PURE BREEDS VERSUS SCRUBS
Mongrel ls Excellent Hustler, but Will
Not and Cannot Make Money
for It's Owner.

The pure-bred animal is not one
that will make good on poor feed and
care. The scrub will beat the pure
bred every time when it comes to
"rustling" its own way. But the scrub
will not and cannot make money for
its owner. And right here is where
the pure bred excels itself.
He has the capacity which the
scrub has not. Give the pure-bred ami
NAL good feed and care, and he will
make money, and do 1t quickly. At
least three crops of pure-bred beef
animals can be turned out ready for
market to every two crops of scrubs
Or grades.
Grades make money for their own
ers sometimes, but the amount and
the quickness with which results are
obtained. are In direct proportion to
the infusion of pure blood, which
makes the grades and better than
scrubs.

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
Growth Of Drug Habit In United States
Alleged to Be Due to Opiates
Ordered In Prescriptions. s5sse

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.ssL. 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 ct 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. Estate
laws are not sewing the public from
the grip OF tho drug habit, and the
American pubic 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 80 per cent. of the CO
caine and morphine manufactured in
this country is used by persons VINO
have formed the habit through doc
tors prescriptions"
Almost simultaneously with DR.. Keb-
ler's address, Dr. ]. A. Patterson, at
Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 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.

Take every precaution to gain the

Sheep dogs in England. Scotland

Feet Of Draft Horses.

No. 1. Hoof showing prominent
frog" unmutlIated "bars," strong
walls and cupped sole.
No. 2. Distortion Of hoof caused by
sc1te founder.
The feet should be lifted quickly and
evenly, and be set down sQuarely and
firmly.
The hoofs should be ample in size,
sound, smooth and, symmetrical in
shape. The hoof Is continuation Of
the skin of the parts above. The
color of the skin decides the color OF
the hoof. Color counts for little, how
ever, if the hoofs are Of poor shape
and texture. The horn should be
slightly cupped, not fiat or bullying;
the frog large, elastic, healthy and
without a deep cleft; the bars promi-
nent. Poor fore feet are one of the
commonest and most serious faults

somewhat rare i'll that game-the
strengthening of wrists. Under the direc-
ton of Coach Sexton a special wrist eX-
ercising apparatus has been set up in the
Hemenway gymnasium al Harvard where
the varsity men practice each afternoon.
The apparatus consists of a pair of
metal grips which, by twisting, raise the
player gradually from the floor When
the operator has reached the highest
point, he descends by twisting the grips
in the opposite direction
BY means of the appliance. the wrists
OF the baseball men are not only
strengthened, but the muscles of the arms
and back are also benefited. DR.. Sexton

SAM CRANE SAYS
THORPE WILL
MAKE GOOD
BY Sam Crane.

TARLIN SPRINGS, TEXAS,
MI Feb. 25.-Jim Thorpe is go
ing to make good with the
Giants. Take this prediction and
paste it in your hat.
The Indian marvel is stinging the
ball and is sticking to the practice
job like good fellow. I look for
him to be a sensation in the Ma
tional league before next October
rolls around.
He seems to be tireless and very
earnest in his desire to grasp all
the points of the game. He Is quick
to learn and is doing as promising
work with the stick and in throw
ing as any man among the re-
cruits. In fact, Jim has stung the
ball harder and farther than any of
the other players, including Larry
Doyle.
The Indian has no little trouble
in fielding ground balls, but he IL
showing improvement daily, He is
evidently determined, if practice
can DO it, to make a success az a
professional ball player. and to my
mind he will accomplish that end.
All of the players take intense in
terest in Jim and his showing, and
they encourage him at every oppor-
tunity by applauding his good work
and jollying him on his poor plays.
He has made himself popular with
his associates already.
Jim caused a sensation among
the natives yesterday by appearing
on the streets in a new spring suit
and wearing his white cap with the
United States shield on it's front.
that he wore in Stockholm as a
member of the United States team.
The Indian shows proudly several
of his medals given him by private
parties. and his especial pride is a
gold watch presented him by his
fellow members Of the Carlisle foot
ball team when he left the school
Jim may go to Denver for cou-
pie Of days to participate in an

will take charge of one of the outer gar

he has always been a good hitter and an
