tended that the Chevy Chase school had

mentary schools raised to higher stand

Death OF Mrs. SELMA d. Wilson.

On January 10Th. 1915, this county lost
one Of its most highly esteemed citizens
in the death of Mrs. Selma d. Wilson. OF
WoOdside, aged II years. She was buried
in the Woodside cemetery of Grace Protes-
tant Episcopal Church. The funeral took
place January 22nd from her late resi-
dence at Woodside. the Rev. George II.
McGrew, of Grace Church. officiating. A
large attendance and many beautiful floral
tributes testified to the affectionate esteem
in which she was held.
Mrs. Wilson has for many years been a
woman of wonderful vigor and strength Of
character, and has taken always a great
interest in, and was especially well in
formed about. matters of national impor-
lance. She was the daughter of Prof.
Alexander Garland Pendleton, former pro-
fessor of mathematics in the u. S. Navy
at the National Observatory.
On August Is. 1853. she was married to
the late John C. Wilson, of this county.
At the time of her death she had six sur
viving children-Mr. William p. Wilson,
the Misses Rose Wilson. Emma Wilson
and Selma p. Wilson and Mrs. Ellen Will
son. all of WoOdside. and Mrs. A. L. Nor
sell. Of Milwaukee.
Her lifes experience at her home covered
an interesting period. where, before Wood
side was laid out were enacted some Of
the stirring scenes of the great civil war.
when Gen. Early made his celebrated raid
on Washington in 1864.
The old citizens of the county are fast
leaving us, and we extend to the family
our sympathy at their loss and our tribute
to the worth and esteem in which she was
held.

State Aid Is Demanded.

With the adoption of resolutions outlin-
ing legislative measures as a means Of
combating the disease, the first State Con-
ference on tuberculosis was brought to a
close at Annapolis at noon on Saturday
last. The attendance Saturday morning
was even larger than that which marked
the opening session on Friday. The
various subjects treated during meetings
aroused keen interest.
The resolutions adopted were offered by
DR.. Hiram Woods. of Baltimore, and are
as follows:
Whereas the 10 years fight against
tuberculosis in Maryland has resulted in
slight diminution in the death rate from
this disease; and
Whereas the seriousness of the situa-
ton is now apparent to the people of the
State, as evidenced by the proclamation of
his Excellency Governor Goldsborough; be
it
Resolved. That this conference of pub
lie officials, physicians. nurses, social work
ers and citizens of Maryland assembled at
the State House in Annapolis does now
express its concensus, to wit:
THAT it is desirable that the State en-
bark upon definite policy of providing
adequate hospital facilities for the segre-
cation and care of advanced cases of tu-
berculosis in small hospitals distributed
over the State. supported jointly by the
State and the counties.
THAT adequate provision be made for
the segregation. treatment and care of
negroes suffering from tuberculosis.
That the State make legal provision for
the segregation and detention of such tu
berculosis patients as are found to be a
definite menace to the public health.
And that the Maryland Association for
the Prevention and Relief of tuberculosis
be requested to endeavor. through the year.
to secure the public discussion of these
three items and prepare proper bills for
their realization, to be presented to the
Legislature of 1916"

throughout the country, we would
have total of something more than
$4,000 drug habltues, consuming ap
proximately 1,146000,O00 average
doses a year.
Granting the somewhat improba'
BILE assertion that 80 per cent Of the
opium imported is used illegitimately
at the rate that 1t is said to be con.
sumed in Tennessee, we could have
as a maximum not more than $4,000
users of opium, its derivatives and
alkaloids, in all parts Of the United
States
in regard to the use Of cocaine, a
recent authority asserts that one
ounce of cocaine is enough to keep
so fiends thoroughly well doped for
year Granting that all the avail.
able 100000 ounces of cocaine were
used illegitimately, there could be at
this rate a total of 100000 cocaine
fiends in the United States.
That this estimate is somewhat
high would appear from a report by
c. G. Steinmetz, who made a study of
Is men who acquired the habit while
employed where the drug is manufac-
tured. The daily quantity taken va
ried from 20 to 80 grains; the method
of taking it was solely by snufiing 1t.
Even on the basis of the lower quality
the consumption per annum would be
in the neighborhood of 10 ounces and
this would reduce the possible number
of cocaine fiends very materially.
Pharmacists will appreciate that
the figures given by Steinmetz are
much more in accord with actual prac-
tice than are the figures previously
quoted. Taking all the available facts
into consideration. it would appear
that the estimate made by the Com
mittee of the American Pharmaceuti-
cal association some years ago that
the drug addicts in this country do
not exceed 100000 in number is ap-
proximately correct, even at the pres |
ent time.
THAT other previously made esti- |
mates Of the number of addicts in this |
country were altogether erroneous is
further evidenced by the published re- |
ports on hospital admissions since the .
Federal Antinarcotic law came into
effect. It has been predicted that the
result of the enforcement of that law
would be a besieging of hospitals by
drug addicts and a crime wave of ma
tional scope accompanied by a trail of
suicide and death. While the effects
of the enforcement of the federal law
have been clearly evidenced by hos
pital reports, the results have been by
no means so far-reaching or so star
tling as had been expected"
One conclusion reached by investi-
gators is that from 80 to 95 per cent
Of narcotic users do so unnecessarily.
It has been asserted, he found that
the average person will develop an ad-
iiction to opium or one of its aka.
oids after 30 days Of daily use and
after continuing the use for three
months or more it is impossible to
discontinue its use without medical
aid.
