COFFEE A NARCOTIC
 AND DOPE WITH OPIUM
coffee, like opium, holds victims in pitiiess grasp.

q would like to make everyone thoroughly understand that coffee is a narcotics very strong narcotic, too" says pr. C. S. Carr in a com munication to the Ohio State Journal.
 There is no drug in the pharm- acopeia that has a more powerful ef- feet upon the brain centres than cof- fee. Coffee Is a dope and narcotic almost equal to opium. To be sure, it does not produce at once the men tai disaster that opium does. Slowly but surely coffee gets control of it's victim and holds him in it's grasp, q pitiful., helpless victim

Crampton. The commission will en- deavor to put some legislation through to that effect and will do its best to educate the public mind out of the general careleSsneSS and disregard for the fish and game laws which now ex- ist
 The luncheon followed a meeting of the commissioners, during which d report was read, showing that 222 deer had been killed in this state since the new deer law went into effect. Mir. Champion said that if the fish, ing laws were rigidly enforced and ] more stringent ones were enacted, il would be easy enough for Connecticut l people to have fishing and canning 1 industry on their own river as good as that near San Francisco. He spoke | of the Pennington river, the princi- | pal fishing tributory of the Connecti- cut, and said that there were now more than eighty nets, each stretched 1 two. thirds of the way across tha' ! stream and so arranged that every fisf 1 must take a Zig-zag course to escape I 1 Connecticut.
