THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFr
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation Of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura oint.
ment into the parting with bit Of
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint-
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is we'll to place light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.

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.
If the kidneys are weak or diseased, only
part of this filtering is done and the blood
is heavy with urls 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
If 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.
Doan's Kidney Pills are the bestrecom-
mended and most widely used remedy for
weak or diseased kidneys. They act quick,

ing drugs and leave no bad after-affects
of any kind-just make you feel better all
over

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 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.
~ 10 q NCly eau " Sdy tudl
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 it is that the impor-
tation of opium into the country is
becoming larger and larger year by
year. l 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 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.

All the attendant symptoms of in

Mr. Morrical came up to Batavia last
Saturday TO take look aC his farm and

that Perry did not own the farm and
never had been heard of here. Perry

take him to safety, and the chances
