influence of the morphine was she
anything like her normal self, and
at last came the time when she
could not exist without 1t. Then
came the final blow. Her parents.
feeling themselves disgraced by
their daughters misfortune, it is
alleged. turned her from the home,
an dthis last shock so affected the
girls mind, already weakened by
the morphine, that she is little bet
ter than a physical and mental
wreck.
For short time after being driv-
en- from home, the girl earned a
living as best she could. but be-
tween the shock of separation from
her parents and the awful influ-
ence of the drug, she soon came to
the point where she was unable to
work.
Then the Salvation Army of
North Yakima took up her case,
and she was cared for by Army
workers for several weeks. Fin
ally they could care for her no
longer, and her condition became
such that she needed TO be kept un-
der restraint all the time.
So she was sent to the Rescue
Home in Spokane, where Matr0n
Schmidt is caring for her and an
effort will be made to rescue her
from the influence of the drug to
which she has become addicted.
To such a condition has the girl
come that she is unable to talk
lucidiy. and has no idea of where
she is.
The girl is declared by Matron
Schmidt not to be blameable for
