Panaceas, or "cure-alls," so popu-
lar a generation ago have almost
disappeared from interstate traffic
in medicinal preparations, according
to the Food, Drug, and Insecticide
Administration, United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
Enforcement of the Federal food
and drugs act during the last %
years has resulted in POS "cure-alls"
being removed from interstate trade
while countless other "cure-alls"
were voluntarily taken off the mar
ket by their makers.
Allied to the "cure-alls" are the
blood remedies and the kidney and
bladder remedies. They too were
sold as being effective in treating
and curing a wide range of diseases
and ailments. A total of 1872 blood
remedies received the attention of
the food and drug officials, who OBJ
tanned 373 notices of Judgment
against them.
Three hundred remedies for the
general treatment of all kidney and
bladder diseases have been removed
from interstate drug trade. Science
recognizes no general drug cure for
all ailments of the kidneys and
bladder and therefore these rem
edies are deemed misbranded.

Through the generosity of Isaac
w. Bernheim, former resident of
Louisville, KY, that State is to have
13,1OO-acre forest which will be
maintained permanently as a public
recreation park and demonstration
area. Plans for the administration
OF the tract, recently purchased by
Mr.. Bernheim, call for the restora-
ton of the forest through intensive
management, for the maintenance
\ of wild-life sanctuary, and for
Dpublic recreational use.
The tract, located some 25 miles
from Louisville in Bullitt and Nelson
counties, was acquired after an
examination of many properties in
the State. 1t has been cut over and
repeatedly burned over in the past.
and in some parts planting will be
necessary to check erosion and to
restore timber growth of suitable
species. An endowment has been
provided to maintain the forest in
perpetuity. and provision made for
free distribution throughout the
State of trees for reforestation pur-
poses.
1t is expected to become a demon
stration of the possibilities of con-
structive forestry in the State.
Mr.. Bernheim, "a years old, was
born in Baden-Baden, Germany, at
the edge of the famous Black Forest,
which has been regularly producing
timber crops under forestry manage
ment for seven centuries. He came
to Kentucky in 1S4S.

CAPTAIN EXPLAINS SINKING.

NEW ORLEANS, March 26 OP).-The
account of the sinking Of the British
rum schooner I'm Alone, given by the
captain of the sunken ship, formed the
basis today of a report by the British
consul at New Orleans TO Sir Esme
Howard, British Ambassador at Wash
ington.
In his statement the captain said that
at no time was he within the Jurisdic-
ton of the United States and contended
that United States Coast Guardsmen
had exceeded their rights by sinking
his ship last Friday in the Gulf Of
Mexico He characterized the sinking
as one of the most cowardly acts on the
high seas since the submarine warfare.
Coast Guardsmen on the other hand,
said they fired at the schooner within
the 12-nnile limit when the captain re-
fused to let them search the ship for
contraband liquor before they chased
her out into the Gulf and sunk her
with 2,400 cases aboard,

ADAMS FIRST FIXED
DRUG, WIDOW SAYS
Defense Counsel Contends He
May Have Poured Too Much
on Handkerchief.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
HARTFORD, Conn, March 27-Two
possible lines of defense were suggested
today by counsel for Mrs. Olive Adams,
whose husband. Harry E. Adams. Gov
eminent meteorologist, died in his sleep
Saturday.
Adams was found with drug soaked
handkerchief over his face. Mrs.
Adams, the 30-year-old widow, said he
used the drug TO induce sleep. She is
in Jail awaiting the action by the grand
jury in June.
Joseph D. Freedman, counsel for Mrs.
Adams, said it would be possible to bring
forward a number of witnesses to show
that Adams more than once had threat
ened to take his life. He also quoted
Mrs. Adams as saying she saturated the
handkerchief second time so that her
husband might sleep more soundly
through the night and morning because
she wanted to be relieved of him for a
few hours"
He said the defense would raise the
question whether the amount of drug
used by Adams the first time might not
have killed him.
A Buddhist burial service was read
at Adams funeral yesterday by Rev.
Charles Graves, pastor of the First
Unitarian Church. both Adams and his
wife having embraced the Buddhist
faith some years ago.

thinking about his alleged wrongs.
Throughout many years of his at
tempts to gain freedom from the "a
foot wall which incloses Howard Hall,
the criminal insane division of the
asylum, OBrien had no one to help
him. Recently the American Equity
Association became interested in his
case and obtained his temporary re-
lease under habeas corpus proceedings.

society. was permitted by court to pre-
sent O'Briens case.

future beyond searching for his wife
and children. whom he still believes to
be living, the old veteran intends to
take up residence at the United States
