! 500, 600 HabituaI Users of
Narcotics in Country Despite
Harrison Antinarcotic Law

No report of recent years will sur
prise the casual reader so much as
that made to the United States con-
gress by a special committee investi-
eating the use Of narcotics, observes
a writer in the Houston Post.
According to that report there are
no fewer than 1900, 900 habitual users
of narcotics in this country-and this
in spite Of the Harrison antinarcotic
law In force for several years.
The investigators say that 100000
people are known as users of drugs
and that 100000 are secretly addicted
to the habit.
They say that within the former
draft ages of twenty-one to thirty-one
are found 100000 known users of the
drug in the state of New York among
the men alone.
They say that thousands formed the
habit after they were drafted In or
der to insure their rejection from
the army.
They say that In spite of all pres
ent laws the use Of morphine, CO.
caine. heroin and similar medicines
and drugs is increasing more rapid
" than ever before in the history Of
this country.
They say that 1t is necessary imme-
diately to pass more stringent laws
for the protection Of people from the
@dope' vender.

Conservation of Fuel May
Be Made BY Using Furnace
Fire to Cook Some Dishes

An easy way to conserve fuel in
cooking is by utilizing the furnace
fire. Dishes that can be cooked in a
casserole are becoming more and more
popular and the furnace offers an
economical way Of preparing them.
Every furnace has, just within the
coaling door, wide ledge capable Of
holding a good-sized vessel. This
ledge is an excellent place for cook
ing dishes which require slow baking
or sort of stewing. Beans as pre-
pared In New England are deliciously
cooked on this ledge. For them an
earthen pot is even better than a cas-
serole. 1t should be large enough to
contain an extra amount of water, for
the evaporation is more rapid in so
place than in stove
or range oven.
A bean-pot, an earthenware vessel
with handle making it look almost
like a mug, is the best kind of uten-
sill as it has something by which it
can be moved.
The shape and size of the bean-pot
leaves space on the ledge for some
other vessel. Puddings and escalloped
dishes can be well-cooked and soup
can be made to simmer if the fire is
at low temperature. Casserole cook
cry also adapts itself to furnace prep
aration especially in the unglazed for
eign casseroles. The glazed articles
may crack in time under such heat as
CLOVIS in a furnace.

/. Keep accurate records. Little
progress can be made without this first
step. The average monthly and yearly
egg production, cost of feed and In
come from the flock should be known.
2. Feed properly balanced ration.
Such a ration furnishes nutrients for
growth, maintenance, fattening and
eggs. The production of eggs must be
a constant aim.
8. Give proper care and comfort by

cold, hunger and thirst, foul air and
dampness, and diseases and parasites.
4. Keep standardized, utility stock.
There are five good breeds for the
farm: Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island
Red. Leghorn, Wyandotte and Orping-
ton. Varieties Of these have been bred
for heavy egg production. There are
other good breeds for those who pre-
fer them.
5. Breed from the best, both male
and female. There are many signs Of
vigor and high production.
9. Sell improbable stock.
q. Market graded products. Maxi
mum returns are secured from graded
products. Markets demand constant
supply, and this calls for community
cooperation.
These seven steps win lead to sue
cess.
