A few issues ago this paper made
a statement in which it advised the
teachers of the school to begin
teaching the pupils in regard to de-
facing public property. The article
was meant in good faith but was
misinterpreted by a couple of school
teachers, who were heard to say,
the Gazette wants us to teach the
children to deface property" One
said, God knows they know too
well how to deface property now. !"
If that be the case it is all the more
reason why they should begin to
make them quit it.

people are becoming uneasy and
they are filling the Hobbies, and not
only that, but it is reported that they
are putting up money to try to de-

Spokane, is somewhat interested and
they are ready for some compromise
to keep the state from being closed
up entirely.

Several women agitators who style
themselves suffragettes, are planning
a trip on foot from New York to
Washington, D. c., to witness the
inaugural ceremonies of President
elect Wilson. The best we can wish
for them is a repetition of the same
brand of weather we have witnessed
in this section for the past two
weeks. Women who are hunting
hardships should by all means be
accommodated, even if the weather
man has to work overtime.

A news item states that a cowboy
evangelist is expounding the gospel
in our neighboring town Of Troy
this week. The item concludes by
saying that he will tell the story Of
his life, which will be worth coming

and preachers would tell the story
of their life it would not be fit to
hear.

"If it were not for the thin stockings and
thin soled shoes worn by women the doctors
would probably be bankrupt" When you

Roses In Medicine.

Roses at one time figured prom
inently in the pharmacopoeia. Pliny
gives 80 remedies compounded Of
rose leaves and petals. Sufferers
from nervous complaints used to seek
relief BY sleeping on rose pillows and
one il 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 a garnish. in the way
parsley is now used, and as a salad,
and rose water was largely used for
fiavoring dishes. Roses as food have
gone out Of favor among western ma
tons, but the Chinese still eat rose
fritteYs.

Growth Of Drug Habit In United States
Alleged % BE pue to opIatea
Ordered IL 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. ( f. Kebier,
Chief Of the Division Of Drugs, Depart
ment Of Agriculture. This statement
concerning the appalling growth Of
drug addiction lii the United States,
was made BY Dr.. KebIer III al address
at Washington, before the American
Society for the Study Of Alcohol and
Narcotics
Or. 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 we're not discriminating
enough in their use of opiateg. Their
oyerindulgence 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. Estate
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 irnpor-
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..
came 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, III 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.
