It ha3 long been recognized by physicians that one of the greatest Hauls perpetrated on the Ameri can public is the exploitation of the so-called “lithia waters’’—some of •in, moat widely sold of which con tain less lithia than does the water i ( most of the rivers of the United States. Millions of dollars have bee ) expended cn these waters and now ilie United States government, un der the federal Food and Drug Act is spending large sums in an effort to compel the dealers to label their products truthfully, and the dealers re spending still larger sums iu aa (Tort to perpetuate the present lab els. Who is really responsible for the lithia water" delusion "We re gret to have to state,’’ says The Journal of the American Medical eolation, "that it Is chiefly the medical profession. It originated the medical profession; it was founded on some cruio and un scientific experiments and perpet uated by member* of the profession blindly accepting the statements of exploiters of all kinds of waters dubbed Tlthla waters,’ to meet the oemand originally created by physi cians. In a similar way the pro fession Is largely responsible for many of the 'lithia' nostrums which are being foisted on the public as uric acid solvents.' "The medical profession shoull recognise Its part In the origination and perpetuation of such frauds aa tuat of the ‘lithia waters,’ and our medical schools should realize that graduates of to-day in their atti tude on these Important subjects arc often relatively no better off, if in deed they are as well off, as grad uates of two or three decades ago " Every Dotty out California Is wor ried about the Japanese bombard ment of the Cosst which Is sched uled U btgln real soon.

They didn’t punish a Maesachu setts woman sererely for kii'lng a neighbor who slandered her. Dawn here there are a few who might be given a dose of something to quiet their wagging tongues and ‘he com munity profit thereby, The teeth of ninety-fire per cent of the children of Atlanta are de fective and the people of the town admit It. aupposing that one defect ia the mouths of babes will not af fect the tongue capacity when they grow older.

The hearty commendation of the work of Judge Thomas and Judge Park when they are called on to preside over the courts of other ci-- cults than their own gives an Idea of the benefits the people might ex pect from a rotation of superior court Judges. The Southern and Albany circuits are unusually fav ored In their superior court Judges. These men are duly appreciated at home, and the people of their elr- enlta wonld be loth to lend them, hat If we had a rotation system other Judges might see the good work they are doing and follow t>«ir example.—Albany Herald. Examination of the laws which control the sale of opium and cocam In the several etates show that there Is a moat extraordinary lack of uni formity. In many states antinarco tic laws are so comprehensive that were an attempt made to enforce the law literally It would result In the fine or imprisonment of practi cally all the retail druggists. Ou the other hand, there are some states in which the exceptions and provisos to the law ore so numerous as practically to nullify all efforts to control the traffic in narcotic drugs. Although in most of the states there is some legislation which alms to abolish the evil, it Is all of com parativcly recent date, and has not kept pace with the Increase in drug addiction. Lack of federal control resulting in various conflicting stato laws, or mors properly speaking In giving rise to such a diversity of laws that stringency la one state can be overcome by ordering by mall from another state where the laws are less stringent, la undoubtedly the chief reason why our country compares so unfavorably with Euro pean countries In respect to the pre valence of morphln addiction. Since 1860, when the various forms of opium were separately en umerated In the tariff schedule there has been an Increase of 851 per cent. In the Importation and con sumption of all forms of opium, as against an Increase of 133 -per cent. In the population. In the United States during the last ten years there has been an annual Importa tion and consumption of opium of over 400,000 pounds. Austria-Hun gary, with a population of a little less than half of ours, consumes an nually less than one-hundredth '.his amount of opium. Germany with sixty million Inhabitants consumes only about 17.0US pounds annua'ly. while In Italy with thirty-three mil lions there 19 an annual consump tion of cnly about 6,000 pounds. The appalling discrepancy consists in the fact that tho most reliable authorities are agreed that oun- elghtli the amount of opium impor ted into tho United States would amply suffice for the legitimate med ical -needs of our people. This country manufactures Into morphln fully 300,000 pounds of the annual importation, and It is estimated that 80 per cent, of the morphln thus made Is used by victims of the habit When we consider corain, the sit uation is no less alarming. Roller first introduced this drug to tbs medical profession In 18x4. Thirteen yt-ars later was enacted the first leg islation In the Unite! States which strove to prevent tho Indiscriminate sale of the drug. In 1897 Illinois ; assed a law which made it unlaw ful to give or sell any cocaiu or preparation containing rocain in any form, except on prescription of a physician or dentist. The impracti cability of all the legislation since that time is evidenced by the fact that although coraln Is a drug which is utterly useless except in toe hands of the physician or dentist, and should never be proscribed for eontinuos use unler any circum stances even by them, there has nevertheless been such a steady In crease in its use that It is now re liably estimated that its illegitimate use clone exceeds 150,000 ounces every year. A consideration of the evils at tendant on the use of morphln and rocain alone, saya The Journal of the American Medical Association, should tend to convince the most ardent advocate of states' rights that legislation regulating the aale ef all dangeroua habit-forming nar- UI.OSl\(i EXERCISES Yacht 1 Industrial School II ill l>e Held ul Young’s College.

After I had taken the second bottle, I was entirely well I wish every lady, Buffering from womanly trouble, wonld try Cardul. It Is the best medicine I know of.

Atluntiy .May 26—It is pietty gen erally admitted this niornlnf? that uwless the Mg row over the I'hagan case, between Attorney Thomas B. Felder, the police department ani the mayor’s olllce results lu some kind of a clean-up, Atlanta will bo worse off than she was befo:e any of the alleged crookedness was unearth ed. Felder has su«ce?ded in destroy ing a good many people’s confidence In the police department, particular ly the detective end of it. The police department has suc ceeded In destroying a goo 1 many people’s confUence in the honesty of Mr Felder, and the way he was aid ing the prosecution in the Phagan case. • The integrity of Mayor Wood- \tcrd has also been called into ques tion for the first time In that gentle man’s career. Whereat, the somewhat natural tendency of the public to *.hrow up its hands and exclaim, however un justly, “Oh—.they’re all crooked!” Now is these charges and counter- barges can actually establish som* ody’s guilt, and that somebody, ni .natter which side he or they hap 'en to be on, can be canned, out ol office or sent to the pen as the cin cumstances warrant, then Atlanta /111 have been done eome sood.

Atlanta, May, 26.—“The stand ing of the Phagan case has not been effected one lota by this dictograph scandal,” is the statement that comes from officials connected with the solicitor general’s office this We asked the grand jury to In dict Leo M. Frank for the murder. Frank has been indicted. We have evidence which convinces us he com mitted the crime and we bellee it is sufficient to convince a Jury. Leo M. Frank will (go on trial for his life, regardless of how the wrangle betw'eea Felder and the po lice turns out, and we have enough confidence In the justice of Atlanta jurors to believe that tney will ren der a true verdict and that the mur der of little Mary Phagan will be avenged.” TAX NOTICE.

Wylls Smith kill an American by stabbing him to death, in Juarez, ju6t before he was brought back to Atlanta? Ho says he stabbed a nu*n m the stomach, but whether the man was a thug from whom he was trying to defend himself or a detective who was trying to arrest him, is not mile plain. Wylie Smith is now’ locked up la the Fulton county jail, charged with criminally making away with the money of some of his most intimate friends, which had been deposited in a financial institution in which he was un officer. Sin e his incarceration he has writ ten or authorized to be written a sort of dlme-nove’ series of Inter- vs, telling of stirring episodes In his lfyng flight and his alleged career ir. the Mexican rebel army. These thrillers have been featured in Mr. iearst's local newspaper, which is making a sort of hero of the accused m an. The. final Interview, just published as an authentic fact, concludes in the following queer way: I had barely noticed an Ameri can who had taken a seat beside me fin the park at Juarez.) When I got up, he got up. I started to my lit tle room, down a side street, and he fo’l vet'. When I turned a corner, he set upon me, striking me full lu the mouth. Here the scar Is now. I whipped out my dagger and slash ed at him, cutting at his stomach. “He screamed and fled up the streei. The next day Hamilton ar rived.

WHY NOT GET A GUARANTEE? Every Article of Merit Is Sold These Days On a Guarantee—No Guar antee Often Means Poor Quality. There is very little excuse for any P-rson »o claim that he has been “stung" on a purchase. Fifty years ago the buyer had to look out, but today It is unusual to find a mer chant who will not return the money for any article that has proved un satisfactory. An excellent example of this kind of fair dealing is shown by the clean-rut guarantee that the Pea cock-Mash Drug Company given on Dodson’s Liver Tone. These people tell us that any per son who pays 50c for a bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone and doe3 not find It a gentle and most pleasant i tonic, harmless, but sure re liever of constipation and a perfect i substitute for calomel, can Bet his j money back Just as quick as they * 1 car. get It out of the money drawer, j Dodson’s Liver Tone has practi-| r.lly taken the place of calomel. It is absolutely harmless, euro In its action and causes no restriction of; habit or diet.
