With eyes that open wide,
Pm frank to say I'm all agog
At what find inside.
The prize tomatoes fairly seem
To burst their ruddy skins,
The radishes and parsnips CLEAN
Like newly FURNISHED tins.

The cauliflower might we'll adorn
The garden of a prince.

Its final page scan,
And then l buy turnip seed
And plant it in a can.

Drne Addicfs.

Since the passage OF the Harrison
narcotic law; numerous statements
have appeared in newspapers and
medical journals regarding the num-
Der Of drug addicts IN The Un1ted
States Most of these statements are
mere guesses, no accurate data exist
ing On which to base amy careful eS-
Inmates. Certainly the maximum hg-
ures given by some writer's are great
1y exaggerated. In a recent issue of
the Scientific American, Lucius p
Brown, food and drug commissioner OF
the state Of Tennessee, furnishes data
on (which TO base a more or less
accurate estimate.
From figures derived from the oper
alton OF the food and drug laws OF
Tennessee, Commissioner Brown es-
Inmates that there are approximately
5000 drug addicts in that state AS
Tennessee comprises about Two and
one-thtrd per cent of the entire pop
ulaticn Of the country, this would in
d5cate that there are about 325,OG9
drug addTctS in the United States.
But" says Mr.. Brown, Tennessee
being an agricultural state and there
fore decidedly more free from such
addicts than those states where the
pressure OF modern life Is harder, we
should add ten per cent at least to
this number on the assumption chat
the drug addlc5s throughout the coun-
try viii average ten per cent higher
than In Tennessee. giving IN round
numbers 247 900 drug victims for the
entire Country On these figures,
he concludes that 10000 IS max
mum estimate. and THAT the add7cts
annually use about s6t50o,00o WORTH OF
drugs unnecessarily.
These figures, as Mr. Brown says.
