FEDERAL DRUG ACT
Supreme Tribunal Decides
"Person" Applies to Dealer
In, Not User Of, Opium.

The Supreme Court of the United
States today Interpreted the Harrison
federal drug &C. of 1914, making it un-
lawful for amy person not registered
under the law to have in his possession
opium. as applying only to those who
deal in the drug and not to those who
use it,
Government officials have declared
that this Interpretation of the law
would ruin the effectiveness of the
measure to large extent. Scores of
proposed prosecutions throughout the
country had been held up awaiting to-
days decision
The court announced its decision in
the case of jim Fuzzy Moy of Philadel-
phla. who was indicted for alleged con-
splracS to violate the drug act. The
federal district court of western Penn
sylvania annulled the Indictment on
the ground that the word person" in
the law referred back to the persons
who are required to register and pay
special tax in order to deal in opium
and there was no allegation in the
indictment that the opium in question
was to be dealt i'll. The decision of
the district court was affirmed

By JOSEPH p. AMIN.

Opposition Of citizens Of the District

appropriation for a municipal hospital on
any site at this session Of Congress,
4his Is the view Of those close 70 the

II is declared that the opposition has

any good rea son why the hospital should
not be located on the big Upshur street
site, which was purchased for that pur-
pose. which embraces approximately
fourteen acres. and where the Tubercu-
losis Hospital has been built without pro

WHAT DYSPEPTICS
SHOULD EAT
A PHYSICIANS ADVICE.

indigestion and practically all forms
OF stomach trouble are. inc times out of
zen. due to acidity; therefore stomach
sufferers should, whenever possible
avoid eating food That is acid in its ma
lure, or which by chemical action in the
stomach develops acidity. Unfortunately
such rule eliminates most foods which
are pleasant to the taste as well as those
which are rich in blood, flesh and nerve
building properties. This is the reason
why dyspeptics and stomach sufferers
are usually so thin. emaciated and lack
ing in that vital energy which can only
come from a well fed body.
For the benefit of those sufferers who
have been obliged to exclude from their
dlet all starchy, sweet or fatty food, and
are trying to keep up a miserable exist
ence on gluten products. I would suggest
that you should try a meal of any food or
foods which you may like. in moderate
amount. taking Immediately afterwards a
teaSpoonful Of bisurated magnesia in a
little hot or cold water. This will nell
tralize any acid which may be present
or which may be formed, and instead of
the usual feeling Of uneasiness and full
ness, YOU will find that your food agrees
with you perfectly.
Il known of nothing better than plain
oisurated magnesia as a food corrective
and antacid- 1t has no direct action
on the stomach; but by neutralizinR the
acidity of the food contents, and thus re-
moving the source of the acid irritation
which inflames the delicate stomach lin
ing, II does more than could possibly be
done by any drug or medicine.
As a physician believe in the use of
medicine whenever necessary, but I must
admit that l cannot see the sense of
dosing an inflamed and irritated stomach
with drugs instead of getting rid of the
acid-the cause of all the trouble. Get a
little bisurated magnesia from your drug
g1st, eat what you want at your next
meal. take some OF the bisurated mag
nesia as directed above, and see IL I'm
not right"-Adv "
