THE LEGISLATIVE RECESS.

Some people are decidedly opposed
to the legislature taking a recess un-
der n circumstances, and the sus-
gestfon made by Lieut.. Gov.-elect
Frame that, in accordance with Gus
tom, a recess be taken toward the
middle of the session for visits home,
will be vigorously opposed by those
who believe that the members Of the
assembly should &c to Bismarck with

POISONS AND HABIT.FORMING
DRUGS.

In the health reports issued by the
United States public health service
this week there appears a discussion
and digest of recently enacted state
laws regulating the possession, use,
sale and manufacture of poisons and
habit-forming drugs. With them are
presented a compilation of the laws
and regulations on the subject re-
Gently enacted in 80 states.
This compilation Of laws emphasize
es again the frequently made observa-
ton that the average American has
an abiding confidence in the possible
value of statute law. 1t also sug-
gests that the laws relating to the
manufacture, sale and use Of poisons,
while numerous. are not effecual,
largely because of the inability or un-
willingness Of the proper authorities
to enforce them.
Much Of the difficulty encountered
in enforcing laws relating to poisons
is due to the fact that we have az
yet no popularity acceptable definition
for a poison. Individuals generally
feel that they understand what is
meant by "a poison" but efforts to
satisfactorily limit this meaning have
signally failed. This is so, largely be-
cause of the fact that by far the great
or amount Of the material that may be
classed as poisonous 10 seldom recoE-
nized as being . menace to human
life.
Considerable interest is evidenced ut
tho present time in the discussions on
the need for greater uniformity in
laws relating to the manufacture, sale
and use OF poisons or Of articles that
may contain poisons, and the desir-
ability OF having the various state laws
conform, in their general require
ments n least. to the corresponding
requirements Of federal laws.
It has been pointed out that the
several state food and drug laws,
while following tho same general pat
tern. usually differ to some extent,
and these differences. particularly the
paragraphs relating to the labelling of
preparations. have come to be a con-
tan annoyance to the manufactur-
or. the 3obbsr and the retailer. The
jobber and the retailer are more di-
rectly i~nterssted. as the manufactur-
or, having labelled his products in &C
cordance with the federal law, may
ship them into n state, regardless
of the special requirements Of the
state law, thus making the other
branches of the trade liable in the
event hat the goods do not comply
with the provisions Of the local re-
quirements.
Greater uniformity 10 also desired
IN connection with the laws and reg
ulations designed to restrict the sale
and use Of poisons, and manufacturers
and dealers doing an interstate bust
ness are at tho present time asitating
for the enactment Of a national poison
law which would serve to provide reg
ulations for interstate traffic, and
would also tend to arouse renewed in
terest in the nature and object Of To-
cal laws, and would possibly lead to
their more efficient enforcement.
