~ headaches" The bulletin does
not deny the proper use Of these
drugs, acetanilid. antipyrin and
acetpheuetidin. but protests against
their indiscriminate and promiscu-
GUS use by the lsity. The govern
ment investigators report that
whereas there were numerous cases
OF poisoning Immediately following
the advent Of acetanilid as q medi-
cinal agent In 1886. the number de-
creased as physicians became bet.
ter aware Of the toxic properties OF
the drug. But In time the discov
cry OF the drug became commercial
lied. headache cures became more
numerous, and the investigators
find that there has been "a notable
increase Ia the number OF cases of
poisoning and death, which they ex-
plain by the fact that 1.-THE use of

HONOR SEMMES' MEMORY
Public Ceremonies in Honor OF
Confederate Naval Hero.

New Orleans La. despatch. 2Ith.
The Tooth anniversary of the
birthof Admiral RaphaelSemmes,
naval hero of the Confederate
States, was marked with public
ceremonies in the South today.
In honoring the memory Of the
commander of the Sumter and
Alabama, thousands of members
Of Confederate organizations
joined.
In the States in which partici-
patton of the commemorative eX-
ercises was signalized, Maryland.
Alabama and Louisiana took {,
prominent part. In the first
State, Admiral Semmes was born.
In Alabama, at Mobile, he spen:
the larger portion Of his mature
life and cast his fortunes with
that State, when it seeded from
the Union. At that time he was
secretary Of the lighthouse board
at Washington.
1t was from New Orleans that
he fitted up the Sumter and took
her out to do service fer the Con,
federate States. For a short tine,
too, he occupied d chair in the
louisiana Military institute. The
centenary exercises at New Or
leans were elaborate.
