Shaw's Lecture on Drug Forming Habits. The W. C. T. U. held an interest ing program before a crowded house Tuesday afternoon. After prelimi nary exercises, Dr. Mattie B. Shaw gave her lecture on drug-forming habits. She said 40 per cent of sui cidal deaths were caused from over doses of opium. Morphine .and opium, she stated, have worse effects on those that habitually use either than any other products of the pop py. Together with codeine and hero ine they cause their victims to lose all sense o ljonor and in time become mental and moral wrecks. As users of these drugs will commit almost any crime to obtain them, such drugs should be particularly guarded from public use. Cocaine, derived from the cola leaves, send thousands also of our brightest and best to the. Insane asylum or to early deaths. A Irking for this drug is acquired very quick ly perhaps through the use of a nasal douche, or cough drops, or the deadly cigarette. Quantities of the latter are doped with cocaine, and are all the more dangerous as the smoker thinks he is using plain to bacco. The coal tar preparations, such as phenaticine or antikammia, sometimes form drug habits. These are heart depressants and should never be used without a doctor's ad vice. Many patent medicines were point ed out to be largely composed of alcohol or opium and numbers of them contain cocaine. Dr. Shaw delivered her address in a scholarly manner. It is with re gret we learned it was her last ap pearance before an audience in Ash land. She is endeared to many, A well-rendered duet by Mrs. Slin gerland and Mrs. Childs followed. Attorney McAllister was intro duced and defined the Oregon laws on drugs. He considered the law re garding opium and kindred drugs in sufficient and easily evaded. Port land, it is said, is urging a stronger law be passed at the next legislature, and the women voters of Ashland, at leasthope our constituents will bear this in mind. The cigarette law also is defective and needs attention. Another program that will be in teresting and Instructive is planned in the near future. - Wednesday Afternoon Club. The , Wednesday Afternoon Club gave a most unique entertainment yesterday at Mrs. J. K. Van Sant's home on Oak street, the hostesses being the third.and last of the three committees of twenty ladies each ap pointed last spring by Mrs. .Warner, the president, the plan being that with their united 'effort to secure enough money before the .end of the year to pay off the last of a church debt of $1,500 that the Wednesday club assumed about six years ago. The Ladies' Aid Society pf the Pres byterian church has contributed $210 to the above. Aside from that, the Wednesday club has by constant and faithful effort finally paid the last dollar of that rather large obli gation, and also has a balance on hand of over $20, which is certainly gratifying to all. During the six years past they have often contrib uted to other urgent calls, one being a contribution of $25 to the organ recently purchased for the church principally through.the efforts of the Ladies' Aid Society. The committee of yesterday's do ings had just intended putting on a play as the other two committees have done, but owing to this being the uusy season, decided if each lady of the committee would contribute a dollar the required amount could be secured and the old-fashioned carpet rag social held yesterday was their feeble attempt at an entertainment. There were many Invited guests pres ent who contributed generously to our free-will offering, thereby swell ing our fund to $28.35 for the after noon. All were invited to attend in old fashioned attire and bring their bags of carpet-rags to sew. Many entered into the spirit of the day and came gowned to suit various characters. The spacious rooms were at their best with autumn flowers and foli age. After the audience had gathered the committee in costume began to arrive and were received at the door by the chairman, Flora McFlimsy (Mrs. O. J. Stone), the next arrival being Elizabeth Cady Stanton (Mrs. J. K. Van Sant), Betty Rose (Mrs. E. A. Sherwin) with her niece Rosa mond (Dorris Bagley), Jane Tomp kins (Mrs. H. T. Chisholm), Mrs. Katzenjammer (Mrs. W. H. Day), Mrs. Wiggs (Mrs. W. M. Poley), Lovey Mary (Mrs. Abby Lennart, Samantha Allen (Mrs. H. Barne- burg), Miss Bassett (Miss Amy Ram sey), Jemima Jones (Miss Mabel Russell), Jerusha Jones (Mrs. Otto Winter), Mrs. O'Flannigan (Mrs. A. Schuerman), Dolly Varden (Mrs. Walter Blalock), Priscilla Perkins (W. H. Reynolds), Drusilla Doo- little (Mrs. Judd Miller). The entertainment for the after noon consisted of solos and readings. Jenny Llnd (Mrs. F. E. Conway) sang "Bonnie Sweet Bessie, Maid of Dundee" and "Coming Through the Rye." Auntie Doleful (Mrs. F. E. Ramsay) a reading, "Her Visit to An Invalid Friend," also a darky se lection. Rosamond (Dorris Bagley), solo, "Then You'll Remember Me," Mrs. Stewart Saunders presiding at the piano. Annie Laurie (Frances Hamlin) sang "Nellie Gray" and "Little Boy Blue." (Her pa had her voice trained to the organ, so she couldn't sing to the piano.) Last but not least, Mrs. H. T. Chisholm sang "No One to Love," most touch Ingly rendered. A suitable luncheon was served of gingerbread, doughnuts and apple juice, and all declared It the jolliest time ever. So ends one more success for our ambitious Wednesday club. Special mention should be made of the beautiful costume worn by Mrs. E. A. Sherwin, which was an elegant wedding gown over half a century old. She carried a bead bag seventy five years old, and all needed acces sories were in evidence, making a very quaint and charming picture. A pleasant surprise was received by the ladies at Mrs. Van Sant's Wed nesday afternoon when a small en velope addressed to the club was de livered and found to contain a gen erous check from our good friend, W. H. Day. (He is not a candidate for mayor or any other office.) Many thanks for Mr. Day from the Wednesday Club. To Buy White House of the Confed eracy. Danville, Va., Dec. 3.

From a series of experiments conducted in his psy chological laboratory, Professor Yer kes of Harvard has become convinced that an angle worm can think. Knowing that an angle worm will always crawl out of a lighted place into a dark one, the professor put a worm into a glass dish In which there were two dark holes. The right hand hole was an ordi nary earth cavity. The left one, however, contained an electric bat tery, the object of which was to give the worm a mild shock in case it entered. After e. few trials the worm learned its lesson and could be count ed on always to turn to the right when it was put into the dish, - - f One-Cent Postage. Washington, Dec. 3.
