A PENDING BILL CARRIES REG

t. the Editor Of The Evening Star:

TT the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Referring to the articles on cocaine pub
lished Friday IN both the news and edi-
tcrial columns, / would say that there is
now a bill bewore both houses of Congress
which, if properly handled, would mitigate
much of the evil cited. This bill is known
in the Senate S. Att, and is entitled
"A bill to regulate the practice of phar-
macy and the sale of poisons in the Dis
trict of Columbia, and for other purposes.
1t has the approval of the Commissioners
of the District, and was the outgrowth of
their suggestions to the board of pharmacy,
by whom the bill prepared. In the
preparation of this bill delegates from both
branches of the local medical societies, Ma
tional College of Pharmacy, District of Co
lumbia Retail Druggists Association and
drug clerks met and worked with the board
of pharmacy, and the result of their joint
efforts was submitted to and approved by
all necessary District authorities and pre-
scented to Congress.
In section IL begins that part that dis
tinctively relates to cocaine, etc. These
sections would bear printing for public
inspection to show that the District of
Columbia through it's officials has done
all in its power to abate the dope habit,
and it remains for Congress to take cog
niZance of the situation and act

The Value of Charcoal.
FEW PEOPLE KNOW HOW USEFUL 1T Is l.
PRESERVING HEALTH AND BEAUTY

FEW PEOPLE KNOW HOW USEFUL 1T is IN
PRESERVING HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal 10 the SAT-
est and most efficient disinfectant and purifier In
nature. but few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleansing pur-
pose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take
of it the better: 1t is not drug at ALL but simply
absorbs the gases and impurities always present
IN the stomach and fntestines and carries them
out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking,
drinking or after eating onions and other odorous
vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and improves the COM
plexion, 1t whtens the teeth and further acts as
natural and eminently safe cathartc.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which collect in
the stomach and bowels 1t disinfects the mouth
and throat from the poison Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In form an
other, but probably the best charcoal and the most
for the money Is In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges:
they are composed Of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal, and other harmless antseptics in tablet
FORM or rather in the Of large pleasant tast-
ing lozenges the charcoal being mixed with honey.
The daily of these lozenges will tell In

better complexion sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty Of 1t is. that possible harm can
result from their continued use, but, ON the con-
trary, great benefit.

of charcoal says: Il advise Stuarts Charcoal Los

President Needham Explains.

In explanation of the bill just introduced
in Congress President Needham of the
university made the following statement to-
day to Star reporter:
1.-The George Washington University has
adopted policy for it's development that
ought to be understood and carefully
studied by all who are interested in the
establishment of a great university at the
national capital. First, the university has
been made a non-sectarian, graduate insti-
tuition. All the educational work carried on
by the university board will be graduate
studies, including the professional depart
ments and research work; the board will
also conduct the examination of students in
the colleges connected with the university.
This may be called the American idea Of
university, one purely for graduate work.
Combined with this there are to be col
leges conducting undergraduate and techni-
cal work These colleges will be educa-
tionally part OF the university system but
financially upon independent foundations
somewhat similar to the colleges at Oxford
and Cambridge in England. To make them
a part of the university the educational
work of the entire system is directed hv
two councils, one the university council
composed of the president, deans. profess
sors and assistant professors of all the de-
partments and colleges, and the presidents
council consisting of the president and
deans of all the departments and colleges
! and head professors of university subjects
THE university council is the legislative
body which determines the standards Of
admission to the courses for the baccalau-
reate and higher degrees; the courses of
study which will be accepted for such de-
grees. and the educational methods to be
employed in undergraduate and graduate
work. together with other educational
questions.
THE presidents council is the executive
council which carries out the policies
adopted by the university council and the
board of trustees. AS the deans of the
colleges and faculties are members Of these
councils the general work in the colleges
will thus be under the control of the coun-
ellis.
Will Not Grant Degrees.
THE colleges will not grant any degrees

COCAINE VIOLATIONS
TWO PERSONS ACCUSED BY DETEC-
TIVE PROCTOR.

Detective Proctor, who has charge of pros
cutions of cases of alleged violations of the
pharmacy law, has caused two arrests to be
made of persons who are accused of having
sold cocaine, or coke" as the victims of
the dope" call it. The arrests grew out Of
the investigation of the complaint made two
days ago by a druggist that sales made in
the manner charged had the effect of reduc-
ing his business Edward Ricketts,, white
and Edward Blanks, colored, were the
rames given by the men who were arrested
yesterday. They were charged with doing
business without license.
1t is alleged that they have been selling
cocaine in the disreputable section of the
city. Ricketts, sells flowers, candies and
peanuts about that section, and, it is all
legged, has done some business in the line of
furnishing men and women the dope"
Their cases have been set for trial in the
Police Court next Tuesday.
The prosecution of persons who peddle the
dangerous article from house to house will
not correct the evil, it is pointed out by the
police. Victims of the unfortunate habit are
able to buy what they want from drug
stores. 1t is an easy matter to purchase 5
or 10 cents worth Of the cocaine, which
brings 1t within reach of the poorer classes.
In addition to the serious damage done in
dividuals who fall victims to the habit, the
police realize that criminals who want to
use the cocaine as knockout drops have
absolutely no trouble in getting the deadly
stuff to use as a murderOuS weapon. 1t was
only yesterday that complaint was made to
the police that man had been "doped' by
the use of a white powder, supposedly CO.
caine. He was deprived of his senses and
left in a building under conditions which
might have landed him in the penitentiary.
Had he been given larger dose he might
have been killed, and then the police would
have had a murder mystery on their hands.
The only way to remedy the matter, po-
liceman remarked this morning, is to have
Congress enact stringent measure respect
ing the conditions under which sales by
druggists may be made.
