much heroin as it does other drugs
TO achieve the same effect, and It's
influence is OF far longer duration.
Heroin is a preparation of NOR
phine. it occurs as a fine white
powder. insoluble in water but solu-
BILE in dilute acids. The drug may
be administered hypodermically or
may be taken in tablet form. The
action of the heart is increased, the
pupils of the eyes contract and the
cerebral faculties are stimulated to
a pleasant activity by an increased
blood supply. The immediate effect
Is that of mild intoxication and IS
followed by an unusually long sleep
II is a habit slowly formed and is,
therefore, the more dangerous. Laws
against the sale of such drugs can
not be too drastic nor too stringently
enforced. - Commercial Appeal.

ELECTION CONTEST LIKELY

No Returns from Two Precincts In
Harper County CompIicate Matters
Oklahoma City, Okla, Nov. 19.-Of-
fetal returns from Harper County have
not yet been filed with the state cleo
tion board as to the result of the re-
cent election for state and district Of
licers. In the return that was sent
in and rejected by the board, two pre-
cincts were not included and the no
tation was made that no legal ballots
had been cast in those precincts. 1t
is understood that if the vote as cast
in those precincts We're counted, 1t
would result in a plurality for Howard
NJ. Drake of Dombey, the republican
nominee for the lower house of the
legislature from the district compos-
ed of Beaver and Harper Counties,
Without these two precincts the re-
suit is in favor of X. T. Williams OF
Buffalo, the democratic nominee.
1t is expected that mandamus pro
ceedings will be brought by the re-
publican nominee to compel the county
board of Harper County to certify the
result in the entire county, including
the precincts not reported on, to the
state election board

TRICKS OF A TRADE.

Heroin is the latest habit forming
drug with which the health author
tiles are now fighting in the name of
humanity. Less than five years ago
this drug was but little heard of;
today il is even more dreaded than
either morphine or cocaine. It's eff
fects are not so direct as that of
cocaine, nor is it as deadly, for it
requires longer to render its victim
