FIREMEN'S CARNIVAL
CLOSED LAST NIGHT
WITH GREAT SUCCESS
Rescue Hose Gives Last Night For
Hospital Benefit And Realizes
Neat Summary Prizes Won

After a most successful run of over
week, rain having interfered on two
nights of the first week causing a
repetition OF the carnival last night
and the night previous, the flremen's
carnival for the benefit of Rescue
Hose Fire Company came to a close
last night.
The success of the carnival is great
er than even the most ardent worker,
amnOg the women, dared to hope for
but details as to figures, will not be
given out until few days later, when
all returns are made. Certain 1t is,
however. that the candy table alone,
sided SO successfully with her able
corps of helpers, realized over $500 on
the sale of candy, and the cake table
is said to have realized some $500.
This Is a remarkable showing, but is
only a suggestion of other depart
ments of the carnival, which owes its
success to the splendid management
of the ladies in charge and their ear
nest, hearty cooperation, and the uni
yersal willingness to work
Last night was Hospital Night"
and the patronage was generous. A
good sum was realized, the details to
be announced later
Many prizes were won last night
and the interest in this prize booth"
was particularly keen. The suit of
clothes was won by W. e. Laurence,
who held No S26. The suit was do
mated by the Chattle Hopkins Co.,
clothiers.
II was with pronounced success that
the Rescue Hose carnival came to a
close, and the result is most encourag-
ing. Throughout the carnival the pat
ronage was most generous, and citi-
zens and visitors took keen interest
in all departments of the carnival
therby proving that the average Am

at reasonable cost.

SAY NO
LOCAL DRUG ADDCTS
End Of Supply Here Came With
Federal Act Several
Years Ago
REPORT FROM DOCTORS

With the great amount of talk that
has arisen recently regarding the use
morphine and other drugs in cities
of the United States, it is interesting
to learn something of the position of
Annapolis on the dope" question.
In Baltimore there have been sew
ueral suicides within the past few
weeks. since the supply of drugs was
cut off by rigid enforcement Of the
laws regulating their sale, and many
persons are under treatment. There
have been no such tragedies in this
city, and the reasons for this, as stat
ed by medical men who have been
questioned regarding it, are several.
To begin with, there are no confirm
say that when the Pure Foods and
Drugs Act, of June 80, 1906, became
effective. there were at that time a
few users of laudanum in Annapolis.
1t will be remembered that previous
to that time there was practically no
restriction on the sale of this drug,
which is tincture of opium. Nearly
every store sold il in small quantities,
and there was nothing to prevent any
one from acquiring the habit of its
use or obtaining all they wanted
So far as Annapolis is concerned
laudanum was about the only drug
to the use of which many people we're
addicted When the supply was stop
ped by law the users were forced to
do without it. 1t is probable that
their cure was much easier than that
of others who have become used to
stronger forms of narcotics. But there
has been no great opportunity for
anyone to form the. habit, and the city
| has remained practically free from
! drug addicts Only one doctor of the
.city reported a knowledge Of any user
lof drugs in Annapolis, and that case,
| he said, was one. of a woman who used
lit to such a slight extent that she
probably did not consider herself an
saddict, although she would be regard
led by physicians as having the habit.
Another reason for the good condi-
ttiOn here in regard to this vice, is the
Efact that both doctors and druggists
lhave a greater personal knowledge OF
their patrons n<larger cities there
Eare always found doctors who are will
ling TO prescribe drugs, and they have
lhad the patronage OF many addicts
ssince it was first made impossible for
them to satisfy their cravings by
lother means than prescription. The
druggists in a smaller place, cannot
he so easily worked with repeated
IcalIs for narcotics.
Withal Annapolis might be said to
he entirely free from persons who have
sformed drug habits.

HEALTH CONDITIONS
IN COUNTY ARE GOOD,
SAYS DOCTOR MURPHY
Season For Return Of Flu" But
Only One Mild Case
Reported
ALSO LESS TYPHOID

In commenting today on the condi-
Ition of heath among people Of the
county, Dr. J. j. Murphy. health officer
for Anne Arundel, stated today that
the number Of cases of typhoid this
summer has heen much lower than
during the corresponding months last
year. Only seven cases have been re-
ported during the past month.
In answer TO special inquiry con-
corning the possibility of a return of
an influenza epidemic this autumn. DR.
Murphy said that so far only one case
has been reported. 1t is impossible
10 tell what chances there are for an
other epidemic Lut there does not
seem TO he need for alarm. The opin-
ion Of least one prominent doctor of
the country, as given in statement to
the press few days ago, is that the
flu has disappeared as a widespread
malady, and that we need have no
further fear of it's return and cause
such fatalities as last season.
AS compared with the same months
last year the number OF deaths re-
ported has been much lower this sea
son. DR.. Murphy explained that a part
OF this could lie accounted for in the
loss of territory by annexation, hut
that even after making allowances for
this, the mortality rate has been from
itteen TO twenty per cent. lower
The statement is pleasing one, par
ticularly in regard to the low number
of cases of typhoid, the most danger
ous disease that is common during the
summer months.
