BLAME PHYSICIANS FOR
GROWTH OF DOPE HABIT
Druggists Say Prescriptions and Not
Patent Medicines the
Cause.~

New York.-Blame for the prev
alence and growth of the morphine
habit was placed ON the shoulders of
physicians. who prescribed the drug,
at a meeting OF druggists here to-
night to protest against the recently
enacted city ordinance prohibiting the
sale at retail Of any preparation con.
tanning morphine or its salts except
upon doctors prescription.
The ordinance is aimed primarily
at paregoric and at stomach remedies,
according to members OF the board of
health who were instrumental in OBJ
tanning its passage. Caswell Mayo,
one of the druggists, said he had
made canvass by mail of several
sanitariums and the replies convinced
him 80 per cent. of the victims Of
drugs formed the habit as result Of
using prescriptions given by physi-
clans and only s per cent. from using
proprietary medicines.

TOO MUCH FOR THE CORPSE

Don't be mean in your offerings
said T. P. O'Connor in plea in New
York for the Irish cause. The Irish
can't stand meanness
No, no; the Irish can't stand mean
ness. Take O'Grady's case You know,
In Ireland, some 60 or 70 years ago,
when a poor family lacked coffin
they made the corpse beg for 1t.
This custom, alasl sometimes led
to imposture. Thus, Thirsty O'Grady
and his friends wanted money badly
once, and O'Grady was assigned to
act the corpse. So they laid him on
bier outside the door and they put
pewter plate beside him for the
pennies.
AS O'Grady lay there, so still, with
closed eyes, an old woman stopped
and dropped sixpence into the plate.
Then she began to take out change.
penny, tuppence, threepence she
took out, and O'Grady couldn't stand
such meanness. Corpse as he was, he
said:
Arrah, now, don't mind the
change Washington Star.
