half-hour intervals. That is, If a
patient is accustomed to is grains
of morphine daily, he is given u
grains in three doses. About s hours
later third dose of half this amount
is given. The supply is then cut OFF
During a period varying from "a to -
hours the patient suffers, sometimes
intensely. This is to be expected.
The craving produced by the use Of
a powerful habit-forming drug is not
to be eradicated without suffering. But
at the end of this period the craving
is gone.
This sane and humane method of
treatment is being pursued by more
and more communities in this Coun-
try. Instead of simply throwing the
drug victim into Jail. to suffer use
less agony, he is committed to
municipal hospital or other institu-
tion. He is obliged to remain until
discharged. If he is troublesome or
runs away, the police are notified
and he is sent to the penitentiary.
Experience, however, has shown that
a very large percentage of the per
sons committed are anxious to be
cured from the curse of the drug
which has dragged them down Where
it is possible, after treatment is con-
tinued in order to build up the
strength of the patient This is i'm
portant as aside from the craving it
self the drug addict is apt to be in a
weakened physical condition.
Prosecution of Drug Sellers.
While experience has shown that
much better results are obtained by
treating the drug victim as a patient,
not as a criminal, the illegal seller of
drugs should be prosecuted to the
limit of the law. His profits are de
liberately built up from wrecked lives.
1t is not always easy to obtain evil
dence against drug peddlers, A very
practical method is employed by the
police of some cities after the arrest
of drug victim. The addict is lock-
ed in a cell, deprived of his drug, but
told that he will be taken to a hos
pital for treatment as soon as he re
yeals the identity of the person who
had supplied him with drugs He
knows or is told that part of the
treatment includes dose of the tlug
he Graves. Sooner or late he will
give the required information. Whit
ever else may be said of this method,
it always produces results.

MATISM? a.?


Those of us who are past middle
age are prone to eat too much meat
and in consequence deposit lime-salts
in the arteries, veins and joints. We
often suffer from twinges of rheu
matism or lumbago, sometimes from
gout. swollen hands or feet. There
is no longer the slightest need of this,
however. as the new prescription,
"Anuric," is bound to give immediate
results as it is many times more
potent than lithia, in ridding the i'm
poverished blood of its poisons by
way of the kidneys. 1t can be OBJ
tanned at almost any drug store, by
simply asking for "Anuric" for kid
neys or backache. 1t will overcome
such conditions as rheumatism, drop
sical swellings, cold eXtremities, scald-
ing and burning urine and sleepless-
ness due to constant arising from bed
at night.

have that effect upon horses, neither
did the bicycle nor automobile. Today
there are more horses in this coun-
try than there were ten years ago,
and prices are considerably higher.
The one thing that the farm trac-
tor will do is to supply the need of
power on the farms which horses
cannot give. Take away the farm
tractors which are in use today and
several hundred thousand horses
would be required to replace them,
or if horses could not be had the
lands would have to go unplowed and
untitled.
The number of tractors now in use
will be multiplied many times within
the next ten years, but there will be
as many horses in this country as
there are today, and prices Will be
even higher than now.
Farm tractors are becoming ne
cessity, just as electric cars have be
come-the same as telephones have
supplanted the telegraph in way and
have taken the place or messenger
boys and quick delivery of mail. No
one will agree that there are not
more miles of telegraph wire in use
today than ten years ago, nor can it
be said that there are fewer messen-
ger boys, yet the telephone is in most
every business house and in many
households, doing work for which
there was little demand few years
ago.
The farm tractors will simply fit
into the greater needs of the country
and will do the heavier chores and
drudgery which horses are little fit
for They will not replace the horses,
but will simply assist them and make
life easier for them They will also
enable farmers to breed better horses
because their mothers will be kept
for that purpose instead of spending
half or more of their time in doing
heavy work. Let us not dream too
long upon the practicabilty Of the
horseless farm. 1t is long way off,
as yet.

San Antonio, Tex, July IRE
mount Station No. 2, at Fort Sam
Houston is being doubled in size,
and within two weeks $4,000 horses
will be at this post undergoing the
three-week probationary treatment
before going into army service.
Every horse bought for the army
is subjected to this three weeks of
observation. In this way the armys
mounts are kept free from contagious
equine diseases, which otherwise
might wreak havoc with the cav
airy or artillery horse flesh.
Fifteen thousand head of horses
means that the consumption of oats
at Fort Sam Houston will be 6,525
bushels per day or 195,75O bushels a
month.
Seventy tons of hay day will be
required for this many horses-2,1O0
tons a month.
Buyers are now securing the middle

DRUGS AND DRUG VICTIMS
(Bv State Board of Health)

(Bv State Board of Health)
That the recent statement of an
Oklahoma City detective that the sale
of habit-forming drugs and number
of drug victims is as great as a year
ago is founded upon absolute facts
may be doubted. The Harrison fed
eral law and stricter enforcement of
state laws certainly have reduced the
traffic in such drugs. That the num-
Der of drug addicts is still far too
large. unfortunately is true. And 1t
is equally true that the methods used
by many communities in dealing with
victims of the dope habit are crude
and barbarous.
The use of cocaine, morphine, her
DIN, opium derivatives except under
the direction of qualified physician
is against the law This is necessary.
This has caused officials of the law
and to a certain extent the general
public to regard drug addicts as Grim
inals, not as persons suffering from
disease. They are looked upon as
persons who have done wrong and
should be punished. not as persons
who should be cured. 1t is, however,
with the community not a question
of fixing moral responsibility, but a
practical question of eliminating the
drug evil. Curative measures have
had a considerable degree of success
along this line; simply punitive meth
DDS have been a failure.
Craving Can Be Cured.
To thrust the drug victim into Jail
or other confinement simply cutting
off abruptly his supply of drugs, is
both an inhuman and unscientifc
method of treatment. Cases thus
cured are few and far between and
the suffering is not only cruel, but
useless. Within recent years well de-
fined methods of curing the drug cray-
ing have been carefully worked out
and have succeeded in large num-
ber of cases. One of the best known
of these methods is the Lambert
Towns treatment, which is used in
many hospitals. The patient is first
given powerful cathartics. The basis
of the treatment is essentially a
of belladona and hyoscyamus.
This of course must be given under
the direction of a physician and much
better results are obtainable where
treatment is given in an institution
than at home.
The patients drug supply is not
cut off Immediately. First a dose |
to twO-thirds of the usual !
daily dose is given in three doses at

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catar-
rhal deafness. and that is by cOnsti-
tutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition Of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is intlamed
you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result. Unless
the inflammation can be reduced and
this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed for
ever. Many cases of deafness are
caused by catarrh, which is an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts
through the blood on the mucous sur
faces Of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness

HORSELESS FARMS LONG
WAY OFF, AS YET

Some prophets and sons of pro
phets who predict that horses on the
farms will soon be only a memory
will have passed away, and pleasing
epitaphs will be carved into the
stones which mark their resting pla-
ces, long before their prophesies will
become fact. The introduction of
the farm tractor will not, as some
believe. remove the horses from the
fields and from their pastures, Farm
Machinery" asserts.
The advent of street cars did not
