March, we may expect, first. to learn
the number of. users Of these drugs.
After the number OF users Is known,
adequate steps can be taken by the
various state governments to prevent
drug habitues from using the federal
license to purchase drugs. Under the
Harrison act can see no reason why
any man, woman or child can not by
paying the special tax and being Ii
censed, procure as much of any drug
as he wishes. Being federal statute
1t necessarily tries to evade treading
upon the state rights. One feature Of
the act which hope will be straight
ened in the future is the exemption OF
patent and proprietary medicines which
do not contain more than two grains
Of opium, one-quarter grain of NOR
phine, one-eighth grain of heroin or
one-sixth grain of codein to the fluid
ounce. This exemption was forced into
the bill by patent medicine people. That
their interest is great can be indexed
from the fact that one of the lesser
national drug houses has already fur
nished list4which contains three hum
dred seventy preparations which are
not exempt; that is, certain excessive
amounts of these drugs. In this three
hundred seventy there are only thirty
one drugs or preparations which are
in the United States pharmacopeia."

with few minor injuries.
Shortly after APO an alarm was
turned in at both stations from $50

difficulty in starting the motor on the
! hose truck and Captain Armstrong
ordered several of the men to pro-
coed to the fire on the motor service
truck The truck was starting out OF
the station and the four men leaped
onto the running board on the left
side.
The Illinois Central engine, in charge
of Engineer Mark Scroggy, was re-

CINE and did not realize their danger
until it was too late to avert the &C
cident. The engine struck the truck
almost in the middle. The firemen were
on the opposite side and were either
thrown from the machine or jumped
when they saw the engine approaching.
TIE heavy truck was showed about

"If Iowa will give the people per-

We come to California as much for the
roads they are able to give us as we do
for the climate"

time it will have stations on both

Cedar Rapids Woman Tries to Con-
vince Police She Is Burglar.
Cedar Rapids, March 1s.-A pathetic
case of mother trying to assume
punishment for a crime committed by
her son was brought to the attention of
the police Monday night when Mrs.
Hodge, mother Of Milton Hoege. called
at the police station and tried to con-
vince the police that she and not her
son burglarized the home af Elmer
Cole, .s12 South Third street west. For
many minutes Mrs. Hodges insisted
that she committed the burglary and
was willing to go to prison for the
crime.
Mrs. Hodge, however, did not know
anything about the articles that were
stolen. She finally admitted that her eff
fort to take punishment for the crime
was only determination to free her
son. She said that she would rather
be in prison than suffer as she does
living the life she is forced to live at
present. The police made every effort
to encourage Mrs. Hodge. Her son. Mil
ton Hodge. as is known, confessed that
he and Ray Ring burglarized the Cole
home.

-Des Moines. March 1s.-Denial that
the medical profession Of Iowa is re-
sponsible for the growth of the drug
habit, in this state was a feature OF
the discussions before the board of con-
troll at the conference this week. SUI
4 perintendent Donohoe, of the Chero-
<kee hospital, presented this phase OF
the question. He also rather startled
the conference by an analysis of the
federal law on the subject and it's
weaknesses, showing that it had been
so doctored by the patent medicine
makers as to- leave large loopholes.
Among other things DR.. Donohoe
said:
1.-The drug cases admitted to the
state hospital for inebriates in the last
two years have changed in type. For
merly only occasionally drug patient
was admitted and these patients were
men of adult life, or advanced age, who
had been addicted to opium for some
years. Recently many young boys from
the ages OF 16 to 81 have been adj
mitted in terrible physical and men
tai condition from excessive use OF
morphine, heroin and cocaine. While
the medical profession was a genera
ton ago rightfully accused of pre-
scribing opium and laudanum rather
indiscriminately, none Of the present
patients in any way blame their down
fall upon physicians. Every history
shows that they have been taught the
habit by criminal or semi-criminal
people. Every patient tells a history
of hanging about the pool rooms in
the winter and in the "jungles," as the
outline district of cities is called by
Migrants and police characters, in the
summer.
Evil 10 Widespread.
n $50 far as my observation goes, no
city OF any size in Iowa is free from
the evil of young boys and girls taking
these pernicious drugs purely for the
intoxication. ] would place the re-
sponsibility Of this deplorable state of
affairs, first, upon the parents who do
not exercise any authority or super
vision over their children. The So
ciety or community that allows chill
dren Of either sex below the age Of
Is and 10 to b out at all hours with
out any supervision as to their COM
panions and occupation will breed more
criminality and troublesome characters
than the old fashioned Puritan families
who made their children be in the
house after dark and usually in bed
by~9so'clock, after family prayers.
