PLANTS CAUSE MADNESS.
Startling Effect Of Mexico's Substitute
Il for Tobacco.

The revolution in Mexico has brought
with it not only the ravaSes of war, our
also The degradation of the social eohdi-
.,ions of soldiers and prisoners. One OF
the latest forms of dissipation In the
ranks, of federals and rebels alike Is
the habit of smoking marihuana, dead
ly native plant of Mexico. According to
reports many of the Mexican prisoners
i'm the Belem prison in the city OF Mexico
are losing their minds as result OF
smoking this weed.
The dry leaves of marihuana. alone or
mixed with tobacco. makes the smoker
wilder than a wild beast. 1t Is said that
LATTER the first three or four drafts oil
Ismoke the smoker feels a slight head
ache then he sees everything moving,
land finally loses all control of his mental
faculties.
| The next stage of the intoxication i
| full of terrors. Troops of ferocious wild
ianimals march before the vision of the
smoker. Lions, tigers, panthers, and
lother wild beasts occupy his vision
THESE wild animals are then attacked
| by hosts of devils and monsters of UNI
| heard-of shapes. Ihe smoker becomes
brave and possessed of superhumaf
strength. 1t is at this stage of the de-
baucli that murders are committed by
smokers of the marihuana weed.
| A few Americans have experimental
| with the weed. \ few years ago we'll
| known citizen of San Antonio purchased
| a large coffee plantation in southern
| Mexico. He was induced to try smoking
marihuana he became addicted to the
j habit, which rendered him insane, and
i finally caused his DEATH
| In another instance the superintendent
of mine in Mexico, who was an Ameri-
/, can. became the object of hatred of one
| of the men in his employ. The Mexican
mixed marihuana with the American
| tobacco. The latter became wildly In
:, sane from smoking the mixture, made q
vicious attack upon a party of miners

There is in the state of Michoacan an
