Now is the Time
to Swat the Fly

Uncle Sam is waging a RELENTLESS
war on the deadly househy and il
late bulletin prepared by the
Department of Agriculture, val
liable information is given on the
best means of combating this dead
ly pest. The most effective way
of exterminating the fly, according
to the bulletin, is to eradicate his
breeding places. The breeding
season Of the fly begins early in
March and continues throughout
the spring and summer months.
All dirt should be removed from
the premises, stables cleaned and
decaying vegetables destroyed.
The fly has rightly been called

carries a side line of tuberculosis,

The Anti Narcotic Law.

What is known as the Harrison
son Anti-Narcotic Law, passed by
Congress last December, goes ints
effect on March 1st, and its strin
gent regulations and requirement;
are now being carefully studied by
druggists and physicians.
Generally speaking, the law pro-
hibits the sale, except under GER
tain restrictions of those drugs
which produce coma OF torpor, and
which are incidentally used to al
leviate pain and produce sleep,
and which in excessive doses cause
death.
Narcotics enter into the compos-
ition of hundreds of medicines,
but their dangerous character
makes it imperative that they
should be handled carefully, and
only by skilled persons.
A great many patent medicines
contain some narcotic, and. in
many of them, the only benefit to
be derived from their use, is the
deadening of the sensibilities pro-
duced by the powerful drug which
they contain. Patent headache
remedies, cough syrups and the
like are the most common, and
against the sale of these, the new
law is directly applicable.
The Harrison act requires all
druggists to be registered by the
Collector of Internal Revenue.
That is to say, the man who is
selling drugs must register his
name and his place of business
with the United States govern
ment. So, also, must physicians,
before they are permitted to pre-
scribe narcotics in their medical
practice.
Only on the prescription of a
registered physician, compounded |
by registered druggist, may a
narcotic drug be obtained, and it's
sale under any other condition is
heavily penalized by the new law.
OF special interest, moreover, is
the provision of the law that per-
SOL, not registered under this act
who has in his possession any mar
cotic drug, or medicine containing
a narcotic, is held to be guilty of
its violation aud subject to its
penalties. The very fact that he
has narcotics in his possession is
held to be presumptive evidence
chat he is violating the law.
Country merchants usually car
y a limited stock of drugs in the
shape of the ordinary remedies
md patent medicines. But, here
sfter, they must be careful that
heir supply does not include med. I
cines which contains narcotics; i
md those having on their shelves
uch drugs as laudanum, parego
ic, or patent medicines containing {
more than two grains of opium to 7
he ounce, or more than one-quar- (
er grain of morphine or codeine, 7
lad better get rid of them before t
Iarch 1st. A
The law is also applicable to \
-entists and veterinarians, 10Th of a
7hom are required to be registered f
nder the act before they can use n
arcotics in their practice. Mag a

What Is the Drug Fiend to Do?

On March /, 1915, the Harri
son bill goes into effect, says DR.
Evans. in the Chicago Tribune
1t is a federal law and. therefor,
applies in every part of the Unit
ed States. The federal govern
ment has a way of enforcing it:
law. Furthermore, drugs are in
the hands of druggists-a law
abiding class. All in all, the
chance that the law will be en-.
forced is excellent.
A few days ago we said that
drug addicts could get their drug
without trouble after the law
went into effect. This opinion
was based on a careful reading
OF the law. But we have been
Informed by the local internal
revenue collector that this is in
correct.
Section 1 gives the commission
er OF internal revenue, with the
approval of the secretary of the
treasury. the right to make rules
and regulations for carrying the
provisions of this act into effect.
Section 2 requires that no drug
OF the kinds specified in the law
shall be sold to any one except
upon written order, said order
to be on blank provided by the
collector. The collector has ruled
that blanks shall not be issued to
addicts.
. The person who has a drug
habit after March / can get his
supply through physicians only.
AS a means of getting a supply
this will prove unsatisfactory.
Some physicians will be careless.
Some will be worse than careless.
The great majority will refuse to
act as mediums for the evasion
of the law.
There are more than Ia million
opium and cocaine users in the
United States. What can they
do?
Some will make more or less
permanent connections with i'm
proper sources Of supply. Physi-
clans, dentists and veterinarians,
tempted to supply drugs to ad-
diets, whether impelled by cup
IDLY or weakness, should bear in
mind that the federal govern
ment is strong and compelling.
Some addicts will find temper
ary supplies to tide them over a
brief period.
Some will undertake cures.
They will find it easier to break
off than they thought. Cures
are fairly satisfactory. They will
be doubly satisfactory now that
relapsing is to be a difficult mat
ter.
1t is a common knowledge that
some prisoners are broken of their
habits by short Jail sentenences.
Deprived of their drug, they suf-
fer severely for a few days and
moderately for a few weeks, but
at the expiration of their sent
ences they go out freed of the
habit. AS they are, generally :
speaking, neurotic or fee b lie =
they relapse. But the :
jail experience has proved that
breaking off is not so unpleasant ,
as was expected
Perhaps now that strong gov '
proposes to act in lieu :
IF a strong will the cure may be :
without relapse.

Washington the Farmer.

/ Valuable lessons may nearly al
ways be drawn from the study O
great mems lives, even though fo
greatness there is no pattern. TIL,
birthday Of George Washington il
a fit occasion for considering what
in his career might be most help
full and stimulating to us in oui
own smaller orbits. Tradition anc
time have made him remote from
us; the very phrase, the Father OF
his Country, has transported him
from the sphere of men who mere.
ly are, or hope to be, fathers OF
families. Yet he touched life at so
many points and left such COM
plete and revealing records of his
homely interests that for the ord
mary American not even Lincoln's
life is more suggestive. Indeed,
of the two, Washington comes
more completely within the plain
mans comprehension; in Lincoln
there was more of the mystic; i'm.
agination played larger part in
his achievement than in Washing.
tons.
The distinguishing characters
tic exemplified in Washington's
private life is his love of the land.
If you read his diary and his
Mount Vernon letters. with their
full and explicit details of plant
ing and harvesting, their records
of experiment for increasing pro
duction and improving the quail.
ty of the crop, their indications of
accurate knowledge and minute in,
terest in the whole world of out
doors, you will feel ashamed to
think how little you have done or
doing with your own small piece
of land-you would hate to have
George Washington come and look
at it. You will be stimulated by
reading those agricultural notes of
his; you will want to do better
work with your own place. And
ii you do not own a piece of land,
his life and his letters will
make you want to own one; it will
give you the healthy interest in
the soil, in birds, and dogs, and |
horses, that perhaps you lack. In
his private capacity, Washington
was great producer; some meas
lre of his productive energy we
should be glad to encourage in our
selves and in our sons.
Thinking of the dollar-trading,
laggling, buying and selling-is
nsepars BILE from the life of the or
iinary American, and it had its
oart in Washington's life, too; but
le did not allow it to usurp the
main place, even when he was
eading the life of private citi
en-. He loved the land, he tried
o understand it and all that grew
nd flourished on it, and he tried
0 make it better and more fruit
I'll.
He would have little patience
yith the slack farmers of today;
e would have still less with those
Jerks and money changers whose
houghts never reach beyond the
ity streets, and whose dream of
chievement is to own a city house
nd a limousine.
To read the quiet records of
Vashington's home life should be
S invigorating to a. thoughtful
oung man as to read the nara
ives of his campaigns and even {
lore useful. {

40, ,000-POUND
COTTON MINIMUM
WITHDRAWN BY R.R.

Proposed railroad rates on cotton
in California, to displace those now
in effect, have been effectually
uuashed, according to information Civ
en- out this afternoon by the Imperial
Valley Long Staple Cotton Growers
Association.
'Last year new rates were pro
posed embodying a 0000-pound min
mum" the secretary of the associa
.tion said "This is practically an inn
possibility, for, assuming that bale
of cotton will average 600 pounds, a
48-foot car will accommodate little
more than 50 bales, making a weight
of 10000 pounds, which falls about
10000 short of the specifications pro
posed by the railroad.
"By carrying the case before the
Interstate Commerce Commission last
year We succeeded in having the pro-
posed rates suspended, but TINS year
they were again revived.
\ "Co operating with us in the fight
to keep the rates unchanged were
the Arizona State Corporations and
the Joint Traffic Bureau at
New Orleans. This morning tele-
gram was received by the associa
ton from the New Orleans Joint
Traffic Bureau at Washington, which
states that under pressure from the
Commission of Railroads the railroads
have withdrawn the 10000 pound
minimum and instead substituted a
10000 pound minimum from Califor-
MIA points to New Orleans"
