FEWER. DRUG ADDIcTs

TN THE fifteen years since the So
L called Harrison law was passed
by congress, many sensational state
ments have appeared from time to
time regarding the number of persons
in the country who We're regular and
habitual users of the so-called mar
cotic drugs. 1t has been claimed that
there were from one to ten million
persons who were victims of these
drug habits and that the number was
increasing. Equally sensational stories
Of the capture of immense quantities
of these drugs, Of the methods by
which they were sold and the enOr-
nous amounts made by these dope
peddlers" have added to the popular
idea that we were in danger of be-
coming nation of drug tiends." Yet
when you ask any individual how
many persons he knows who use any
of these drugs you generally find
that his impressions are gained large
ly from hearSay.
There is and has been for many
years, drug addict problem, but it
is not today and never has been as
great or as widespread as has been
generally believed. In contrast to
the many sweeping statements made
on this subject, let us set a carefully
prepared report Of an official body
of experts.
The conference of state and pro-
vincial health authorities of North
America is yearly gathering made
up of one representative, generally
the executive secretary, from each Of
the state health boards and depart
ments. At their last meeting, COM
mittee on drug addiction reported
that the use of opium and cocaine was
declining. The federal and state laws
restricting their sale were being bet
ter enforced and as result the num-
Der of drug users was being decreased.
Drug addiction, said the committee,
was still serious but not as bad as
had been represented. The most care
full survey made under the United
States public health service, showed
that there were about 10000 persons
in this country who habitually used
opium, morphine, or cocaine, or some
form of cocaine. Herein, the most
dangerous of all the opium prepare
lions, has been practically wiped out
and its manufacture stopped.
So at the worst, less than one-tenth
of one per cent of the people in this
country are narcotic~drug users. This
is one out of thousand.
Physicians do not prescribe as
much as formerly. They do not order
opium as freely. People do not take
is much medicine and dangerous
medicines are not as easy to get as
they were twenty years aga

HOW TO EP
WELL
DR.. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTH"
THEN AND NOW

THOSE of us who write about bet.
= ter health and less disease al
ways have to write with one eye on
the reader and one on the editor. For
we know that unless what we write
gets past the editor it will never get
to the reader. SO it is always not
only very desirable but also absolute
ly necessary to know just what the
editor thinks about all this health
stuff"
Every once in a while, in every
profession, whether it's doctors or
lawyers or ministers or editors, some
body forgets all about professional
prejudices and habits and talks right
out in meeting. And it's always not
only refreshing but also enlighten-
ing, for then you know you're hear
ing the facts just as they appear to
man who knows what he is talking
about.
So when the editor of the Worcester
Gazette frees his mind, you know you
are getting it straight. Here is what
he says:
"Once upon time and not so long
ago:
Everybody drank from the same
glass in a railway coach.
"A roller towel in the hotel wash
room accommodated all corners.
Thousands Of people died every
year from typhoid fever.
"The health officers chief job was to
inspect alleys and back yards for
garbage and dead animals aud to or
der chloride of calcium scattered
about.
"The state board of health existed
principally for the purpose of examin-
ing and licensing physicians.
There were flies in every dining
room.
Nobody took bath until Saturday
night.
Lots of people thought that wearing
asafetida would prevent diphtheria
and smallpox.
"Red flannel underwear was all the
rage.
Consumption was an incurable dis
ease and folks who had it were ad-
vised to drink a great deal Of whisky
or go West, or do BOTH"
Now there isn't single medical
term in this editorial. It's simply the
everyday things the editor has seen
and remembered that are different
now from what they were then and
where any sensible person can see
there has been change for the bet
ter.
What's the reason? Largely, as
Healthy Home suggests, because news
papers are giving increasing space to-
day to information aboGt health and
disease, how to keep one and avoid
the other.

After a spell of Grippe or flu.
when your system is all run down
and your legs are so weak they can
hardly hold up your body, start
right in taking Tanlac.
It's wonderful how soon you
really do improve! Tanlac sails
right in and puts the system in
fighting trim. 1t cleans the blood,
revitalizes the digestive organs,
gives you an appetite for solid food
and makes you feel like new
person.
Nothing will turn the trick quite
as fast as Tanlac, made after the
famous Tanlac formula from roots,
banks and herbs. Buy a bottle to-
day and get started back to full
strength and vigor. Take Tanlac

PHONE HEARING
CONCLUDED

The telephone rate hearing was
concluded today before Chief JUS
tice Mccoy, of the District Supreme
Court, who took the case under
advisement and requested counsel
for both the Cheasapeke and 20.
tomac Telephone Company, and the
Public Utilities Commission TO sub
NIT briefs.
The Commission found that the
fair valuation of the telephone
properties was $1S,575,956. and or
dered a reduction Of the charge for
flat rate service Of rs cents per
month, and an increase in calls on
limited lines from 35 to 40 a month.
The company claimed that the full
value of its properties amounts to
%, 100000 and that the rates adopted
by the commission are confiscatOry.
Attorney George P. Hoover.
counsel for the company, in closing
the argument for the telephone con-
Germ, called the attention % the
court to the fact that the Commits
sion held a hearing in Nav, 1924.
at which it was found that the
rates of the company were not u1-
just or unreasonable. and denied
a petition for reduction Of rates.
1t was claimed by Mr.. Hoover that
the Commission disregarded the evil
dence submitted at the public hear
ing in November, 1924, and that its
finding, respecting the value of the
property, is arbitrary and without
foundation in fact.

DIR. Briggs told last night how
he would live if he had his life TO
live over again. He said he would
refrain FROM thinking or speaking
evil of anybody except in the inter.
est of fairness and truth.
He would not make up his mind
until he had heard both sides. He
would cultivate more the spirit of

FOR
D. c. He ADS
opposed

Unexpected opposition to the
bill to extend the powers Of the
District Commissioners developed
today when the, hearings on the
measure were opened by the
special subcommittee Of the
House District committee.
Representative Frank R. Reid
questioned every section in the
bill and raised opposition to a
majority of them. This action
was taken, it is believed, on the
recommendation of Representative
Martin B. Madden, chairman of
the House Appropriations COM
mittee, who is understood to be
actively opposed to the entire bill.
Williams Sole Witness
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Robert Williams was the only wit
ness today. He explained in detail
the attitude taken by the Commits
SlOn0TS Will #E6RdTu 10 the HEELS
for each provision in the bill.
Each section of this measure
delegates to the District Commits
sioners the power which we feel is
strictly municipal in scope" Mr..
Williams said.
1--WE have felt for many years
that Congress was too much occu
pied with national business to give
time to many district matters. The
Court of Appeals of the District
repeatedly has held that the Com
missioners have such powers as
Congress specifically gives them
and when Congress attempts to
legislate on any municipal matter
it removes from the District Com
missioners any future right to regu-
late or attempt to control such
matters.
Mr.. Williams cited as an example
the attempt of the Commissioners
to order property owners to re-
move snow and ice from the side
walks in front of their property.
The regulation was ruled uncon-
stitutional because Congress had
previously legislated on the matter,
Mr.. Williams said.
Representative Reid strongly OPP
posed the section which would give
the Commissioners power to regu-
late license fees and control varl-
Gus forms of business.
