eral and State laws restricting or re-
gulating the distribution and use OF
opium. coca, and other narcotic and
ha authorizing drugs.
The abuse OF narcotic drugs involves
economic, social moral and public
health questions that collectively con-
stitute one of the m L serious prob
lens before the people of the United
States today.
In New York and several other
States. drug addiction is regarded as a
disease and these States have provided
a systematic treatment for those ad-
dicted TO the use of drugs, while In
Michigan such a person may be ad-
Judged incompetent and a guardian
appointed. A law recently enacted in
Tennessee permits the sale of narcotics
to drug addicts registered according
to the law. Similar laws exist in other
States. but the New York law for
treatmen. of drug addicts is considered
the better measure.
The principal shortcomings of the
present laws are that no method of
enforcement is outlined and no specific
appropriations are made for their en-
forcement.
In order to bring about a uniformity

the inadequacy of these laws. Statis-

VOSS-N|ChOLS WIN OPENING GAME IN
 TWILIGHT LEAGUE
County Judge PhilpQt Has Too Much "Stuff" on Ball,
 and Sheriff Fails.

With large and enthusiastic crowd of fans present to witness the sport, the, Twilight league started its playing season last evening at Ath- letic park, the Voss-Nichol team de- feating the Satanet squad by the score of s to 4.
 Despite the seeming preponderaMce in ability, the game was hotly con tested, the Satanets coming from be- hind, but not being able to overcome the lead gained earlier in the contest by their opponents. A two-base hit by Mizell was feature, another be- ing the control shown by the two pitchers.
 County Judge c. M. Philpot threw the first ball, which Sheriff k. II. Williams found too smoky" to catch. A. w. Lowe, county superin- tendent, gave satisfaction as umpire, and kept the boys moving throughout.
 The line-ups were as follows:
 Voss- -Nicholsx-Holt. C.; Mooney, D.; Tomme, 1b.: Hunter, 2b.: Hastings, ss.: Shear, 3b.: Yates, lg.; Galloway cf.: Johnson, If.
 Satanets-Mizell, C.; Shelby. p.; Gracey. h.; Hightower, 2h.; Royster' ss.: Cady. 2b.; Hope, cf.; Meeks, IT, Voughts. If.

POLICE RETURNED
 TO SCRIP BASIS
Council Instructs City At. torney to Prepare Ordi-
 nance Making Change.

An ordinance repeating the present ordinance under which members .oI the police department are paid in cash, and putting them back on a scrip basis from June 1, 1915, will be introduced at the next meeting of the city councel, under motion offered last nlght 5T Alderman Franey and adonted hy the council directing the ordinance to be prepared.
 The action of the council in this re- spect is no surprise, having virtually been agreed upon some time ago when it was decided to increase the size of tho department by adding sar, era! patrolmen.
 The police report for May shows cash fines amounting to S4o350; com mittcd $435.00; appealed. $i0, total $S7S50.
 Receipts from pound fees dui ing Nav aggregated SG5.50.
 Receipts at the cemetery during last month aggregated s125.2J, dis bursements were $136.93. making q deficit for the month of S11.6S.
 The council discussed at some length, and finally tabled. the ordi nanto proposing examination and li- cense for chauffeurs.
 The council amended the. old IT, cense ordinance. to fix the license on jitneys and taxicabs at $36 per year
 The council adopted resolution electing pr. c. U. Mayfield a commits sioner in paving district No. 27, to fil the vacancy caused by the death oi the late Clifton Howell. The com mission is now composed of William Nchol. Morris Silbernagle and pr Mayfeld.
 A petition was, read by Alderman Simpson. from many property owners and residents of the hkebed section asking the council to remove the trees, brush. old cans .and other debris from the lakebed between Main and Beech streets The council took no action on the petition.
 George w. List appeared before the council and asked reduction in the privilege on sprinkling carts. The tax is now $1e0 per year, and Mir List said the amount is virtually pro- hibitive. By agreement, the ordinance committee was instructed to. investl- gate and make recommendations to the council.
