London, Oct. 23.-Great Britain's

Germans are constructing at kiel

DRUG |NTOX|CAT|ON
INCREASES DEATH RATE
MEDICINE CONSUMPTION HAS IN.
CREASED 9 FOLD WHILE POP
UlATION ONLY DOUBLED.

More than 100000 persons die in the
United States every year from the So
called degenerative diseases, accord
ing to an article just issued by the
federal Public Health Service, and the
indiscriminate consumption of medi-
cines and drugs, without the advice
or prescription of a physician, is re-
ported to be an important factor in
their causation.
The author asserts that the mortali-
ty from diseases Of the heart, liver
and blood vessels has increased more
than 100 per cent during the past
thirty years. This marked increase
in the death rate, from diseases that
are characteristic Of senility, appears
to have been greatest in persons be-
tween the ages of 40 and 60, or from
an economic point of view the period
of life that should be the most produc-
tive. These untimely deaths from de-
, generative diseases constitute an un-
necessary economic loss that should
be guarded against and prevented if
possible.
Tobacco and Narcotics Increase.
Among the many and varied causes
of destructive changes, in the several
organs of the body, intoxications. par.
ticularly by alcoholic beverages, to-
bacco and narcotic drugs, have long
been recognized as playing an impor
tant part. Up to the present time
however, comparatively little atten
tion has been given to the permanent
ly harmful influences of other potent
drugs, the consumption of which, II
this country, is increasing much more
rapidly in proportion than is the popu
lation. Figures in the 18th census o
the United States published in 191,
show that the value of patent medi
cines and druggists preparation

Washington, D. c., Oct. 23.-Fearing
threatened raids by Zeppelins Great
Britain is endeavoring to cut off Ger
many's supply Of oil fuel for aircraft.
English battleships and cruisers are
seizing every cargo OF oil bound for
neutral ports in the vicinity of Ger
many on the theory that the consign-
ments are really destined for the use
of the Kaisers air fleets.
In this undertaking Great Britain
again has collided with the CONNER
cial interests Of the United States, for
nearly ali of the oil is being shipped
from America. The two governments
already are engaged in a controversy
over the seizure of these tank ships.
The British maintain that the ship
zpents OF oil to Danish ports which
already have been seized are in reality
destined for German points, and Will
moi therefore, be permitted to pro
ceed.
Danish Government Negligent.
The British action goes far toward
suggesting that the Danish govern
ment is not as strict as 1t should De

norted here that the British auIhori

u. S. OWNERSHIP
TALK is GROWING
Predict a Great Deal Will Be Learned
on That Subject in Washington
This Winter,

Washington, Nov. 2S.--A great dea
will be heard in Washington this winter
about government ownership. The signs
of growing agitation on this subject have
/ been current for some time.
The recent meeting OF the Nations
| Association of Railway Commissioners
here emphasized the growing feeling fol
government ownership Of the railroads
That association is made up of the va.
rious state railway and public utility
commissioners as well as the members
OF the interstate commerce commission
In great deal of the discussion be-
fore the association and in great deal
more of the informal talk among the
members, it was evident that more Sc
rious thought is being given to the ques-
ton whether railroad regulation by the
federal and state governments is meet
irg the purposes for which it was de-
signed, so far as the public is concerned,
and whether government ownership is
not getting to be much closer at hand
than is generally realized
Selection of Commissioner Clifford
Thorne of Iowa as president of the as
ISOLATION is not without significance in
this respect. Mr.. Thorne is an exponent
OF drastic regulation. At the same time
though he has not fatty committed him
self to government ownership of the rail-
road Dis, he has made it plain he sees adj
vantages in it and feels that unless reg
ulation becomes more successful than it
is the demand for government owner
ship will become too strong to be re-
sisted.
The persistent recommendations from
tie postoffice department, beginning with
Frank II. Hitchcock and continuing with
Postmaster Burleson, in favor of gov.
ownership of the telegraph and
telephone wires are having the effect of
promoting talk on the subject in Wash
ington. Congress will not act on the
government ownership of the wires this
winter unless it should be in an inves-
ticative way, but there will be a 90 ID
deal of discussion of the subject in com
mittees and on the floor
Undeniably, the fact the government
hhs undertaken public ownership of rail
roads in Alaska has had the effect of
giving impetus to government ownership
thought in Congress. Although it was
insisted this was not to be taken as
the government TO a policy
i public ownership. there is no doubt
/ gave much encouragement to the ,dp-
ic ownership adyoca ties.
In the District of Columbia, the pub. |
ic ownership question is up and has a
lose relation to the general situation 4
IS to government ownership. The move
nent TO have the street railways here
,ublicly owned has become, so far as
,engress is concerned, good deal more
han a local problem. Ii is being bitter
v fought by the elements that are hos
lie to public ownership. not so much
,ecause they are concerned over what
ctually happens in Washington, but he
ause they feel it would set what in
heir eyes is a bad example.

Mid Season Styles.

The styles of the past few months
seem to have been turned topsy-turvy to
give us something new for the winter.
The loose, baggy blouse with no shape
whatsoever. and the draped or ruff
fed skirt narrowing down to a
tight binding about the ankles have
given place to the bell shape. We see
close, set-in sleeves and tight fitting
bodices for the most part rather
severe On the other hand, the skirt. set
upon smooth yoke or girdle, flares out
at the top of the boot. In contrast to
the fussy, overturned dresses of last
winter we see costumes Of great sim
plicity with studied effect for length OF
line. Tweeds, homespuns and serges are
used for the serviceable suit. Fur makes
a good trimming. and IL can be applied
in wide bands at the bottom of the skirt,
