New York, April 9-(By Union As
ISOLATED Freshly reason of n odd
wrinkle in the National League sched-
uie New York fans will not have an
opportunity of seeing the Giant reg
ulars in action on the Polo Grounds
until April 20, after they have played
series in Boston and Brooklyn. Com
ing North from Marlin the team plays
its final exhibition game of the trip in
Ind annapolis today ard will then jump
direct to Boston, where it will open
the season with the Braves. Thus the
team viii be required to take the field
against a formidable opponent on the
heels of a long journey through the
bush" towns.
Jack Dillon has been matched to
meet Jack McCarron at the Coliseum,
Toledo, Ohio, tonight. McCarron has
been training for the mill with Frank
lie Murphy and expects to entertain
Dillon in a lively manner
Joe Bonds says he isn't the least
discouraged by his Knockout by Tom
Cowler, which he says was through a
lucky punch, and he is going right
back to the task of fighting his way up
the pugi1istic ladder. Arrangements
have been made for him to box Andre
Anderson at Baltimore tonight. An
derson stopped Jack Simms there the
other night.
Ted Kid Lewis, who is waging way
against the welterweights, meets
Johnny Gritfths for Is rounds at Co.
lumbus, Ohio, tonight, while New Or
'eans fans will have the pleasure OF
seeing Johnny Conlon and Bobbie
Hughes in action at the Louisiana
Club. The bout is for ten rounds.
Despite the "cockiness" shown by
some Americans because Uncle Sam
has carried off the rifle shooting
championship now and then. there's
no nation on the face of the earth
than can shoot with the Swiss. The
answer is just the anne as that for
the secret of the superior physical
and mental equipment of the Swiss
army recruit-intensive training.
Jack Barry, manager of the Red
5ox, may direct the affairs of the
worlds champions from the bench a
y~reater part of the time this year.
Barry still is a splendid second base
nan, but he seems to have lost his
batting eye. Janvrin, who played Sec
ond base superbly after Barry's wrist
was broken last summer, is a stronger
hitter than the Boston manager, and
also a faster runner. Barry is 80
years old and Janvrin is rs. Perhaps
the leader Of the Red Sox will give
way on that account.
Pacifsts or no pacifsts, there is 60
ing to be war this year whenever the
Phils and Giants clash. Moran's men
have not forgotten October, 1916, just
like the Belgian has not forgotten Lou
vain.
If last season the Athletics were
buns, NUTS, bunglers, ~fatheads, duff
fers, blunderers, swabs, galoots and
bones, this year they look like stars,
masters, birds, daisies, top-liners,
u%nbeatables, experts and g%eniuses.

GOD GAVE US WILSON.

The clock of fate has struck an awful
hour,
We stand aghast at clouds that darkly
lower;
Our nation rocks with passions nigh
ty power;
For such a time of doubt and tragic
hour,
God gave us Wilson!
The times demand the bravest manly
heart;
A mind as clear as Grecian's truest
art.
We need a chief to do a hero's part;
A man of finest brain and stoutest
d. heart
God gave us Wilson!
The nation needs a leaders highest
skill,
To raise all hearts to patriotic trill,
And fill each soul with victor's thrill,
To organize the nationals fighting
skill
God gave US Wilson!
We need the strength of wisdom's
guiding hand,
To conquer peace to fit the worlds
demand,
And lead the warning world to peace
full strand;
For such a task we have a guiding
hand
God gave US Wilson!

1t IS my own personal opinion that
there is hardly anything more delicious
in flavor than rightly made toast That
Is, granting the one who tastes il has a
normally healthy appetite, unjaded bv
late suppers and highly seasoned re-
freshments-and providing too that it is
winter when the warmth and the rich
fund of suggestions contained in the
mere name of toast are welcome. Some
how In the very aroma of toasted bread
there are all sorts of suggestions of
cracking fires, beds of red Goals, long
two-tlned toastng forks and domestic
cheer. For toast is something that
must be made at home. The most fash
ionable hotel kitchen cannot compete
with the humblest fireside when II
comes to making toast and all sorts of
modern electrical devices cannot make
better toast than the good old-fash-
toned sort that was Drowned over a he'd

At a buffet luncheon I attended not

The Drug=Using Habit and
How It Can Be Restricted

Washington, Jan. 9.--1n connection
with proposed amendments to the
Harrison Narcotic Law which are to
be considered by Congress. Charles B.
Towns of New York, an authority on
drug legislation. urges that Con-
gress empower President Wilson to
appoint a committee to investigate the
whole subject of federal responsibility
in the solution of the habit forming
drug problem. Devoting a twenty
page pamphlet to '.he information of
Congress" Mr.. Towns declares that
the findings of such Il Federal com
mittee would help the various states
to arrive at a uniform solution of the
drug problem, and would establish a
Legislative, medical and sociological
precedent that would give this coun-
try for the first time the prmacy it
ought to have in asking other coun-
tries to join with us once and for all
in terminating this evil"
My findings have shown" said Mr..
Towns, that not more than ten per
cent of those afflicted with the drug
habit are entitled to use drugs con-
tinuously because Of physical disabil-
ity. We are sacrificing ninety per cent
of those who could be well and normal
without the drug to alleviate suffering
of some few incurable persons"
Among many loopholes in the pres
ent laws MIR. Towns pointed out that
a drug taker or any person purporting
to be a drug taker can at present have
just as many physicians prescribing a
narcotic for him as he may see fit to
have, and he may demand just as
much of the drug as he chooses to
take.
The doctor does not have to find
out whether or not the patient is a
confirmed drug takcr: he can take the
mans word for it and prescribe just
what the patient asks for. A few
such patients could practically corner
almost the entire habit forming drug
market and. if they wanted TO do So,
could establish themselves in the
habit forming drug business"
After pointing ont the extent to
which many so-called patent medi-
cines and "propretaries" are RESPONSE
BILE for the growth of drug addiction,
Mr. Towns suggested that one solu-
ton of the drug problem might be to
restrict the manufacture, sale, pre-
scribing and administering of opiates
strictly to crude opium, to laudanum
and paregoric, and to hold the physi-
clan to astrict accounting of all these
