Ridding the country of the most insidious secret vice of the generation, when that vice is propagated by great money gains to those who make and sell narcotics, is no easy job. But it is an imperative task. The magnitude of the traffic is quite unknown to the public. Something of its gigantic proportions may be real- ized in the figures, vouched for by one of the founders of the White Cross, that in one period of five months 379,- 000,000 doses of dope, manufactured in the United States, passed thru Pacific ports for exportation, And 879,000,000 doses are enough to wipe out the man- hood and womanhood of America. Incorporated with a view to having subsidiary organiza- tions in every community in the country, the attack of the White Cross is to Be upon the manufacturer and seller of the drug rather than upon the victim. This is as it should be. At the price of destroying the country’s strength, manufacturers and peddlers are deliber- ately increasing their market because the unhappy wretches who buy their wares can be made to pay big money. Hand in hand with the campaign to prosecute the pro- ducers of drugs, the White Cross is planning a mammoth ‘*| publicity campaign, confident that the truth about dope will inflame the public to a vigorous demand for its extermi- nation. Meanwhile the organization will care for the victim nurse them back to health. It is a big program—the first comprehensive effort to deal with the subject in all its phases. It can be made to go—if the originators of it can succeed in imparting their own vision to the great body of American people who want to see this country sound. The Star, as we said, wishes it well. “Eureka—I’ve Found It” America’s oldest living inventor celebrates hie Sind birthday, He has a good old-time Yankee name—Eliphaiet Remington.

Handle With Care One of the most fragile, and at the mame time, one of the most in-) destructible, pieces of baggage forming the equipment of a person starting out in life is his conscience. The average man hates, denpines and mistrust that little bundle of “inwit,” aa the Saxons called ft, Worse than he does the income tax, and for about the same reasons. He is never free from suspicions of ulterior motives on its part when he hears the clamor of the small voice never still, and is prone te accuse it of hypocrisy, deep and shameless, or a guileleapness that Would subject him bootlemsty to the kicks and buffets of life Introspection is the most dangerous weapon a man can use against his conscience.

Today every one of the forty- eight has an Anti-Tuberculosis Association, as have also Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philip- pines. In addition there are nearly 1,000 other associations engaged in the same work. Fifteen years ago there were only 100 hospi- tals and sanatoria for the treatment of tubercu- losis, many of them poorly equipped. Today there are over 600 special tuberculosis hospitals and sanatoria, and more than 500 clinics and dispensaries, all thoroughly equipped for their work, . Fifteen years ago the death rate from tubercu- losis was 200.7 in each 100,000 population.. The last available figures show a death rate of 141.6.
