Cocaine Not Necessary
Once In 10000 Times

The increasing use of narcotics in
all parts of the country, and the con-
sequent bulletins by food and drug
officials, have influenced the depart
ment of agriculture to a decision to
enforce treasury decision 33,456-as
regards the importation of narcotic
drugs-until congress shall enact the
Harrison anti-narcotic bill, or some
similar measure, says The Pharma-
ceutical Era.
The chief chemist of the United
States, DR.. Alsberg, has assured the
legislative committee of the Kings
interpreted by the bureau of chemis-
try as applying to prescriptions; If
rigidly enforced it would regulate the
importation and sale of cocaine, un-
der authority given the secretary of
the treasury under the pure food and
drugs act. By this act the secretary
is given jurisdiction over any article
of food or drugs imported into the
United States, if such food or drugs
are "adulterated or misbranded
within the meaning of the act" or are
otherwise dangerous to the health of
the people of the United States"
DIR. Carl l.. Alsberg, chief of the
Bureau of Chemistry, and DR.. Ly-
man F. Keller, chief of the drug di-
vision, are quoted by the Era, to the
effect that there is not one case in
10000 where an internal dose of such
drug as cocaine is necessary. DR..
Kebler said that ain spite Of this fact,
the United States imports 1902, 300
pounds of coca leaves in a year-half
of the worlds supply which passes
through the Amsterdam market
From these leaves 100000 ounces Of
cocaine are made. l believe an esti-
mate of a million users in this coun-
try is conservative. A large number
are due to the ease with which heroin
a morphine derivative, may be pro-
cured. This drug was practically un-
known when existing drug laws were

she did not seem to mind in the
least.
There were, amongst this large
family of dolls at Kettle-Drum farm,
two lady dolls named Dolly Grey and
Blue-Bell who were very pretty, very
proud and very stylish; and although
they wore real silk dresses every day
and had the finest of ribbons for their
beautiful curls, they always laughed
the loudest whenever a jest was
started about Winona and her bare
feet.
One day Blue Bell said to Winona:
"Why don't you wear shoes and
stockings, Winona? Don't you know
that Prince Charlie thinks it is dis
grace for a doll to go barefoot?
"Oh, does he" answered Winona
trying to speak indifferently; but two
tiny red spots of color burned in each
cheek and her poor little heart began
to go pitapat, for wasn't Prince
Charlie the very handsomest boy-doll
she had ever seen, and didn't all the
other dolls with the exception of
Date who was a rag-doll and there
fore didn't COUNT vie with one an
other for Prince Charles favor!
You see it is considered a great
honor to be noticed by prince, even
among dolls, so small wonder that
Winona was disturbed for she was a
very human doll although she was
Japanese.
Shortly after this the dolls began
to notice that Winona was acting
very strangely towards Prince
Charlie. She never smiled at him as
she used nor gave him coquettish
chances out of the corners of her little
almond shaped eyes, nor spoke to him
unless he spoke first; and she made
it a point to talk to Date, the rag
doll, whenever she had the chance,
which was really very queer, for Date
was big and awkward and always
had dirty face. Of course he was a
good honest doll, all rag-dolls are,
but-he was so dreadfully ugly!
By and by Prince Charlie noticed
Winona's strange behavior, but he
said nothing although he resented it
which was natural for prince to do,
and finally he began to wonder why
she treated him in this unusual way.
Now when a doll begins to wonder
it's a sure sign that something is
going to happen and something did
happen.
Well Dearies this is all | can tell
you about Winona and Prince Charlie
this time, but next week | will tell
more about them.

Now, Riddles, | am going to tell
you a doll story. 1t is called: Vino
mas choice-the story of a japanese
doll.
Winona was a japanese doll with a
queer round face and small beady
black eyes that were bright enough
to belong to a real little geisha girl
Her hair, which was very straight
and black, was coiled on the top of
her head in funny knot; and queer
est of all, Winona didn't wear any
shoes and stockings but went bare
foot all the time.
Now all the other dolls at Kettle
Drum farm (and there was round
dozen at least) made great deal of
fun of Winona on this account They
thought she was very silly to refuse
the pretty slippers which her little
mistress offered to make for her, and
| am sure her little mistress thought
she was very silly too.
But Winona was queer dolly. She
went her own way in spite of the
rudeness of her companions which

In Retrospect
BY Omar w. Russell, CasnOvia

AS we let our minds pass back over
the past centuries, until we halt at
the door of creation, we in mind pic
ture fancy the dawn of light and
darkness, and the creating of life. We
see the splendor of radiant sunshine
glimmering over new green and also
of beautiful moonlight lighting up
the first creating of night. In the
great picture we imagine the great
supreme hand moulding and shaping
the creations Of life and giving them
their place upon the scale Of exist
ance AS the dying embers of the
first day slowly faded and the moon
in its full radiance brought forth the
beauty of the night, it gave to the
world one of the most beautiful pic
lures painted by the divine hand.

among the bright sparkling stars,
lighting up the forest glades, so that
the Pickering shadows cast their

the bird draws the nectar from the
honeysuckle, and the dew descends
and gives moisture to the glories Of
night green. The echo of night
voices penetrate the stiffness that is
so prevalent of night, and light zeph-
yrs blow so gently with a rythm that
is only susceptible of night.
