BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS Growth of Drug Habit in United State* Alleged to Be Due to Opiate* Ordered in Prescriptions. That 99 per cent, of all the cocaine and morphine manufactured in this country is used by persons who have formed the drug habit through physi cians' prescriptions is the startling statement made by Dr. L. F. Kebler, Chief of the Division of Drugs, Depart ment of Agriculture. This statement, and others, proving that physicians and not “patent” medicines are re sponsible for the appalling growth of drug addiction in the United States was made by Dr. Kebler in an address at Washington, before the American Society for the Study of Alcohol and Narcotics. Dr. Kebler is quoted by Washington papers as having declared that drug using had increased 100 per cent, in the last 40 years, and that American medical men were not discriminating enough in their use of opiates. Their overindulgence to their patients, ha said, is creating thousands of drug users every year. “It is a very sad thing to say that our physicians are doing the greatest work in promoting the use of cocaine and morphine,” said the doctor. “State laws are not saving the public from the grip of the drug habit, and the American public is sinking tighter and tighter into the black abyss of the morphine and cocaine fiend. “The worst of it Is that the impor tation of opium into the country is becoming larger and larger year by yeai. I hato heard it said on reliable authority that 99 per cent, of the co caine- and morphine manufactured in this country is used by persons whff have formed the habit through doc tors’ prescriptions.” Almost simultaneously with Dr. Keb ler's address, Dr. J. A. Patterson, at Grand Rapids. Michigan, in a public statement said that 19 out of every 20 patients who come to an institution with which he is connected for treat ment for 'he drug habit owe their downfall to physicians' prescriptions. WOMAN LIKE. Jinks—Does Mrs. Speedem carry an extensive repair kit when she goes au toing? Blings—No; merely a paper o1 safety-pins. Not Missed. “If a man gets an idea into his head that the community he lives in can not get along without him. the surest cure is for him to take a month's visit somewhere.” remarks E. B. Going ol Osawatomie. “When he comes home he will find that the cow has been milked regu larly during his absence, that the corn has been husked and cribbed Just as well as he could have done it, that the chickens and ducks and pigs didn't stop growing during his ab 3ence, that the regular winter literary society has been organized and is making progress without his august presence, that the roads have been dragged regularly and that eome of his own neighbors didn't even know he had been away. These are just a few of the little things that make a fellow realize he is not so many pota toes to the hill as he thinks he is.— Kansas City Journal. Wanted Slaves for Missouri. On January 27, 1778, Don Bernardo de Galvez, governor of the Spanish province of Louisiana, which included Missouri, petitioned the king of Spain for aid for the settlers along the Mis souri river and Mississippi river in Missouri. "The said inhabitants,” he wrote, "in order to promote the cul ture of these plants (flax and hemp), would desire that the compassion of the king should deign to provide them with negro slaves on credit, for whom they may pay with the crops afore said.” STEADY HAND. A Surgeon’s Hand Should Be the Firm est of All. “For fifteen years I have suffered from insomnia, indigestion and ner vousness as a result of coffee drink ing," said a surgeon the other day (Tea is equally injurious because it contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee). ’ The dyspepsia became so bad that I had to limit myself to one cup al breakfast. Even this caused me tc lose my food soon after I ate it. “All the attendant symptoms of in digestion, such as heart burn, palpita tion, water brash, wakefulness or dis turbed sleep, bad taste in the mouth nervousness, etc., were present to such a degree as to incapacitate me for my practice as a surgeon. “The result of leaving off coffee and drinking Postum was simply mar velous. The change was wrought forthwith, my hand steadied and my normal condition of health was re stored.” Name given upon request Read the famous little book, “The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. “There's a reason." Postum now comes in concentrated powder form, called Instant Postum It is prepared by stirring a level tea spoonful in a cup of hot water, adding sugar to taste, and enough cream to bring the color to golden brown. Instant Postum is convenient; there's no waste; and the flavor is al ways uniform. Sold by grocers—60 cup tin 30 cts., 100-cup tin 50 cts.

School Girl on ‘ Nebraska.” A wee Mississippi school girl, not yet 10 years of age. but who is said to be exceedingly bright for her age, was given a theme to write the other day on “Nebraska.” The little one had been studying about the state in her geography lesson and the things she remembered were put down in such a concise way that her produc tion was sent to the secretary of state with the compliments of the officials of the Mississippi school the little woman attends. Savings Banks Increase. The number of savings banks in the I state has increased since the bank guaranty law went into effect, accord ing to Secretary Royee of the state banking board. There are now twen ty such institutions in Nebraska, all of which are operating, as far as their deposits are concerned, under the protective measure. Work of Chadron School. A total of 4C5 students attended the normal school at Chadron the year past, according to a report filed with the governor by the head of that in stitution. This was a great gain over the previous year and indicates, ac cording to the principal, that the com ing session of the legislature will have to provide for several wants of the school. A new gymnasium and a girls' dormitory are needed, accord ing to the report, and should be look ed after-when the lawmakers make up their budget of appropriations. Commissioner Winnett Sells Farm. Railway Commissioner Winnett, following the example of Governor Aldrich, has sold one of his farms in In Lancaster county. The farm com prises 160 acres. It is situated on Oak creek, west of West Lincoln, and is one of the best farming tracts in the country. Dr. Winnett bought this land in the year 1884 for $40 an acre and recently parted with it for $150 an acre, a total consideratioon of $24,000. Dr. Winnett owns another farm adjoining this one. which is held at a higher figure. 8TATE’S STATISTICS. Standing of Nebraska Compared With Older Commonwealths. Though tenth in population among the twelve states of the middle west, which include Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, the Dakotas, Michigan, "Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and Minnesota, Nebraska i3 third in number of cattle, fifth in number of swihe, fourth in wheat production, fifth in corn pro duction and sixth in oat production. These facts were made public by S. C. Bassett of Gibbon, in an address on Nebraska’s rank, made before the Ne braska Farmers’ congress in Omaha last week. In comparison with the United States in total population, rural popu lation and era, Mr. Bassett offered these figures: . Nebraska has 1.3% of total popula tion, 1.7% of the rural population and 2.5% of the land area, yet Nebraska produces 7% of the corn, 7% of the wheat and 5% of the oats. Nebraska produced five per cent of the entire corn crop of North America, South America, Europe, Africa and Australia. A very remark able showing, asserted Mr. Bassett. That Omaha makes possible the marketing of these crops is urged in favor of the co-operation of the state and metropolis. On account of this gigantic production, Omaha is the sec ond live stock market of the world, the fifth primary grain market and the fifth primary grain market for corn. And Omaha ranks first as a creamery butter producing center, more than 20,000,000 pounds annually being shipped from Omaha. State School Funds. Nebraska's temporary school fund apportioned for the last six months of 1912, amounting to $328,104, will be distributed on the basis of slightly over 87 cents to each child of school age enrolled in the stale. The ag. gregate number of pupils in the state is 375,470. Lancaster county has 21,222 school children and will* get $18,544 of the fund. Douglas, with 42,230 pupils, will receive $30,907. Gage is the third county in school population, having 9,232 pupils, and will be entitled to $8,007. For Referendum Vote. At the sesssion of the executive committee of the teachers' association in Lincoln, it was deeded to send bal lots for the referendum vote to teach ers qualified to vote, on January 15, to require that they be returned by Feb ruary' 3 and to canvas them in Lin coln on February 9. No ballots post marked after February 3 will be counted. Lincoln Firemen Elated. Lincoln firemen are elated over the prospects of getting a double shift system for the department. For sev eral years the men have been work ing to get the single shift system. The new arrangement is a feature of the charter to be submitted to the city council. New Pierce Bank. The Farmers and Merchants bank is a new institution filing with the sec retary of the banking board. The bank is situated in Pierce and is in corporated with a capital stock of $25,000. The officers are M. Inhelder, president; Charles Rehram, vice pres ident, and R. .1. Inhelder, cashier. New Statutes Ready. The new statutes prepared by the codification commit!re and sent out in advance of the regular edition are being delivered, a copy being received at the office of the supreme court clerk? The volume contains 2,15G pages. The introduction shows that since 1800 2,470 laws of a general na ture have been published in the dif ferent statutes. It will now be up to the legislature to ;-'c-ept in whole or part the work of the committee. To Investigate School Children. Because, as they complain in their letter, the heads of several children attending school at the present time resemble “moving picture shows" one district of the state has asked the state superintendent to send a health inspector there at once to make in vestigation of the matter. Milford Soldiers’ Home. At the Milford soldiers’ home, from which the biennial report has been re ceived, there are 148 inmates. Twen ty-eight died during the two-year pe riod just ended. A total of $66,900 is asked for the coming two years, or an increase of about $10,000 over the cost of operation for the two years previous. County Superintendents Meeting. County superintendents of the etafe will hold their annual meeting in Lin coln January 7 and 8. Matters in con nection with the work of these offi cials will be discussed at the gather ing. Finances of State Deposits in state banks decreased in 1912 more than $3,000,000 from September 4 to November 26, reserves fell off about 6 per cent, and loans and discounts increased upwards of $4,200,000 in the same period. Des pite the fact, however, according to Secretary Royse of the state banking board, the record for the entire year I shows the bank rolls of the state were shoved upward perceptibly. Deposits of the state aggregated $82,527,894 on November 26, or about $8,638,000 more than a year previous. Officials on the Carpet. Labor Commissioner Guye and Food Commissioner Hansen were culprits brought on the carpet by the board of secretaries of the state board of health at a meeting held in Lincoln. Both were asked why they had been publishing reports the past few weeks relative to occupational diseases. Fur thermore, the doctors of this board were anxious to devise some means whereby both of the other 3tate of ficials would have less to do with th« sanitation of public buildings and pri vate plants. - TWO FORMER WINDY CITY IDOLS Joe Tinker and Fielder Jones During the recent annual meeting of the American league, held in Chi cago. two players of national fame met by chance and held a "fanning bee.” Tinker, who has signed as manager of the Cincinnati Reds, was for years the star shortstop of the champion Cubs, and Jones, who is now president of the Pacific Northwest league, was manager and center fielder of the White Sox. REDS TO GET STAR PITCHER American League Twirler Part of Price for Release of Chance— Has Three Good Ones. Joe Tinker, who lias signed his con tract as manager of the Cincinnati club, expects to have one of the lead ing pitching staffs in the National league. He now has three high class men in Suggs, Benton and Fromme, and looks for a fourth from the Amer. lean league. The American league executive promised Garry Herrmann a star twirler if he completed the deal ma king Frank Chance a free agent. This was part of the trade. Who the flinger will be that Herr mann is to get from the American Pitcher Fromme. league is not known. President John son has not consented to turn him over immediately, hut will do so be fore the baseball season begins. He Is expected to be a prominent hurler in the younger organization. Herr mann is enthusiastic over the deal, and believes the new twirler will aid Tinker immensely In keeping the Reds at the top of the first division in the National league race. “I felt confident all along that I would secure Tinker,” said Herrmann, "and now that it is all over I believe 1 got the better of the deal. Three of the five players we have released to j the Cubs we couldn't use. We never l had Corridon. we wouldn't have re tained Knisely and Humphries isn’t fast enough for major league company. Mitchell has been a faithful, hard working player in the Reds' employ, but we had to let him go to swing the deal. Phelan, too, is a first-class in ftelder, but, like Mitchell, we were Torced to give him up. 1 will have a star American league pitcher shortly as part of the deal, so I think we have fared very well.” Calvo Signs Contract. Manager Griffith has received the signed contract of Jacinto Calvo. The young Cuban sent a letter to Griff wittten in Spanish. "They did not touch Spanish where I went to school," said the Old Fox. “so I can’t translate the missive. However, as he signed his contract, I guess every thing is all right.” New Minor League. Another minor league is hatching. Western New York and Pennsylvania towns want baseball. Bradford, Mead ville, Greenville, Kane, Warren and Oil City in Pennsylvania and James town, Corning, Hornell and Olean, N. Y., are the towns most prominently mentioned as candidates for berths. Lajoie Going Back? It is rumored that Larry Lajoie had his salary cut. Larry says he is worth as much now as ever. He was getting something around $10,000. Speaker Was Busy Fielder. Tris Speaker was the busiest out fielder in the league. The Red Sox star fly chaser took care of 407 chances. SILVER BELT FOR RUNNERS James E. Sullivan Hits Upon Happy Idea to Maintain Interest in Long Distance Events. Prior to the selection of each Olympic team, distance running jumps suddenly into prominence and then, immediately after the world's championship games are held, interest in this branch of athletic competition seems to die out. Of course distance races are held at a great many track and field meets, but in the majority of instances the fields of runners are more or less mediocre. This means the selection commit tee does not have as many runners, of marked ability, from whom to se lect as it would like, and James E. Sullivan has hit upon a happy idea, which will undoubtedly tend to main tain interest in distance running throughout the winter as well as the summer season. He has discussed the matter with William (Sparrow) Robertson on sev eral occasions, and they have decided that the best way to accomplish this is to offer a silver belt as aperpetual prize, to become the property of the runner who has scored the most points from the time at which the trophy is first competed for, until within about three months or so of the selection of the American Olympic marathon team. The trophy will in all probability be competed for the first time at a set of indoor games to be held at the Sev enty-first Regiment armory, New York, early in February. It will be called the "Sullivan belt.” Larry McLean may wind up with the Cardinals next summer. Connie Mack will increase the price of seats at his park next season. Billy Papke is enjoying himself put ting alleged fighters from France to bed. Art Irwin, the Yankees’ scout, has been appointed business manager of the club. Garry Hermann is some pinochle shark. He also considers himself some swapper. Charlie Frank of the New Orleans club says he is satisfied with the Peli can pitching staff. The Washington Americans will play an exhibition game with the Cin cinnati Reds on March 30. Hans Wagner says he has to play one more year, anyhow, just to win back that batting leadership. Give Ty Cobb Tris Speaker's arm and you will have to look no farther to find the greatest of all time. Bat Nelson admits his skypiece is a bit soiled, but modestly writes col umns about its being in the ring. Manager Mike Kelly is one of the greatest leaders who knows how to get pub'icity out of absolute silence. Harry Gasper, the former Cincin nati pitcher, says he is done with baseball. That’s what they all say. "Old Cy" Young wants to pitch for Atlanta next season. If he does, It will be his twenty-third year on the slab. Larry Cheney of the Cubs holds a pretty fair record. He pitched in 42 games. He started and finished 28 of them. It is reported that the Louisville team of the American association will serve as a farm for the Pittsburg Pirates. "Rip” Hagerman. leading pitcher of the Lincoln club, has been sold to the Portland club of the Pacific Coast league. Already several baseball managers are willing to concede their club is strong enough to finish in the second division. Bat Nelson insists on remaining a human punching bag, in which class Joe Grimm held the undisputed title for years. STUDENTS TO PLAY BASEBALL Illinois Senate Would Permit Col* legians to Receive Coin for Their Prowess on the Diamond. The University of Illinois senate is sued a report of its recommendation* to the western intercollegiate confer ence on the question of amateurism, which recommendations are now be ing considered by the conference board. While the senate did not countenance playing in organized ball or as a regular thing, its stand is that occasional playing on organized teams for money is not wrong. The University of Illinois recom mends the amendment of rule 5 so that it shall read as follows: "A student shall be ineligible to represent his college or university in any intercollegiate athletic contest under the following conditions: “(A)—If he is or has been a mem ber of any team playing under the na tional agreement of professional base ball clubs or has engaged in contests with teams playing under this agree ment. “(B)—If he is or has been a mem ber of any so-called outlaw team. “(C)—If he has played on any team regularly for a salary, so that playing has been his vocation or principal calling for the period of his associa tion with said team. “(D)—If he has ever drawn a salary for nominal service in some alleged employment while his athletic work has been really his main service. “(E)—If he is or has at any time during his college course been a member of any athletic team of any athletic lub. “(F)—If he is receiving or has at any time received compensation as coach, trainer or instructor in physi cal training. “(G)—If in term time he engages in athletic contests as a representa tive of any athletic organization not connected with the college." The University of Illinois also pro poses that in place of an eligibility committee in each university, which passes on eligibility of students in that university, there be created a single committee from the various universities to rule finally upon ques tions of eligibility, and in doing so to enforce the true spirit of amateur ism without regard to trivial infrac tions. CAREER OF ENGLISH FIGHTER Matt Wells, Former Lightweight Champion of Great Britain, Has Had Few Fights. Matt Wells, the former lightweight champion of Great Britain, has prob ably fought fewer battles as a pro fessional than any other fighter who ever held the premiership. From 1904 to 1907 he held the amateur lightweight championship of England. Matt Wells. His first fight as a professional was with Croix, the French welterweight champion. After winning a number of other bouts of minor importance. Wells came to America early in 1310. He engaged in several 'bouts on this side with success, and upon liis re turn to England he defeated Freddie Welsh, the British title holder, in twenty rounds. After winning the championship Wells paid a second visit to America and while here boxed no-decision bouts with Leach Cross, Pal Moore, Dick Hyland, Willie Moody, "Knockout"1 Brown, and Abe Attel. Several weeks ago in London Welsh regained the championship from Wells in a twenty-round con test. Baumgardner Is Speediest. The latest pitcher who has more speed than Walter Johnson is Baum gardner. Inasmuch as Johnson is al ways the standard of comparison for the speedy boys, the suspicion takes hold that after all Johnson has the greatest supply of smoke when it comes to actual facts. Snodgrass and Merkle. “These fellows who are panning Merkle and Snodgrass for their fatal mistakes in the last game of the world’s series are funny to me," says Christy Mathewson. “Next year the same fans will be shouting for Snod grass and Merkle as loud as ever." To Release Comedians. Manager Griffith announces if he can pick up enough youngsters and have the limited allowance of play ers or his team by May 15 he will let out both Nick Altrock and Dutch Schaefer. Harmon's Record. Bob Harmon, the Cardinals' ..wirier, won twelve of the last sixteen games he pitched. The unofficial figures for the season quote him with winning eighteen and losing seventeen. New Kansas City Plant. Plans have been completed for re construction of the Kansas City Amer ican association plant. The seating capacity will be something near 15, 000. Hartsell to Live in Toledo. “Topsy” Hartsell, manager of tho Toledo team, has moved to that city, and says he will live there. DIFFERENT MEAT. Willie—We had the preacher for dinner yesterday.
