INFANTS are peculiarly susceptible to opium and its various rrpiIAT preparations, all of which are narcotic, is well known. ' Even in the em&lleet doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in the functions and growth of the 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 doeing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet la their infancy. The rule among physicians is that children should never receive opiates in tire 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 the signature of Chas. 1L Fletcher, I U M-- UoQifcd Sitaaeti! If Mouth Dry?. Tongue Stiff and a Fierce Thirst? Heres Relief ! !

Historical society has appointed a com mlttee to arrange for the removal of an ancient grist and sawmill In Horsham, built la 1734, to Elmwood park, Norristown. The old mill, not operated for many years, has been offered to the society by Miss Mary Iredell. It was an old relic and the town council of Norristown has slgnfied that If it Is accepted by the historical society and placed In Elmwood park along Stony creek. It would be taken care of by the borough In order that future generations may see how flour was ground and lumber sawed In pioneer days. . It Is the Intention to bring to Norristown, If possible, the large driving wheel, turbine wheel and cob crusher.

Hitherto, except the Canadians, it baa not played th part that might have been expected of it Already the deadly accuracy of American murksmanRhip has taken Its toll of German victims, for the rifle la the favorite weapon of our troops. The reasons for this are several. 'American i a hunter hy tradition. It Is The behi blood been use bis father and grandfather muzzle-loadefore him wou the wilderness with the old Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett anj Kit Carson are all old friends of his. The West is. familiar territory, even though he may never have crossed the Mississippi. For he has read the tales of trappers and hunters and practiced them on a small scale in the woods outside his village. The American is a marksman by training. What hoy has not spent long days In the woods with a gun in his hands? What youth, excepting only some born and reared In the largest cities,a has not come home at Ight in triumph with bag of cottontails? The third reason why Sammy sticks to his rifle In the trenches U that it la the best military arm in the world. , For these three reasons, then because the rifle Is his weapon by tradition and by training, and because the one he carries is the best manufactured our infantryman backs the rifle agnlnst the hand grenade and the bayonet He can use anyd of the three, but for choice give him a clean shot at a moving fpot of gray outlined scar-tor- n against the dun Flanders background of a hill. It has been acknowledged for years that the American regular army, small though It was prior to 1917, Is the finest body of marksmen in any army. Our teams competing at Camp Ferry and at Klslcy against the best shots of Europe and the western hemisphere, proved conclusively that the superiority still rests with as. The United States government has made for its proarmy the most perfect military rifles ever 1903 duced. These are the Springfield model of and the 1917 model, both of which are beyond question better guns thnn those used hy any other army in the world. The cartridges for these weapons are the best now in use. Order have been placed for 2.920,000 rifles. The production now average 30,000 a .week, sufficient to equip three divisions. One billion cartridges bAve been ordered for practice in the training camps. Our manufacture of rifle cartridges excels in amount that of any other country. One firm alone turned out 123,000,000 during one month. The policy of the government has been to appropriate about $13 a year for the rifle practice of each soldier in the army. Target ranges have been built in all parts of the country. These were available not only for the use of the army and the National Guard but also for rifle associations. 1th Germany has not been able to do this. It maintained one a standing army so great ns the by the kaNer in pence times, such fin eppropria-tlowould have Interfered with other plans. If $13 a year had been spent on ammunition for the rifle practice of each man In the German fetanding betarmy and reserve, the Teutons would be far ter shots than they are today. But this gain jcculd be at the expense of the funds necessary for the supply of munitions the general staff was accumulating r gainst the day of need. Frior to the war the German soldier fired only about 12 ball cartridges a year on the range. The rifle ranges In Europe ore few and inferior.
