walked into his room and found him
plastering down his hair with a brush.

What Is the Reason?
(St. Adams Messenger.)


The number of automobile and drown
ing accidents over the Fourth of July
period was staggering. Human life was
wasted as if it were of no account. And
the strange part of if is that the wasters
in the majority of instances, were the
victims themselves who. far from holding
life as of no account. desired to hang on
to it just like the rest of us Why it is
that people will not evaluate the perils of
summer on the road and in the water is
beyond understanding 1t would seem
that the saying that self-preservation is
the first law of nature does not apply to
a great many people

More opiates than ever are said to be
coming into the country in the seapOrts
of East and West alike, and also over
the northern and southern borders, and
there is less control of their distribution
lately in nearly every section. There is
also a marked relaxation of the efforts to
cure drug adicts which were undertaken
so generally three or four years ago.
There must be a widespread awakening
on this subject if the alcohol evil is not
to be replaced by a more deadly one.
