THE GROWING SALE
and use OF Po|SONS.
The Harmful Effect of Popular
izing Any One Given Drug
and the Difficulties in Legis-
lating Against the Use of
Poisons.

The United States Public Health
Service calls attention in the Health
Reports of this week to the need for
restricting the sale of poisonous drugs
Considerable difficulty is encountered
when an attempt is made to define
what is popularity referred to as a
poison. The hopelessness of the task
is evidenced by the frequently made
assertion that an article that is not
food is a drug and that all drugs
are poisons and differ in activity only
in degree.
Commenting on the possibly harm
full influences resulting from popu-
larizing any one given substance as
a poison, attention Is called to the
marked increase in the number of
suicides by the use of corrosive mer-
curic chloride in the city of St. Louis
during the year 19131914. The sudden
increase is asserted to be directly due
to the suggestion offered to the NOR
bidly inclined by hearing of instances
in which the drug had been used by
suicides. Each suicide is usually fol-
lowed by others.
The underlying object of legislation
to control the sale and use of poisons
is the protection of the public. Special
legislation to discourage the abuse OF
! any one poison should not be encour-
| aged. 1t is practically impossible to
make poison regulations fool proof
and it is equally difficult to dissuade
the person bent on self destruction
from accomplishing lis end
However, CONSISTENT and persistent
enforcement of existing laws to re-
strict the sale of poisons should &C
far toward restricting the abuse OF
poisons The State laws are practi-
cally all different. Hardly any tive
are at all familiar.
1t is suggested that much of the
difficulty of controlling the sale of pol
sons might be overcome by the enact
ment of a national poison law or
which food and drug officials, the pos
tai authorities, the producer, the deal
er and the consumer alike could rely
for guidance and. which because o.
this fact would go far toward bringing
about an effective enforcement of the
State laws designed to restrict the salt
and use of the more actively poisonous
drugs in various parts of the country
1t is also pointed out that dealers do.

A Boom for skowhesan.

The industrial uncertainty that
seemed to exist in Skowhegan for two
years past has gone and indications
are that this town for the next few
years is to have a boom in building
and industrial activities equal to that
of about 1880 when the Anderson mill
was built. The business men feel
this boom and real estate owners are
realizing it and building is going on
both in the residential and business
sections.
One of the most important build
ings that is now IN the process of
construction is the, Dodge Block,

oBsEoU1Es OF THE "KNoCKER."

Paterson's unique public ceremony the burial of

Paterson has been knocked from without and

most of the knocking that all cities have to endure,
for all cities and towns and hamlets have their
knockers Paterson recognizes her affection and
makes burlesque funeral of it, and in reality this is
the most effective way to deal with it.
The "knocker' within is the enemy of city S

courages good men from taking public office and dis
courages those who in office. He merit in

If help to the strong, what then must it be to

infant the adult patient a bed of pain? A small
piece of ice is indeed blessed boon to the poor or

During the torrid summer spell with humanity
sweltering and suffering, and the wealthy fleeing to

men. It is received at the treasury
department and receipted for to those
officials when taken away by the dis
bursting clerks of the various depart
ments, After it leaves the treasury
department the officials there are no

comes the care of the officials of the
departments in which 1t has been

When the number of employees of a
department is so great as to make
the payroll a rather huge affair the
money is not carried away from the
treasury in bags by the disbursing
clerk and his assistant, but is trans
ferred in a wagon. These wagons are
kept under strict guard while they
are in transit and are being unload
ed and the money removed to the of
flee OF the disbursing clerks. To the
casual observer it may possibly seem
that those handling the money are
careless with it and are running a
dangerous risk by exposing the pack
ages or bags, as the case may be. to
passersby; but should the casual OBJ
server have any anxiety about this
it would be just as well to aIlay it at

man or two near at hand. but secret

misguided wrongdoer who might hope

cape is the widest possible visionary.

1t is not true that the Emperor Of

\ BRITISH ELECTORAL REFORM.

Plural voting in Great Britain has been of
the grievances of the British democracy 1t is class
device and, therefore, the Tories and the House of
Lords have upheld it But the Lords have lost their
power of veto of the bills of the Commons, and the
passage by the House for a second time of a bill
aboishing this privilege makes it reasonably sure
that it will become law next year, in spite of the
Lords
The plural voting system allows a to vote in
any district he property. He may vote in every
district in England if he property therein. This
privilege is therefore confined to landlords, mostly
of the Weather class, who nearly all Tories The
adjustment of plural voting will make electoral
