$127272000 has been redeemed. The
eradual disappearance of emergency cur

WASHINGTON. December 1. That the
number of persons In the United State
addicted to the habitual us of drug Is
not nearly so large as had been supposed
Is the conclusion stated today In a re-
port of the public health service. It had
ben estimated that between 1 and i
percent of the population were drug
habitues. The belief la expressed also
that the evils due to the Improper use of
such drug have been greatly exaggerated.
The conclusions are taaed on data fur-
nished by the Tennessee authorities and
also on figures giving the average num-
ber ot doses of hsbit forming drugs Im-
ported Into the United 8tateyin 111 and
112 as being respectively 1 M0 100400 and
