the city of New Ulm by sending out
literature in the shape of pamphlet
or booklet, but thought it was un.
necessary to get it up in such elaborate
and artistic style as the sample booklet,
! and it was finally resolved to put at
the disposal of the advertising com
mittee the sum of 100000, which they
are to spend according to their own
best judgment.
The Redstone Road and Bridge
matter was called up, but no one present
seemed to be able to give any infor-
nation as to how far this project had
advanced. Different speakers could not
understand why this matter should
be allowed to drag along, and one
especially referred to the time the
matter was referred to the Board of
Public Works over year ago and that
at that time the Board of Public Works
had resolved not to take up the matter
of the road because they felt that it
should be handled in the way that it
is now being proposed. No action
was taken but it was left to President
Ottomeyer, to see the Chairman of the
Committee in charge of the important
work to get hin to push this road propo-
sition as fast as it possibly can be done.
The matter of desirable residences
for transient families in the city was
discussed and Mr.. Weilandt, who
happened to be present was questioned
as to the building outlook for the coming
year and he informed the club members
that as far as he could find out the
number of residences to be built in
New Ulm would be fully as large, if
not larger than last year. While this
matter was being discussed, Albert
Steinhauser suggested that it would
be a good thing if a certain number
would get together and organize an
improvement league, whose business
it would be to erect modern residences
which could be rented out to people who

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL
ATTEMPT TO CONTROL SALE
OF"DOPE".
DRUGGISTS MUST ACCOUNT FOR
EVERY GRAIN OF OPIUM
BOUGHT.

last year, became effective. 1t is known
as the Harrison Act. Under this law
every druggist is required to register
and must pay tax of 81 per year,
therefor. The law also requires that
physicians, dentists and veterinary sur
geons register and pay the registry tax.
The object of the law is to prohibit
the sale of narcotic to dope fiends and
to prevent, if possible the excessive use
thereof. All opium preparations and
its derivatives, such as morphium,
codeine, heroin, etc. and all preparations
obtained from cocoa leaves such as CO.
caine, are put under the ban. All
druggists were required to inventory
the narcotic above mentioned that they
had on hand as of March LIST this year,
and they will not be permitted to sell
or give the same to anyone unless the
person comes prepared with a prescrip-
ton duly signed by physician who
has registered. Prescriptions must bear
the physicians number and the pa
TENTS name, and the druggist is re-
quired to keep a record of the quaint
ties prescribed.
These records must be kept for at
least two years, and the druggists are
liable to be checked up by government
inspectors every three months. That
means as often as the government deems
it necessary to find out if the various
druggists in the country are complying
with the law; they will send an inspect
ing officer, who will check over the
accounts. For checking up purposes,
they take as a basis the amount of these
narcotics that the druggist had on hand
as of March 1st, the amount that has
been dispensed in legal way, and the
amount that has been purchased from
the wholesale houses. To make sure
that the government will have a tho
rough and accurate check upon the sale
of these narcotics the law requires that
they can only be ordered from the whole
sale houses on order blanks which are
furnished by the government. For
these the druggists pay at the rate of
l cent apiece. The order blanks are
to be made out in duplicate. The ORR
ginal is forwarded to the wholesale
house and the duplicate is retained by
the druggist. The wholesale drug house
is expected to keep these original orders
on hand, so that at any time when a
druggist is checked up it can be deter
mined absolutely if the amount of mar
cotics purchased as shown by the du-
plicate on file with the druggist is iden-
tically the same as the quantity ordered
as appears from the original on file
with the wholesale house.
The excessive use of all these narcotics
by so-called dope fiends and others
who are on the highway to that class
of citizens has become so alarming
that the government has decided upon
this method for the purpose of checking
it. Whether or not this will be an eff
fective measure, will of course not be
known until the law has been in operl-
alton for some time. This much is GER
tain that unless steps are taken so that
the law is enforced strictly, it might
be just as we'll if it had never been
placed on the statute books.
