TERRIBLE ITCHING ON LIMBS

Glen Wilton, Va-"F1ve years ago was in a terrible state of suffering with blotches on my limbs, of the most intense stinging and itching. I could not rest day or night; the itching was so severe that it walked me out of sleep. l could never get full nights rest. I actually scrubbed the very flesh so severely that in a short time the affected places were so sore l could scarcely walk with any ease or comfort. The places were a solid rais- ed up mass. I would scratch the parts until they would bleed. I tried home remedies but got no good: the itching just kept on getting worse. used some salve which simply was no good at all.
 "I happened to see the Cuticura Soap and Ointment advertisement and wrote for free sample. Almost like magic l commenced getting relief. bought 50c box of Cuticura Oint- ment and some Cuticura Soap and I was entirely cured from torment that would be hard to describe" (Signed) W.

FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON
Manuscripts and Works of Popular Writer Unearthed In Samoa and
 Hawaii, by an AdmIrer.

It is learned that a 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 has 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 famed crater of Savaii or the pit of Kilauea in Hawaii; piece of fiction dealing with South Sea life, and a number of smaller verse compositions
 Still another manuscript, a blank verse relation of a well-known legend of Maui, of considerable length, but unfinished, has also come to light, and the enthusiastic admirer of Stevenson feels highly rewarded for his month of effort

 These antis 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 I met at my hotel the other day.
 "As this anti was dining bent for ward and said to him:
 Pardon me, but you are, believe, both an anti-vivisectionist and a vege- tarian?"
 Yes. sir, that is correct he an swered.
 Then, said I. you will probably be shocked to learn that you have just eaten a live caterpillar with your lettuce salad."

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

That 99 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.
 Tt 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 1t 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 99 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.
