preston of the results of the strike
said;
1.-THE so-called strike seems TO
have fizzled out. The truth or the
matter is, we were not Interested as
our employees were not members OF
the Commercial Telegraphers' union.
We lost something less than 200 sym

MOUNTAIN CITY MILLS
DEFENDANT in COURT
CHARGE OF SHORT WEIGHT
AND MISBRANDING.
Defense Thinks Weather Re-
sponsible for Short
Weights.

Hearing of the Mountain City Mill
company case was begun Thursday
morning in federal court Repre-
senting. the company were Attorneys
r. II. williams and T. H. Grayson
and witnesses for the company arr
s. II. Campbell, secretary and treas
urer; w. v. Mullen. auditor; F. e.
Mahoney and Will Williams.
Government witnesses are John ].
McManus, food and drug inspector
for territory embracing Georgia,
Florida, North and South Carolina.
He was the first witness introduced
bv the government today and at noon
he was still on the stand. The other
government witness is Clark L.
| Smith.
The milling company is charged in
an indictment of nine counts with
misbranding food products and with
| shortage in weight in 24-pound sacks
| of -four shipped to Savannah. Ca,
! and other southern cities
District Attorney w. T. Kennerly
asked that the seventh count be
withdrawn. This count charged that
the company used adulterated and
watered -four in a shipment to Cas-
| sells e. Co. at Savannah. BY order
OIL IHS COuit thlo Couht was StiANiAS'a
out.
McManus testified that inspection
and weighing of consignment OF
-four, totaling fifty-six bags, to Blu
menthal 6, Son. Savannah, was made
by him and Joseph Galloway, another
government inspector, on March 81.
1917, and by individual weight the
first sixteen bags showed an average
gross weight of about % pounds to
the sack and that the entire lot
showed an average weight of 20
pounds and 10 ounces to the bag.
The average net weight was said by
McManus to be % pounds 80 ounces
per bag, or 2 per cent. shortage on
a bag.
Defense stated that difference In
humidity between Chattanooga and
Savannah had something to do with
the weight and also that possible loss
from bags in shipment might have
had something to do with the short
age. Mr.. McManus stated that he
was careful to select bags which
showed no shortages or leakages, but
admitted that the cars containing the
consignment contained bits of f1oul
lost from the bags.
According to weather bureau fig.
ures, stated McManus, Savannah has
a greater humidity than Chattanoo.
ga. On certain day in March, 1917
at am, the humidity in Savannah
was rs per cent. and at s pm. 74.'
per cent. In Chattanooga for th'
same date and time it was 70 and 6.
per cent, respectively.
A quantity of grits, approximatint
$50 bags, were also inspected ant
weighed by McManus, and he stated
that they, too, showed an average
weight of "a pounds and ID ounces
when they should have weighed 81
pounds. He stated that the percent
age in shortage in these weights wa
1.8 per cent. per bag.
Hearing of the case had onl.
reached this point when Judge E. I

AN INVITATION
TO DOPE FIENDS
Establishment Here Of a
, Clinic SO Consid-
cred.
VIOLATION OF LAW ALSO
Leading Lawyer and Citizen
, Opposed to Plan Suggested
N at Meeting Wednesday.

M The proposed establishment of a
clinic in this city for dope users Is
not only a violation of the law, ac-
cording to a number of leading law
yers, but Is an open invitation for
pvery dope fiend in the United States
to make Chattanooga headquarters.
One lawyer stated Thursday morn
ing that 1t was the very worst thing
Mat could be done outside OF 1t be-
ing a violation of the Harrison mar
cotic law. The law. he says. allows
dope to be given to addicts only for
curative purposes, and the clinic
about to be established Will only
mean the continual giving of dope to
Nose who have to have 1t with no
idea in view or no attempt to cure
.ffem permanently. The attorney
|stated he advised physician who
had been offered position In the
|elinic, to do nothing but write pre-
Hcriptions, and he advised this doc
Tor that he would be violating the
law, for he had no more right TO
Write dope prescriptions from the
Easement Of the city hall than he did

An effort will be made by the
health department of the city OF
Chattanooga TO give medical aid to-
persons addicted to the use of mar
cotic drugs.
While no definite conclusion has
been reached by the city officials and
those representing the federal gov
eminent, a long conference was held
Wednesday afternoon for the pur-
pose OF trying to arrive at some def
mite decision relative to caring for
the large number Of dope fiends."
George G. Draper, internal revenue
agent. states that at present there
are from 800 to 500 dope fiends" in
Chattanooga. Recent decisions of
the United States supreme court have
caused local physicians to cease fur
nishing these persons prescriptions,
which formerly enabled them to Sc
cure the drug required. or supposed
reason 1t is the desire of Commits
sioner Huffaker and other officials
interested in the matter to, arrange
a plan by which the city physician
or some authorized physician be en-
gagged 30 furnish medical aid to these
persons addicted to the use of mar
cotic driigs, and to provide also the
dope" in such cases where it is abb
solutely necessary.
Mr.. Draper also brought out in a
letter to Mr.. Huffaker relative to the
dope" situation in Chattanooga that
quite a number of the drug addiets
at present in this city have come here
from surrounding cities. where this
department has succeeded in restrict
ing the sale of narcotics to mini
mum. They were attracted to this
city on account of being able to Sc
cure the drugs here without very
much trouble.

table physicians to be incurable. IL

Might Cause Death.
Mr.. Draper states that to stop at
once the furnishing OF narcotics TO
such persons would cause a great
deal Of suffering and possibly the
death of a number. He also points
out that quite a number OF persons
here addicted to the use OF narcotics
have lived practically all their lives
In this city. Some of them are heads
Of families and are able to support
them. Some of these persons are In
durable and others are suffering from
incurable diseases.
He explained how the cities OF
Memphis and Atlanta have recently
assumed, through their respective
boards OF health, the responsibility OF
issuing prescriptions for narcotics to
persons addicted to their use. These
boards secure the life history of each
person applying to them. Record is
also made of each prescription issued
and the amount. This information is
compiled on card indexes and 1t Is
possible to ascertain in moment
the full facts of each case. This sys-
tenn enables the physician in. charge
to furnish each case the quantity
which in his opinion the facts de-
mand. G
This is the plan that the authori-
ties wish to carry out in Chatta-
nooga in an effort to. stamp out this
terrible evil.

It is by no means certain that dried
vegetables possess the same nutriment
value as vegetables that have not been
dried. Prof. Philip b. Hawk of Jeffer-
son Medical college, Philadelphia, notes
in Science a phenomenon that was
called to his attention by Charles Den
by of the war trade board and Daniel
Moreau Barringer, which suggests that
some hitherto unsupported structural
change takes place in vegetables when
they are dried.
1t is well known that when dried
vegetables are immersed in water for
a few hours they assure form close
~ resembling that Of fresh vegetables.
Yet if this swollen vegetable be left at
room temperature for from "a TO 36
hours II returns to its dried state, in
other words. fresh vegetable holds
its water much more tenaciously than
does dried vegetable that has been
immersed In water.
