THINK MEDICINE RULE
BARRIER TO REMEDIES
Attorneys for Drug Firms OPP
pose Adding TO Power
Of Doctors.

Inquiry has been made by the on,
Paint aud Drug Reporter into the cause
Of the movement to test the Board of
Health's ordinance requiring the regis
tration of the active ingredients Of all
proprietary medicines. Three members
of the Proprietary Association of Amer
lea have applied to the Supreme Court
for a temporary injunction against the
enforcement of the ordinance.
The attitude Of Cadwalader. Wicker
sham & Taft Of 40 wall street, attor-
neys for the three firms. as given in the
Reporter. is that any law neactcd far ths
protection OF the public against the inn
position OF INSCRIPTIONS concerns will

turers.
The Proprietary Association. how
ever the attorneys assert. will oppose
any legislation which can serve no pur-
pose other than to prevent the public
from procuring such simple remedies as
they may desire without first obtaining
the consent Of the physicians SO to do.
'tn the city of New York there are
a large number Of manufacturers of

their places OF business here. Fifty

ably 60 per cent. or more of the business

FARMERS WARNED
OF POTASH FAMINE
Sec'y Houston Urges Them
to Conserve Their Fertilizer
for Coming Year.
DEEP ~PLOCGHING URGED

wAsHiNGroN. Jan. 2.--Secretary
Houston issued a warning to-day to
American farmers 10 conserve their
fertilizer supply. The Secretary pointed
out that the European war has cut of
all im%portations OF potash. one OF the
CHIEF cOmponents OF every commercial
fertilizer. and hat the supply in this
country is now exhausted.
Before American capital can be organ
ICED to produce sufficient potash for the
fertilizer trade. he says. this years crops
will he planted and harvested. II the
crops are to be u success much must
he done by the farmers along the lines
of conserving their fertilizer supply to
make their crops a success.
1t Is the fear OF the Secretary and
other officials of the Department that
the lack OF potash may result in a re-
s,ricted harvest. particularly Of grains.
and not only Increase the prices Of farm
products to the consumer. but materially
decrease the amount hat can be con-
stunned.
In discussing the situation Mr.. Hous-
ton said:
While potash Is Indispensable In the
preparation OF fertilizers 1t Is also used
for many other purposes, including the
manufacture OF matches. glass. liquid
soap and munitions. The prices offered
under existing conditions by the manu-
faCturers of such articles undoubtedly
will cause practically the entire output
90 these concerns TO be diverted from the
fertilizer industry.
at seems unlikely hat normal con-
ditions will he restored In the immediate
future ami that potash can be secured
from foreign sources as heretofore in
time for the next crop planting season.
II also seems improbable that private
enterprise will provide potash from do
mestic sources for agricultural purpose
In time.
cit would require ninety or more
plants. costing approximately $4,000
each. and having IN operating capital OF
about $25 900 each. to produce the guam
tity needed for agriculture. This would
involve the assumption that the COM
mercial phases OF the problem were
satisfactorily solved.
TN the unusual conditions existing
IN me fertilizer tradei II is important that
all.fertilizing materials on the farm. es-
pecially those collecting potash. should
he conserved. The fertilizer ingredients
already existing In the soil should be
utilized and developed to the fullest eN-
tent. A great deal can he accomplished
IN this direction by deep ~ploughing. con-
slant cultivation and thorough tillage.
There should he a proper system OF
rotation. Especially where one crop has
been grown for several years a different
one should be planted this year"
