the Austro-Germans are making no
big offensive at any point along the

The Drug Problem.

Drug addiction is very common in
this country. and constitutes a men,
ace to the nation. according to an ar
ticle in the Public Health Reports for
March 10, 1915, which reviews the eff
forts made to lessen the abuse Of
habit forming drugs and analyses the
federal state laws restricting or reg
ulating the distribution and use Of
opium. coca, and other narcotic and
habit forming drugs
The abuse Of narcotic drugs in
wolves economic. social, moral and
public health questions that collec-
lively constitute one Of the most Sc
rious problems before the people OF
the United States today, says this
public health service. In New York
and several other states drug addic-
ton Is regarded as disease. and
these states have provided a system
alto treatment for those addicted 10
the use Of drugs, while in Michigan
such a person may be adjudged in
competent and a guardian appointed.
A law recently enacted In Tennessee
permits the sale Of narcotics to drug
addicts registered according to la v.
Similar laws exist in other states. but
the New York law for the treatment
of drug addicts Is considered the bet
ter measure.
The principal shortcomings Of the
present laws are that no method Of
enforcement is outlined and no speci-
fic appropriations are made for their
enforcement.
In order to bring about a uniformi-
ty in the enactment and enforce
ment Of anti-narcotic laws. those who
are interested in the subject should
make a careful comparative study of
the existing laws to determine the
reasons for the inadequacy Of these
laws. Statistics should be compiled
showing the nature and extent Of the
use of habit forming drugs. and ear
nest efforts should be made to secure
uniform legislation which will pre-
vent the misuse Of such drugs.
The solution of the drug problem
will be well worth the thought. time
and expense required, and all who are
interested in the welfare Of the Amer
lean people should give their support
to the new federal anti-narcotic law
which aims to reduce the number of
drug addicts and to remove the temp
tation from others.

won. His death was hourly expected
but medical science and strong con-
stitution triumphed. Then his friends
everywhere rejoiced and yesterday

Few men will be more widely or sin
cerely modrned than Curtis Guild.
