man OF the meeting, spoke on the League
OF Nations last night In the auditorium
of Public School CO, at Hester and Essex

much of his former rotundity and per-
haps this fact may have accounted for
Mr.. Feinsods seeming uncertainty in
the matter of names. He Is n member
OF the public welfare committee of the
Community club, 265 Grand street, I'M

Side. He believes. lie said. that every
thing possible should be done to ac-
quaint jewellers there with the more sa-
lient facts OF American history and to
instill in them respect for American in
stitutions.
Mr.. Taft, who went over the proposed
League OF Nations covenant in detail,
, said that opposition TO It was unworthy

or some man he doesn't like will get

based upon the fear that Il would be a

physician. who has treated more than

clan. the addict usually bought his sup
ply from n street pedlar and was lucky

one grain of heroin or some other mar
cotic. Tho stun sold by pedlars was
| composed largely Of sugar Of milk. Ad
diets formed a habit OF q mild charac
ter under this system. Under presen
conditions, when addicts get their drug
on prescriptions. they may obtain 10(
| per cent. doses with a fearful resul
on their constitutions and with tn
| chance Of a permanent cure nearly hope
| less"
| Official records show that certain ply
sicians have a practice of giving pre-
scriptions for a daily allowance OF 81
to 80 grains of heroin and to 10 grains
| Of cocaine. Physiological tests hav'
shown that the daily need OF the av
erage heroin addict is one-half grair
and of cocaine addicts. 2 grains.
