BASEBALL LEAGUE
FOR NEXT YEAR
Close Game Between Miller and
Rec Heights

One Of the best games of the sea-
o occurred at the local bail park
Sunday between Rec Heights and
the home team. The west side
athletes came down strengthened
up by some new players and full of
cofidence. And they had reason
therefor in a very good battery,
their pitcher being Huett. of the
De Smet team, and their catcher
Sieverding, of Brookings. But the
fates decided otherwise, and the
locals copied the game by 5 to A.
The mound artists were a tie on
strike outs. 5 each. But Garry had
the best of it on hits. He allowed
the visiting team to connect
with six blngles, while Huett was
touched up for nine. The game was
umpired by George Pike and Virgil
Gardiner.

throughout the country, we would
have a total of something more than
$4,000 drug habitues, consuming ap-
proximately 1,146.000.000 average
doses q year.
Granting the somewhat improba-
BILE assertion that 80 per cent Of the
opium imported is used illegitimately.
at the rate that it is said to be con-
sumed in Tennessee, we could have
as a maximum not more than 1877 900
users of opium. its derivatives and
alkaloids, in all parts Of the United
States.
I'm regard to the use Of cocaine. q
recent authority asserts that one
ounce of cocaine is enough to keep
so fiends thoroughly well doped for
a year. Granting that all the avail
able 10000 ounces of cocaine were
used illegitimately, there could be at
this rate a total of 100000 cocaine
fiends in the United States.
THAT this estimate is somewhat
high would appear from a report by
c. G. Steinmetz, who made a study Of
Is men who acquired the habit while
employed where the drug Is manufac-
tured. The daily quantity taken va.
ried from 20 to 30 grains; the method
Of taking it was solely by snuff1ng It..
Even on the basis of the lower quality
the consumption per annum would be
in the neighborhood of Is ounces, and
this would reduce the possible number
of cocaine fiends very materially.
pharmacists will appreciate that
the figures given by Steinmetz are
much more in accord with actual prac-
tice than are the figures previously
quoted. Taking all the available facts
into consideration. it would appear
that the estimate made by the Com
mittee of the American Pharmaceuti-
cal association some years ago that
the drug addicts in this country do
not exceed 100000 in number is ap-
proximately correct. even at the pres
ent time.
THAT other previously made esti-
mates of the number of addicts in this
country were altogether erroneous Is
further evidenced by the published re-
ports on hospital admissions since the
Federal Antinarcotic law came into
effect. 1t has been predicted that the
result Of the enforcement of that law
would be a besieging Of hospitals by
drug addicts and a crime wave of ma
tional scope accompanied by trail Of
suicide and death. While the effects
of the enforcement of the federal law
have been clearly evidenced by hos
pital reports, the results have been by
no means SO far-reaching or so star
Ting as had been expected"
One conclusion reached by investi-
gators Is that from 80 to 95 per cent
OF narcotic users do SO unnecessarily.
It has been asserted. he found. that
the average person will develop an ad-
diction to opium or one of its aka
loids after 80 days of daily use. and
after continuing the use for three
months or more it is impossible to
discontinue its use without medical
aid.

MATTER OF COMMON SENSE
Girl Who Would Retain Her Beauty
Must Exercise Reason In the
Selection Of Food.

In the Woman's Home Companion
Alice Farnham Leader, q New York
physician. tells how girls can keep
their good looks. She says that health
depends upon food, sleep and fresh air,
and not upon pills and prescriptions.
Her article is full of practical sug-
gestions as to diet. sleep and exercise
Following is brief extract from what
she has to say about food:
Rich pastry, frozen creams and
candy are difficult to digest and. iE
addition to menacing the health. they
cause positive LONELINESS They con-
tain more sugar and fat than the sys-
tenn can possibly assimilate. and the
surplus is carried to the skin, whers
1t makes its appearance in the form
of pimples and blackheads. To avoid
such foods doesn't mean giving up
all desserts. Let your choice rest be-
tween light custards. fruits and ices
Coffee and tea are not always in
furious. provided they are taken in
moderation. Never drink more than
one cup of coffee for breakfast, and
add cream and sugar with q grudging
hand. Drink plenty of water. hot and
cold. Nothing will promote digestion
and prevent sickness as will q glass
of water slowly slipped Immediately
upon arising in the morning. The hu-
man body requires at least a quart Of
water a day. that is about a half pint
every two or three hours.
IF the average woman gave as
much attention to that much abused
organ. the liver. as she does to her
finger nails. her face would need less
attention. No wonder the liver rebels
and reacts upon the complexion. its
spite being betrayed in the form Of
pimples. sallowness and black shad-
ows under the eyes,"

WAR ON 1.-TWO FOR" CIGARS
to Pry Into Manufacture Of
Cheap Smokes.

want the health department of this
town to extend its paternalism to the

of health's operations now include.
among other things. the supervision
Of the milk supply and the manufac-
ture of ice cream, the dispensing OF
soda water, the washing of glasses in
beer saloons and the elimination of
mosquitoes.
Those who would have the health
authorities pry into the manufacture
of the cheaper cigars assert that they
are as much a menace to health as
impure milk. infected beer glasses
and the mosquito. Few cigars arc
manufactured in this town, but 1t is
asserted that the health department
has as much right to control the
source of the cigar supply as it has
to insist on certain regulations for the
protection of the towns milk supply,
most of which comes from New York

DON'T KISS, JUST "PAT PAT"

Huntington, w. Va.-Dr. E. w. Grow.

custom of kissing must stop, be-
cause, he says, it spreads tuberculosis

Doctor Grover advocates the pat
pat" as a substitute. This method of
greeting was originated in the Repub-
lie of Dominica. where a campaign
against the kiss was waged with dis
astrous results to Cupid.
To apply the pat pat" the doctor
explains. a couple Osculatorily inclined
should approach each other within
hand-shaking distance. pat each other
lightly on the cheek and smile. Doc
tor Grover says there is too much

sions the health service has been

Practically all the opium and coca
used In this country is imported
through legitimate channels, Mr.. Viii.
bert finds. Because of the compare.
lively high import tax. care is exer-
cised to insure the reporting and re-
cording of all the products so that
lairly accurate data are at the dis.
posal Of the investigator. The rec
ords show that for several years the
total amount of such drugs imported
mas been fairly uniform and will az
gregate an average of approximately
2.600.000.000 doses Of opium, its de-
rfvatives and alkaloids. and $4,000, 900
doses Of coca leaves and cocaine.
These figures serve to definitely fix
the amount Of available material. and
quite regardless of the proportion of
the several drugs that may be used
legitimately or illegitimately, the sum
total of illegitimate use cannot we'll
exceed the sum total of the available
material.
