CO. OPERATION IS SOLUTION
Europe Solving Problem Of High Cost
Of Living by Modern Methods Of
Buying and Selling.

We as a nation are no more per-
picked in regard to the high cost of
living than the countries of CONT
mental Europe. In fact, it is a topic Of
discussion throughout the civilized
world. During the last ten years our
population increased 81 per cent. the
farm land increased only per cent.
so that there is naturally an excess
sive demand. The price of potatoes,
for instance. the main article of diet,
advanced in the last decade 111.9 per
cent, the highest of any commodity
on the list. and the other necessities
have increased also. The increased
population has placed a value upon
all farm products before unheard Of.
Economists are warning us to in
crease our production per acre, but
the big item of cost in marketing is in
our system of distribution. which rep
resents so per cent. of the cost to the
consumer, as shown by current mar
ket prices. A vast saving could be
effected for the consumer and the pro-
Queer by a more direct distribution.
This is the only method by which the
high cost of living can be lowered eff

to increase production and get the

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,
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 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 fiend.
The worst of it is that the impor-
tation of opium into the country ia
becoming larger and larger year by
year. / have heard it said on reliable
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.. 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.

THE ART OF CARVING
 SEMEPRECIOUS STONES
Christmas Buyers Should go to Balke's Big Curio Stcre to
 Learn About Cameos.

Intending buyers of Christmas gifts would do well to go to Balke's Big Curio store and look over the stock of cameOs. Those who may not want to buy will find an interesting story of cameo cutting. There is very large variety of three different kinds of Cameos at the big Curio store those cut from the stone which are the best, those cut from shells and those from coral. Some of the cam eos are very old. They were picked up by MT Bake on his last trip through Europe. The antiques are all mounted while some of the others are not. The mounted cameos come in the shapes of brooches, lockets, pen dants and bracelets. There is among them d beautiful combination of the locket and the brooch.
 People who have never given much attention to the subject imagine that the relief and the base are of two parts but that is not the case. For instance, there is one in which the figure is a pure white while the back ground. or base is beautiful green. That cameo was cut out of a stone through which a white vein ran.
 The most beautiful stone cameo in
 
 in Germany, nestled in the mountains along the French frontier. For centur- ies cameo cutting has been the chief industry there and it is so yet to such an extent that Idar controls the worlds markets for semi precious stones as Amsterdam does for diamonds. In some of the shell cameos which come mostly from Italy there is the same striking difference of color be- i tween the relief and the base but in i the coral there can be none
