''Of all the various types OF sanitary

health, few, II any.
Drugs That are as deserving OF
Poison. more m m d late
and careful consid-
Grafton as are the laws which are de-
signed TO prevent acute or chronic
poisonings, accidental or otherwise.
This opinion is expressed by Drs. Mar
tin |. Wilbert and Murray Gait Motter,
OF the United States public health
service, who have just completed and
brought up TO date compilation or
laws and regulations relating TO the
use, sale and manufacture OF poison
Gus and habit-forming drugs.
According TO the two government
physicians the number OF deaths caus-
ed in the United States because or
acute and chronic cases OF poisoning
appears 10 be still increasing, despite
all efforts which are being made in
every section of the country to dis
courage the sale or use OF substances
which may be used as poisons. In a
and Motter they say:
The increase In the number or
deaths from poisoning is perhaps due
largely to the fact that, quite regard
less Of the amount Of legislation exist
ing In this country to protect the
health Of the people against poisons.
little or no attempt is being made
properly TO enforce the same. The
N cif
intrusted with the execution of the
laws, appears to be loath to take an
active part In the enforcement of the
restrictive regulations, and II Is prob
ably due to this fact that so many
impractical laws have found their way
into and remain on the statute books
of several states"
That publicity should not be given
to the specific name OF poison or to a
detailed description OF its action in
case Of poisoning Is the belief OF both
of the governments health experts In
number of states representative
newspapers have joined in the effort
made to check suicides by refusing TO
mention In reports the specific names
OF the substances used either in acci-
dental or deliberate poisonings.
The veritable epidemic of poison
ings by mercuric chloride" says Drs.
Motter and Wilbert, was developed
some months ago by the unfortunate
ly widespread publicity given to an
alleged case Of accidental poisoning
in Georgia. Most people will remem-

American laws require that the pur-

The Aim of the Currency Bill

One will gain a more just view Of the difficult
ties being encountered by Congress in its efforts
to achieve currency reform when he takes a
birdseye view Of the many purposes of the Glass
Owen bill.
Through this much discussed legislation the
administration seeks most Of all to break the
domination of Wall Street. The pyramiding of
credit there for speculative purposes is already
familiar to readers and they will understand
how this serves to throttle a normal industrial
development in the nations at large.
1t also endeavors to make credit more easy
OF access to farmers and small business men. AS
usual thing these seek assistance in certain
special seasons with the result of strngency
through the ineasticity of the present currency
system. When money is most needed it is least
available.
To furnish this elastic currency is. one of the
prime objects Of the new bill. To do this it has
planned to establish our currency system on the
basis of current wealth rather than on the hard
and-fast Government bond issue of 1924, 600, 900
on which the present banking currency is built
1t IS patent that with currency strictly limited
TO an arbitrary amount any unusual demand for
credit will exhaust the market and cause another
1907 panic. It is as if, when the Christmas rush
comes on, the express companies were limited to
the number of wagons in use during the dull
seasons. Goods would pile up at the depots for
lack of facilities of distribution.
AS it is now with a credit system of rigid linn
ltations the abnormal demands of the harvest
season often find no facilities. Crops must be
stored up unused until the farmers secure credit
with which to move them, commodities are
scarce as consequence, and then prices rise at
the very time when supplies are most plentiful
With bank currency system based on actual
current wealth, money and credit can easily keep
pace with the most abnormal developments and
the business man can always keep ahead of the
game.
