DRUGGISTS HEAD
SUGGESTS REMEDY
PRESIDENT klLMER SAYS IOWA
NEEDS LAW SIMILAR TO
NEW Works.

Mason City. Aug. 5.-Impelled by
the recent agitation against the sell
ing of dope by Iowa druggists, A. ].
Killmer, president of the Iowa Retail
Druggists association, has explained
tn pharmacists idea In the matter.
Mr.. Killmer advocates the adoption
Of q law that will place physicians
under the same restrictions az phar-
macists.
Every anti-narcotio law on the
Iowa books was passed through the
efforts of the pharmacists Of Iowa and
every one contains the provision that
physicians are exempted" said Mr..
Killmer.
The state board Of pharmacy ID do
ing all In its power to control the
traffic in harmful drugs but are pow
erless to reach the dispensing phystc-
ian who violates the ethics of his pro-
fession by dispensing narcotics to hab-
itual users or by writing prescriptions
for narcotics Unfortunately.
what we need in Iowa Is a law
similar to the Boylan law recently en-.
acted in the state Of New York, which
places the physician under the same
restrictions 40 the pharmacist.
There Ia no question but what dis
reputable physicians as we'll as ais
reputable druggists are to blame, IN
large measure, for the ease with
which narcotics can be obtained. and
It would seem that the powers OF the
board should be increased so as to
enable proper regulations Of the traf'
fic, not for the benefit of the physi.
nj ~ hit
the unfortunate being who has con
tracted the habit.
The Boylan law mentioned above
prohibits the sale of narcotics except
on physicians prescription and re-
Quires that a physician shall not pre-
scribe narcotics except after . physi'
cal examination" and further requires
that a record be kept of the name and
address of q patient to whom he gives
any Of the prescribed drugs and OF the
quantity Of the drug dispensed or ad'
ministered.
ssThe Harrison bill governing the
same subject now before congress Is
being tempered with through what 10
known as the Pomerene amendment,
which proposes to regulate the traftlc
IN narcotics in the hands OF every one
by a physician.
A Proper Step. :.
"A step in the right direction VIII
be the passage by congress OF the
Harrison bill in such form that all
transactions especially between the
distributor Of these drugs and the
consumer, shall be subject to compuF
sorry record keeping, except only the
administration OF them by physicianl
personally to the patient in case o.
emergency.
every reputable physician and phar
macist should be in favor OF this bill
and everybody who realized the neces
sity of such a measure should use his
influence to the end that the anti
narcotic laws, state or federal, should
contain no compromises that will
leave the traffic in narcotics broad
and easy road via prostitutors OF the
medical or pharmaceutical professions
They must be absolutely crook proof

ness OF the United
states patent Office cantinues at its
present rate OF increase. In special
report prepared for Patent Commls-
sioner Thomas Ewing yesterday
much interesting information is made
public AS is generally known, the
United States patent Office Is prac-
ticaIly the only branch OF the govern
ment which Is entirely selfsustaining,
its income received from patent and
trade mark fees and sales OF printed
copies OF patents amounting each

The report made 10 commissioner
Ewing Yesterday showed that on the
second Thursday OF April the office
had total receipts OF more than Sl2-
00O the largest for any single day
since the government began 10 grant
patents in 1896 There have been
days, OF course Mondays or on the
day following holiday. when Two
days receipts were combined rs
one when this amount has been eN-
ceeded. but business for Thursday,
April =. reached the nigh record for
a single days receipts. The report
shows that the patent Office receipts
for the first three months OF this year
were nearly $566.000 against less than
S537 900 for last year March bust
ness was the largest OF any OF the
three months. and the increase prom
lses to continue through the year II
this proves 10 be the case the total
amount OF cash receipts for the year
would be- far in excess OF the record
business for 1912. when the total in
come was $2,1SS,000.
Where is an Interesting story back
OF the figures which show Uncle Sans
increased activities in issuing patents.
When .isgioner shomas Ewing
N,eane ss5rD ofiSe r0>,ssN -, s,.s. ,-s,.s,
felt that long delayed applications
for patents and the operation OF a
time-consuming system of amending
patents were the principal abuses Of
the American patent system. Many
old cases had been delayed by the
applicants for. the patents for a long
time, in some cases az long as Is
years.
One reason for delaying applica.
tions is that on a certain class of pa
tents inventors believe there will be
a greater demand for the article in
future years than there is at the pres
ent time. For this reason everything
possible is done TO protect their idea
after the application has been once
filed and To delay the date OF final
issue OF the patent as long as posi-
Bile. The law allows one year in which
TO make answer to various letters.
Commissioners Ewing found that there
was scientific system of delaying
applications by certain patent attor-
neys using the limit OF time allowed
to make answer 10 letters written
about the patents for which they had
applied.
The number or applications for pa
tents delayed more than five years is
less than 5000 As there are l25 000
applications in the patent office, il can

reports, the number killed was 49,

lace OF the large increase In popula-

Der OF hazards.

er words, II the record OF 1907 had
been maintained IN 1912, instead OF
the country having 1879 men killed
by accidents there would have been
an additional 1876 men killed II
the safety movement had not result
ed In the cutting down OF the accident
death rate.
The army OF persons saved from
death by accident through the coun.
Try as result OF the safety-first idea
according TO government statisticians,
means much more than the figures
indicate. IL means, thcy point out,
besides the saving OF so many lives
the prevention OF the large economic
loss which would have been caused
by the killing OF the working mem
bers OF family. one OF such deaths
usually causing two or five persons
TO become more or less dependent and
a charge upon the community.
The governments active interest in
the safety first movement began in
1908, when Dr. Joseph A. Holmes,

Increase In Patents Breaks All Records

be seen that about per cent OF the
applications have been slowing up
the work OF the office. The fact that
90 per cent OF the applications went
through the office I'm less than i've
years and that the average applica-
ton went through i'm less than
TWO years convinced Commits
sioner Ewing that most of the delays
were due 10 time-consuming tactics OF
the applicants. OF the 81 applications
which he found I'm the office January
/ which were older than 10 years,
he has already reduced the number
by rs. or nearly 20 per cent.
Commissioner Ewing has not been
slow TO let those patent attorneys
know that he does not like this dila-
tory and time-consuming system OF
delaying applications FOR patents. His
expression OF disapproyal has had
the effect OF speeding up dilatory ap-
plicants who have tried to hold back
the time for the final issue or their
patents This cleaning ZIP OF husi-
ness which has been delayed through
no fault OF the men in the patent OF
fee. but because OF the applicants
themselves has resulted in greatly
increased receipts by the office. In
the belief OF Commissioner Ewing II
may become possible, with proper
administration, 70 limit the time dur
ing which an application for patent
may be kept pending in the office 70
less than FIVE years, and perhaps TO
less than three years. The commits
sioncr of patents hopes that the an
nouncement that the patent office
officers dislike the dilatory tactics of
the applicants in delaying the issue
OF PATENTS will be sufficient 10 insure
the speeding up OF the work and the
cutting down OF the list OF delayed
applications. II the announcement rs

consider the propriety and wisdom OF
