CIRCLING RECORD

If John Mears had asked that
trains and boats be held so he
could reach the bedside Of a sick
wife or child, he would have been
CURLY reminded that the liked
movements of transportation can
not be upset for individual needs.
But as he was making sporting
record, the most rigid time table
proved pliable and the most auto
cratic officials friendly.
Thus often the merest paper
baublc counts above TIE most sub
stantial good Of life, il it stands
for the qualities of graf and re-
sourcefulness to which the world
gives its first admiration.
Travelling conditions have chang
ed nightly in the 40 years from
Phineas Fogg, in Verne's pictures
sque whimsical yarn, "Around the
Worldin 80 Days" Verne's pictures
of American railroading in those
days while highly colored, were not
wholly imaginative. In Nevada,
FogR's train was held up three
hours while herd of 10000 buff
aloLs crossed the track. While
passing the Rockies, progress was
blocked by a dangerous bridge.
When the passenger learned that
there were from so to 80 chances
Of getting across alive, they unani-
mously voted to try it. A lurid
conception of American rashne SIS,
though the modern death toll on
our railroads gives it a touch of
realism.
The reduction Of the earth cir
cling record from II days in the
time of Nellie Bly,, in 1890, to
Mear's notch of IS days, is of
course mostly due to the TRANSIT
berian railway The fabulous wealth
Of this silent land Of silver, copL er,
lead, fur and cattle is reserve of
resources on which the rapidly fill
ing sta es of orr union must some
day draw. Mear's time table of to-
day will be the common place of
the business man of some other
generation.

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
a silver dollar. It spread to her eye.
Then water would run from the pim-
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 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 time, trying to give the
medicine a chance to help her, but
after washed 1t with Cuticura Soap
and then put on the Cuticura Oint-
ment they seemed to soothe 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)

Roses In Medicine.

Roses at one time figured prom
inently in the pharmacopoei< Pliny
caves 80 remedies compounded of
rose leaves and petals. Sufferers
from nervous complaints used to seek
relief by sleeping on rose pillows and
one is told that Helogabalus used to
imbibe rose wine as 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
tions, but the Chinese still eat rose

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.
j 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.
1T is a very sad thing to say that
our physicians are doing the greatest
worl, 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.
1.-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 80 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 a public
statement said that 19 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.

refer such questions to q body Of men
who are already convinced of the
worthlessness of proprietary medi-
cines. To give such q body Of men
the unlimited authority to decide
whether our claims for Peruna are
valid or not is manifest violation Of
my constitutional rights.
My claims are based both on cred
liable theoretical grounds and upon
irrefutable statistics. But I am quite
willing to have our claims as to the
composition Of Perura properly and
thoroughly Investigated. and II found
to be false q proper penalty should

HOW TRAVERS WON
GOLF TITLE AGAIN
Confidence His Great Asset.
Scores of Little Account
in Match Play.
BY CHICK" EVANS.

GARDEN CITY, n Y. September s.
Jerome D. Travers is national champion
amateur golfer for the fourth time. He
defeated Mr.. Anderson up in the final
Of the annual tournament Saturday.
Mr.. Anderson, who had played very
good golf in the morning, was not able to
keep up the pace in the later hours of
the day. His game fell off considerably,
while Travers played much better-par
golf or better. The crowd was tremen-
dous. 1t was too large, in fact, for one
to see much of the game.
Mr.. Watson made the presentation and
called on each contestant for a speech.
but neither found speech possible after
so strenuous a week. The players in the
1913 national championship final were not
in their best form, although the play was
sprinkIed with many excellent shots. An
derson was unsteady for the first two
holes, was splendid in the middle Of his
round, and then weakened again toward
the end.
Travers started by taking three puts
on the first green, but thereafter showed
his old skill with his Schenectady. 1t
was noticeable in the morning that An
derson was holding his short puts with
considerable confidence. and that awful
two-foot length had no terrors for him.
Anderson lost two of the first four holes,
and matters looked rather bad for him
until fortune changed. At one time he
was up, but he became bit lax and
lost several holes that would have been
his if his playing had not fallen below
standard. but on the whole the morning
round averaged fairly even. They stop
pes even up, and a great fight was ex-
pected for the afternoon.
The scores for the first nine holes were
not good, considering that most of the
cups were placed in the easiest positions.
However, scores should not be criticised
in match play competitions, for SO many
things enter into the fray. Many players
adapt themselves to their opponents
play and when that is bad they merely
try to do just the least bit better.
That is Travers' way. His confident
air, emphasized by two victories on the
first two holes, passed into a worried ex-
preston, however, as he showed his tee
shots, going to the seventh and eighth,

| Atlanta's victory in the Southern

No less than five of the best players
on the team were Washington cast-offs
Prominent among these are Wellchonce

Many local fans are agitating move
r;ent to bring about a series of games
between TIE Nationals and Pittsburghs
at the close of tho present season. 1t is
argued that inasmuch as Pittsburgh has
never been seen in this city since the
DAYS of the National League the
Pirates would be an attraction here,
while the Nationals would prove good
drawing cards in Pittsburgh.
It is figured that the two teams will
finish in the same position in their re-
spective leagues, both now being third. !!
incidentally it is pointed out that Hans |
Wagner and Walter Johnson would be
rival attractions. |
1t is not likely. however. that the two
clubs will agree to such . series Of
