Druggists Say Prescriptions and Not
Patent Medicines the
Cause.
New York.—Blame for the prev- j

habit was placed on the shoulders of
physicians, who prescribed the drug,
at a meeting of druggists here to-
night to protest against the recently
enacted city ordinance prohibiting the
Halo at retail of any preparation con
talning morphine or Its salts except
upon a doctor's prescription.

according to members of the hoard of

taining its passage. Caswell Mayo,
one of the druggists, said he had
made n canvass by mall of several
sanitariums and the replies convinced
him 90 per cent of tho victims of
drugs formed the habit as a result of
using prescriptions given by physl-
cinns and only 8 per cent, from using
proprietary medicines.

Washington—Senator Norris Brown
of Nebraska In a speech before the sen-
ate charged that Senator William Lor-
Imer of Illinois must have known that
his election to the senate by the Illi-
nois legislature was accomplished by
corrupt practice. He held that Sena-
tors Holstlaw and IL.deriek and Rep-
resentatives Lee O Neil Browne,
White. Link. Beckemeyer and Wilson
had been bought to elect Lorimer sen-
ator: that Browne and Speaker Ed-
ward D. Shurtleff of the Illinois house
of representatives were the political
agents of Mr. Lorimer in accomplish-
ing his election, nnd that It was not
possible for the election to have been
brought about under the conditions
1 then existing except by corrupt prac-
tices. Mr. Brown devoted most of his
remarks to an analysis of the testi-
mony which Involved directly the rela-
ions of Lorimer, Shurtleff aud
Browne and the relations of Browne
with his thirty minority followers. Mr.
Brown issued a challenge to obstruc-
tionists that he would hold up appro-
! priation bills unless the senate votes
at this session on the Lorimer case,
the resolution pertaining to the elec-
tion of senators by the people, the bill
to create a permanent tariff board aud
a general service pension bill.
OPINION NOT ALWAYS FINAL
Pretty Safe to Say That Doctors
Diagnosis Was "Away Off"
in This Case.
The pretty daughter of a physician
is engaged to a college student of
whom her father does not altogether
approve. His daughter Is too young
to think of marriage, the doctor as-
serts; the college student is too
young to think of it, likewise. It is
out of the question.
She explained all this to her lover
the other night.
"Father says," she summed It up;
"father says, dear, that I will have to
give you up."
The young man sighed. "Then it's
all over?" he murmured, with gloomy
interrogation. And the girl laughed
and blushed.
"Well." she said, "well, you—you—
know that when the doctor gives you
up that's just the time for you to take
more hope. Isn't it sometimes that
way?"—Reboboth Sunday Herald.
Feminine.
A local ironworker who has been
married a couple of years always de-
i clared that his first son should be
named Mat, after one of his best
friends.
Learning that the ironworker and
his wife had recently been b'essed
with a charming baby, the friend
smiled all over his face when he greet-
ed the father on the street.
"Well," he beamed, "how Is little
Mat?"
"Mat. nothing." answered the fa-
ther; "it's Mattress."—Youngstown
