London, Feb. 13.—The number of English soldiers and officers who have suffered nervous Dbreakdown more or less approaching Insanity as a result of the strain of war, has shown such increase that some of the leading medical journals are pleading for special consideration and treatment for this class. “Some cases,” says the “are certainly hopeless, but there are good grounds for believing that they may again become useful citi- zens.”” The effects of warfare on the ner- vous system are more marked in the case of officers than in the case of enlisted men, the latter in many cases of “trench insanity” recover- ing “tone” after a continuous sleep o from twenty-four to forty-eight hours.

MARTIAL SCENE TO BE FOUND IN HOLLAND —_— b ~ . (By Assoclated Press.) The Hague, Feb. 13.—Martial scenes without the horrors of war are still as frequent in Holland as in any of the belligerent countries, notwithstanding that the Nether- lands are absolutely neutral. The Dutch army, was, in fact, the first to mobilize and since the beginning of European hostilities the streets of its cities and its country roads have swarmed with armed men proceed - ing to or from their barracks and their manoeuvring grounds. The cafes, the restaurants, the theaters, the clubs and other public gather- ing places are crowded every day: with men in uniform. The cost of all these preparations for the defense of the country against a possible attempt to com - mit @ breach of its determined neu- trality ig borne almost with equa- nimity by the people, as was evi. denced by the over subscription of the recent government®loan. Dimi- nution of trade has followed in the wake of the war outside Dutch boundaries. This has been due principally to the embargo placed on the exportation of various arti. cles and to the difficulty of obtain- ing coal, much of which wag im- ported from Germany, the figures showing that only 264,919 freight cars crossed the Dutch-German frontier last year as compared with 337,268 in 1913. Coal imports were reduced from 125,760 oar loads in 1913 to 98,278 car loads last year. RIGID LAW GOVERNING SALE OF OPIUM MORPHINE, ETC. Jacksonville, Feb. 13.—Hun- dreds of letters are arriving at the office of Hayes H. Lewis, collector of internal revenue, making inquiry about the new laws and regulations concerning the productioo, importa- tion, manufacture, compounding, sale, dispensing or giving away of oplum or coca leaves, their salts, de- rivatives or preparations. Most of these inquiries are coming in from the smaller druggists of the State who appear to be under the impres-| sion that an order for the drugs can be filled if made out on the federal international revenue blank which cost a tax of one cent. Such is not the case. These drugs can be sold by druggists and apothecaries only on a physician’s original prescrip- tion, or on origina] orders issued to persons who have duly re;ds!ered.‘ Re-filling of prescriptions or odeul calling for these drugs must in all cases be procured from the collector of the district by persons using them, but no requisitions for the blanks will be accepted by the col. lectors unless made by persons who have duly registered, and have pald the special tax of $1 per year as re~ quired by law. The collector must be satisfied in all cases that the blanks are to be used for lawful purposes. Every physiclan, dentist and veterinary sungeon must supply himself with a suitable blank book in which to keep a recora ofhi s pre- scriptions. A record of all such drugs dispensed or distributed shall be shown. The date when drug is dispensed or distributea. The kind | and quantity dispensed and distrit. ute in each case. The name and residence of the patient to whom such drug was dispensed or distri- buted. POULTRY THINNING OUT Chirago, Feb. 12—Poultry keep. ers generally are culling their flocks closely this fall. This is apparent by the state of the poutry markets of the large cities. There seems to be an over supply of old hens, es- pecially those in poor condition. Feed is exceptionally high this fall, and with the European war in prog- ress is apt to remain so or go still higher. Poultry keepers have been shipping their stock to market 1ib- erally, and much of it has had no preparation, going direct from the range of the laying house. This means that the price of eggs will remain high during the spring and coming summer and fall, when the price for poultry will have greatly advanced because of the | scareity. their husbands. It is reported that many Chicago women failed to register last week because they had to tell their ages. TELEGRAM BOOST-REMEMBER THAT SATAN STA LEADER IN NAVY SOCIAL CIRCLES AMERICA'S NOTE T0 .

CROWDS POURING INTO TAMPA FOR CARNYAL Tampa, Feb. 13.—With all trains out of New York, Chicago, Louis- ville and other points east of the Mississippi running with extra coaches or extra sections since the low round-trip tickets to Tampa in honor of the Gasparilla Carnival went on sale on Wednesday, the ninth, record breaking crowds were brought into Tampa yesterday to at. tend the Carnival. Never have such crowds been seen in the city before, and all visitors are being taken care of to excellent advantage. On Monday and Tuesday the at- tendance will be increased. Mon~ day is “Gasparilla Day,” on which Gasparilla and his pirate crew at. tack the city, and Tuesday is “Cit. rus Fruit” day, which will close the festival. The parade of the closinz day will be the largest and most novel ever seen in the South out- side of New Orleans.
