless at night, rheumatic, dizzy
at times, subject to headaches and an
noyed with sharp, piercing pains that
make work an agony and rest impossible.
Doans Kidney Pills are the best-recom-
mended and most widely used remedy for
weak or diseased kidneys. They act quick
ly; contain no poisonous nor habit form
ing drugs and leave no bad after-affects
of any kind-iust make you feel better all
over.

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
Growth of Drug Habit in United States
Alleged to Be Due to Oplates
Ordered in Prescriptions.

That SO 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,
and others, proving that physicians
and not patent medicines are re-
sponsible for 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
''It is very sad thing to say that
our PHYSICIANS are uOluS Lu0 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 it is that the impor-
tation of opium into the country is
| becoming larger and larger year by
year. have heard it said on reliable
authority that SO 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.. J. 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.

There have been admitted during
the year q companies, and 13 COM
panies have ceased to transact bust
ness in the state. During the year
there have been issued about 10000
agents licenses. Five new companies
have been organized in the state dur
ing the year and two companies have
discontinued doing business. The to-
tai receipts of the department of the.
year are In excess of $950,000.

of company from other states in
wolves an examination of the business
and affairs of such company. In addi-
ton examination of home companies
are frequently made, both at the in
stance of the department, or of policy
holders, and on request of the COM
panies themselves, for the purpose of
using such reports of examination on
their application for license to trans
act business in other states.
The reports of the companies are
carefully compiled into statistical
tables. The tables are so made up
that practically every item of the
| statement of the company is shown,
and the statistical tables now pub

stantially all the information which
can be obtained from the full state

the companies statements is checked,
and to insure accuracy addition of the
items in the reports, which often ag-
gregates hundreds, are re-added with
the result that the completed tables
| balance exactly.

adopted by the state board of normal

To Prevent Many New Bills.

o FT1NGHl Hdty INCW O'iS'
Individual members of the next Wis
consin legislature will demand less
and the people of the state collectively
will ask more legislation than in any
previous session. This is the natural
deduction from a review of the activi-
ties of the legislative reference library,
where bills for the coming session are
being drafted.
Never in the history of Wisconsin,
said DIR. Charles Mccarthy, chief of
the reference library, have legislators
apparently shown so little interest in
the sessions program. do not be-
lieve the session will be short one.
The unusual activity of organizations
of the state in the interest of proposed
legislation indicates it will be as long
or longer than any other session In
the states history"
The measures now in preparation
will touch practically every field of hu-
man activity Undoubtedly the biggest
feature will be bills for the protection
OF the workers.

Convict Labor Problem.

1t cost the state of Wisconsin, for
the year ending June 80. 1912, $154,-
1858 to maintain it's wards in the
state prison at Waupun
Under the contract or lease system
in vogue in the state the prisoners
earned for the state approximately
$95, 600, leaving the net cost for main
tenance $59,768
There are about 600 male prisoners
in the institution, under contract to
work ten hours per day for corpora
ton, and they fail to earn enough for
their own support.
Shall the system continue?
II not, what plan shall be adopted?
These are questions that will press
meets next month.
The present contract by which the
labor of the convicts is leased expires
in 1914. 1t is held by the Paramount
Knitting company and by it's terms the
state Is bound to furnish power, light,
heat, water and shoproom. The knit
ting company furnishes machinery and
overseers and pays to the state IS
cents per day for the labor OF each
convict ten hours per day. A task sys-
tenn prevails, however, by which pris-
oncrs who do the work assigned them
may earn for themselves whatever
they are able to do beyond the work
assigned them and during the past
year these earnings amounted to ap-
proximately $4,000 This was credited
to the. prisoners, who earned it. to be
applied as they direct.
1t is believed by members of the
board of control. as we'll as by others
who have given thought to the matter,
that this contract should not be re-
newed.

industrial Schools Make Progress.

Special school control and specially
practical teachers are essential to the
success of vocational education, ac-
cording to DR. Louis Reber, secretary
Wisconsin industrial school board, and
dean of the University of Wisconsin
extension division. THE teaching staff
in established schools is academic,
says Doctor Reber 1T is prone to in
cline toward academic tradition. 1t
lacks the experience, the atmosphere,
the perspective, the local color, ali of
which are necessary to vocational in
struction.
The academic teacher is unsuccess-
full in industrial instruction. In Wis
consin we have supply of teachers
direct from the factories. The greater
part of Wisconsin's vocational educa-
ton is given in evening schools and
experienced tradesmen from the fac
tories are ever ready to serve. The
Wisconsin idea in vocational training
is not mere theory. 1t is fact. 1t
is not a mere copy of the German sys-
tenn, but an adaptation TO suit Ameri.
can conditions and American needs. ]
