Damages for a Sale of Morphine
Is Letter TO the London Lancet

Paris Letter To the London Lancet.
An important decision with reference
to the sale of morphine has recently
been given by the tenth chambre cor
rectionnelle. \ pharmaceutical chem
list. having sold morphine without a med
ical prescription, to student at Nancy
the latter gave it to one of his com.
rades. who as result of taking il con
tracted the morphine habit The father
of the victim then brought an action
for damages against the chemist. who
in his defense said. in the first place
that he was responsible only for his
own action. but not for the action Of
the student who had given the morphine
to his comrade and in the second nIaca
that he had no direct connection with
the injury sustained by the consumer al
morphine. The lower court upheld this
view. but the higher tribunal ordered the
chemist to pay $50 fine and $500 da M
ages, on the ground that a pharmaceuti-
cal chemist who sells poisonous sub
stance without a medical presentation
knows that he is liable for whateye,
misuses may be made of it, either by
the first recipient or by the next nerson
who comes into possession of it.

~HE '.foorwalker" of big. ex.

It's a new-fangled kind OF
a job, the job of barroom floor walker
said he; but we've, come to be a neces-
sitv of the moist business when tina,
bu siness is carried on on a large and
crowded scale. The big cafes, / often
think. must have lost a heap of money
through unpaid checks for drinks be-
fore we were put on the job of herding
the check holders up to the settling
desk.
No it isn't the chaps who try to get
their drinks for nothing that cause
bother for the fioorWalker of bar OF
this sort. It's the chaps who haven't
the least idea in the world Of trying to
evade settling, but simply forget. gen.
orally in their vinous enthusiasm or
something. to dawdle up to the settling
counter with their checks in their
hands.
Quite a few men, to avoid all posi-
bility of forgetting to pay their drink
ing checks. pay them at the settling
desk the minute they get hold of them.
But the majority VI HIGH udIS vi u

around a cafe for hours and get hold
of enough checks to play pinochle
with, they stack the checks up In front
of 'em or twlddle and dog's-ear EN-
around in their hands. or, worse than
all. unconsciously stick them in their
pockets.
Now, that pocket thing is the num-
Der that keeps us In more or less of a
mental lather until all of these uncon-
sctous check holders are out OF the
place.
Some men who stand around for quite
a while in a place Of this sort, meeting

SHOULD NOT BE LOST SIGHT OF.

The advice which Colonel BKby has offered to Chicago, that of taking
advantage Immediately of its natural facilities in the matter of a harbor, if
it wants to continue to enjoy its present prestige is al inland port should
not be lost sight of by the cities of the Calumet region.
Colonel Bixby has predicted that unless Chicago withfa the next year
or two puts aside petty jealousy and personal greed and mites on something
definite in the way of harbor improvements, the city will Don lose ut in
the matter of lake traffic, and will be outsuipped by Gary and Indiana

The Calumet region should ct lose a single opportunity to boon the
harbors already established N its vicinity. If importance eve attached to
a harbor in the past, how much nor does it count for in the face of the
prospective lakestothegulf canal, provided that project a be carried
through.
That the scheme may not prove practicable is conceded, but on the other
hand, there are eminent authorities who declare that it is not only possible
but probable that such a water "a a be established and maintained in
shape for the admission of deep draft lakegong craft. The government has
recently appropriated 100000 for a survey of the project and this survey
is already under way, and it il scarcely likely that this u would have
been appropriated for a wild goose chase.
On the other hand, supposing the lakestotheguf canal is not feasible
