MORPHINE AND OTHER DRUGS.

The unrestricted sale Of morphine
and other drugs receives little atten-
4ion from the Randolph Herald and
News in a recent issue as follows
"a morphine fiend nearly slugged
the life out of a leading Waterbury cit

1ngs of the habit. II the truth were

and kindred drugs, we should find rival
Tor strong drink as an instrurnen of

is done to regulate their manufacture
and sale. They are dealt out almost
at the will of the vendors. In some
states there are strict regulations gov
,arning the traffic N narcotic drugs,
but in Vermont it has thus far been
impossible to pass any effective law.

The Vergennes Enterprise comments
-Dn this as follows:
For the most part this is exactly
IN line with the argument We have
made On several occasions, but the por
tion of the article which intimate
that the druggists Of the state are de
sirous Of selling all they can Of these
deadly drugs is, We believe, not called
for. There are many isolated case
where druggists sell indiscriminately
as the law allows them, no matte
whether the customer is known to b.
"a dope" fiend or not. but we beiiev
1hat the general run Of druggists il
this state would be glad to sell thei
wares only on prescription. They ar
not avaricious to the extent of sellin
all the poisons possible regardless o
the effect which they have on the pun
chaser. at least that is the view w
take Of the matter, and we also be
1ieve that the members of the Ve1
nnont Pharmaceutical associstio
would tend to the diminution of sue
sales.
The measure referred to abov
xVnich met a quiet death in tt
house" cannot be construed as mea
ing that the druggists would or d
oppose any law which would regulat
the traffic in morphine, opium, chlora
and other drugs which are used
the dope fiends as st;mulants. The bi
in question included every kind
poison such as, for instance, paregorl
whic should not be included in the il
shat requires physician prescrlptlc
TO procure.
1t is we'll that the bill did meet
quiet death as it would mean an unre
sonable restriction on the drug trad
but to our certain knowledge son
druggists are anxious to be restrict'
to some extent in the sale OF mo
commonly used narcotics.

Let's have a public utility bill, the

DEATH RATE Low
HAS NOT VARIED IN THE
FIVE YEARS LAST PAST
Regardless of % Per Cent Increase
i'm Population, Mortality is
Stationary.

A fact of great importance show
ing the healthfulness of Yakima eli
mate has been discovered in the
death records of the last five years.
Cemetery burial reports disclose
that the deaths during that period
have not varied more than one or
two during the entire period, de-
spite the fact that the population
has increased 25 per cent.
For instance, the only variation
in the number of deaths during the
five years is from 204 to 207 for va
rious years, and 1907 had low
record at that
This means that regardless of the
fact there are hundreds of people
locating in North Yakima annually,
the climate is such that the period
of longevity is we'll sustained.

HELPING CHILDREN
YOUNGSTERS HELP OWN
STREET RAILWAY LINE
Many Hundreds of Dollars Being In
vested for Tots in Traction
Company.

The Yakima Valley Transporta-
zion company is doing little mis-
sionary work by inducing the young
people or their parents to invest
their savings in shares of the COM
pany. The shares will be non-as-
sessable and non-transferable. The
cwner will not have the privilege of
disposing of them until reaching his
or her majority When that time
arrives the youngster will be the
possessor of a first class start, as
there is no way of telling what value
this stock will reach in the next ten
or fifteen years. Each share costs
fifty dollars and can be paid in 20
monthly installments of $3.50 each.
Among the lucky children to have
shares placed to their credit Tues
day were Arthur, Henry and Geral-
dine Coffin Leslie, William and
Herbert Dills; I.enore and May
Schaefer each getting two shares.

These guideposts consist of an iron plaque, about two feet long and a foot high, securely mo-nted O. sturdy posts or fastened to some substantial wall. They are painted in white and blue and show, without any possibility of mistake. not only the commune or township in which they stand, but the next important place in either direc- tion as well as the distances between all the chief points upon that route. Thus you will find, if you are travelling on road which leads to Paris that the name of the metropolis will appear on the signboard. although it may be several hundred kilometers distant.
 In addition to these guideoosts the Touring club of France has put on the chief roads a series of signs and sym bols to indicate to motorists and bi- cyclists what sort of a road they are approaching. The sign "ralentir" which. translated into good United States. means, to 'let up," has caus- ed many motorist who was unfamil- far with the road he was travelling. to slow down and to find shortly after the sign had been passed that it was well that he paid attention to it, be- cause of a steep grade or some abrupt turn.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube is in- flamed you have a Tumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is en- tirely closed. Deafness is the result and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition. hearing will be destroyed tor ever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh. which is nothing but an in- flamed condition of the mucous sur faces.
