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

1t 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; piece of fiction
dealing with South Sea life, and a
number Of smaller verse compost.

INDOOR PLANTS NEED CARE
Many VIII Do Well In Gas-Lishted
Rooms II They Are JudlclousIy
Selected and Tended.

One of the great secrets in the sue
cessful cultivation Of plants in rooms
is judgment in selecting the right
kinds. as an experiment will soon
show, will do well in gaslighted or
drafty rooms, others will not; SO 1t is
most essential that care should be ex.
ercised in choosing kinds adapted to
both purposes.
Those who have the good fortune to
have their rooms lighted by electricity
need not worry. because all kinds Of
plants will succeed under the latter
conditions.
The best Of all plants to grow in
gas.lighted rooms are the parlor
palms.
There are two distinct kinds Of
these. one which produces very tall
leaves and another OF the dwarf
growth.

leaves sponged at least once week.

Another excellent plant to grow un.

which radiate from central stem and
form a handsome plant As 1t In.
creases In age 1t is. however, apt to
lose Its lower leaves, and hence some
Of its beauty.
The "india.rubber" plant. a brother
OF the fig tree. is another plant which
is admirably adapted for gas-lighted
rooms.
The plant usually grows with sin.

will in few years attain height of
five feet or Six feet. When 1t becomes
too tall the upper part can be clipped.

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
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 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 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 flend.
"The worst Of 1t is that the impor-
tation Of opium into the country il
becoming larger and larger year by
year. I have heard 1t 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.. ]. 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.
