Motherhood Without Fear"
Overdone in the Magazines
A Protest Against the Shameless Exploitation Of the Fears Of
Prospective Mothers Of the Country Magazines Should State
Facts. SfEE@ #& 3&t@& @#2E@+&@ @a* %

A few months ago McClure's maya.
zine announced to the prospective
mothers of the country that a re.
markable discovery had been made
by which the pangs CT childbirth were
to be forever abolished. The an
nouncement was mad in the form of
Ian article by two women, apparently
of no medical training. The remark
able discovery was the long-discred
tied scopolamin-morphin analgesia,
first suggested in 1902. This sensa-
tional article was taken advantage of
| by a pharmaceutic firm for free ad-
vertising of a pastrum, based en-. a
similar formula; a number of physi-
clans previously unknown brought
themselves into newspaper promi-
hence with naive statements regard
ing their ability in the use Of the
method and with reports of their sue
cess; a host Of ::scb-writers" and SIS
tiers of the pen, whose work is test
ed by their ability to wiring anguish
from sympathetic hearts, filled col
umns of the daily press and maya.
zines with pseudo-scientific rubbish.
And now, when this sensation has
about died out, we are supplied with
another. This one is furnished by
Mr.. Vance Thompson, playwright and
novelist; the medium is the Cosmo-
pOlitan magazine. In an editors
note the article describing this new
method of eliminating the pains CT
labor is introduced as follow: '@
"The all-absorbing events of. the
last days OF July prevented the
spread Of the most joyful message
ever sent from the scientists labora-
tory to woman. 1t was that hence
forth she will bear children not in
pain and terror but in gladness. Paris
knew of it; the French Academy OF
Medicine had accepted it, but it got
no further. Mr.. Thompson was then
in the city and to him has fallen the
wonderful opportunity of carrying the
good news to the men and women OF
America. Here it is.
"Attention must be called to the
fact that the practice here described
has nothing tc' do with the morphin.

some years ago in Freiburg and
which recently has had some meas
ure of exploitation under the popular
name of twilight Sleep" This re-
quires special and very expert care
on the part of the physician, and has
the further disadvantage of dragging
the patient into a state of partial IT,
sensibility. 1t can be administered
properly only in hospitals, and it's use
in general practice should, and pro-
badly will, be forbidden by law. But

slightest danger to the mother, caus-

DON'T KNOCK; o
Bismarck, N. D, Dec. 23, 1871.

Bismarck, N. D, Dec. %, 1914.
There is a certain element in Bis
marck which has taken upon itself the
task of knocking the Armory of Co.
A, North Dakota National Guard. Az
the best, there are not many induce
ments to a young man to join the
state militia, and the armory is where
they hold their meetings aad drill.
The allowance of each company Of
North Dakota militia from the state
is but $500 per year. There are many
expenses to be met and this amount
is far below what it should be. Con-
sequently, it devolves upon the COM
pany to raise the balance Of the money
needed in whatever way 1t possibly
can, and about the only method open
to them to do this is by Renting the
armory for public meetings, dances,
etc. Any effort to harm them or
their home should not be tolerated
by the citizens Of Bismarck.
Company A, which is the governors
guard, is the first company in the
North Dakota regiment and vas also
first in the United States Volunteers
in the Spanisn-American war. An
effort is being made to send the North
Dakota regiment to the Panama Ex-
position at San Francisco in 1915 Tor
their annual encampment. If present
plans are carried through this will
tbe done and it will be a good adver-
tisement for the state. Eoost; don't

II do not write of this discovery

Academy of Medicine-the date was
the third week in July. Surgeons,

degrees have examined, tested, ap-

been unanimous
There is. nc excuse for such false
statements; even Mr.. Thompson
could seasily have. learned the truth.
What are the facts? What is this
"detoxicated morphin" which, we are
told, eliminates the pains of child
birth? Last July, R~ibemont-Des-
saignes reported to the Academy of
Medicine of Paris a number of cases
OF childbirth in which he had used,
for the relief of pain, a preparation

ton was not disclosed to the acad-
envy. September ], presumably as a
result of the suggestion of Paulin, a
request came to the academy from
the Minister Of War asking the opin-
ion of the academy as to the advis-
ability Of using this remedy, present
ed under the name 'Tocanalgine'
and "Antalgine," in military hospi-
tails as a substitute for mcrphin. By
unanimous vote the academy declar-
ed that the formula and composition
of these medicines being known, it
could give no opinion. Since it was
stated, however, that the new drug
was produced by the action of envy
mes on morphin, the academy ap-
pointed a committee to investigate
oxydi-morphy, a chemical substance
which it was known could be produc-
ed by the action of engines on NOR
phin. Under the direction of the
committee, two chemists examined
samples OF the new preparation OBJ
tanned directly from the discoverer.
The examination showed that these
samples were variable and that they
did not contain any oxydimorphin.
The only active ingredient found by
these chemists was m0rphin hydro
CHORD, and this in quantities vary
ing from 0.O5, to 4 per cent. The
conclusions Of these two chemists
were later emphasized by Bertrand

ONE NE MACE.

If anything menaces the peace OF
this nation, 1t is the attitude Of Eng.
land toward neutral shipping. OF
course, this will not plunge us into
a war, but the point Is we'll raised by
many newspapers that America has
not raised a very vigorous protest
against British interference with neu
trail cargoes.
Some of the papers with leani1gs
toward the German cause insist that

ment Of cargoes in American bottoms.
If United States is going to build
up a merchant marine now is the
time. 1t is to our advantage that
other nations embarrass the ships

little as possible.
England has closed the North Sea
to neutral shipping. There has been
no protest as yet from America upon
this action. Grand Admiral Won Tir-
pitt points this out in a recent inter-
view. He asks significantly what will

logic tests CT samples submitted 10
! him, found that the solid residue was
exclusively formed of hydrochlorid OF
| morphin, and that it was fully as
toxic and dangerous as morphin, as
might be expected; the symptoms OF
poisoning were exactly the same as
those of morphin hydrcchlorid, ana

give about n grain of morphin. IN
other words, judging from the reports
which appeared in the Journal dc
pharmacie ct de chimie for Novem-
Der Is, and the Bulletin de facade
mie de medicine from July Il to NO
vember II, this so-called "detoxicat-
ed morphin" is essentially a solution
of morphin in ampules. 1t will kill
just as quickly as morphin, 1t will
relieve pain just as quickly as NOR
phin-because it is morphin. 4Natur-
ally, the Academy of Medicine Of
Paris has not accepted the prepara-
ton.
We presume it is useless to protest
against this shameless exploitation CT
the fears of prospective mothers OF
the country. But if magazines must
have articles on this subject, let them
at least confine themselves to the
facts. The article in the Cosmopoll'
tan is cruel, sensational and a dis
grace even to yellow journalism.

NEGROES IN Am

Negroes continue to acquire prop
erty rapidly in America and are max
ing for themselves a formidable eco
nomic place in this nation. In Vir
ginia, the race owns 1,629,626 acres
of land, assessed at $14,156,757. The
negroes of North Carolina pay take;
on 1,3S7,635 acres.
This is the situation in many Other
southern states. Robert E. Church o.
Memphis, a negro, who died recently
left an estate of approximately $4,000,
900.
1t is said that the largest income
tax in Oklahoma will be paid this
year by Sarah Rector, a ten-year-old
negro girl. 1t is reported that hel
income is $4,000 a year.
The economic advancement of the
negro, according to students of this
social problem is manifested il many
ways. Members of the race are build
ing more substantial buildings and
their entry in various commercial
branches is not restricted as it was
A leading negro firm of Birming'
ham, Ala, does a business Of $500,
900 a year and employs 100 men the
entire year,
Many negro women are successful
in business. Indianapolis reports a
dealer in hair goods, with an income
of $4,000 a year.
Much of the progress is traceable
to the excellent work Booker T,
Washington is doing for his ace al
the Tuskegee Institute.
The Negro Year Book, just issued
assemblies an interesting array of sta
t~istics, a reading of which dispels
much of the pessimism we are inclind
to harbor in reference to the future
of the negro. He seems to be solving
that himself and gradually carving
out a niche in our economic scheme
In 1913 the number of lynchings
shows a slight decrease. There were
4S reported by the Chicago Tribune
in 1918, as against GA in 1912.
Data compiled for the year book
shows that the negro now has an ad'
vantage in the struggle for the con
troll of the rural districts of the South
and that segregation is being urged
to give the white man a fairer show
Negro farm acreage in the South has
increased in the last year, while the
white farm acreage has fallen off,
From 1900 to 1910, negro farm acre
age gained on white farm acreage
100000 acres a year.
The year book just off the press
performs q distinct service for the ne
gro and should result il a better un'
derstaading of his hopes and aspira'
tons.
