PASSING OF THE OPIUM CURSE
China Throwing Off the Thrall of the
Deadly Drug.

Japan. insignificant in size compar red
with China, and supporting a people
of the same race. fought one of the
greatest wars in modern history and
defeated a frst-class power Of Europe
At once China was on fire If Japan
had done this thing. why could not she
do as much. and more? One great
reason was opium Men cannot achieve
glory in the opium dens, and out of
this humiliating consciousness was born
a determination TO be rid of opium. But
though the moral idea has gripped the
Chinese mind and conscience and the de-
sire to share in world progress and power
has been stimulated to a high degree, the
dominant note in the great reform Is a
sense of economic ruin. The best lands
Of the empire have been given to the
poppy. a nom useful, not to say ruinous,
crop. The population has been increasing
and food production decreasins Fam
ines have continued for long periods In
one district. and another district in the
same province with sufficient supply. has
been unable to send relief from lack of
transportation. By the use OF opium the
strength of the people has been Slapped
below the earning capacity in thousands
Of cases. The masses have been he'd In
a hopeless bondage TO the national vice
and the wheels of internal progress have
been clogged. But within the past three
years a thrilling chapter has been written
in which despair has given place to hope
1t is a dazzling account OF one OF those
brilliant onsets by which right, after long
years Of plodding suddenly sweeps on to
victory.
To Iealize the magnitude of China's &C
compI shment. it is necessary to consider
some of the difficulties. which nave oeen

the fields of every province and almost
every district. with thousand walled

FREE AS HIS ANCESTORS.
The Seminole Finds Peace and Happi-
ness in Florida's Everglades.

From the Living Church.
The Seminole is the only Indian today
| who is as free as were his ancestors in
the pre-Coumbian days. If all the world
but the Everglades in Florida were to be
blotted out of existence the latter would
still be enough of a world for the Semi
noles wants and happiness. He Is peace
able and honest and was never worthy
| of the terrible things done him one hun
dreu years ago by the white man when
nearly everybody believed that the ''only
good Indian was a dead Indian"
The tribal religion of the Sem.noles is
far above that Of the other native Indian
tribes. 1t is lacking i'll their revolving
and harsher features. Some of them
have recently become Christians and as
such God is known to them as E-shock-
| e-tom-e-see, while the tribal god is called
the latter better than by the former.
Marriage by wife capture appertains
among the Seminoles. After the parents
of the girl have consented to the marriage
the young sutton sets a roasted wild tur
key or ham of venison at the door of
the maidens home. II this be acceptable
to her the young brave is sure of his
wife, provided he can capture her in a
fair race at the July corn dance or on
some other festive occasion.
After capturing his intended. prep ara
tons are then made for the wedding. The
very simple ceremony involves the bride
groom proceeding in gala attire to the
girls home, there to remain through life
as a member OF her family.
So the Seminoles still live out their
happy life, marrying and giving in mar
| riage, cultivating their crops on the hum
mOcks of the Everglades, dwelling be-
meath the shade of the pine trees. selling
aligators and other skins to the whites,
and in return buying bright calicoes and
| other merchandise brought to the trad
ing post from Fort Myers. The Semi
/ noles now number about 500 souls, and
appear to be gradually increasing

COMMISSIONERS SCORED
BY BOARD OF PHARMACY
Action of District Heads on Matters
Relating to Drug Trade
the Cause.

In submitting its annual report to the
District Commissioners today the board
of pharmacy Of the District made plain
that 1t is dissatisfied with the present
arrangement whereby the Commission
ers act on matters pertaining to the
practice of pharmacy without first re-
ferring them to the board for it's recon-
mendation.
The board had several grievances, and
gave them an airing in the report. 1t
criticised the delay which il claims to
have experienced in obtaining an opinion
from the corporation counsel relative
to action taken by the board in declin-
ing to issue permits to dental supply
houses allowing them to sell poisons.
February q. 1911, according to the re
port, the board requested the opinion,
and again April it called attention 70
the fact that IL had not been rendered.
Certainly sufficient time has elapsed
TO properly consider this matter: we can
not understand why such delay has been
necessary" concludes the report, relat-
ing to this feature of the boards COM
plant.
In expressing dissatisfaction with the
arrangement under which the Commits
sioners act on matters pertaining TO the
practice Of pharmacy without asking the
boards opinion, the amendment to the
law governing the sale Of polsons In the
District. which was proposed by the
Commissioners. is disapproved by the
board The report states that the board
will use every effort TO defeat this
amendment.
According to the board. the amend
ment which is to section eleven Of the
act relating to the sale Of poisons. would
give privileges to dental supply houses
that are not enjoyed by physicians or
pharmacists. This the board is opposed
to.
The report declares that the Commits
sioners' amendment to the poisons act
was forwarded to Congress without the
knowledge Of the board. 1t expresses
the hope that the amendment will be
withdrawn.

together with the vast stretches of coun.
try and the defiles of the mountains where
the blind tiger" lies in wait for his vic.
tim, the task of suppression has been
stupendous The reformers have been
met in places with hoes and pitchforks
and the law has not been enforced with
out bloodshed. The physical difficulties
alone have been such as we who live in a
more highly developed portion OF the
world can scarcely comprehend. China
has few railroads. and in some sections
the worst roads on the globe. Into such
country the reform had to penetrate. II
must not be forgotten also that China is
made up Of twenty-one semi-dependent
provinces, besides dependencies. with a
separate army a separate fiscal system
and different manners and customs. In
such a disjointed federation as this uni
form effort had to be made.

NINE PERSONS TAKING
PASTEUR TREATMENT
Increase in Rabies in District
Presents Problem to
Authorities.

Rabies is again becoming serious
problem In Washington. There are now
nine persons undergoing the Pasteur
| treatm at the hygienic laboratory,
which is attached to the public health
and marine hospital service. This is al
! most as large a number as has been un-
der treatment al any one time since the
laboratory was established three years
ago
| The revival Of rabies in Washington
was sudden There was complete ces-
sation of cases during the winter and
then came a sudden outbreak about the
middle of May Within fortnight there
were eleven cases under treatment and
those now handled by the laboratory
have all come in since the middle of
June.
Chances for Exposure Increase.
to the warm weather There is no con-
nection between rabies and heat as has
been abundantly proved in the past, but
with the warm weather there are more
dogs running around and more children
playing in the street, so the chances for
exposure are increased. Another point
that is made by the psychologists at the
laboratory is that the dog muzzling
order. issued last August to run for a
year. is being almost completely ignored.
This statement is borne out by the
officials of the pound.
The District Commissioners have not
yet officially decided whether they will
renew the muzzng order when it eX
pireS in August. but the authorities say
if the order is not more strngently en-
forced than il is now II will not make
much difference whether it is renewed or
not.
Another Suspected Animal.
There was another specimen of a sus
pected mad dog received by the bureau of
animal industry of the Department of
Agriculture today. This dog had bitten
three members of colored family. and
if the dog proves to have been mad they
will be added to the list undergoing the
PaSteur treatment.
Local physicians say it is great boon
to the population of Washington TO have
government institution here that can
administer this treatment. as II puts the
protection in reach of many persons who
would otherwise have to do without 1t.

SAFE AND SANE CELEBRATION
Only One Case in Court for "Settinl
Off" Fireworks.

just how safe and sane" the Fourth
of July was in Washington was attested
by the fact that Prosecuting Attorney
Gus a. Schuldt had but one case In
which setting off fireworks was charged
in the Police Court today.
The defendant in this case was a young
man arrested last night for exploding
crackers in the street. He forfeited a
collateral of 81.
Officials today declared they think II
rather remarkable that an almost COM
plete cessation of the dangerous practice
of usirg explosives on Independence day
has been attained in the two years the
law has been in force and much COM
mendation of the police for their vigilance
in enforcing the statute has been heard.
