TRIBUNE DRUG LAW
IS CALLED PERFECT
Mrs. Vanderbilt'S Attorney
Says It Meets Cocaine
Evil Thoroughly.
NEED LIKE MEASURE
FOR OTHER POISONS
Present Effort Is to Compel a
Change in System of Label
ling Containers.

Charles G Bond. OF Coulter & Bond. at
torneys for Mrs. William *. Vanderbilt.
In her war on the drug habit, was in cor
ference with FLOYD Wilmot. assistant Dis
trlct Attorney. Yesterday. regarding new
legislation TO crush out the evil.
Mr.. Bond said that they had reached the
definite conclusion that no Improvement
could be made on The Tribune cocaine
law. since it was perfect, II properly ad-
ministered. in preventing the promiscuous
use OF cocaine. He said that they were
working now chiefly on the line OF OBJ
tanning legislation that should be equally
effective in the case Of morphine, heroln
and their derivatives.
The Tribune cocaine law is as good a
piece Of legislation as We can get for CO.
caine," Mr. Bond said 1T answers every
purpose. But IL would be impractical to
extend II 70 heroin and morphine simply
by inserting these words i'm the law
In fact the law for these drugs must
he along different lines. The point I'm
their case is that they are OF such w
told benefit when properly used that they
can't be restricted as cocaine is
"Our idea is that the cocaine law should
not be altered in any way. AS to the
Boylan law. which provides for compre-
hensive restrictions 10 all drug uses, We
do not feel that ii has much chance OF
passing because Of the opposition OF med
cal and drug organizations. II IS too
restrictive. and has other inherent de-
fects"
Mr.. Bond said that the line the com
mittee was working on now for morphine.
heroin and their derivatives was 10 amend
the labelling law, which, az it now stands,
provides that the containers OF these
drugs shall be marked showing what they
contain. the name OF the seller. quantity
and so forth.
Schedule 4 OF the law applies to habit
forming drugs. II is proposed 10 amend
Il so that the label shall specify also the
person to whom n was sold. his address
and the purpose for which it was to be
used When sold 10 a physician it is pro-
posed to indicate the particular drug by a
number prescribed by the Board oil
Health instead Of by the name.
The purpose of this is so that when a
physician prescribes the use OF a habit
forming drug the patient shall not De
aware Of It's name. and therefore would
not be able to repeat. the dose without
medical advice. The proposed changes
would make IL misdemeanor. with I'M
prisonment In the minimum sentence TOT
any one to have an improperly labelled
drug in his possession. with increasing
penalties for repeated offences
II is argued that possession is easy To
prove. while sale Is more difiicult 10

Mr.. Bond said was 10 work out Ia"

WHITE LEGHoRNs FOR EGGS
Good Strain of Breed With Good
Care and Fed Ration Given Here
with Will Prove Profitable.

By ]. H ELSTON. Caldwell. Idaho.)
The man or woman who has de-
.cided to go into the poultry business
will make no mistake in selecting the
Single Comb White Leghorn, es-
pecially if he wishes to follow the
branch devoted to egg farming, with
the sale of breeding stock and eggs
for Matching.
There is a decided difference in
White Leghorns. Those that are
line-bred for exhibition purposes only,
are seldom the large, hardy, persist
ent layers as those selected and bred
for egg production, but standard
qualifications need not and should not
be neglected even if our aim is
greater production of eggs.
In securing eggs when prices are
high, the housing and feeding plays
an important part. We should have
good warm houses with plenty OF
fresh air, with plenty Of room for
exercise, as busy hen is the one that
fills the egg basket. They are mex
pensive. three sides and roof covered

cULLING MAKES FINE FOWLS
Runeo and Deformed Blrds Should Be
Disposed Of Immediately to Make
Room for Good Ones.

The first great secret in the pro-
,duction Of fine poultry is severe cul-
ling. AS soon as you can distinguish
between the good and tho bad. COM
mence the culling process. The runts
and the deformed, the off-colored and
the disqualified. should be at once dis.
posed Of, so that the room and feed
may not be appropriated by them to
the detriment of the good ones.
Select fowls Of good size, proper
color and correct formation. If the
backs, keels, legs or toes Of any are
crooked or deformed, thrown them out
for the table on the market. If there
are any scrubs, small or feeble ones.
it is best to end their existence.
When you Gull, Gull closely, and re-
tain only such specimens as are rea-
sonably sure to grow right. 1t is only
by such systems Of severe culling
that one can ever hope to breed rea-
sonably uniform specimens Of fancy
poultry.

The American business outlook at the present time is thoroughly encouraging thanks chiefly abuud- ant haryests and rather surprising success ketng them
 The latest reports show total grain production of lS53OoOOOO bushels exceeding by 3O2OOOOOO bushels the harvest of last year Wheat of course, most i'm pressve, with total of S96OOOOoO bushels, and buyer for every bushe of it. less by some ESQ., OOoOOe bushels than the crop of 1912 but cur rent prices make it actually profitable.
 Figured at last weeks quotations the countrys wheat and oats are worth SS4OO OOOOOO which is nearly s7OOOOOOoO moro than last years value With many farmers talking s2 wheat sl and 75 cent oats improbable those figures are, it quito possible that years harvest may net clean billion dollars than last years. That Is ten times as much as our lamented "war tax" and is equn to Che tremendous noemnity that Germany collected from France in the tenyear period after her last war
 No serious difficulty has been experienced in ship ping grain abroad More than 5OOooOoo bushels Of wheat have already been exported foreign orders the delivery of another 5O 1000 900 export surplus of wheat helping to feed the United King dom Belgium France and several other European coun- tries and selling to Brazil, Uruguay and South Africa, which usually supplied the Argentine Thus we paying obligations abroad chiefly with grain rather gold, and thereby rendering our do. nestle finances impregnable.
 The effect the general business situation is ex- cellent General buying Of goods has been above the of late Orders for spring goods in New York and Chicago better than usual, and in lines have never been large Drygoods houses report that they shipping merchandise than they were this time last year Grocery sales better than the average. Very lines show a decrease.
 Manufacturing still lags behind the highly import ant steel industry operating at twohirds of its capacity But manufacturers enthusiastic the prospect of new South American trade, and willing to spend money to get it. When the railroads have their rates definitely adjusted and begin buy supplies in large quantities they must before long manufacturing in general should approach It's normal production.
 All in all the American business situation at this moment is much better than that of any other nation in the world.

SOCIAL CUSTOMS


 Social customs in Germany are very different from those prevailign in the United States. When a man meets a woman on the street he always speaks first The newcomer in a community must make the first call The formal hour is between twelve and one on Sunday or between five and six on any day. Promptly at the end of two weeks a return call is made.
 The visiting cards are large and when a man has titles he uses them all. thus:
 Herr DireEtor Prof Dr Paul Schultz.
 Oberrealschule Potrae Paule.
 DanzigLangfuhr. 44 Haupt Etrasse.
 Tho wife's card would read simply:
 Frau Rosa Schultz.
 After this first cell has been re- turned all social interc0urse stops unless the resident invites the new. comer Co dinner or afternoon coffee, and after this the party call must be made within two weeks, as with us
 When l attended my first dinner party was led to the seat on the couch behind the table. Tea and cakes were being served from small tables and ! thought at first that I had misunderstood che invitation and that it was six o'clock tea, but at seven the double doors leading to the dining room were opened and J was escorted to dinner on the arm of my host and placed at his left, the seat of honor. A bottle of beer and a glass were m front of each plate and red and white wines were in the center of the table. There were usually from four to six courses. often two meat courses were followed by pudding then thin slices of black bread and cheese This was the only bread chat appeared on the table At intervals an through the meal toasts of wine or beer were drunk
 As we rose from Che table at nine o'clock, each guest shook hands with the host and hostess, saying
