"You are passing law you can't

Representative Madden, of Illinois,
made the same point, urging that the
bill be passed at once, so that Congress
could take up other pressing legislation

Drugless Doctors
Drop "Physician''
For ''Practitioner''
Association Favors Change,
Not Because of Criticism.
but to Get Rid of the Old
Fashioned Term

ATLANTIC CITY, July 19.-Members
Of the National Association of Drug
less Physicians voted unanimously at
their convention here to-day to change
the name of the organization to "the
National Association of Drugless Prac-
titioners." They made the change, it
was explained, not because of the crit
icism Of the American Medical Society
and other organizations of physicians
but in caustic contempt Of the old
fashioned term physician"

tempt, however, the drugless practi-

would be fought even to the Supreme
Court of the United States, DR.. Carver
himself announced.

through an appeal to the United States
Supreme Court" he said, Chat this
country is not ruled by medical oil
garchy so narrow in it's prejudices that
it Immediately brands as an impostor
and charlatan every person who dis
SCENTS professionally from it's teach
ings."
The extent to which the drugless
practitioners have outdistanced their
drug-using rivals was indicated by a
definition of sickness formally adopted
and promulgated by the convention.
Sickness, said the drugless practtion-
ers, was merely functional abnormality,
and what was needed was not drugs
but recovery. This is the way they
put it:
sickness arises from disassociation
Of the normal functions Of the body,
through causes from without or within.
Disability of tissues produces disease
What Is needed is not drugs, surgery
or healing, but a restoration Of the
original harmonious bodily conditions"
Officers were elected to-day, and it
was decided to hold next years con-
vention in New York.

Says Democrats Ask
2 Per Cent of Salaries
Postoffice Worker Accuses Com.
mittee of Imposing Tax
on EMPLOYEES

Special Correspondence
PHILADELPHIA, July 19.-The Dem
ocratic State Committee is trying to
induce Federal employees in Philadel-
phia to pay 2 per cent Of their annual
salaries into the state treasury of the
Democratic party.
This was brought to light to-day
when it was found that Postoffice clerks
and other Federal employees in this city
had received letters signed by Warren
Van Dyke, Democratic state secretary
asking for funds
One of these letters was turned over
to "The Public Ledger" by an indig-
nant Postotfice employee. The letter
contains the customary appeal for
funds "to put under way programme
which the Federal employees "need have
no hesitancy in going alorg on" The
nature of the programme is not stated
in the letter.
But there is no doubt left in the
mind of the Federal employe as to
what he is expected to contribute to
the state committee. At the lower left
hand corner of each letter this amount
is written In blue pencil. In each case
it amounted to 2 per cent of the re-
cipient's annual salary.
In the case of the letter revealing
the plan the recipient gets $1,4O0 a
year. And so in the lower left hand
corner the blue pencil inscription read
1928" Some of the assessments ran as
high as $40.
Postoffice employees are indignant
that they should be urged to break the
national civil service law. which spe-
officially prohibits the participation of
any Federal employee in politics of any
kind.

announced that as soon as possible the
organization intended to establish a
clinic and laboratory for the study of
drug addiction.
Whether such an institution would
be permitted by law he could not tell.
DR.. S. T. Silverman, president of the
society," said there were other things
about the new laws that no physician
could be sure of. The Health Depart
ment, he said, was prescribing fifteen
grains a day for drug victims, while
private physicians prescribing that
amount had been arrested by Federal
agents. The society is to have public
