Establishment of. Federal

sddicts can receive the cure"
treatment without fear of arrest,
b the only way that the drug
evil can be effectively stamped out.
This is the declaration that was
made to me many times by my
unfortunate husband, and since 1
have seen the habit at its worst,
I too believe that this is the only
solution of the desperate situat
ton.
In view OF the great number Of
addicts in this cIty. this cure
institution should be located here.

Of the country.
There never was a drug addict
that after he or she had become
enslaved did not sincerely desire to
rid themself of the habit that
was sapping them of their will
power and self-respect.
FEAR ARREST.
They attempt TO free them
selves. but they meet with little
or no success because of the
temptations that daily confront
them AID cause them to give up
the ,fii -, and return to their old
habiks.
They are afraid 10 lay their
case before the authorities or
physicians because of the fear
that they will be arrested, rough
ly treated and thrown into a
prison cell.
AT an institution for the treat
ment of addicts. large per-
centage of them could be saved
from the fate that befell my hus-
band.
Husbands who are in the grip
Of the damnable habit could be
sent back to their wives and chill
dren, capable of providing
good home.
Young women could again take
their places as wives and mothers.
Men and women. who are now
In ill-repute because of their
addiction to drugs, could return
to their former positions in
society.
Surely this would make the
establishment of the institution
we'll worth the money expended.
There is much good left in the
worst Of drug addicts. All that
good needs is proper treatment to
bring it to the surface and to
forever banish the bad.
At this institution, a record OF
all the addicts could be kept and
by proper treatment. the patients
could be slowly weaned of their
habit without much suffering to
them.
This method of treatment is
not merely the idea of my hus-
band or myself. II has been tried
