has the work of street oiling under

the destructive actions of those he is
directly benefiting. He has appealed to
the commissioners to have an ordinance
passed making it a finable offense. 1t
is absolutely unnecessary for teams and
machines to travel over the oiled side
before it is ready in preference to the
other which is dry, he says. Only one
side Is oiled at time, so that traffic
can continue on the other.

Not for Many Years Has There Been
Such Large and Excellent Variety
from Which to Select.

Certain short draped coats Of sup
pie fur rounding away in the front are
launched by extremists, who are push
ing the pegtop silhouette, but they are
by no means graceful even for the
slender woman, and are not likely to
be taken seriously by the women in
this country.
Some Russian coats Of half length
or longer button up the left front,
close on the left shoulder, and have
high, close collars finished at the top
by a narrow band of contrasting fur.
A model of this type usually is loosely
belted or girdled across the back, If
not all around, and the model, while
good-looking If we'll worn, is becoming
only to the exceptional woman.
Many of the new fur coats are made
without collars for greater convenience
In the wearing of separate neck furs.
Innings are often of the handsome
brocades, and in some of the most
luxurious garments these Innings are
so rich in themselves that they add
greatly to the cost of the coat.

STREETS OF LONDON
Nearly All of Them Were Named
After Someone.
Each Has a Meaning, but Owing to
MisspelIing. Etc, II Is Impossible
to Conjecture Their Original
Purport.

London.-Those who are most IA,
miliar with the London streets prob
ably think least about their history.
But the stranger who at rare inter
walls, or possibly for the first time in
his life, visits the metropolis, must
often speculate as to the origin OF
this or that thoroughfare, or wonder
how some of the curiously-named
streets he passes through came by
their names. Since 1t has always
been the custom in this country to
name the ways of towns and cities
after somebody or something, one may
be sure that every one of the names
of London streets once had a special
meaning, though that meaning has so
much lost its point in the course of
time, or the original spelling has been
SO corrupted, that it is now in many
cases practically impossible even to
conjecture the original purport Of
the place-names of the metropolis.
Many London thoroughfores, like
many country village, probably owe
their names to the existence of some
hosiery In the immediate neighbor-
hood, and around which, in course Of
time, other houses were built, so that
at last a street was formed. Hanging

and Catherine Wheel alley, near Liv-

tanned their names in this manner.
Gracechurch street, city, Is said to
have had nothing whatever TO do
with that particular virtue In the be-
ginning, and perhaps there is NO
more of it there nowadays than there
used to be. 1t was originally spelled
"Grass-church," because Of the grass
that once grew along it's edges, or on
account of the fact that vendors OF
herbs dwelt there.
Holborn is another corruption of q
perfectly different word. Originally
it was "Old Bourne" or Hill Bourne, >
so-called from the stream which broke
out near where Holborn Bars after
ward stood, and ran down the side OF
the street to the Fleet river. From
the latter, as every one may suppose
Fleet street took it's name. And as 6

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
Growth Of Drug Habit In United States
Alleged TO Be Due to opiates
4, 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 physt
clans prescriptions is the startling
statement made by DR.. L. f. Kebler,
ment Of Agriculture. This statement.
concerning the appalling growth Of
drug addiction in the United States,
was made by DIR. 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
enough in their use of opiates. Their
overindulgepce to their patients, he
said, is creating thousands of drug
users every year.
ut is a very sad thing to say that
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. / 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.. ]. 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
