BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
Growth Of Drug Habit in United States
Alleged to Be Due to Opiates
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 Or. l.. +. Keller,
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.
1T is a very sad thing to say that
Jul puy SlCldllS are uOluB lue BTtdltsL
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 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.. 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.

WASHINGTON POSSESSED BAD
TEETH, HIS FACE PlTTEp
AND PRoFANE.
LINCOLN MUCH 0vERRATED"
Was Not Respected by His Cabinet,
Mayor Says In Review Of Volume
on Two Statesmen at Re-
quest Of Author.

New York.--Mayor Gaynor was
asked to review book by Rev. Rob
ert w. Mclaughlin. The book is
called Washington and Lincoln" The
mayor did so. He wrote DR.. McLaugh.
lin a letter which was just made pub
lie.
"The general impression of Wash
ington," observes the mayor, in put
ting the stamp of his opinion on the
"Father of His Country" lis largely
mythical We think of him as a good
man, who told the exact truth always,
and never got angry, and suffered ev-
erything patiently
"But, as a matter of fact, he was of
warm blood and prone to passion, as
his contemporaries agree. He Is even
known to have sworn like a trooper
vt times. And his face was pltted,
and he had bad teeth and other phys
teal imperfections.
He was not the equal in knowledge
Of history, economics and government
Of the men who surrounded him; but
after he had listened patiently to their
counsel his Judgment was safe and
sound.
THE character of Lincoln was diff
terent He signed the emancipation
proclamation. That was momentous
tact in history. But it had to be al
most extorted from him. And the
Russian emperor had done the like
not long before.
Unlike the case of Washington,
those around him, and especially MEN,
bers Of his cabinet, did not greatly
respect him. Many of them were GER
tain that they knew much more than
he did. Some of them called him an
old fool.
HE was blamed for every blunder
or failure of the generals in the field.
But he had more philosophy than all
Of his advisers and generals and crit
les put together. And therein was his
greatness"
