C. DICKINSON TELLS HOW ADDICTS CONCEAL DRUGS;
ACTICES OF OPIUM COCAINE AND HERON USERS REVEALE

sometimes used for the same pur-
pose.
Habit-forming drugs may be
smuggled into institutions either
by addicts themselves or by their
friends. II an addict placed in an
institution IL 30 unfortunate - to
be without q supply, he win i'm

Friends ON the outside make
use Of citrus fruits to smuggle
narcotics into the prison or hos
pital. A long needle IL inserted
into an orange ana the solution
Of the drug injected: by sucking
the fruit, the addict can get the
effects Of the drug.
One Of the favor1te tricks Of
the addict Is to loiter near Q
physician's office and watch for
his departure. Then feign1ng Ill
ness he applies for treatment ana
IL told to wait until the doctors
return. This interval affords
ample time for him to rifle the
drug cabinet Of its narcotic con-
tents. Morphine addicts frequent
~ instil solutions Of atrophine
into the eyes In order to dilate
the pupils and thereby avoid de-
lection.
PRICES ARE VARYING.
Prices paid by the drug habitue
for his daily supply vary, de-
pending upon several factors. In
some seaport cities where police
activity Is not very great the
drugs may be had at reasonable
cost, but great risk attending the
handling OF drugs raises the price
many times.
The average "deck" purchased
from the street peddler. costs
about 50. and morphine In tablet
form about IS a tube. This Is
extortion, but the habitues seem
willing to pay the price. In New
York city 1t has been estimated
that the average daily supply Of
the drug costs about So; cocaine
Is more expensive than morphine.
At such prices. how can the
average addict meet the demands
of the drug and at the same time
occupy his place in the COM
munity on q moderate salary2
He cannot, and sooner or later,
no matter what his intellectual
or social level. he will begin to
drift downward.
Those using habit-forming drugs
finally resort to robbery when
without. funds or drugs. Driven
by the mad desire to secure
drugs. they will resort to almost
any means in order to relieve the
suffering and craving. This drives
the addict to theft and frequently
to more serious crimes. It is
the reason why so many drug
addictS find @ final term in
prison.

ment, is the tendency of boys and
girls TO slough off in their active par
ticipation in church affairs following
confirmation whereas the viewpoint
of the church is, that with conflrma-
ton, young men and women should
enter upon a period of useful and con-
tinuing activity in religious work, and
in consequence become more useful
members of the community.
This tendency was discussed at con-
siderable length at the recent Epis-
Copal general convention. The outcome
was the adoption of resolution au-
thorizing the creation by the national
council of commission which should
take into consideration ways and
means of holding boys Of the nation
to their religious obligations. This
commission has now been appointed
with Rev. Ernest j. Dennen, Archdea-
con Of the Diocese of Massachusetts,
as its chairman, and includes in its
membership the bishop coadjutor of
Massachusetts,, Right Rev. Charles l..
Slattery, ID. D.; Rev. W. Russell
Bowie, rector of Grace Church, New
York; Bishop Coadjutor Stevens Of
Los Angeles; Bishop Wise of Kan
sas; Prof. III. S. Langfeld, Of Har.
ward University; Rev. Gordon NJ.
Reese, of st. Louis; Rev. Herbert l..
johnson, of Phoenix, Ariz. Mr.. Doug
las Jameson, Of the Board of Com
merce of Detroit. and other represen-
tative churchmen.
Within the Episcopal Church are
such organizations as the Order OF Sir
Galahad, Boy Scouts, the Brotherhood
of st. Andrew and the Knights OF
Kink Arthur, all of which have been
laboring along the lines Of developing
Christian manhood. The plans of the
new commission contemplate, not an
additional organization, but, instead,
coordination of the work of all
those now in existence together with
increased efforts, as explained by DIR.

religious education, "to prepare the

N,OOO Pounds of

One of the best known cheese -
tories in the southwest is located in
Ell Centre, the Arrowhead Creamery
operating a plant just east of the
railroad tracks ON Main street, which
has monthly product of u 900
pounds of California Jack cheese,
which is made from milk produced
in Imperial Valley. The cheese finds
a ready market in Los Angeles,
where it is extremely popular be
cause of its high quality and excel
lent flavor This latter feature is
attributed by Manager J. G. Lewis
to the excellent condition of lmper
ial Valley cattle and the lusci cious
feeding they obtain here.
The Arrowhead Creamery is own
ed by +. j. Peacock of San Bernar-
dino, at which place he operates a
