The Effects of opiates,

TNHAT INFANTS are peculiarly susceptible to opium and it's various
preparations, all of which ar narcotic, is well known. Even in the
smallest doses, if continued, these opites cause changes in the func-
tons and growth of the cells which are likely to become permanent, causing
imbeciity, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol o narcotics in later life.
powers area result Of dosing with opates or narcotics to keep children quiet
in their infancy. The rule among physicians is that children should never
receive opates in the smallest doses for more than a day at a time, and
only then if unavoidable.
The administration of Anodynes, Drops, Cordias, Soothing syrups and
other narcotics to children by any but a physician cannot be too strongly
decned, and the druggist should not be a party to it. Children who are i'll

MORE THAN $50 LOST WHEN
SUBMARINES SANK VESSELS.
100 or More of Falaba's Passengers
and Crew and 26 From AguiIa arc
Missing and Are Thought to Have
Pcrishcd.

London, March 29.-UpWard of $50
lives were lost in the sinking by Ger
man submarines Saturday. and Sunday

Africa, and the British steamer
Aguila, Liverpool for London.

st. Georges channel, had aboard leo
passengers and a crew of 80. OF
this total only lao were rescued Eight
of those rescued died from exposure.
The Aguila was sunk by shell fire
Saturday night off the Pembroke
coast. She carried three passengers
and a crew Of AZ. Twenty-three OF
the crew and all Of the passengers
were lost. Another Dutch steamer,
the Amstel Of $50 tons, was blown up
by a mine off Marlborough Head to-
day.
In the case Of both the Falaba and
the Aguila, upon sighting the sub
marine the captain tried 20 escape by
putting on all speed possible, but the
underwater craft overlook the steam
ers, showing that Germany now has
some Of her most modern submarines
engaged in the operations against
England.
The captain Of the Falaba, who
was lost, was given five minutes to
get his passengers and crew into the
boats. but according to the survivors.
before this vas possible q torpedo
hit the engine room. causing an eXplo-
sion. Many were killed. and the steam
err sank in 10 minutes.
Trawlers rescued most Of those
saved; others got away in the boats.
Those still on the steamer when the
explosion occurred were thrown into
the sea and it took the fishermen an
hour or more to pick up those in the
water who managed to keep afloat.
| The Aguila was attacked by the
submarine U-28, which opened fire,
killing a woman passenger. the chief
engineer and two Of the crew. Even
after the crew had CONNIE, ced to
lower the boats, according to the sur
vivors, the Germans kept up their fire
and some Of the boats were riddled.
The captain ~ the trawler Ottilie,
whom the commander of the sub
marine told Of the sinking Of the
Aguila, went to the rescue and picked
up three boats containing 10 of the
crew. A fourth boat could not be
found, and it is presumed she foun-
dered. On their arrival at Fishguard
several Of the crew wore bandages,
having been wounded by the fire from
the submarine.
The admiralty statement follows:
"Twenty-three members Of the
crew and three passengers are miss
ing from the steamer Agiila.
The steamer Falaba, which also
sank carried a crew Of about 80 per-
sons and abou 160 passengers. About
.140 survivors have been picked up,
eight Of whom including the captain
died afterward. 1t is feared that
many persons on the steamer were
killed by the explosion Of the torpedo.
