POTATO WORSE THAN OPIUM
Habit Of Smoking Dried Stems of Or
binary Field Tuber One Of Most
Vicious Practises.

Even worse than opium smoking is
the smoking of the dried stems Of the
ordinary field potato" writes an emf
nent physician in an exchange. The
potato vine is a poisonous growth.
The apple or seed, which grows on
the potato and looks like a small, un-
dergrown green tomato, which II is

blood cousins. is especially potent in
its baleful effects II one smokes it.
Usually the vice starts in boyhood
days on the farm. when the youngster
OF the family steals his fathers pipe
and hides with It and some matches
down behind the garden fence or be-
hind the barn next to the field Of
potatoes. He doesn't dare to take up
the straight tobacco, but he tries out
some dried potato stem in the pipe
The smoke sets the experimenter
into q delicious dreamy state at first,
but the heart action accelerates in a
minute or two in an effort TO throw

impels him to action Of any kind In
this state he may do anything, but the
stage is reached much more quickly
than with alcoholic liquors.
The eyes become blind and cloud
ed. The pupil dilates as though bel

centers are affected and there is par
alysis Of the lower limbs. and the
smokers face gets pale. while drops
OF sweat stand out.
AT this stage the heart action
weakens and there is either stupor or
syncope, in which the victim of the
potato poison lies practically para
lyzed and unable to move. while his
brain is in an insane whirl. This rep
resents the height of the intoxication
and 1t is followed by acute depression
and melancholia and a slow return OF
the physical powers.

seem to make it inadvisable to re-
peal the law. On the other hand, if
in its administration there is waste
and an unnecessary. conflict of in
terest and authority, these deficien-
cies should be remedied by amend
ment.
1t would seem that the best re-
suits will be obtained by combining
the activities of the state highway
commissioner to state roads which
will eventually bring the different
localities of the state into communi-
cation with each other and leave the
question of local improvements in
the hands of local authorities ex-
clusively. The question of expense
and efficiency is an important one
and if it can be shown that there
are two spheres in which the state
and county authorities can work
most advantageously by combining
their activities to the ones in which
they are respectively most interest
ed, the law should be amended to
make this possible.

FACTS ON ROAD ACTIVITIES.

County Engineer Berry deserves
the commentator of the people of
Chelan county for the candid man
ner in which he discusses road prob
lens. He does not, as many do, in
advocating changes in public policy
simply make assertions, but he ad-
duces facts to substantiate his as
sertions. 1t is the facts that the
public want and such facts as En-
gineer Berry has adduced should be
made use of by our representative
in the legislature this coming session.
If the county engineers of each
county would take the time to COL
lect and tabulate facts as Mr.. Berry
has done, a satisfactory solution of
the road problem could be arrived
at by the legislature. Mr.. Berry has
shown one weakness in the state aid
law and has suggested a means by
which it may be improved. There
are some things in the state aid law
which are good and which would

JUDICIOUS ADVERTISING.

The Don't Knock; Boost" spirit
is much in evidence these days, says
the Baltimore Sun in speaking of a
banquet recently hel din that city.
1t is a fine spirit, but
Never forget that there is con-
structive knocking as we'll as de-
structive, and that there is destruct-
i've boosting as we'll as constructive.
Proper advertising is the most
profitable business in the world. But
there is no way in which a man can
lose more money than by advertis-
ing when he hasn't the goods. There
is no waste greater than that in
volved il futile advertising.
Get the goods-and then adver-
tise. Make your city worthy one
and then boost it. And tell the
truth always. That is the principle
that wins both for the individual and
the city.

PUTTING A CHECK ON SNOB-
Berry.

Every once in a while press dis
patches announce that school boards
have taken action to suppress fra
ternities and sororities in high
schools. This action is not confined
to particular sections of the countr;
but is general. OF course, high
schools, which are located in college
towns have the most trouble with
these organizations because high
school students in those places natur-
ally feel that they must ape the cHs-
toms of those attending the higher
institutions. On the other hand, the
leaders in these organizations in the
colleges frequently give encourage
ment to high school students to ape
their ways.
The action of boards of education
in suppressing these organizations in
high schools will greatly help to
suppress the growing tendency to
American catfish" aristocracy. If
there is any place in which complete
democracy should manifest itself it
is in the secondary schools in the
United States. Too much emphasis
on social activities and class dis
tinctions is tending to lower the in
tellectual standards of both high
schools and colleges in America and
to impair their efficiency. Too much
money is expended in education eacn
year to permit school diversions
with their attendant snobbery to
supplant the things that are really
worth while.

RIVER NAVIGATION
MAY CEASE
Up-River Country Prepar-

the River This Winter.

The up-river country is preparing
for another temp on the Columbia
this year, ans it is expected that a
cold winter will again make it neces-
sary to stop the boats for several
weeks during the winter season.
The water is now more than two
feet lower than it was last year at
this time. The river now stands at
seven feet and one inch above low
water stage as against nine feet and
five inches one year ago.
While the c. & o. Steamboat COM
pany is unable to say at this time
whether or not there will be a tie
up, it seems probable that there will
be. 1t is necessary. therefore, that
all those having shipments for the
up-river country should see that they
are started at once.
