BIG LAUDANUM BILL.
County Aims House Drug Bill Shows
$50 for Year Spent for Opiate.

That opium in large quantities is
consumed by inmates Of the County
Aims House, has been known to visi-
tors a long time, and certainly is no
secret, but recent developments are
a revelation to the public.
There is now sick at the Aims
House an old white man, who is an
opium fiend. Beside his bed always
is a oottle of laudanum which ne
drinks ad libitum. A member of the
Guild of Mercy recently visited the
County Home lbetter known as Aims
House) and demonstrated about this.
The attending physician said the
man had been so long addicted to the
use Of the drug. it is useless to deny
IL him now, and besides his rawlings
for il, if denied it's use are madden
ing TO the other inmates.
According TO the records of the
County Commissioners office, where
are filed all the bills for the mainten-
aqce of the Aims House, ont OF
sIt4.IO spent for drugs during the
past year. S64.70, or mere than
third of the total, went for lauda-
mum. This, according to persons in
position to know. is considered
marvellous amount of the drug to
have been used
The bills passed during the past
few month, with the total amounts,
amounts, the proportion spent for
laudanum and the dates on which
they were presented follow,
During 1912 February 2, S27.75

were fortunate enough to witness a
typical sandstorm, later reproduced
on the stage of tne Century Theatre,
New York.
In the desert country arrangements
were made for the importation OF
Algerian dancers, members Of Arab
tribes, sheiks and dervishes, camels.
dogs and sheep. Everything that
would help out an appreciation of
the spirit of the desert was consider
ed, and when the party left Algeria
the work had be IN thorough. With
the knowl edge gained in the desert,

Garden of Allah" as the Arabs call
the great waste and their married
life is very happy until the sudden

has been Trappist monk who has
deserted the monastery and broken
his vows.
The action of the play is arranged
in four parts and an epilogue. Part
/. is in five scenes the first of which
called "The Spirit of the Desert" is
expected to be a revelation in the
way of effects. Part ii shows the
garden of Count Anteoni
which, by the way, has an actual
existence in the Garden of Count
of the real Biska. 1t is in
this garden that Boris and Domini
come to their understanding. Part
III shows the tent of Boris and
Domini at Mogar, in the very heart
of the desert. Part ~ is the exter-
ior of the Trappist Monastery at Ell
Largini, near Tunis. The epilogue is

CentraIize the Public Business

The Capitalization of the public business of
Maricopa County and Phoenix in a civic center is
something very much be desired. And be
Ieve majority of the people desire it. The ad-
vantage Of added attraction the city
need hardly be discussed. The civic center will
stand for generations as a monument fore

The DIRECTORS TO the purchasing by the city and

many years in advance. \ suggestion has been
made for leasing it for a period of nnetynine
years That would be nearly equivalent to
sale that the opposition would be developed.
No lessee could be brought pay such a
the people would demand. for that rental
would be based upon a prospective value.
50 far the people have expressed themselves,
they have shown unwiIingness to dispose of any
real estate the city holds and the people of
the school district practically make up the city

estate parks and breathing spaces than let go

For reasons Of economy, of civic ornamental
