DRUG ADD|CTS IS
AIM OF FOWLER
Clinic Merely Satisfies Craving
and Does Not Cure, Says
D. c. Health Head.

Institutional care for the treatment
OF drug addicts Is the only solution
OF the dope problem, according to DIR.
William C. Fowler. District health Of
ficer.
DIR. Fowler. several years ago real
lied the need for an institution where
addicts could be sent 10 obtain a
cure, and he drafted a bill for intro
duction in Congress asking an ap.
preparation OF S35, 900 to start the
work. The draft OF this bill was given
to the former board OF commissioners,
but never got any further.
The clinic idea. which II said to be
working well in some citi,s. is not the
best thing for the addict, In DR.. Fow.
ler's opinion. Several he has seen In
operation, he says, were doing any
thing but affecting a cure. What DIR.
Fowler has In mind for Washington
IL a combination hospital and clinic,
where persons who are addicted with
the hope habit can be sent for several
weeks until they are cured.
Cure Only Temporary Sometimes.
The curing OF a dope addict, accord.
ing to DR.. Fowler. is much like the
curing of the alcoholic habit. Some.
times the cure is permanent and some.
times II is only temporary.
II have observed the workings OF
several drug clinics in the large cities.
and j cannot say that 1t impressed
me very much" DIR. Fowler said. 1T
seemed to me that the clinics did not
help the addict in any way save to
get the drug he craved. OF course,
he only obtained II in small quantities,
but this was what he wanted, for in
many cases he had another source of
supply and by visiting the clinic he
was sure at all times of some of the
drug he craved. and he also saved
some money by buying direct from the
municipality. But he nearly always
keeps a line on the dope peddler.
THE usual method OF treating ad.
diets in clinics Is to examine them to
ascertain just how much dope they
have been taking and then give them
for a short time the same amount. The
drug is usually given them in a bot.
tie that is plainly marked with the
amount OF drug that is In IL. The
same size bottle is used all the time.
but the dose is gradually cut down
so that the addict will not notice II.
Anticipation Is Like Tonic.
Several years ago I was in an
other city and while about a block
away from the clinic, l saw a beau
tiful young woman come along the
street and go In the direction Of the
clinic. From her appearance ] i'm.
mediately picked her out as a dope
addict. waited for a few minutes
after seeing her go in. Shortly she
came out and again passed me. This
time she had drug in her possession,
but had not taken 1t. The look on
her face was altogether different from
the one she had when she went in.
The expectancy in her case was al
most as good a tonic as the drug
itself
"In these clinics they usually keep
two registers of the patients. One reg
ister gives their real name, age, oc.
cupation and other desired informa-
ton about them. The other enters them
on a fictitious name and carries them
along under this name so that their
affliction will not become known to
the public"

Too Many Outsiders.
ltor Mccormick has long
b with disfavor the heteroge-
group of spectators and by
1ers who occupy the red lounges
the Senate during the debates
Dkrefore he has attempted to ex-
ercise a censorship on the list of
those who have the floor privilege"
and to make the Senate a trifle more
exclusive than ii is at present.
He has not Disseminated only
against the District Commissioners,
however, but has included in his
list OF those to be barred the am
bassadors and ministers OF foreign
countries, members of the legisla-
tufSS Oi lOTelBu countries, JUICES VI
, the Court of Claims, eX-secretaries,
and ex-sergeants-at-arms of the Sen
ate. and other classifications,
ID. G. Not Perturbed.
1t has been many months since
any District Commissioner has
availed himself of the Senate floor
privilege. The present commission
ers have never visited the Senate,
except to attend committee hearings.
/ Occasionally former Commissioner
Brownlow would drop in on the Sen
ate, and also Colonel Kutz, former
Engineer Commissioner.
The Mccormick resolution has been
referred to the rules committee, OF
which Senator Curtis is chairman.
Senator Curtis is a benevolent and
scharitably disposed gentleman, who is
ilikely to look at the resolution long
ftime before he decides to report 1t.

aLET 1T OUT.

Not the harsh word. Not the
prompt and perhaps justifiable cen
sure. Not the sarcasm which bites
and stings. These slip out all too
easily. Ordinarily they were best
kept in. We shall rarely reproach
ourselves in after years, for failing
to say cutting things. But the kind
word, the praise which cheers, the
encouragement which everybody needs
let it out.
If there is any good that you can
say, say it eagerly. Where got we
the heathenish idea that gracious
words are to be saved as a miser
saves pennies.
Say the very best thing you can
think of concerning your friends, or
even your enemies. Better for to ex-
aggerate his virtue than his fault. If
we must err, let it be on the side of
kindness.-George Clark.

justified by any law, human or divine.

Loves Chief Work.

Loves chief work is that Of discov-
ering good, not evil. One who con-
stantly points out defects in others,
even though claiming as is often the
case, to do SO lin love-" has not
caught the root principle of love. 1t
was said of well known Christian
worker: Because love was the con-
trolling force OF his life, his energies
went out always as builder, never as
a destroyer. He destroyed evil, OF
course, but by building up the good. {
10 do its building work, love must be
able to recognize the materials TOR
building, and that is just where true
loves peculiar power lies. 1t sees
good in others when unlove sees only
faults, and it seizeS up the good III
such eager recognition that the power
OF that good is increased and multi
piled under loves warmth. lii we
would have love and use it, let us set
aside this sort of building in the lives
OF those about us. No other efforts
brings US such rich returns.-Selected.
The mass meeting held in the court
house on Wednesday afternoon was
move in the right direction. When
the Christian women of community
cooperate and will to do a thing,
success is assured-and if our social
life is not what it should be-We are
to blame.

that there will be some conversion privilege offered in order to
