Habit of Taking Drugs.
From the New York Post.

Besides the abuse of drugs in rheumatism
and it's sad results, another serious abuse
of the same kind was discussed at the ses-
sion of the International medical congress
at Paris This is the present fashion Of
taking laxative medicine in large quantities
and in almost infinite variety. Several dis
tinguished specialists from Germany at
tributed to this habit which Is common in
nearly the whole world. the origin Of sew
eral intestinal affections practically un-
known before our generation and which are
spreading. One of these, a mucco-mem-
branous affection of the intestines, is
most puzzling pathological condition. A
number of physicians attributed the pres
ent prevalence Of constipation, which is
primarily responsible for the new fashions
in laxatives, to an insuffic1ency Of fat in
the modern dietary. The frying pan has
gone out of fashion, to the benefit of di
gestion, but ways and means OF supplying
the fats that used to be consumed with the
fried material have not been forthcoming.
The present generation is distinctly an eat
er of sweets, not of fats, but while the
former supply the heat that would be OBJ
tained from the fats. they do not supply
certain lubricant qualities which are SO i'm
portant for the proper performance OF the
Intestinal functions. The use of the milk
fats-that is, butter and cream as well as
milk itself-was recommended, as this form
Of fat is somewhat delectable. The use OF
the vegetable oils. olive oil and the like. in
larger quantities than at present was also
recommended. 1t was pointed out that the
southern nations have learned to take their
quantum of fats In this way despite their
warmer climate, which makes fat generally
less acceptable as food. 1t was reported

Hecht a Co.'S store Thronged.

The palatiA department stores Of Hecht
& Company, at 513 and 51b 7th street north
west, are DECORATED today with the choicest
outputs Of the capital city's green houses,
and are thronged with shoppers and sight
seers. The firm is conducting its annual
fall opening and in each section Of the big
establishment an elaborate and attractive
display Is being made. Each Of the five
floors has been turned into a garden Of
palms. The dull gray weather outside did
not enter within the hospitable doors, for
brilliant arc lights made everywhere a glo-
rious burst of sunshine
The seasonal openings at Hechts are al
ways considered events in the local mer-
camille world, and justly so. The sound
system and the fair dealings of the firm
have made IL a strength and source of
great Joy to the shoppers of Washington.
Since the Inauguration Of the enterprise here
many years ago 1t has prospered consist
emily. From time to time engagements
have become necessary, and branches into
additional lines have been made to accom-
modate the demands of a growing and con-
slant clientele. The millinery, dress goods
fall gowns and wraps are especially consid-
cred in the opening today, and in these de-
partments the display Is indeed brilliant In
the mems section, and, In fact. throughout
the entire store there Is much to attract and
to admire.
