FIVE years. Basing my opinion on my
twenty years experience as a drug
specialist. do not think that drug
addict could get into trouble within
two years. That is his case would
not be SO far advanced as to have him
brought to the attention of the police.
OF course, the internal revenue de-
partment makes arrests at times OF a
drug vendor who names persons to
whom he sold the drug, and they are
arrested. OF course, Prohibition may
have driven inveteratc drinkers in
some cases to the Use of drugs. but
doubt II Later on we may have cases
where d man will admit that he took
drugs because he could not get drink,
out thc time is too short at present
for sueh an admission to be believed
Drug Sales Decrease

has decreased in the past few years
and that il would decrease still fur
thcr in the next few years, was the

The use Of drugs has decrea sed,

did it. Where We formerly bought
opium by the case three or four years
ago. VIC now buy it by the pound. OF
course there may be cases where drug
addiction has increased since Prohibit
ton came into effect. but Judging from
our sales, they are even stopping its
use as medicine"
The single exception in the consen-
sus OF opinion that Prohibition has
not increased drug addiction was ex-
pressed by W. Y. Tyler legal director
OF the Anti-Nice and Citizens Wei
fare League who said that he believed
that i'll the future many former liquor
drinkers would take to the use Of
drugs.

The executive committee OF

scarcely anybody will know

The increased activity OF all old wet
organizations together with th c
launching of new wet leagues and
societies gives sharp warning to the
drys that the next Legislature in Hi
nois will be captured by the vets IN
less they stay on guard. Legislative
candidates will be nominated at the
primaries to be held in April this year
under the new state primary law. In
the last session the Illinois Prohibi-
ton Act was passed by danger
ously close margin. a strenuous
fight by the vets and Indifferent fight
by the drys would be certain to turn

unitedly for endorsed candidates or go
down in defeat before the wet ma
