A Warning Based on Facts.
BEFORE

New York police raided the rooms OF man under sus
picion and found hundred thousands COLLARS worm
That stock had been purchased tor the
of resaen defiance of the awto those poor
who had become the victims OF habit
In Chicago week or two ago woman VINO had once
been member of decent society arrested In one OF the
ctys dives where she had been living for weeks sat
rated with drugs and obvious to her foul surroundings
As part of police proceedings she was photographed
We reproduce that picture and with another which shows
the woman she few months before she TOOK ner
first dose of narcotics.
The pictures tell her story better any text could
You see what the drug has done to her beauty and to
her of decency In her struggling hair and
dress you see the index of lost morals and crumbed pride
You feel sure you would not wish to follow In her loot
steps no matter what unreal pleasure she thought she
gained from the use OF the drug.
One of the masterpieces Of English literature writ
ten by man who having acquired the drug habit, was
happily able release himself from its grasp and write
down graphic language the horrors which came from his
excesses.
De Quincy was less than twenty years old when he
first tasted opium He thirty six when his famous Con
fessions of Opium Eater appeared In the London
Magazine.
He was proof that evil habits do gain their victims
wholly in the underworld among those who acquire tastes
for drugs through ignorance of their after effects.
Because immoral Individuals the sake of the great
profits to be made from the illegal sale of morphine and
heron and other drugs willing to start innocent young
and the path to the btterest KIND OF sorrow
and warning those who have never INDUCED to keep
away from narcotics and from those who them Hearst

write the story experiences her first of the
drug and of how she came to be its willing victim
The series which she has written begins in the May
issue under the title 'The Sting of the Needle

habit of taking heron.
See how desperate becomes for the effects which
only be obtained another dose of the forbidden drug
See how destructive is its to all sense of morality
and decency and how completely it separates from
friends and everything that is worth while and beautiful
If this series of articles in Hearss Magazine results in
saving only person from the drug habit it will have
fully justified the wisdom of the editors in its publication
But its careful reading by thousands will multiply the good
which it intended to do and that is why calling
your especial attention to it.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I'm until now I have read your
columns OF helpful advice to others.
I need not try to tell you how much
I admire you: others have done so
better than / could. I am girl
OF eighteen and have lived in this
city for a year and a half. In ordcr
to meet other girls l Joined a club
here. I soon found that the girls
were only in for good times, with
members OF a boys club, to whom
I was introduced. ono of the boys
became quite attached to me and I
grew to like lLm very wei. Though
he isn't very good looking he is
very intelligent and that counts
with me- We went together FOR
year and though he didn't take me
out often, he always acted as my
escort from any affair. one night,
however. another chap asked to
take me home, and because l was
peeved at tho other for not asking
me first. left without saying good
bye. The next day the two clubs
had a quarrel and since then tfour
months ago) he hasn't spoken to

please tell me what to do. as mother
doesn't understand and I'm sure
you will. can't go up to him and
ask for an explanation because he
isn't the sort who would explain
outright, and besides l haven't the

girl friends might be able to bring
us together again? I am giving a
party next week, shall | invite
him? Please publish this soon as
/ am waiting for your kind advice.

I'd send him an invitation to the

is over. n he doesn't, there Is no

matters stand. Don't think your
mother doesn't understand. She
does. a great deal better than you
imagine, but she probably has so
many big worries In these days OF
high prices that your little affairs
seem much less important. Have
good times with your boy and girl
friends, but don't start to grow
away from your mother. She's
worth more than all the boys and
