FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON
Manuscripts and Works Of Popular
Writer Unearthed In Samoa and
Hawaii, by an Admlrer.

It is learned that number of new
and relatively important manuscripts
of Robert Louis Stevenson have been
discovered in Samoa and in Honolulu
by an ardent admirer of the great
novelist, who had been for some time
in both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings of the famous Scotsman
as might possibly be found in the pos
session of some of the many friends
of Stevenson during his years In the
Pacific.
The result of this research has been
the finding of an essay, said to be
highly poetical in character. written
by the novelist after witnessing a vol
cano in action. supposedly either the
famous crater of Savaii or the pit of
Kilauea in Hawaii; a piece of fiction
dealing with South Sea life, and a
number Of smaller verse compost
tions.
Still another manuscript, a blank
verse relation of a well-known legend
OF Maui, of considerable length, but
unfinished, has also come to light, and
the enthusiastic admirer of Stevenson
feels highly rewarded for his month
of effort.

SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK

Kingsley, Mich.-"Last May my
thirteen-months-old baby had a sore
come on her cheek. 1t started in four
or FIVE small pimples and in two or
three hours time spread to the size Of
silver dollar. 1t spread to her eye.
Then water would run from the PIN
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 a 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 n chance to help her, but
after 1 washed it with Cuticura Soap
and then put on the Cuticura Oint-
ment they seemed to soothei her and
she did not try to rub them OF. 1t
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)

refer such questions to body of men
who are already convinced Of the
worthlessness of proprietary medi-

the unlimited authority to decide
whether our claims for Peruna are

My claims are based both on cred.
liable theoretical grounds and upon
irrefutable statistics. But am quite
willing to have our claims as to che
composition OF Peruna properly and
thoroughly Investigated, and II found
to be false proper penalty should

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 drng
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.
