military service and that many put
themselves in the way of contagious
diseases and other ills which will de-
'stroy their usefulness for military
duty. Others shoot off their thumbs

means wherewith. may be judged by
the letter received recently by Hall &
Fairweather, as follows:
Enclosed herewith, please find ex-
press order for $3.50. Kindly send nae
by parcel post or express, dulse
enough to cover amount, deducting
proper charges. l would like to have
new crop of dulse, if you have any,"
The firm will fill the order, but no
new dulse is yet to be had. Dulse US
ually sells at from eight to ten cents
per pound so that the quantity which
the net amount of the money order
would purchase will fill an ordinary
two bushel sack. In fact it might be
found convenient to send it in bale.
Under certain conditions it is not even
sociable. Dulse wrapped in a parcel
has peculiar way of making its pres
ence felt what the merchant really
said was "smelt."
In order to make its long journey
without attracting undue notice from
various boards of health, it will have
to be packed in a metal box, the addi-
tional charges made necessary thereby
considerably reducing the purchasing
power of the $3.50 The former New
Brunswicker will get his dulse but
did he personally invest like amount
in st. John he would have to hire a
dray to convey his purchase home.

The Harrison Drug Law.
Indianapolis News, June 81


The Harrison drug act, which made
it unlawful for any person not regis
tered under the law to have forbidden
narcotics in his possession, has been
interpreted by the federal supreme
court as applying only to those who
deal in drugs, and not those who use
them The decision is a severe disap
pointment to those who were instru
mental in having the law enacted.
President Wilson signed this act De-
cember Il, 1914. 1t became effective
March l, 1915. The real object of the
law was not, of course, to expose vic
TINS, but to deprive them of the drugs
which were working their ruin. The
law sought to punish the vicious deal
err in opium, and to prevent its dis
tribution. The supreme courts inter-
probation takes away from the law
about half of its force.
The Harrison law was framed along
lines similar to the New York state
law, known as the Boylan act, which
imposes penalties on the drug seller
and also the drug user for any viola =
ton. Under this law it is illegal to
cept on authority of prescription or
recognized registration to sell. Ac-
cording to Charles B. Towns of New
York, who helped to prepare both Boy
Ian and Harrison acts, the supreme
court decision is of far-reaching eff
feet. Under this ruling" he says, n
user of narcotics may have a barrel
of poisonous and habit-forming drugs
in his possession without being sub
ject to personal liability to the law, or
even to tell where he obtained the
drugs. While the state law covers
this point in New York, it opens the
way in other states for return of the
old abuses and makes it easy for the
user to continue the habit. 1t is a
very serious conflict with the pro-
visions of the New York state law"
Few states. besides New York, have
laws covering this point, and even #
they had, enforcement. in the light
of the supreme court ruling, might be
difficult. OF course, the Harrison law
still provides for a rigid supervision of
the dealers in drugs. But experience
has shown that victims of narcotics do
not always obtain the drugs from pub
lie dealers. Illicit trade in opium Is as
old as the traffic in the drug itself. Mr.
Towns declares that smuggling is not a
possibility, it is a fact. Opium and
other narcotics purchasable without
regulation in Canada" he says, ARE
easily struggled across the wide and
unprotected border" Smuggling Of
narcotics from Cuba and Porto Rico is
also carried on internationally. Gus
toms officials frequently discover at
tempts by the Chinese.

Color Of the Dandelion

(Wayfarer in Pennington JournaD
What color is thee dandelion-th
composite weed that today is dotting
our fields and lawns? Is it yellow or
orange, or saffron or gold? 1t is really
not one of these but combination of
all. 1t is golden orange yellow. as near
as one can describe it, but it's general
effect is that of golden yellow. might
it not be called dandelion- yellow. The
dandelion is one of the toughest plant
propositions with which human be-
ings have to deal. Charles Dudley
Warner in "My Summer in a Garden"
lamented the omni- presence of pur-
slane, but the dandelion is a close
second, and let it once get in your
lawn and you may dig most indie
fatigably without destroying results.
Deep. very deep the stocky bitter root
penetrates where neither heat nor
draught affects it, nor where insects
break through and steal. Cut off the
top, even below the ground and sew
eral plants will likely sprout from
what remains. In fact such treatment
seems to stimulate it's propagation.
The dandelion knows no special home.
It Is found in all climates in the civ
ilized world. Not a chance does 1t
lose to get on" Following it's flower
ing it looks like a bud, which soon
rises in the shape of a gobular mass
Of almost airy nothingness. Every
breeze that blows, the little child's
breath, the lawn mower, the bird
building it's nest from the fluffy ball,
all these combine to SOW the seed in
remote and unexpected regions. In
hay used for packing it travels to for
eign lands where it easily adapts 1T
self to all conditions. Wherever 1t
grows it is known by some equiv
alent of the name dent-de Lion, lions
tooth, which the Jagged edges of the
leaves suggest.

Various Forms
OF Headache

ut Is necessary in order to treat head
aches properly to understand the causes

Der that headache Is to be treated accord
ing to the same rule. We must not only be
particular to give remedy intended to
counteract the cause which produces the
headache. but we must also give remedy
to relieve the pain until the cause OF the
trouble has been removed. To answer this
purpose, anti-kamnia tablets will be found
q most convenient and satisfactory remedy.
One tablet every one to three hours gives
comfort and rest in the most severe cases
OF headache, neuralgia and particularly the
headaches of women"
When we have patient subject to regular
attacks of sick headache, we should caution
him to keep his bowels. regular. for which

he feels the least sign of an oncoming at

tablets are prompt in action and can be
depended on to produce relief in q very
few minutes. Ask for AK Tablets.

RULES OF HEALTH
FOR DYSPEPTICS
DIETING UNNECESSARY

There are two ways by which people
who suffer from indigestion, dyspepsia,
sour stomach, fiatulenCe, etc, can over
come the trouble. First, as practically all
cases of the above are directly or in
directly traceable to acdity and fermen-
tation. they can eliminate from their diet
all foods which ferment and form acid,
such as all starches and sugar and foods
containing them. thus prohibiting bread,
potatoes, fruits and most meats. About
spinach and small quantities of white
meat of chicken or turkey. This diet Is
almost a starvation one, but it is some
, times quite effective. The second way,
which appeals especially to those who
like to eat hearty meals of good foods. is
to eat whatever is reasonably digestihle,
neutraliZe the acid and stop fermentation
by the use of good antacid such as bis
urated magnesia, a teaspoonful of which
in a little water Immediately after eating
or whenever pain is felt, instantly neu-
traliZes the acid, stops the fermentation
and permits the stomach to do its work
without pain or hindrance. Owing to its
simplicity, convenience and effectiveness
this latter plan is now being adopted, in
stead of the old fashioned. expensive,
weakening starvation process. In this
connection it is interesting to note that
since the widespread use of bisurated
magnesia was established, many drug
gsts have arranged to supply it in gr
tablets or of which are equivalent to n
teaspoonful of the powder form and are
much more convenient to Carry.-Adv.

The reward of labor is in steady en-
ployment and increased wages. What
had the Democratic party to do with
this huge increase in the export Of
leather products? And yet they are
flooding the country with campaign

prosperity we now enjoy from war

Halibut Threatened
Toronto Globe)

Halibut fisheries in British Columbia
are reported in danger of depletion The
yield is now second only to that of the
salmon in the coast fisheries. During
1914 the quantity landed at Canadian
ports was over 64,000,00O pounds, and
it is expected that the record for the
last year will be slightly greater. These
years show a marked decrease over the
total of 55,o00,O00 pounds in 1913 The
advance is said to be due mainly to the
adoption of more effective methods of
fishing, and to the better profits obtain
ed through facilities for preserving
shipping and marketing Cold storage
and refrigerator cars make it possible
to place the catch of the northern Pa
cific fresh on the markets of Califor-
mia, and the cities Of the east in Can
ada and the United States.
More information is necessary re-
garding the special circumstances Of the
Pacific coast before effective means of
protection can be devised. The hair
seal is suspected of being among the
destroyers. A government bounty for
destruction, established chiefly as
means of protecting the salmon, has led
to the destruction of many seals. It is
claimed that only about one In five shot
in the water is recovered to make
claim for the bounty. Sea lions are also
destructive. AS they herd on known
islands during their breeding season
systematic means can keep them in
check. Methods Of fishing may some
day need regulation.
Although a bottom fish, and keeping
in comparatively deep water. the hall
but come to the shadows to spawn. The
government is alive to the importance
of the industry. and signs Of serious
depletion should prompt immediate ef
forts toward protective measures.

Lessons from German Industry.

Statements made by members Of the
present national administration fire.
Quently need considerable elucidation
before they become fully reliable as a
guide to the American student Of eco
.nomic problems. For example, Ed
ward N. Hurley. vice chairman of the
Federal Reserve Board, said in a recent
address:
THE German steel industry has
few, II any, equals in effective
organization. 1t offers a typical
example Of how efficient industrial
organization and cooperation, as
sisted by government. may sue
coed in building up large national
industry shipping its products to
all parts Of the world"
listen to this from the pages of Mod
ern Germany" a book written by J.
Ellis Barker, an English writer Of high
Tepute:
In the present age Of steel, the
production Of steel is perhaps the
best index to a nations manufac-
turing eminence. In 1880. the year
following the introduction of pro-
lection into Germany, Germany
produced but 624,41S tons of steel,
whilst Great Britain produced L.
3l1,6s0 tons Of steel. In 1906 Ger
many produced 11.135,ooo tons Of
steel, whilst Great Britain pro-
duced only 6,462,ooo tons Of steel.
In other words, Germany and
Great Britain have changed
places"
A similar story is told in our own
Industrial history. In 1895, the nrst
full year of the Wilson-Gorman DEM
