has been peddled by those who were

This law in no way interferes
with the physician in the legitimate
use of narcotics. The druggist has
only to know the law and obey it.
The people are in no way injured by
it, for the doctor may use the narcot-
les needed; they may be prescribed,
but the prescription cannot be refilled
to lead on to the narcotic habit. The
law does not prohibit the use of mar
cotics in treatment of the dope tiend
and once he is cured he will bless the
day that the Harrison law was
passed.
"The only persons hurt by this law
are the dope peddlers, and as Bill
Swells would say, it do seem his job
is gone a callahootin,' for the rec
ords will furnish evidence for his
conviction, possession of narcotics
without registration and record of
purchase means conviction and con-
viction means $4,000 or five years,

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Secretary

that American chemical works and
manufacturers of dyestuffs were
ready to embark capital and enter
prise in building up a distinctly
American coal tarchmical industry,
providing there is adequate legisla-

Mr.. Redfield pointed out that do

EFFECTS OF THE NEW STATUTE

Innocent Cures of Past Are Barred
and Those Who Violate Provisions
of the Act Liable to Heavy Fine
and Sentence to Prison.
The man who has been having his
cold cured in the past with qulnlne
and dover's powders will have to find
some other remedy for it now. For
such a combination constitutes dope
under the new federal anti-narcotlc
law. The fact that remedy which
has been considered such a simple
and effective one has been put under
the ban by the government shows
how thoroughly Uncle Sam has gone
into this job of stopping the sale OF
narcotics
Said a leading druggist of the state
in discussing the new law:
ION March 1st the Harrison anti
narcotic law became effective. Those
who opposed it's passage have recent
ly spent money and time beside using
much printers ink in an effort to Gre
ate a sentiment against this the most
stringent anti-narcotic law ever pass
ed by any country, because in its
enforcement they see the end OF their
career as peddlers of dope. In it they
pretend to see suffering for the peo-
pie, a handicap to the physician in
the treatment of disease, the poor
druggist they see selling his hat and
bed in an effort to pay fine, then
taking a five years enforced leave
of absence behind prison walls; and
the dope fiend they picture as a bur-
glar and cut throat in his efforts to
secure his dope.
This law does not prohibit the use
of narcotic drugs by the physician or
their use in small quantities by the
manufacturer of patent or proprie-
tary medicines, except as to cocaine,
which can only be used on prescrip-
ton, but does require that records be
kept which can be checked against
purchases, which can only be made
on order blanks obtained from the
government
Physicians Prescriptions.
Therefore the physician may pre-
scribe narcotics where needed, but
must comply with the law or take
chances of a $4,000 fine or five years
vacation behind prison walls and
possibility of enjoying both of these
blessings. Should he prescribe mar
cotics promiscuously or hand them
out from his office government in
spector may drop around to investi-
gate and If nothing more is done he
may be refused registration on his
next application.
1.-The druggist who does business
within the law need have no fear of
doing time. 1t is up to him to know
the law and obey it, for we have as
surance that this law will be enforc-
ed and ignorance will be no excuse.
There will likely be many drug
gists who will find themselves in
trouble because of failure to famil-
iarize themselves with the laws. 1t
will cost money and possibly put
some out of business if not in prison.

Supposod Danger to the Eye.
Many people believe that certain
modern illuminants are dangerous to
the eyes on account Of their ultra
violet or actinic radiations. Or. Louis
Bell and DR.. +. 81. verhoeff have made
an extensive Investigation OF the ef.
afects Of radiation on the various parts
OF the eye, from the. corneal epithelium
back to the retina. In an article
in Science the investigators report
that no artificial source Of light pro-
duces enough ultra violet radiation to
be of the slightest danger to the eye.
Such pathoiogic or injurious action
as they have been able to detect ex.
perimentally from ultra violet rays is
confined to a strictly limited region
Of the spectrum. and perfectly definite
laws govern it's quantity and effect
Actual experiments on the human eye
show conclusively that no concentra'
ton Of radiation on the retina from
any artificial illuminant is great
enough to produce injury under any
practical conditions. Protective glasses
are useful only. they conclude, in cut
ting OF dazzling light. ,~i. s~5a.- -.

Up to date the Englishman has

ticularly Willie Richie, whom he
uncrowned and whom he is matched

Welsh has now been champion al

a decision fight since he won the

He has fought plenty of battles,
but he and his manager, H. Connolly

RAsPBERRIEs TURN IDLE SPOTS INTO
PROFITABLE LAND,
bottom of the furrow, but cover only
a few inches at first and draw in soil
as they grow. While berries do not
thrive in soggy land, they like plenty
OF moisture in the soil, and sprinkling
can be done to advantage.
In setting out currant bushes one
should be careful to select place
where there is plenty of light and air.
They do not require especially fertile
soil, but they do need the sunlight and
air. IT possible do not put the bushes
where they will be weighted down by
snow In the winter, for this breaks the
branches.
The ground should be worked thor
oughly and deep before setting out the
bushes, for after the planting only a
very shallow cultivation can be done,
as the currants are surface roofing
plant. Rotted manure is one of the
best fertilizers for working into the
land, and after the currant bushes have
been set out this will be found excel
lent as mulch.
Hardy one-year-old plants are found
to be among the best for starting a
new piece. The plants begin to bear
the year after planting and come into
full maturity in the third year. If
they are given care they will produce
paying crops for a score of years.
Pruning should be done in the early
spring, cutting out all the dead and
weak branches and heading back most
vigorous growth.
It will be seen that the currant is an
easy plant to raise as we'll as a very
profitable one. The same is true Of the
gooseberry. Very few diseases attack
these plants. The currant worm can
be killed by applying pyrethrum pow
der. If there is any disease found to
be among the branches it is best to
cut off the afflicted ones at once and
thus prevent the spread of the trouble.
The methods of caring for the goose
berry plants are practically the same
as those used in dealing with currants.
1t was formerly thought that goose
berries would do best in a shady place,
but this is not true. Mildew will at
tack them if they are kept shaded.
The only thing to prevent this is to
have the plants kept open at the TOP.
