medical men were not discriminating
enough la their use OF opiates. Their
overindulgence to their patients. he
said, Ia creating thousands of drug
users every year.
1T ID a very sad thing to say that
our physicians are doing the greatest
work In promoting the use of cocaine

the grip OF the drug habit. and the
American public In sinking tighter

During the years of their residence
in indianapolis, while Mr.. Marshall
was governor they INDUCED in no os-
tentation, although they were amply
able to do 50, had they desired.
They lived in a modest house
such as thousands of American
families call home, and the gov
crnor rode daily to the state
house in a street car. The pair were
seldom separated and the governor re-
fused at least one important commits
sion because acceptance meant separa-
tion from his wife for a short time.
This same example will be followed
in the life of the two in the national
capital. They have declared that they
will live within the vice presidents
salary of $4,000 a year. 1t is to be
imagined that they will succeed in this
feat, an example notable for further
occupants of the position. Yet. II they
do, it will hc the first time in many
years that a vice presidential family
has been 50 moderate.
