SOUTH WASHINGTON
CITIZENS WANT LIBRARY
Need Expressed for One of the Carnegie
Branches

The South Washington Citizens As
ISOLATION at It's January meeting, held in
the parish hall of Grace Episcopal
Church. last Friday evening, decided to
call a mass meeting of the citizens re-
siding in that section OF the city 10 pre-
pare a petition 10 secure a branch Il
brary for that section, in accordance
with the offer made by Mr. Carnegie.
The subject was discussed at some
length. and Henry A Sanford said he
had been informed by Theodore W
NGyes. president of the public library
board. that ne did not think it vas the
intention TO have the branch Ii aries
located within the city limits, but that
they were to be located in the outlying
districts The Rev CIaudius F. Smith,
rector Of the Epiphany Chapel. 'clsred
that If the people Of the southwest sec
ton of the city wanted one OF the branch
libraries. they should make an etfort to
get it.
II find that the class Of people in that
section of the city IS just the class that
should have one Of the Libraries, because
they labor hard all day. It IS aston
ishfng. and you viii be surprised TO
know OF the amount of reading done by
the young people in that section. The
people in the outlying -Aistrict5, or at
least in good many Of them, are able
10 purchase books.
W. A H. Church offered a motion shat
the association hold under its auspices
a mass meeting to discuss me library
question; upon being put to a vote it
was decided % hold meeting the third
Friday in February. at place 10 lie
named later.
An election was held before adjourn
ing which resulted in the following Of
ficers being CHOSEN James F. SGagesr

In explaining the effect Of those m9ji-
cines, the Health officer said that they
were all eardica deprisants-that IS to
say. they reduced the strength Of the
heart beat and their action was pr'-
martly TO break up the red corpuscles OF
The blood. Dr. Woodward gave an eE-
ample Of the effect Of anttpyrine on a

Woodward said the boy weuld have died.
Two cases of record were cited where
fva-grafu doses Of anUpyrfue produced
coma in adults. one ending in collapse
and death
Dr. Woodward said that there seemed
o be a feeling among druggists that it
was wrong 10 sell these medicines with
out prescriptions. but that competition
in business made such a course neces-
sary. He said that there was large prof
il in these drugs. From phenacetin to
antipyrire, The cost vas from 81 an
ounce to % cents The retail price in
powders. ne thought. would range from
$3.50 to 8 an ounce DR. Woodward
thought the profit might have something
to do with oiling the druggists con
science.
In The District there are stringent
laws against the adulteratiOu or sub
stitution OF such drugs. 1t Is the policy
OF the Health Department TO make tests
Of samples at short intervals. and in that
way 20 keep IL touch with the actions Of
druggists in regard to the sale OF these
medicines. When It is found that one

findings of the department. OF they may
