"pussyfoot," and would most GER
tainly have initiated against her in
the present election had she not
had the good sense to keep it we'll
covered beneath a multitude of other
planks. AS matter of fact, charged
directly with "pussyfootism," she
denied it, saying she simply wanted
to make peoples homes brighter
and happier. No, Lady Astor GER
tainly couldn't allow a prohibition
plank to be visible on her platform
and hope to carry an English con-
stituency.

predicts a 10000 majority, almost as
much as her husband secured when

A Three
Cornered Fight

The fight at the polls will be
three-co1nered Both the Lab
and Liberal parties have candidates
IN the field, fact which will en-
nance Lady Astor's chances of VIC
tory. Plymouth Liberals have Sc
lected Isaac Foot, a local lawyer,
thrice defeated for Parliament in
nelghborlng constituencies, the last
time by the ex-Lord Mayor of Lon
don. He is not particularly brill
liant campaigner, being naturally
completely overshadowed in this re-
spect by Lady Aston, and has no
particular political record. Labor
candidate is w. T. Gay, who was
$4,000 votes behind Major Waldorf
Aston at the last general election.
The Labor party in Plymouth is
small but active. Gay himself would
make a good but modest member of
the House. IL should be content"
he said, a smallish man with droop-
ing mustache, Ito play the humblest
part. In this fight l have but one
ambition, and that is to give the
best that is in me for the uplifting
Of the common people"

candidate.

Picking Up
The Threads

The old organization Of the Motor
Corps forms nucleus for a peace
organization. The new organization
will have as its object the picking
up Of the broken threads Of various
social welfare societies which lapsed
more or less during the war.
Perhaps the newest bit of work
undertaken by the Motor Corps is
that of transporting drug addicts
from the narcotic drug clinic on
Worth Street to the ferry whence
they make their journey to the Riv-
erside Hospital for six weeks cure.
The corps is working under DR..
Royal Copeland, Commissioner OF
the Department of Health of the
City Of New York.
In accordance with a plan Of DR..
Copeland, the Riverside Hospital OF
North Brother Island was converted
on August /, 1919, into a sana-
forum exclusively for the treatment
of drug addicts. Five hundred and
twenty three men and one hundred
women can be accommodated.
Patients are subcommittee for
six weeks. The hyoscine treatment
is given. The first ten days are
used for actual treatment, the Sec
ond week or ten days for GONZALES
cence and the remainder Of the time
for rehabilitation of the patients
mental and physical forces.
DR.. Copeland is pretty well salts
fed with the way in which these
drug addicts are progressing The
desperate side Of the problem is the
attitude of society toward them
after the physical cure is fact.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-11-16
Sick Persons,
Not Criminals

These drug addicts should be
considered sick persons, not crimi-
nails. When they have been cured
they must not be thrown back
among their old associates. am
doing all / can for them physically.
But unless society takes care of
them after their bodies are cured
my work has been in vain.
Colonel Bastedo and her Motor
Corps are a help in getting these
afflicted men and women to take
the hyoscine cure. They present
themselves at the clinic and call off
the names of the men or the women
whom they are to transport. Their
Uniforms dispel the atmosphere Ct
obvious uplift work. The persons
upon whom the drug has its hold
must go to the hospital of their
own free will. But the manner Of
these uniformed motor women, their
unconscious kindness and their mat
ter-of fact bearing cannot our m
fluence those afflicted in making
their decisions. After all, most of
them are very young.
Children" Dr. Copeland calls
the drug ajdicts, and indeed a day
watching them off to the hospital
confirms his ~erminology. The no
ticeable feature on the mems day
at the drug clinic is the large pei
centage Of addicts who are returned
soldiers. Many of them acquired
the habit when they had inAu-
enxs.

An American Woman
From plymouth Town"

England narrowly missed the
election treat of it's life. The orig
inal plans Of the Plymouth Liberals
would have provided Lady Aston
with an opponent worthy of her
mettle. An effort was made to per-
suade ex-Premier Asquith to 60
down to Plymouth and contest the
seat. He intends to return to Par
lament shortly. Asquith, however,
declined when he learned that it was
to be a three-cornered fight. Posi-
bly,, too, he feared the outcome of an
electioneering battle with the viva
cious Nancy"

countess Astor contests embraces the

Francis Drake is reputed to have

ing the war, a United States naval

A Real
Social Reforrner

Lady Astor's constituents know
her as a real social reformer. Her
social work at Plymouth has includ-

the war she manifested interest in
the welfare Of soldiers and sailors,
both British and American, and was
extremely active In hospital work
She was also interested In the Sal

scout the idea, however.
"It is just the old story Of these

"Dislike of the idea of being repre-

al I NJ. c. A, steps will be taken to
utilize the experience Of hundreds of
canteen workers who served in
france While other matters of i'm
portance are to be considered, the
woman question leads in interest.
More than 5000 girls, who went to
France for the organization, have
come home stimulated by war SER
vice for further useful work. Ap-
plications for welfare positions have
poured into headquarters Of the

Surgeon General Blue, of the
United States Public Health Service, in
a recent statement from Washington,
warns the public that the much-cread-
ed influenza epidemic will probably
return this fall and winter. All med
ical authorities agree that the weak,
bloodless, rundown individual is more
likely to contract this las well as any
other infectious diseased than is the
strong, robust, redblooded man or wo-
man. In view of these fa:ts, II is
wise to use every effort to build up the
blood and thus increase the bodily
resistance to the invasionS Of the
germs of the disease. Guides Pepto-
Mangan is an absolutely dependable
red blooded builder in all conditions
of lowered vitality not due to serious
disease Of the vital organs. II i'm

the cheeks, and creates new hope and
