INTERNAL REVENUE REGIS
TRATIONS WILL MAKE IT
HARD TO GET DRUG

The day Of the drug fiend is rapid,

a remarkable increase during the past
five years. Not morning goes by in

OF these wretches are brought before
the bar of justice to answer to
charges of vagrancy, petit larceny or
kindred crimes. These are the per-
sons whom the drug curse had drag
ged into the lowest depths OF degra-
dation and do not include the hum
dreds of respectable men and women
who are the users OF the vicious drugs
in secret.
When the new law goes into effect
drugs can only be purchased and sold
according to regulations prescribed by
the government. All druggists and
physicians who have occasion to use
these drugs in their business must
register The druggist orders the
stuff from the wholesale houses on
blanks sold him by the government.
He retains duplicate Of the order

file in the wholesale house. Both
must remain on file for period of
two years for inspection.

curate record of the sales of drugs !

dispose Of them under prescriptions
from a registered physician. All pre-
containing morphine and
kindred drugs must be signed by the
patient in the presence of the drug-

Would Outlaw Canoes.

Burning of the canoes at Camp Tex
akwitha is good example. The use
of these extremely frail, unstable and
therefore dangerous chaft should be
everywhere restricted to expert swim
mers. Any others who go out in them
risk their lives, since the least in
cautious movement Is likely to cause
an upset even when the water is quiet.
While canoes may still be used by
those who are fitted and ready at any
moment to swim ashore, it would be
better if they we're put out of use al
together. There is always the daS>
ger, as long as they are kept at hand,
that boys who cannot swim may seize
an opportunity to venture out in them.
They serve no purpose that is worth
while. An expert may derive some
pleasure from padding canoe about
but to persons who want to enjoy q
ride upon the water they offer neither
security nor comfort.-Albany Journal.

EXAMPLE SET BY TEACHER
Responsibility of Those in Charge Of
the Youth of the. Country =
a Great Ora
(TO BE CONTINUE

Few teachers realize the extent to
which their students. whether in the
primary grades or the university. are
following their examples. 1t is re-
lated of William R. Harper, well-re-
membered president of Chicago uni
versity, that he WAS brought to a real
ization of his responsibility in the
following manner:
When he was afflicted with cancer
and knew that there was nothing be-
fore him but a hopeless, lingering
illness, he decided that the best thing
to do was to take things into his own
hands and end it ALL He confded his
decision to friend Of his, man who
had broader vision on this point
than the great president himself. He
referred President Harper to the
many students who lad been under
his influence and said, Among all
these thousands many will face q
crisis similar to the one which you
face now. Many will reach the deci-
sion which you have reached, for they
will think, 1T is all right: Prexy did
it, Doctor Harper saw his respon-
sibility at once and said. "Tll stick
it out" What great thing it would
be If all teachers were willing to bear
as much as this, in order that their
lives might be better examples for
those who may come under their in
f1uence.
