The Effects of Opiates.
v ^TTMIAT INFANTS are peculiarly susceptible to opium and its various
s<kv | preparations, sdi of wliich are narcotic, is well known. Even in the
I emalteet doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in the func
tions and growth of tho cells which are likely to become permanent, causing
imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol or narcotics in later life.
Nervous diseases, such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying
powers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet
in their infancy. The rule among physicians is that children should never
receive opiates in the smallest doses for more than a day at a time, 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 the druggist should not be a party to it. Children who are ill
need the attention of a physician, and it is nothing less than a crime to
dose them willfully with narcotics.
Castoria contains no narcotics if it bears t
signature of Chas. H. Fletcher.
, Genuine Castoria always bears the signature
“Life-Plant.”

No organs of tlie human body are so

are not performing their functions

('apt. I.indsey Polk, director of a
number of hotels, said recently in
New York:
'‘European hotels, even the best of
them, are inferior to ours. While 1
nils in Paris I saw an advertisement
of a fashionable new hotel, and the
boast the management made was that
it was as good as the best American
hotels, f was pleased with this trib
ute.”
Captain Polk smiled.
“Well,” he resumed, “our ideals are
high. No more hotelkeepers like the
old fellow who complained about his
rummer visitors:
“ ‘You wouldn’t believe the non
sense that is in them. They is al
ways wantin’ a clane tablecloth an’

Life Reduced to Food.
Arthur Bullard, In Harper’s.
By New Year’s day, 191K, the comfort*
able classes of Moscow had lost all their
Illusions about the revolution. They were
bored by our insistent interest in it, and
preferred to discuss ways and means of
gutting more than their share of the
meager food supply. Every one had some
mysterious “method”—just as most In
habitants of the Riviera have a secret
“system”.for beating the bank at Montr
Carlo.
There were two Russian families in
whose houses I knew I could always get u
good dinner. The “system” of the Evalcn
kos was beautifully simple. They had a
good looking servant girl. She was: jgtlc^
methodical and hud worked out a schedule1
for having different soldiers call on her
every night in the week. Instead of choco
late creams, she exacted tribute from
them in fat fowls, suckling pigs and jars
of butter. The Evalenkos lived royally.
The other family—with marvelous bu?:i
ness acumen—had succeeded in trading
fcome useless thing like a munition plant
nr a gold mine for a eigaret factory. And
you could buy anything with eigarets.
They were tlu* most lavish entertainers in
Moscow. * They were not embarrassed if
even four or five guests turned up unex
pectedly at meal hours. Their tabic
groaned under the weight of “improcura
bles”—sugar, eggs, cheese. But their pride
was white bread, really white.
Tt was this very luxury which brought
my dinners with them to an end. On j
evening when there wore only a few
Intimate friends left the hostess explained
how they got it. They bribed the chief
surgeon of a war hospital with eigarets!
There was a still small hoard of while
flour in the hospital, reserved for the sol
diers who had had so much of their stom
achs shot away that they could not digest
black bread. Although every one present
at the dinner would have Insisted upon
being classed as gentlefolk, no one pro
tested at the infamy. But I could not cat
any more of that white bread, i never
went back.
Indifference.
Over my garden
An airplane flew;
But nothing there
Either cared or knew.
Cabbage butterflies
Chased each other;
A young wren cried $
Seeking his mother. \ >
Gay zinnias
With heavy head
Flaunted yellows,
And m&uves, and reds,
A hummingbird,
On the late fakspur,
Never knew what
Went over her.
Crickets chirped.
And a blinking toad
Watched for flies
On the gravel road.
They don’t care
How smart men are— ^
To go through heaven
In a flying car!
To a yellow bee
On a marigold
The adventure
Seems a trifle old.

""Paul Hutchinson, in World Outlook.
As far as I know, there is only one man
in all the United States who deals in quill
toothpicks. He is a Russian Jew, citizen
of the city of New York. Somewhere in
Bohemia he had a factory that took tho
pride of the geese of the then Austro
Hungarian empire and magically trans
formed it into an implement familiar to
many Americans. Then came the war. Thq
man in Fourteenth street knew that it
wouldn’t be long before the transporting
of toothpicks from Bohemia to Broadway
would become an extinct occupation. So
he sent this S. O. S. to the consular serv
ice of the United States; “Where can 1
get more goose quill toothpicks?"
Not long after that the toothpick king
traveled to the east, only to find that his
reply had come frqm a Methodist mission
ary, the Rev. George S. Miner. Mr. Miner
has business ability par excellence, fot
he -has equipped and carried on 117 day
schools in his province without a cent of
appropriation from the missionary board
of his church. “Pa” Miner’s schools am
for poor boys, but ho Is not in the busi
ness of making beggars of his students;
no boy enlists his help who does not show
ambition to help Himself. The toothpick
man saw all this, saw also the unlimited
supplies of goose quills to be found in
China, and straightway turned over the
production end of his business to this mis
sionary end his schoolboys.
In the city of Foochow, Mr. Miner had
built up a large higher primary school,
w'hich is the term used in China for a
school doing the last four years of what
Americans call grammar school work. The
first floor of the dormitory, by ripping out
a few partition* and installing a bit of
picket fence, was turned into a toothpick
factory. I w&s in that factory the other
day. Plenty of room, plenty of light,
plenty of air—and plenty of quills. Thirty
boys eat at long benches, in each right
hand a razor keen knife and a short piece
of wire. With a quick twist the left hand
would hold the quill in proper position;
on© cut, another, a thrust of the wire tc
clear the interior, and the toothpick was
done. The boy I watched had cut 7,20<
the previous day. The factory bad turned
out 110,000.
