DRUG MARKET AFFECTED.
European War Brings About Short
age of Imported Drugs.

The ultimate effect on the Unit
ed States of the great European
war is probably a debatable ques-
tion. Whether it will raise or lower
the cost of living here cannot be
foretold. In the drug line, however
it is likely to revolutienize material
medical methods and practices on
this continent. B. F.. Keltz, who
travels out of Webster City over
northern Iowa for one of the big
geSt drug houses in the United
States, has been wired by his COM
pany to quote no prices to anyone
on any drugs. He is further in
structed to ask his customers to
nurse" their stocks and ordelt
in as small quantities as possible,
but under no circumstances is he
to quote prices.
By far the larger parts of drugs
uaed in this country come from
Europe and mostly from the chem
ical laboratories of Germany. Ger
man commerce bids fair to be driv-
en- from the high seas. The increase
in the price of drugs within the
past ten days has been phenomin-
al. Russian suberculin has gone
up 100 per cent. Asperin tablets
at $40 a thousand wholesale as
against s4 last week. Morphine is
up so per cent and is now $3.50 an

Feast of Purim Will
Be Celebrated by the
Jews Throughout City

The annual celebration of the Feast
of Purim will be celebrated tonight
and tomorrow morning in many local
synagogues Several congregations
will postpone their services until Fri
day night, but the majority members
of the Jewish faith in this city will
take part in the celebration tonight.
The rescue of Israel from the de-
struction planned by Haman about
two centuries ago is the event to be
celebrated. Several of the leading
rabbits in this city have compared the
nature of the festival to the Hal
lowe'en celebrations in American
cities. When the Scroll of Esther is
read at the services hundreds of
children, armed with noise making
apparatus, will create a din at the un-
welcome mention of the name of
Haman. Queen Esther. one of the
foremost beauties of her time, is
lauded at every opportunity during
the services. She is credited with
thwarting the dire plots of Hannah.

Panama Canal Tolls
Policy of Pres. Wilson
Is Laid to Railroads

Speakers at the meeting of the Es-
sex Civic League last night severely
criticized the attitude of President
Wilson with regard to the Panama
Canal tolls. The Presidents policy,
said II. K. Stanley, is the result of
his early associations with railroad
men and their sons. The big Ameri-
can railroads, he said, practically die
tated the Wilson canal policy.
He said in part:
THE one who advocates the taxing
of American coastwise vessels by
canal tolls is President Wilson, Let
ms study him q few minutes. As
lcpresident of Princeton he had for
years associates and friends who
were railroad magnates and their
sons. New Jersey is peculiarly a
railroad State. Such has been the
force of this companionship with rail-
road people that it has apparently
tempered the Legislative policy OF
Governor and President Wilson at
many times.
He vetoed the grade crossing bill,
as Governor. In taxation of railroads
his policy was not adverse to these
interests. AS President he fought
bitterly for the Japanese to enter
America. They would be cheap and
hardy railroad workers for the inter-
ests. 1t is said they will work for
thirty cents a day, which would be
pleasing to Western railroads.
And now to the canal tolls What
do they mean? Is it England who
advocates the tolls, or the railroad
interests who want to tax American
vessels? The canal tolls are no more
needed by the railroads than the
extra two cents which the McAdoo
system receive from passengers CO.,
ing from Newark to New York.
II. M. Grosman spoke along the
same lines. The discussion was opened
by brief talk by Nathan Fischbein.
who cited the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
in making his argument In favor of
the Wilsonian policy.

up to the formation of the new repub-
lie.
The lecturer is superintendent Of
the Chinese Guild of st. Bartholo-
news Church, New York. He was Sc
leeted to talk in the synagogue be-
cause of the sympathy he has always
SHOWN with the cause of the Jew.
AFTER the massacre of the Jews at
hishineff, Russia, in 1908, Maine
raised considerable money for the suf-
lerers by benefit performances he
conducted in New York.

Mrs. Gilmore turned in her chair.
whats the matter?" she asked the
child laying her comb on lighted
gas stove beside her as she turned.
No sooner did the comb touch the
stove than it burst into flames. Mrs.
Gilmore's long hair which hung down
her back, passed over the burning .
comb as the woman arose from her
chair. The ends of the hair caught
fire Mrs. Gilmore screamed as ths
crinkling flames cdept up her hair and
vainly tried to beat out the fire with
ner nanuS.
As the woman rushed around the
room seeking something with which
to smother the flames some articles of
clothing which We're hanging from a.
wash line stretched across the kitchen
caught fire. The children, weeping la
fright, toddled from the apartment.
Their screams attracted neighbors,
whao hurried to the Gilmore home.
By the time the neighbors arrived
Mrs. Gilmore had extinguished the
flames in her hair, but had been se-
Verely burned when so doing. The
fiimsy waist she was wearing had
taken fire from her hair, and her arms,
shoulders, neck and face had been
scorched before she could smother the
flames with a blanket. She also had
burned her hands in beating out the
flames. that enveloped the clothing on

Shortly after the arrival of the
neighbors Mrs. Gilmore tainted. She
was still unconscious when Sergeant
