Touring DRUG HABIT"

eff a drug fiend wants to quit
quickly, let him commit a crime that
will send him to Waupun, half-jok-
ingly remarked DR.. Rock Sleyster,
former physician of the state pris-
on. Most experienced physicians hold
that sudden and complete removal of
a habit-forming drug is dangerous to
the victim. In ordinary circumstances
it undoubtedly is. At Waupun, how
ever, it has been the invariable prac-
tice of Dr. Sleyster, and he never
saw even so much as an alarming
symptom Not once did he give an
ounce of whiskey or a fractional
grain dose of cocaine, morphine, or
other similar drug.
His explanation is interesting and
suggestive A drug habit is mostly
a mental habit So long as the pa
tient thinks he requires a drug, he
does. In ordinary institutions, par
ticularly in private hospitals and
sanatOria, he expects some consid-
Grafton But Waupun isn't an ordi-
airy medical institution. The first
step in treatment begins when the
outside gate clangs shut. The pris-
oner knows that with that gong-like
sound the death knell has been
sounded upon his ordinary rights"
eve understand criminal nature,
and convicts know that We under
stand them. They quit trying to
coax us with whining that enlists
sympathy outside. At the same time
they quit sympathizing with them
selves. It's wonderful how that shot
bolt in the prison gate stiffens up
their spinal columns.
when they are told they can't
have drugs and whiskey, they know
that they can't. Knowing that they
can't, they adapt themselves to the
change and accept the rule,
"The ordinary drug fiend may col
lapse upon sudden complete with
drawal of the drug. The collapse may
be real and most alarming to the
physician There has never been a
collapse at Waupun from the same
cause
TITS interesting to observe how
manv Of DIR inmates arrive in an
intoxicated condition. The officers
bringing them are frequently most
sympathetic and cannot resist the
appeals for just one more drink be-
fore they are shut off for years or
for life If the same brand of SYM
pathy were allowed to rule inside
the institution Waupun would be in
a fine mess"

PROCURING REST FOR BRAIN
English Physician Gives Advice to
Those Who Suffer From Lack
Of Sound Sleep.

Many men and women, especially
those past their first youth. find diff.
Guilty in procuring the sound, restful
sleep so necessary to keep mind and
body fit Although physically the
body Is tired out, the brain Is as alert
as ever, and perfect oblivion Is i'm
possible.
An English physician gives some
interesting advice on the matter. SIN.
somnia," he states, 'is one Of the pen
alties Of the increasing strain modern
life throws upon our brains. The
man who works with his muscles and
lives in the open air is rarely vic
tim Of sleeplessness.
"The essentials for a good nights
rest are mental repose. requisite
amount Of muscular fatigue. comfort
able body heat, and plenty Of ven
tilation.
1.-THE most difficult to secure is
lessened brain activity. An excellent
plan Is to take brisk half-hour's
walk just before bedtime, followed by
a hot bath and a rundown, and then
a cup Of warm milk and a biscuit or
two as one gets into bed.
IF in addition. the mind be TO.
cussed on some pleasant but not ex'
citing topic, a nights rest Is assured
to all but the most chronic sufferer.
"The type in which the sleeper sud
denly awakes an hour or SO after hav.
ing fallen asleep usually means that
more outdoor muscular exercise is
required"

United States Almost independent In
Mineral Resources

mineral resources
Probably no other nation in the
world so nearly approaches absolute
independence in respect to mineral
resources as the United States.
A glance at the statistics of min
eral imports affords means of COM
pretending in broad way how great
and complex is the task of attain
ing national independence in the min
ing, metallurgical, and chemical in
dustries. Last year the imports OF
mineral products, both crude and
manufactured, exceeded $270,C00, 900.
Of this total probably $2OG, 1000
represents raw materials and crude
metals. the value of these imports
being about s per cent. of that OF
he domestic output. In this list or
IMPORTS the larger items named in
tic order of value are unmanufac-
tured copper, precious stones, nitrate
of soda, copper ore and matte,
nickel, tin, iron ore, pig iron ana
steel, petroleum products, Manganese
ores and alloys, platinum, aluminium,
pyrite, graphite, stone, potash ana
magnesite. This country has an album
dant supply of most of these MN
eral products that are now import
ed in large amounts, and as to them
it can be independent of foreign
countries. The only essential min
erals of the first rank of which the
United States has no known supply
at all commensurate with it's needs
are nitrates, potash salts, tin, nickel,
and platinum, the list thus comprls-
ing two essential mineral fertilizers
and three very useful metals.

Sad Death

Mrs. Sue Ella Byrd, some pa
thetic features of whose life were
known to many, died on Saturday
last at the home of her father, Mr..
John Bratton, a few miles below
the Bath Highland line.
She was about so years of age
and nearly half of that time had
been entirely blind, loss of her sight
resulting from an attack of meas
les. During all those years she is
said to have shown great patience.
evidencing the deepest appreciation
for every act of kindness, the adj
dcd care of loving hands incident
to her condition.
Just prior to or during the holi-
day season, while seated near an
open e-place, her clothing caught
fire and she was fearfully burned
about her lower limbs before the
flames was extinguished. DR.. Fox
has since attended her and had
great hope that she would recover.
She grew dangerously i'll however,
the night before her death and
passed away before medical aid
coul be obtained.
Mrs. Byrd is spoken of by all
who knew her as a most amlabl
lady, showing the same fortltudc,
patience and submission during
these last weeks of suffering that
characterized her former life.
She had been member of the
Presbyterian church for 80 years,
the characteristics cited above be-
ing the strongest evidence of an
implicit faith and trust.
Her aged father is i'll at this
time.
