OFFICIALS WARN AGAINST
NERVE "REMEDIES"

UnWise use of "nerve medi-
cines" may seriously injure a
patient, since continued dosing
with many such articles finally
causes depression and despond-
ency, states DR.. F. J. Cullen,
chief of drug control, Federal
Food and Drug Administra-
ton. Most so-called nerve
tonics" and nerve remedies"
contain sedatives, VIII i C h,
though they may quiet the ner-
YES, are habit-forming. The
patient, says Doctor Cullen,
usually takes larger and larger
doses to allay pain or induce
sleep. The "remedies" are not
cures. Instead they have a
depressing effect on all the Wit
al organs.
Government agents recently
destroyed a shipment of a So
called NERVE tonic" manufac-
tured by a Worcester, Mass,
company. The article was
misbranded under the Federal
food and drugs act because it's
label carried false and fraudu-
lent remedial claims for many
nervous disorders.
The national food and drug
law requires that the presence
of alcohol, morphine, choral
hydrate. acetanilid, and a linn
tied number of other narcotics
be declared on the labels of
drug products, although this
requirement does not extend to
O t h er potentially harmful
drugs including barbital, states
Doctor Cullen. The statute
also forbids the presence of
false claims on labels of drugs
and medicines shipped inter-
state. Manufacturers of some
nerve remedies" make no
medicinal claims on the labels
of their goods, but advertise
them in publications or by ra-
dio as being useful in the
treatment of nervous disorders.

tration has no authority to
censor medicinal advertising.

bury.
Heavy rains during most Of
October have postponed the
fire season this year, Records
of the Forestry Department
show October to be a normally
hazardous month. No fires
were reported this season,
however.
Hunters are said to be the
chief cause of fall fires. Con-
trary to general opinion, more
fires result from efforts to
smoke animals from hollow
trees and holes and from
warming fires that are not
completely extinguished than
from cigars and cigarettes. 1t
was added that smoking mater
ials do start some fires, how
ever.
To.date, 40 fires have been
reported in Cecil county COM
pared with a total of 60 last
year. The average area burn
ed per fire is FL acres compared
with &c for 1881. A total
burned area of S5S acres with a
resultant damage of $1,000 has
been reported.
Forest wardens of the coun-
ty and other fire control offic-
ials are on the alert to prompt
ly suppress and thoroughly in
vestigate the cause of all fires.
Persons causing fires through
lcarelessness are liable for
criminal action, it was said.
The cooperation Of all persons
who use the woods is being re-
quested in the prevention of
fires.

DONATING STOCKINGS AND
SHOES TO NEEDY
CHILDREN

Following requests from nu-
merous prominent individuals
and charity organizations thru
out Maryland Raymond A.
Sinskey, Baltimore banker and
philanthropist who is being
aided by the Baltimore City Po-
lice Department in distributing
$4,000 pairs of shoes and stock
ings to children, both white
and colored, who are unable to
go to school because of the lack
of these necessities, is consid-
ering extending, under super
vision of prominent citizens
and organizations, this much
needed benefiaction to this
community. After authorities
of Cecil, Kent, Queen Anne's
and Talbot counties had re-
quested this type of relief from
the Baltimorean, arrangements
were made to supply, through
the properly constituted offici-
ais shoes to those children of
school age who otherwise will
suffer this winter in those
counties, in addition to being
prevented from going to
school.
Mr.. Sinkey's interest in this
urgent relief measure followed
several pleasure trips into the
counties when, in talking with
citizens, he was made to real
ize that much good could be
done, in addition to his many
Baltimore benefactions, outside
of the Maryland metropolis.
After considering all phases of
the question he decided he
would gladly donate the artic-
les to children whose families
would not otherwise be able to
buy them.
He has commissioned w.
Raymond Moody, of Chester
town, Maryland to assume
charge of this philanthropic
work and Mr.. Moody will re-
ceive all suggestions and re-
quests from organizations and
officials interested in aiding the
needy of towns and country
side in this county. According
to Mr.. Moody if any action is
taken here, it must be taken at
once since cold weather Is ap-
preaching with the danger of
increasing suffering.

ONLY $4,000 AUTOMOBILES
INSPECTED

Although there are less than
three weeks left in which to
have automobiles inspected,
only $4,000 motorists have had
their cars approved, according
to E. Austin Baughman, Com
missioner of Motor Vehicles.
"There are 1876 official in
spection stations for the con-
venience- of the motorists" the
commissioner explained, "and
there should have been 100000
of the 332,14O Maryland cars
registered approved.
maryland motorists are dis
playing unprecedented unwill-
lngness to obey the compul-
sorry inspection law. I can't
understand this lack of public
spirit.
Can it be that there are SO
many faulty cars operated on
our streets and roads that the
owners, penny wise and pound
foolish, hesitate to have them
inspected for fear of mourning
a garage bill? Or can it be at
tributed to callousness?
ample time is being given
to comply with the law, and
there will be no excuse if the
examination is not made. I
am giving ample warning that
midnight November 30 is the
zero hour.
Accidents caused by faulty
steering mechanism show an
increase. Examiners should
payparticular attention to this
part of the machine.
"This department is doing
everything in it's power to
make this the most effective
Save-A-Life campaign that has
yet been conducted. Careful
watch is being maintained to
prevent any dishonesty on part
of the official inspection sta
tiOnS."

TRUCK PACT ENDS

The reciprocal agreements
between Maryland and Penn
sylvania regarding the use of
the highways by commercial
trucks terminated November 1.
This came about as the re-
suit of the new Pennsylvania
regulation which took effect
on that date, prohibiting any
commercial truck of any one
owner which has made more
than fifteen trips into that
state since Oct. Is from enter
ing the State without Pennsyl-
vania tags.
The new ruling also requires
that Maryland trucks trans
porting freight for compensa-
ton must register with the De-
partment of Revenue of Penn
sylvania before entering the
State.
Maryland has taken similar
action against commercial
truckers of Pennsylvania, and
motor police were stationed at
sSylmar to see that the law was
carried out on Route No. /.

HEALTH CONDITIONS IN
MARYLAND

Reports of the State Depart
ment of Health for the nine
months ending on September
80, show that health condi-
tions as indicated by the gen.
eral death rate and the infant
death rate have been unusually
favorable during the current
year. There were 1888 deaths
reported-923 fewer than were
reported during the cores
ponding period of 1881. OF
the total during the current
year, 1888 occurred in Balti-
more City and 7,7O3 in the
counties. There were fewer
births reported than during the
corresponding period Of 1881
22,287 in comparison with 22,-
1913 during the first nine
months of 1881, but there were
fewer infant deaths in proper
ton to the number Of births.
Ass infant deaths being re-
ported in comparison with l.
718 in 1881. OF the infant
deaths reported during the cur
rent year, $50 occurred in Bal
timore City, and S26 in the
counties. During the cores
ponding period of 1881, 767
infant deaths were reported
from Baltimore City and 95l
from the counties. or the to-
tai births reported during the
current year., 10,828 occurred
in Baltimore City and 11.459 in
the counties.
In pointing out the signifi-
canoe Of some of the figures.
DR.. r. III. Riley, director of the
State Department of Health
said: 1.-TWO of the yardsticks
used in measuring the health
of a community are the general
death rate and the death rate
of infants. Both rates have
reached unusually low levels
this year. The general death
rate for the entire State for the
last five years has ranged from
1872 to 1876 in every thousand
of the population,-the lowest
figure we have ever been able
to reach for the entire State.
The rate for the corresponding
period of last year was 1874.
"The infant death rate for
the first nine months of the
current year was 65.3 in COM
parison with TIA of the cor
responding period Of last year.
This means that during the
current year there were 65
deaths under one year to every
thousand live births, and thas
last year, there were u infant
deaths to every thousand live
births"
The records show that there
were $3.50 deaths from heart
disease in comparison with 81
220 during the corresponding
period Of last year, 1900 OF
pneumonia in comparison with
1649 during the first nine.
months of 1881; 1161 of tu-
berculosis in comparison with
1922 in 1881; 995 from di-
seases Of the digestive system
in comparison with 11O6 in
1881; and LOG maternal deaths
in comparison with 141 during
the corresponding period OF
1881. Two of the leading
causes of death which showed
an increase were cancer and di-
a b e ties. There were 1888
deaths from cancer in compar-
ison with 1883 last year, and
800 from diabetes in COMPARE
so nwith 274 last year.
The deaths from heart di-
sease, nephritis,, cancer, cere-
bral hemorrhage, pneumonia,
tuberculosis and dia b e t e S,
reached a total of 1894 and
constituted two thirds of the
total deaths from all causes
and in all age groups.
