Would Change Pharmacy LSwe. In a special report made to Governor Dunne, the state board of pharmacy makes recommendations for changes in the existing pharmcy laws, provid­ ing for strict regulation of the sale of habit-forming drugs. The recommend­ ations follow: 1. Making it unlawful for any in­ dividual to have in his possession more cocaine or eucaine than can be obtained by mean of a prescription from a regularly licensed physician, exception being made in case of regis­ tered pharmacists, physicians, dent­ ists, veterinarians and hospitals. 2. Making it unlawful for any per­ son, firm or corporation to sell, offer for sale or give away any opium, mor­ phine, heroin of codeine, or any of their alkaloids or derivaties. or any of their compounds or preparations which contain more than two grains of opium, or one-quarter grain of heroin, or one grain of codeine In one fluid ounce, or if a sorted prepara­ tions, in one advoirdupois ounce, except upon written prescription of a duly licensed physician, licensed dentists or licensed veterinarian. (This is the substance of what is known as the model antlnarcotic law and which is being enacted on the different states of the Union wherever possible.) 3. Providing that after July 1, 1915, all applicants for examination as reg­ istered by the board of pharmacy as apprentices or assistant pharmacists shall be required to furnish proof of graduation from a school of 'pharmacy nr college of pharmacy that is recog­ nized by the board of pharmacy. 4. Providing for a fee of 50 cents for the annual renewal of apprentice certificates. ( 5. Providing a penalty for any per­ son who falsely represents himself -to be registered as an apprentice, assist­ ant pharmacist or registered* pharma­ cist in this state. In discussing the recommendations In regard to habit-forming drugs, and the prerequisite requirement tor ap­ plicants the board says: "It is an imperative necessity that a law be enacted in Illinois to stamp out the ever-increasing sales and use of habit-forming drugs. Recent inves­ tigations have convinced the board that unless something is done in this matter it will not be long until the hospitals for the Insane in Illinois are crowded with inmates whose lives have been wrecked by the narcotic drugs. Illinois has been slow to rec­ ognize the importance of such legisla­ tion and is far behind most of the other states in the Union In this re­ gard. "The most common habit-forming drugs are cocaine, ^eucaine, opium, morphine, heroine and cocaine. As above stated the sale of cocaine and eucaine is regulated by state law, but there is no law whatever restricting the sale of opium, morphine, heroin or codeine. All of the states upon which Illinois borders have laws re­ stricting the sale of these drugs. The result has been, and is today, that the "dope fiends" from our sister states, who have trouble in getting their sup­ ply at home are sending to dealers in Illinois for what they want Not only are the dealers in this state supplying the habit-forming drugs to our citi­ zens, but they are reaping a harvest of dollars from their sales tn ^i:«tom- ers, in other states."

The drafting of a bill giving the iBtate absolute authority over fire in­ surance rates in Illinois was com­ menced following a conference held in the office of Governor Dunne and attended - by the governor. Insurance Superintendent Potts, A. A. McKinley. attorney for the department; C. H. Shamel, special counsel In charge of the fite insurance litigation, and Fred LeRoy, -chairman of the insurance committee of the Illinois Press asso­ ciation, and Thomas E. Gallagher, chairman; P. D. McGregor and Charles R. Sheldon, a committee rep­ resenting the fire insurance interests r in Illinois. a : Coincident with the4conference was . the submission to Governor Dunne by 1 Insurance Superintendent Potts of a j sensational r^jort of fire insurance | conditions in this state, covering an Investigation which has been carried j on for several months. J Thte bill to be introduced in the next j session of the legislature will vest in 1 a proposed state commission absolute r^tes in the state. Under the terms of the proposed legislation the state com­ mission can fix rates to be charged and prescribe other regulations under which the companies shall operate. The principles of the measure will be contained in a letter to be sent the hiBurauce men by the governor. Un­ der an agreement the lat^r will be answered by the committee of the companies by Saturday, December 12. The report of Superintendent Potts to Governor Dunne is one of the most comprehensive documents, of its kind ever submitted by a head of a state department to the chief executive. In it, Air. Potts scathingly arraigns the methods employed by the fire insur­ ance companies of the state, and ex­ presses the belief that the only ulti­ mate relief is to be gained by in­ augurating a system of state lnsur ance. This failing, the report adds the next best thing is rigid state regu­ lation of the fire insurance business, including rates. The report outline# completely the<historical development of fire insurance in the United States and Europe, and shows the practical results of the operation of the pres­ ent system in Illinois. It charges that stock fire companies have formed "combines," through which they main­ tain a monopoly, collect extortionate premiums, permit marked discrimina­ tion and enforce oppressive business methods; and, that the present "com­ bine" system effectually increases in­ surance Instead of diminishing fire losses. The report is a careful analysis of the fire insurance business from every angle. It states that Illinois citizens paid over twenty-six million dollars in premiums last year to stock fire in­ surance companies, this sum being ap­ proximately twice the amount of our state taxes. It charges that modern commercial conditions make fire In­ surance practically compulsory, and that premiums are virtually a tax; that every citizen of our dtate pays an uiijust and unwarranted tribute to monopoly, under a system that is wholly indefensible, which is paid di­ rectly to the companies in premiums by persons carrying insurance, and In­ directly by every person in the form of an added cost to every article of merchandise purchased thus none es­ cape this tax. Convicts Form Association. The Illinois State Penitentiary Mu­ tual Benefit association was organized in the chapel of the Joliet prison this morning, with "English Eddie No. 3794," a safe blower of Chicago, as president. The membership totals 1,336 and only convicts are eligible. With the indorsement of Edmund M. Allen, the warden, the new association was proposed by Rev. Father Peter Crumbley, the chaplain, at morning services. Every man in chapel en­ rolled as a member. "Most of these boys," explained the priest later, "occupy their spare time in making articles which are sold to buy tobacco, candy or new pipes. If, with the co-operation of the public and clergy, we can promote a sale through­ out the state for all articles that these 1,300 men turn out, the proceeds will go a long way toward taking care of the families who are waiting for them to leave prison. It is generally the wives and children and old mothers of these boys who bear the principal hardships of their Imprisonment."

Some of tbe very prettiest are home­ made, as the illustration proves. This 1b made from four circular doilies of sheer handkerchief linen edged with cluny lace one inch wide, each doily measuring six Inches In diameter, for a small shade when finished, larger sizes up to lamp Bh&des to be in pro­ portion, of course. If only one shade is to be made, the best and cheapest way Is' to cut the four squares from a handkerchief, be­ cause then there will be no waste. Linen is so wide that even when the smallest quantity is bought more than half will be wasted. A woman's hand­ kerchief is ample for a small shade. A man's will make the larger. Alao dol­ lies all ready stamped for working can be bought at ten cents each. However, one may be more individual if she can trace her own design, and as they are so simple this should not be difficult to do. For instance, if she traced the de­ sign of her dinner ware upon the linen and worked It out in the same color­ ing the light shining through tbe linen would give the shade all the impres­ sion of being porcelain, too. Another effective design that would shed a soft glow over the white cloth would be a sprinkling of autumn .

Winter sees a decided change in the style of the newest wraps and stoles made in furs or fur substitutes. Last year the • majority of the stoles were quite straight" in shape, the widths varying from eight or nine inches to considerable proportions, but now the old-fashioned pelerine or small cape promises to be most popu­ lar. Carried out in soft musquash, seal, coney, ermine or other fur many of these models are very graceful and becoming. Some beautiful examples of shaped shoulder scarfs seen lately were made of broadtail or black ponyskln. as supple and silky as satin, trimmed with effective touches of taffeta or velvet, in some cases with another fur Introduced around the neck or deco­ rating the ends. For those, however, who find these real furs too costly the new makes of ponyskln and broadtail cloth an­ swer most admirably. Those manu­ factured furs are such faithful copies of the real article that in many in­ stances it requires an expert to dis­ criminate between the two. Those who require an up-to-date fur wrap at a moderate cost cannot do better than copy the real furs In fur cloth. This Is by no means a difficult proceeding, as the fur cloth can be ob­ tained in wide widths that can readily be draped in graceful lines. When making up a stole In fur ma­ terial it Is as well to add an lnterlin- GIVES PROPER COLOR TOUCH bought for ten cents a yard; that will be 20 cents for the four doilies and probably only 15 cents for the hand­ kerchief.
