To THE EDITOR OF THE SrN-Sir: Al
low me to commend your article on the
bad taste of those who parade In public
tho artistic and educational shortcomings
OF those now dead, who wrought and
bought as best they knew with LOVING
hearts.
Verify the brutal and bumptious self
conccit OF the promoters must earn the
contempt OF all right thinking people.
Many times ! wounded my poor old
mothers heart a. a boy. Thank God, /
still keep green the memory of her happy
tears when with my first earnings 1

The love which made such things beau
tiful should protect them from the raucous
laughter OF the two legged asses who

DR. Lucius p. Brown state pure
food and drugs inspector, of Tennes-
see addressed the Chattanooga Aca-
deny of Medicine, the Hamilton Co.
Medical Society, and the local drug
gists' association lat Chattanooga, on
March 81, and the drug evil in that

were %, 500 persons in the state suf-
| fering from the drug habit, and that
$540,0OO was spent yearly in Tennes-
see for drugs by habitual drug us
ers.
IF the general public knew the
number of young men from our best
homes said DR.. Brown, who have
become addicted to the use of drugs,
| it would start a revolution in the
state. A man who drinks whiskey,
gets it in the open and tries to let

and quietly dopes and no one knows
