Both a Blessing and a Curse

The new law restricting the sale of
narcotics which went into effect March
first is producing a tremendous effect
throughout the country, especially in
the cities. All hospitals are rapidly
filling up with dope fiends of every de-
cription converted into raving mauiacs
through the cutting off of their supply
of drugs. Thus the real need of the
law becomes more apparent with each
passing day. The Immediate care of
the unfortlnates is proving a severe
problem, but no one questions its uIti-
mately beneficial effects.
