They begin 10y smoking Oh the sly, an

"resort TO dishonest means 10 obtain

other naughty boys of their kind, and
so they may be led 10 poolrooms, 70

worthy Of both sexes In this way,
Mr.. Towns observes, "thc boy whose
first wrongdoing was the smoking OF
cigarettes, against the wishes of MS
parents. soon becomes the target for all
manner of immoral infuences.' 1t IS
wonderful how many contrive to escape
this dreadful sequence Of events, IN
spite of the corrupting influence Of the
drug.
AS 20 the abuse Of the more powerful
narcotics, Mr. Towns holds that doctors
are mainly responsible. They have
created the "frst and largest" class o.
drug-takers. Some definite statistics 20
support this opinion would be useful.
Il is not borne out by a recent inquiry
at the Philadelphia General Hospital,
where in a series Of 146 cases 1t was
found that only fourteen OF the patients
had acquired the habit from doctors
prescriptions. No general conclusion
can be drawn from so short a series IN
q single hospital, but before accepting
Mr.. Towns's sweeping condemnation OF
the medical profession it would be vel.
10 wait for further evidence. His wild
conclusions about tobacco show him TO
be hot-headed reasoner, and, besides,
he has evidently been unlucky in the
doctors he has met. I'm Edinburgh he
found an alcoholic in the hands of one
who apparently could think of nothing
better than putting his patient IN n
straitjacket and cutting OIL the drinZ.
Nr. Towns would have Us believe that
this incident is fairly indicative OF
the best medical learning of the day,
and that in London, Paris and Berlin
they know no better.
Mr. Towns has been unfortunate in
this respect. For the rest. his book IS
interesting and instructive. and one
cannot but regret his excessive zeal ano
uncontrolled 1uency.

nam we think he is second Luther

asafoetida that all Insects avoid it as
though it were plague, and yet the
cotton is apparently not changed other
wise in the slightest degree. We are
hoping that he has solved the cotton
boil weevil problem by depriving Mr..
Weevil Of his only food
About four years ago. according 10
this planter, Mr.. Harding conceived the
idea of making the cotton bolls unpa-
latable to the weeyl. lie had noticed
that other plants, even those which the
average person could not tell from
cotton in the early stages, would not
be touched by the weevil, which would
devour, however, any cotton plants
in sight.
In Il small section of his backyard
i'm Birmingham, Mr.. Harding set out
n few cotton plants. From the EARL
est stages he. onstantly anointed them
with nux yomica. When the buds APP
reared he sprinkled them with the
drug. so with the blossom. and finally
the bolls Of cotton. At the end of the
season he carefully preserved the seed
from these plants and plantd them the
next spring That sason he pepeated
the work Of the summer before, con
iiruiEg his sprnkling with nuX yOm!ca.
Nhel the seed OF the second crop
sprouted. the tiny plants had decided

sprinklinc whatever, though apparently
this smell was the only change when
had bcca produced.
Then, said the planter, came the big
disappointment. While II was noticed
that all other insects avoided the
plants. there we're no boil wey.is that
far North that season, 50 no test could
be made as TO whether the weeyils

termine what the effect OF the smell is
on the cotton goods. Perhaps il would
have certain advantage where the
cotton was made into sheets in re-
pelling mosquitoes, for instance, but
il would be better to forego those adj
