San Francisco.-The value Of Cali
fornia's mineral product for 1919
reached total Of well over $91,500..
600, being an increase Of 100000
over the production of 1911, according
TO q bulletin issued by w. II. Storms.
state mineralogist. Great activity has
been evident in the mineral industry
and an increased production will un-
doubtedly be shown in every brancn
with the possible exception Of copper,
owing to the fact that the fume trou-
BILE has not been satisfactorily solved,
but the value of the copper produced
will show a large increase due to the
advanced price received during the
year. Conservative estimate Of the
leading mineral products for 1912 is as
follows: Petroleum, S7,O00,0OO barrels,
valued at $41,000,000: gold. 100000
900; cement. s1O,5OO.O00; copper, $5,-
100000; crushed rock (used for all pur-
poses), $4,000,000; brick of all kinds.
$4,000. 900; borax, $1,5OO.OOO; natural
gas, $1,500,000; quicksilver. $750,O0O;
silver, $75O,000; lime and limestone.
$750,0OO; mineral water, salt and clay

SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK

Kingsley, Mich.-"Last May my
thirteen-months-old baby had a sore
come on her cheek. It started in four
or five small pimples and in two or
three hours time spread to the size of
q silver dollar. 1t spread to her eye.
Then water would run from the pim-
pies and wherever that touched 1t caus-
cd more sores until nearly all one
cheek and up her nostrils were one
solid sore. She was very fretful. She
certainly was terrible looking child,
and nothing seemed to be of any use.
Then got some Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. She tried to rub

would sit and hold her hands for two
hours at a time. trying to give the
medicine a chance to help her. but

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
Growth Of Drug Habit In United states
Alleged to Be Due to Oplates
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
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 DING
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.
"It 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. 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 il
becoming larger and larger year by
year. I have heard It said on reliable
authority that 80 per cent. Of the Co
e., &.
this country is used by persons who
have formed the habit through doo-
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 40
patients who come to an institution
with which he is connected for treat
ment for the drug habit owe their
downfall to physicians prescriptions.
