SUFFERERS WRITE
TODR. HAISELDEN
FORDEATH DRUGS

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-Hopeless and
helpless sufferers are seeking deliver
ance from a man who has defed the
commandment, Thou shalt not kill"
This man is DR.. Harry ]. Haiselden.
of Chicago, who has attained interna-
tIonal fame through his advocacy of
etthanasia-painless killing OF mental
and physical detectives through ad-
ministration Of drugs. He put his
ideas into execution in the Baby Boil
linger and Baby Hodzima cases. The
former died; the latter has been tenn
porarily withdrawn from the doctors
treatment because its parents were
frightened by death threats.
But the theories of DR.. Haiselden
have spread throughout the nation,
and hundreds OF persons suffering
from incurable diseases or stricken
with poverty have appealed TO him
for relief from their misery. Scores
of such letters are being received by
the doctor daily, he said today.
The "relief" they seek is IN all
cases the same-death.
Here is q letter from an aged PhilA-
delphia woman:
IT read in a paper OF your wonder
full God-given drugs wnicn relieve
pain and remove the horrors Of death.
I have suffered so much for years that
I have wondered what q blessing II
would be to be put out OF my misery.
I'm only q burden to my friends"

LATIN NATIONS TO

The State Department and Latin
American diplomatic corps have be-
fore them for consideration today the
suggestion OF John Barrett. director
of the Pan-American advisory council
to combat German propaganda in the
Western Hemisphere and coordinate
the war aims OF the American re-
publics.
1t is proposed by Mr.. Barrett that
a small group of men in the United
States familiar with Latin-American
conditions be formed. The power of
appointing such a council would lie
with President Wilson, but the Presi-
dent would act on the recommenda-
ton Of the State Department. The
wishes OF Latin-America's diplomatic
corps would be considered, to avoid
any conflict with Pan-Americanism or

ing to render an account of it's stew
ardship to the American people in the
most effective manner possible. It is

FISH UTILIZED
BY CANADIANS
BY Charles Davidse Hemmlng.


In reply to a letter inQuiring how
food stuffs were regulated in Canada,
Victor Ross, financial editor Of the
Toronto Globe states the Food Control
Ter, w j. Hanna, has materially de-
creased the consumption Of exportable
food products, such as bacon. beef, and
white flour by the introduction Of sub
stitutes for the foods.
Sunday was Food Conservation day
in the churches here and this is Food
Saving week, so it may be interest
ing to know that the Canadian Food
Controller sometime ago arranged for
a daily shipment of sea fish by express
trains from both oceans to the center
of Canada, and has placed under con-
troll the fisheries in the great inland
lakes of Canada. The result has been
an enormous increase in the consump-
ton of fish.
Meatless and wheatless days are
generally observed, writes Ross A ty-
pical action of the controller was the
regulation which eliminates the waste
in packages of breakfast foods. cere-
ais, and cereal products, prohibiting

special cases the Canadian Food Con

packages If necessary in the interest
Of the public.
A fine of not less than ten dollars
and not exceeding five hundred dollars

ceeding six months, or both fine and

tions of the new regulation.

WouId-be subway guard practicIng
on one Of the cars of the B. r. T.
NEW YORK. Oct. 26-Women here
have usurped the places of men in a
new line of work. Girls are in train
ing as guards in the subway.
Officials Of the B. r. T. have prom
ised that within a few days they will
have fifty of them working as guards
on the trains operated over the Fourth
avenue tracks in Brooklyn And it
won't be long before another fifty and
then another and another will join
them, until the old warning Watch
your step!" will no longer be shouted
in stern tones by gruff-throated
guards, but shrilled down the platform
in soprano voices. And even the most
weary Brooklynite hurrying home or
officeward cannot resent being order
ed to watch his step when he is asked
to do so by charming girl who be-
slows on him smile as she calls out
the warning.
The women will receive the same
wages as the men guards at present
employed on the B. R. T. subway
Their work will not call for any great
manual labor, as the doors of the sub
way cars are air operated and it is
possible for the guards to open and
close them by merely pressing
buttons.
The first fifty girls are devotine
most of their training hours to mem
oriZing the names of stations along
the route OF the subway and toward
