doing very little to stop the open
sale Of dangerous drugs by the re-
ducing and beauty rackets.
DinitrophenoI and related COM
pounds are being used in flesh re-
ducing preparations in the face Of
reports of deaths caused by their
use. This drug is derived from car
bolic acid which is also the sources
OF a number of related compounds
used in fake reducing preparations.
An excess dose is apt to cause a
fever high enough to result in death.

prietor prevented him from follow
ing young woman friend, a Min

wanted to go home but that she was
afraid of Kemp. Mr.. Moulden told
her to start home and that he would
demonstrate with Kemp and try tc
keep him from following her.
Proprietor demonstrates With Youth
As the girl left, Mr.. Moulden moved
to the door where he blocked the exit
Of the youth. He tried to talk the
youth into not following the girl, ex-
planning that she was afraid of him.
After short time the youth was al
lowed to leave the place. Soon he
came back in raging mad and began
to throw bottles or whatever he could
lay hands on. So enraged was he that
he severely cut himself with glass.

home of boy friend of his on Fifth
Ave. So. Later he was released when
relatives of his offered to pay Mr..
Moulden for damages to his res
