Will Prevent Milking of New Victims.
. .With the enforcement of tho liar
rlson antl-narcotlc act, which has Just
gone Into effect throughout tho United
States, It Is hoped that tho Illicit use
of habit-forming drugB wll in tlmo oe
como comparatively rare. The law
permits no ono to sell or glvo away
drugs of this nnturo except under the
direction of a physician, a surgeon or
a dentist, and anyone prescribing them
must bo registered with the federal
authorities. Heavy penalties are fixed
for violation of tho terms of tho law
It Is estimated that 2,000,000 persons
in this country aro slaves to tho use
of ovll drugs, and these will no doubt
endure much Buffering. Hitherto tho
traffic In habit-forming drugs, such as
opium, morphine, cocalno nnd horoln
has been largely Illicit in tills country,
This hns been true In aplte of state
and local regulations that seek to re
duco to tho minimum tho uso of such
drugs. Reputable physicians dislike
to prescribe these drugs and ordlnarl
ly will do so only In easoa where tho
need Is extreme Less scrupulous pny
slclans will bo under close check by
tho federal government, as will dis
nensers of drugs in general. Thus
tho Harrison law promlseu to bo nn
etfflnlvo meoBuro for the pro'cntlrn
r.l i habit that onmnnulv leads to
vice, crime, diseease an! death. Tho
.nost important err-jc: ot tno new law
b'ltn :d bo Its Inlluo'if In preventing
m w victims from contracting the ha
bit of using opiates, though it may bo
d uliifd that It will v. once brcaK up
t h; habit in those win nio its slaves
