THREE MILLION DOPE FIENDs.

1t is hard to believe that the govern
ment officials are correct when they
announce that there are three millions
of so-calIed dope f1ends in this coun-
try, that is to say. victims of some of
the deadly drugs which most people
know only by name. Cocaine. NOR
phine and other such devastating
drugs are being used in enlarged guam
titles, ad recent events in this city
show how widespread their use is be-
coming. Here is a chance to do some
reform in a vigorous way. There
seems to be enough law on the sub
ject If it is vigorously enforced. but it
is not true that punishment is now
severe enough.
The use of these drugs can be sup
pressed only by maintaining a strict
control over the sale of them. The
worst feature Of them all is that they
are so insidious. It is a long time
before the victim is known and then
it is apt to be too late. 1t does seem
as if the federal government and the
states could work together SO as to
make it impossible for unlawful dis
pensers to get a supply. When man
has acquired a desire for these drugs
he will make almost any sacrifice to
secure them Alcohol at its worst is
simple matter compared with CO.

this with sexual or physical excuses

Finally, the bold statement was

The Conversational lag
By Ada Patterson.

"AvE you ever felt it coming on,
n the temptation to go on a con-
versationa1 spree? The symp-
toms are congestion of emotions in
the heart corresponding to a rush Of
blood TO the head; an almost uncontroI-
able disposition to open the mouth wild @
and pour from it steady stream Of
speech for half hour, an hour, or an
evening
What have you done? Yielded to it,
told all you know and when that was
finished told also all the thought? And
afterwards? You had the depressed
next day feeling that follows intoxica-
tion. You have a vague discomforting
sense that you Were not at your best,
that the persons who listened to your
monologue, listened with but half their
brain. You remember that you caught
Browns eye on several excursions
around the room. You felt after this orgy
of words as does anyone else after an
orgy of spirits, that you wished you
hadn't.
That vague sense of humiliation, ana
the better defined fear that you have
said more than you wished, of matters
of business, of personal privacy, the
conviction of having been egotistic and
indiscreet could have been prevented
by two simple means. You could have
taken long walk alone. And you could
have told the more or less precious
stuff to your spouse. Communications
to your wife or husband are privileged,
in law.
Art of Discreet Speech.
1 once heard a grim visaged New Eng
land business man advise a garrulous
new clerk TO practice the art of dis
Greet speech. Many a good man has
gone wrong because he had five or 10
minutes to spare and talked too much -
he said.

To Cure Overactfve Tongue
There are several cures for the habit
OF the overactiye tongue. One is the

persons who are worth while are pretty
well developed individuals, who do their
own thinking, reach their own conclu-

ions of others have no more effect than

pine. The rest are not capable of long
sustained interest and outwardly or in
wardly vote too voluble person a bore.
Another cure is the sense of respon-
sibility for every word one utters. The
weakest excuse ever offered is: II
didn't mean it. 1 was just talking"
Speech is the coinage of the mind and
whatever lives in speec has first lived
in thought That the person who '.just
talks" is dangerous leak was revealed
in the sagacious words of the head of a
corporation which was sending out a
scout to learn what he could of, the
plans of a commercial foe.
Get hold of a ta1kative fellow. If
you don't know whether he's talkative,
choose fellow with three little wrin-
kles under his eyes. That is the mark
of the natural confider''
Whoever talks much talks too much.
Silence is a neglected rest cure. We
would minimize our conversation and
multiply our deeds If we obeyed the ad-
vice of Ben Franklin:

fit yourself or someone else."

Animal Toys Are Best.
The child of the present day becomes
a zoologist, a geographer and an eth
nologist almost without knowing it.
The animal toy still surpasses eyerv
other kind in the heart of the child, and
the toy maker has learned his lesson
by watching the city child go to the
country and look with open-mouthed
wonder at the cow, the horse, the sheep
and the pig. With dolls and animals
the child may be taught on what parts
of the globe they are found, what their
habits are, and what their traits.
One of the most interesting museums
in the world is the toy museum which
has been opened at Sonneberg. Germa-
ny. In this museum is to be found ev-
cry kind and character of toy that has
amused the children for ages. 1t is
aimed to make it the most complete
institute Of its kind in the world and
to tell the whole story of toyland from
the day of the rude wooden doll of pre-
historic times down to the most deli
cately fashioned and clothed walking
and talking doll, and the most perfect
mechanical toy of the present day. II
is here that Santa Claus makes his
headquarters at all seasons of the year
and the American boy and girl who can
take trip TO Sonneberg will never
doubt but that Santa Claus really lives
and that he constantly has their inter
