Even In tho smallest doece, if continued, these opiates cause changes in the func tions and growth of tho cells which aro likely to bocomo permanent, causing imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol or narcotics in later lifo. Nervous diseases, ouch as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying powers aro a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet In thoir infancy. Tho rulo among physicians is that children should never receive opiates in tho smallest doses for mora than a day at a timo, and only then if unavoidable. The administration of Anodynes, Drops. Cordials, Soothing Syrups and other narcotics to children by any but a physician cannot be too strongly decried, and tho druggist should not bo a party to it.

The word "Maru," attached to tho uamo of every Japanese merchant ship and commonly accepted as meaning "ship," has no especial meaning, ac cording to Captain Takeshlma of tho Japanese steamship Hudson Maru, re cently captured and released by a Ger man raider In the South Atlnntlc. Cap tain Takeshlma said that the word Is the survival of a Japanese custom centuries old. He explained the or igin as follows : "There are two opin ions ns to how tho custom originated. One of tho stories Is that In ancient times the Japanese attached 'maru' to tho name of anything highly prized. Tt was first applied to a ship's name nbout 2,000 years ago, when tho Em press Jingo sent an expedition to Korea. She added the word to the name of tho ship that transported tho troops to Korea. Ever since then 'Maru' has been part of tho name of every steamship or sailing vessel. It Is never used with the name of a war ship." Fishing Gazette. We have wrecked to date 150 care.
