HUNTING SITE FOR

 Already two propositions on the southaidc west of Tempe, have been gone over, and propositions from Glen dale. Alhambra, northwest of Phoenix, northeast of Phoenix. west of Phoenix. and as far down as Buckeye have been offered and are now under considcra- tion. Tho matter of location, however. is still unsettled, and propositions if sent in early. will still be considered.
 The new experiment farm will be made one of the best in the United States Part of it viI be used is a demonstration farm, where the farmers of the valley and of the state can gath CT at stated periods and see for them selves how the scientific methods as advocated by the experiment station work out in actual practice.
 It is not to be wondered at that com petition for the location of the farm is rather keen, since the district getting it will have at it's door the most re liable source of information on Ari- zona agriculture in existence. This will tend not only to improve the methods of farming in that district and thus increase the land values. but if will furnish the community with am institu- ton that will become, as the state de vclops, the "one" most sought after pualic utility.

London.-Those who are most fa-

But the stranger who at rare inter
walls, or possibly for the first time in
his life, visits the metropolis, must
often speculate as to the origin of
this or that thoroughfare, or wonder
how some of the curiously-named
streets he passes through came by
/ their names. Since it has always
been the custom in this country to
name the ways OF towns and cities
after somebody or something. one may
be sure that every one of the names
of London streets once had a special
meaning though that meaning has so
much lost its point in the course OF
time, or the original spelling has been
so corrupted that it is now in many
cases practically impossible even TO
conjecture the original purpOrt OF

Many London thoroughfores. like
many country village, probably owe
their names to the existence of some

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
Growth OF Drug Habit in United States
Alleged to Fe Due to Opiates
Ordered in Prescriptions.

That - 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.
DIR. 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 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 who
have formed the habit through doc
tors prescriptions"
Almost simultaneously with DR.. Keb-
lers address, Dr. j. 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.

Both Vows Broken.

Apropos Of the anti-vivisectionists
fight against the Nobel prize award
to DR.. Alexis Carrel of the Rockefel-

said the other day in Jacksonville:
These ants contradict themselves
terribly when they try to prove that
animal research is useless and futile
They just put themselves in the posi-
tion of one Of their number whom
met at my hotel the other day.
"As this anti was dining l bent for
ward and said to him:
Pardon me, but you are, | believe,
both an anti-vivisectionist and vege-
tarian?
Yes, sir, that is correct he an
swered.

be shocked TO learn that you have

The shores of our lakes are well
wooded with oak, birch, elm and bass
wood. The land is broken and roll

from which come rich milk and cream,
good butter, eggs and vegetables. In
the woods wild flowers bloom, and
berries and nuts grow in profusion.
Our lake beaches are of fine white
sand, unusually free from weeds and
water plants Their slopes are so
gradual in most cases that small chill

That it is possible even without
hands to win fame as ain artist has
been proved in several cases, notably
in those of Bertram Hiles and Francois
de Mentholon. When a boy of 5 Mr..
Hiles had the misfortune to lose both
arms through being run over by a
tramcar in Bristol Undaunted by this
terrible handicap, he set. bravely> to
work to cultivate his talent for art,
and succeeded SO well that within two
years he had won a first class certifi-
cate at the Bristol Art schools for free
hand drawing, although he was oblig-
ed to hold his pencil in his mouth. In
later years he achieved considerable
fame as a painter; several Of his can
vases being bought and treasured by
no less exalted a patron than Queen
Victoria.
Francois de Mentholon, who is not
only arrnless, but only possesses one
