Big Traffic in Cocaine

Cocaine is derived from coca, and
is produced chiefly in the Andean
sections of Peru, Chile, Bolivia and
the Argentine Republic. The province
of Yunga, Bolivia, is the chief pro-
Quoting territory, the output aggregat-
ing more than $1,000 10000 annually.
The production is constantly increas-
ing, and it is believed that the total
crop of the South American countries
for the past year exceeds $685. 1000.
Among its addicts it is better known
as SNOW" and some authorities hold
it to be the curse of the Occident.

"NOnbreakabIe Cigars

At Lehigh university, Professors
James Long and Henry Ullman of the
chemistry department have succeeded
in making practically a nonbreakable
cigar. The secret is in the binder
made from tobacco leaf stems, which
are first pulverized and made into a
paper. When used the cigar does not
break easily in the pocket. The idea
will provide for the use of what was
formerly considered waste in the cigar
industry. The cigar makers are al
lowed to use very few chemicals in
their work and n difficulty was to
keep the tobacco stem binder from
tasting like paper.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition they may cause tho other organs
to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of
ambition, are oftentimes
symptoms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..

Health--physical freedom and full

WHAT
Remember the simple laws Of health
which everyone learned in school.
Avoid s~timulants. Avoid the sleepless
hours, upset digestion, warning head
aches, taut nerves and muddy COM
plexions which so often accompany the
use OF the drug caffein.
Caffein is classified as a poison.
Like s~trychnin, it is sometimes given
Nv doctors in cases of heart failure.
The average cup of coffee contains the
usual dose Of caffein administered in
such cases. The alarming foolishness of
taking this poison regularly into the
system is borne out by the frightful
limitation Of health and usefulness as
compared with the length Of life.

Last Day of Chautauqua
Proves to Be Best of All

1t seems to be the unanimous
opinion that ChautauQua this year
was bigger and better in every way
than before. And the last day was
the best day in the opinion of many.
The afternoon was for the most part
devoted to the juniors and their pro-
gram. The Juniors have been re-
hearsing under the direction of thu
Junior Superintendent, after the reg
ular afternoon session had concluded
and they showed the benefits Of their
two days training. They presented
first on their program Mother Goose
rhymes Interestingly acted out. Then
came soma attractive dances by the
Junior girls, followed by serious
of interesting stunts by the junior
boys. After this part of the program
was concluded, the Emerson Winters
company gave an entertainment that
pleased very much. Whistlfng. then
bird calls that initiated the calls on
June day and included robin,
bobolink, chickadee, oriole, and fin.
ally the hooking birds repetition Of
them all, opened this part OF the
program. Then Mr.. Winters gave
reading that inculcated the lesson OF
protection to bird life and Mrs. Win.
tiers told a. bear story. intended fol-

There was humor and a certain de.

general sentiment appears to be that

much worth while.
