circulation. Their use is a stepping stone to more dope in order to quiet the already outraged nerves and glands.
 Dr. Carleton Simon of New York city. in an address before the Eastern Homeopathic Medical Association, had this to say about substitutes for drugs in the near future:
 T look for the establishment by international agreement of chemical plants where n-ha bit forming sym thetical substances will be prepared. Chemists will prepare for us on a commercial basis synthetical sub stances which will be identical in their chemical construction and in their physical effects as are the prod ucts derived at present from mar cotics and thus make it unprofitable to cultivate the natural products Co., caine and heroin will in a short time be universally made synthetically, as is indigo"

 COMBINING VEAL AND PORK
 Veal and pork can be used together excellently. Veal lacks fat which is supplied by the pork and as both meats require long cooking the result Is very satisfactory
 Breast of Veal
 One breast of veal, 1 pound sausage meat or finely chopped pork. 4 cup rice, tablespoon grated cheese, 1 large onion, i carrot, F small turnip, parsley, thyme, bayeaf, peppercorns, salt and pepper.
 Remove bones and tendons from veal and trim neatly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and spread evenly with pssk. If plain ground pork is used fl should be well seasoned with salt and pepper. Roll veal tightly and bind with stout cord. Put bones and trimmings of veal in kettle, add vege- tables sliced herbs salt and pepper Put roll of meat on top and add water to cover vegetables, but not the meat roll. Cover tightly and simmer two hours Baste the roll frequently with the stock in the kettle and add water as necessary. Remove meat from ket- tie and strain stock. There should be three cups. Boil rice in sslted water for IS minutes Drain and pour over boiling water. Drain. Return stock 10 kettle and bring 10 the boil ing point. When bubbling rapidly add rice and meat and simmer, tight ly covered until stock is absorbed. Remove meat and cut the cord in

"Nhat Arc You Going to

 Mother Graham's explosive com ment that not one of her son-in-la aw family had spoken to him for fffteer years before his recent tragic death interrupted the reading of the lettel from the attorney for the Harrison family only for second or two. Char. aCteristically, it was my mother-in' law herself who first spoke. Lean. ing forward in her chair she spoke ir' ritably to Lillian.
 Well, Mrs, Underwood, what are Let us hear the rest of this precious epistle, Where did you stop"

 Therefore Lillian went on, we are notifying you now that whereas the mothers death was prior to the fathers the law gives to the fathers family the guardianship of the chil- dren and the administration of the estate,a provided no will he left. There is NO record of any will, and we have been informed that though a strenuous and most inhuman effort was made at the hospital to have the dying man sign a will--it was pre- vented by his death
 No Trouble Wanted
 We do not wish any unnecessary trouble" Lillians somewhat throaty contralto continued, and will make none if the children are at once re- stored to our custody. They will be provided with good homes. Each of three brothers will take n boy, while the girl will be given a home with her aunt. We win wait five days for the arrival of the children.

 See to it that you are," Mother Graham said grimly, and then she turned to her daughter. Harriet {! Haven't you anything to say?"
 At the words every pair of eyes Tn the room turned on Harriet Braithwaite, and We saw q stately woman trying hard to crush the emotion which threatened to cast her dignity and self-control to the winds. Her face was working. and at her mothers question she threw out her arms with q sound in her throat as if she were choking. Her husband started toward her, but she waved him back imperatively.

ITO think there can DC Such people Tn the world Do you see what they are planning-to separate those chill dren--each one in a different home T mean house-there is no such thing as a home in that family. They would never know love, they would never know pleasure or any birthright of childhood. Work and just little schooling as the law would permit-that would be the lot of each one Of them"
 She stopped chokingly. and her mothers voice struck in, coolly, tan talizingly insistent.

There were probably lots of Darbots: as for the other details. Europe simply hummed with them. It was not until the evening that it struck me that Madame Scariati. being French, could have fled only to France. Born in the provinces, she would return to her birthplace.
