Half a Million dope"
Fiends in New York Are
DepriUed of Their Drugs

New York April 24.-The recent
adoption Of stringent regulations Tor
bidding the sale OF Opiates and habit
forming drugs in this city has revealed
the appallingeXtent 10 which this EVIL
has spread 1t is estimated that there
are between 100000 and 100000 drug
users in the greater city.
As a result OF the activities or the
police and federal agents in the en-
fOrcement Of the new drug law which
went into effect March /. the hospitals
and jails are being overcrowded with
victims of this habit. Many OF the
drug fiends. crazed by their inability
TO obtain narcotics, are still wandering
about the city by hundreds in states
ranging from semi-collapse to hysteria-
Every day numbers Of them come TO the
police begging that they be arrested
Pitiful scenes are enacted in the po-
lice station where men deprived OF
their daily dope" fall on the floor and
lay writhing until they have been treat
ed all the time Wailing for drugs
During a single day 20 "fiends" were
admitted to the city hospital The sit
uation is becoming so desperate that
city officials believe that a special in
stitutiOn viii have to be equipped to
deal with these cases
It has been said by well known drug
users who are now taking the cure at
the City hospital that unless the vic
tins are given medical treatment they
viii die by scores during the next few
weeks

A Mistake In Human Grinders

The dentist is not very optimistic creature when
he assures you that the tooth is bound to hurt whether
he pulls It out lets stay whatever he does As
matter of fact it VIII hurt if he never touches it.
People who endure every other kind Of pain and sus-
pense and trouble are seary Wild horse, when
they take seat in the red velvet chair with slippery
foot rest and electric drill fortunes hanging near like
snakes It is not surprising to find that any assembly
dentists proclams that the worlds teeth are getting
worse, particularly American teeth.
Teeth are the most pessimstic end Of the optimistic
man They battle the most ardent Christian Scientist
New Thinker they the bravest general Teeth
search out weak point Of pessimism in the strongest
entertainments of optimism, and they make the most
ardent and faithful believer in providence protest that
one mistake was made when the world was made
human teeth ought to be renewable like rats OF
sharks

London. Eng April 24-King George

the construction and repair work that
is now being carried out for the navy,

wise expressed a desire recently TO see
how work for the fleet is progressing

were taken over by the government at
the commencement OF the war. All

VIII make him happier
And yet an ill-natured nation
frowns upon this gratitude and stuffs
the legislator into a badly ventilated
jail, while the benefactor fails TO get
his money back and has to exc out a
living. lecturiuE on the sacrilege OF
legislating against business
Some states are very severe with
lobbyists They make them wear red
hats and green neckties. so that peo-
pie Will not mistake them for phil
anthropists or missionaries and forbid
them 10 enter the state capitol It
would be better II every lobbyist
should be compelled to see legislators
only in the rotunda Of the state capi-
tol. accompanied by a brass band
Nothing is so embarrassing to certain
brands of lobbyists as tG be compelled
to do business while the world is look
ing on It gums up his elOQuence uu-
til his money can hardly talk at all
Lawmakers need a great deal of in
formation and would be in a sad way
if the people did not stray into our
capitals and post them up occasion
ally But some lobbyists are too mod
est and retiring. They cannot talk
TO a lawmaker until they get him into
a hotel room and have hung a blanket
over the transom. MOdesty is a great
curse in politics.

4 LOBBYIST is a quiet man who
u takes a legislator aside. out Of
the draught and gives him some
eloquent arguments for or against a
bill.
There are many kinds Of lobbyists
and they use many kinds Of argu-
ments- Some of them endeavor to en-
tighten the legislator; some try to
frighten him. and some make every
effort TO remove his wife and children
from the reach OF want
Strange to say. the latter is the most
unpopular Of the three with the peo-
pie. Why should great and gen
erous nation frown upon noble
hearted lobbyist who is trying 70
crowd a wad OF hundred dollar bills
into the pocket Of a legislator when
he isn't Iooking2 Think Of the poor
statesmen who have plodded YEARLY
home at night, having had only eleven
kinds Of cigars for lunch and who
find when taking Off their overcoats,
that some benefactOr has stuffed the
said pockets so fun of bills that they
can afford only to take two weeks
off in a big city at the best hotel,
but viii have enough left for q can
Of beans for the children
Is il any wonder that such legisla-
tors make every effort to discover the

= INVESTIGATION of farm home life by the depart
ment of agriculture is bringing out letters from
farm wives all the country. Montana and
Texas Maine and California show deep unrest that
makes for better days the farm But the theories for
Fighting things range from asking Uncle Sam to pro
vide domestic science experiment stations throughout
the land where experts could demonstrate correct cook
ing, nursing, baby tending sewing and laundry work
which is bad idea-to asking the government to
do away with fashions so that womans dressing would
be easier and less expensive-whch is also fine plan
They ask for cheaper denatured alcohol and cheaper
medicines and medical services Some ask the govern
ment to sell electric power to farmers so that the
wife have lights and her separators, churns,
washing machines, and sweepers more easily.
They ask for model farm houses of four rooms and
up; they ask for farm houses to be built with the
kitchen in front the can see what is going
on, and with wash room in the vestibule where the
men can "red up" before coming into the kitchen.
They ask for telephones, for the adjustment of
quack medicines, and the suppression of the use
