Boniface, Manitoba, have issued
a collective letter to the Reverend
Clergy, religious communities and
laity of their respective dioceses
promulgating the DEGREES of the
First Plenary Council of Canada

In it they summarize the principal
matters legislated upon in that
Council, and put into effect its
DEGREES which have been approved
by the Holy See.

CATHOLIC INDIANS.

There are many Indians in

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan

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 a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ONT
ment into the parting with a 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 well to place a 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

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.
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
sverindulgence 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
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 f1end.
The worst of it is that the impor-
tatiOn of opium into the country is
becoming larger and larger year by
year. I 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-
1er's address, DR.. J. 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.

Bombay, misunderstanding J. A
Spender's book, THE Indian Scene"
the London Spectator says:
To those who have not seen India
the descriptive chapters of The In
dian Scene" will be of very great in
terest. Mr.. Spender is content to de-
scribe what he saw in the simplest
way, and by this means gives the read
er a strong sense of the reality OF
what he is told. Nowhere is this done
with more completeness than in the
opening chapter on Bombay. What
strikes him is not the place so much
as the people. Every street swarms
with them, and no half dozen seem
alike" Their color varies from white
to very nearly black, their costume
"from the frock coat TO the loin
cloth" The ear is as much occupied
as the eye, for the slightest transac-
ton appears to require the unlOos4ng
simultaneously of all tongues in a
wide circle of disinterested specta-
tors" The spectator may fiatter him
self after a time that he can tell
Hindue from a Mohammedan. But
this has not taken him far. Either
any one of a dozen different races.
and the Hindu may, according to his
caste, be the most exalted of human
kind or at a depth so low as hardly
to be, or to reckon himself human"
Then there is the contract between
life and death, between the rich Par
see living in his pretentious stone
built house on the seashOre, and the
same man carried, as soon as he has
closed his eyes. to the towers of ST.
lence, with their obscene semicircles
Of vultUres sitting huddled together
on the rims of the two pits waiting for
tueir next meal" And then there is
the fact-more separating races per
haps than any other feature of Indian
life-that into the vast majority of
houses which Ito all outward seeming
might be the homes of European nou-
veauX riches" no European has ever
entered or ever will enter. He must
not see the women who live in them.
When a shattered or curtained car
riage passes him for the first time in
the street, he is told that woman is
inside. and that is his nearest ap-
proach to knowledge of one-haIf of In.
dian life.
When he leaves Bombay Mr.. Spen-
der, does his best to answer the sim
pie question, What does India look
like? Somewhat north of Baroda he
opens the shutters of his sleeping car
riage and at first sees nothing to tell

FLOWERS FOR THE C0RSAGE
Most Favored by Those Who
Lead the Seasons Fashions.

If you'd be quite in the mode this
winter you'll have an assortment of
the new big velvet flowers that, IN
like the real live ones, can be steam
ed fresh when they seem to wilt.
The vogue for somber tones makes
a carefully chosen corsage bouquet
touch of particular Importance. To
be in good taste, the blossom must
always be in season.
Just now it's correct to wear
couple of tawny velvet chrysanthe-
NUNS, or a bouquet of mountain ash
berries. Soon violets will form the
cOrsage bouquet, scented so naturally
that one who isn't very sharp will
take them for the really-truly kind.
The idea of matching the flowers
used to catch the stole with those in
troduced on the hat is also used, but
in this case the corsage bouquet
frankly declares itself artificial. A
water lily in black velvet, with white
satin lining and CLEAN of gold in
the heart of the blossom. is one OF
the favOrite devices in this connec-
ton, while for evening wear the same
flower is we'll to the fore, being used

of the satin or velvet robe, while it
usually masquerades in metal tissue
trimmed with diamonds, as though a
shower of dewdrops had been shaken
lightly over the flowers.
A clump of two or three full blown
water lilies, with a shower of close
shut pendant buds dropping from
them. makes a lovely decoration for
an evening toilet which relies more or
less for its effects upon it's lines.
