The physicians who resort to this fatal support ate numerous. Often they are ai the top oi^ibeir pjofessk.it. They have j the peculiar alertness of mind that goth with the nervous tempAnnu/ul, with marvellous aentenrss ^ rception and capacity for swift judgjudgmeuts. It is this sensitive nature that feels strain moil severely. It is so easy fur a doctor to brace himself with dra£s for som e trying ordeal. A Manufacturers of cocaine and other drugs promote these habits with shameless lack of scruple. The sample of headache powder prhich is given away on the street or thrown on the porch may contain deadly narcotics. Dealers ip candies and soft drinks sometimes keep these man killers. The closet shelf contains headache remedies a slight overdose of which will stop a person’s heart. Whether the law mentioned above is enfbrcablr or not it is too soon to say, but public sympathy will be with its purpose.

t Taxes and Assessments.

L IFE INSURANCE is playing an important part ip human affairs to-day. As a medium for saving money and an investment furnishing protection to the family it stands alone. Millions have found life insurance indispensable in the hour of trouble.

T HE evidence pre*ented to the -niniwion that sat last year wa» very impressive as to the damage already caused by the erection of buildings of auch height and bulk as to restrict light and air and even to cause congestion of persona ia the daytime, which the existing streets cannot accommodate. It i« a very surprising fact that the number of building* in the borough <*f Manhattan more than ten stones high is only 1.048 out of a total of 92,:4» buildings* when one consie.en* the impression conveyed by the presence of lofty buildings in Manhattan and the damage that h** been done by many of the building* already

erected.

IT IS SAID THAT THERE ARE FEW OFFICE BUILDINGS OVER EIGHTEEN STORIES HIGH BELOW CHAMBERS STREET THAT PAY REASONABLE RETURN UPON THE COST OF LAND AND BUILDING. I HAVE SEEN THE EFFECT UPON AN EXISTING BUILDING OF THE ERECTION OF AN EQUALLY TALL BUILDING NEXT TO IT. SHUTTING OFF ITS LIGHT AND AIR. THE RENTALS ON THE SIDE THUS CLOSED UP WERE REDUCED BY TWO THIRDS. AND FROM BEING A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT THE BUILDING BECAME DECIDEDLY AN UNPROFITABLE INVESTMENT. For the sake of the health and safety of the community and for its economic well being we must hate in the United States regulations carefully framed by districts which will stabilize values, enhance the vthw of land and conarrve the value of buildings.

Japan Has Nothing to Gaia by Going to War With the United States By Dr. SH0SHUK0 SATO. AssKroo! hi Empooi ul J*Mi *0 Stodu California Question

I HAVE MADE A STUDY OF THE CALIFORNIA SITUATION. AND IN MY REPORT TO MY GOVERNMENT I WILL SCATE THAT. IN MY OPINION. THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO SETTLE THE DIFFER ENCE6 BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES ANO JAPAN, AND THAT II BY GRANTING THE JAPANESE NOW HOLDING LAND IN CALIFORNIA CITIZENSHIP. WHEN THIS IS DONE JAPAN WILL HAVE NO FUR

THER TROUBLE WITH THE UNITED STATES.

There are at present about one hundred thousand Japanese in the United and more than half of that number are qualified to be come citizen* of this country. I will also recommend that no more imdgrants come to this country, for if they should it would only hsvo r

Whichever is nearest correct, in many districts on 1 Country already sl ows sy inptoms of over population. Yet the exjKTLs say there is room here • for a population •teaching into billioiK, if ti. farm lands are intensively cultivated. Our cities seem to think that when they pass the half million or million iint:k, they have accomplished some w. ndctful human ichtevenicnL j Actu «11\ what has happened Inis been that a lot of human sheep, dazzled by lighted streets ami flashy entertainments, have abandoned the economic functions for which they were best fitted. They rush into occupations far too crowded, while the basic task of pro-

viding food lacks workers.

TIMES’ Health Talks l By a Physician a a Be B • B < B i B i B ; B4 B • K t BF*e Action or Dissasx (jerks ix the Body Having gained entrance into tbu tislee ol the body, disease germs are attache I by tbe natural defences, an effort being made to destroy them. In Uie blood there are certain substances and ceils which have the power of destroying bacteria. bbonld these sobs lances and cells be lacking in number or salhrieut quantity, the bacteria develop until there are sufficient number to canee the onset of the specific disease. Anything which lowers ita'ity, such as dissipation, over work, exposure, lack of or poor food, lack of fresh air and unsanitary conditions, prethe individual to the developof inlectioua diseases an'* renders nore liable to develop the infection if exposed. A person who is not susceptible to the specific organism (bacteria) of a disease said to be immune to that disease, une people apparently have a natural immunity to certain diseases, even 1 bough exposed repeatedly Immunity may, however, be acquired -Iter having an infectioo, and this be either temporary or permanent. In acquired immunity the bacteria tve stimulated Uie blood to form sul stances antagonistic to the development of Uie same bacteria. One attack of amah pot, forexample, inally causes the development of a uianent immunity 10 subsequent attacks Vaccination, of which we shall speak later more in detail, develops an acquired immunity. Ttie injection of antitoxin cauaes acquired immunity to diphtheria lor a short period. We will speak of auUtoxin later. Every individual differs iu his susceptibility to infectious diseases. Not every child exposed direcUy to scarlet lever will develop it. Many of us may drink water infected with typboii germs yet not develop typhoid fever. But even though some may be exposed to infection and resist Uie germs, yet it is possible for them to harbor tlieae bacteria and be the means of IransuiiUiug the infection to others. Ttiis fact should not be lost sight of in cosubating epidemics especially dipUieri», a disease w hose spread undoubtedly is caused in many instances by infected persons whose resistance is such that they do not develop Uie disease.
