ference of Social Work. win.
gather in Washington in May to
consider ways and means of
bringing about great revival
of public interest in social vel
fare"
Since the World War, declares
an advance announcement OF the
assemblage, social work generally
throughout the United States has
been going throughsa period OF de.
preston and lack of interest.
PROGRAM MAPPED.
This years program has been
formulated to accomplish these
three things:
TO review the progress made
during the past fifty years in the
various fields of charities, correc.
ton. and health.
To measure the extent to which
the ideals Of social welfare, which
have grown directly out Of the
study Of these humanitarian agen.
cies, have succeeded in affecting
social conditions, constructively
and on the preventive side.
TO Determine how the ideals OF
social welfare, slowly evolved from
long years of experience in deal.
ing with end results of social mai
adjustment, may further perrneate
and influence the outstanding IN.
stitufions Of society and therein
reduce to q minimum the necessity
for relief and for correction. 1T

not q thing apart, but that il fs
closely related to schools. home life,
the church, etc. and to various
phases Of government.

started with half grain. then be
gan taking grain in the morning
and another at night when going to
bed. After while was taking
the dope throughout the day.
There is no use trying to stop
the dope selling unless steps are
taken-and taken immediately-tc
go after the peddler. He's the devil
in human flesh who is responsible
for the wrecking of mind, soul and
body Of our young men and women.
REGARDED AS OUTCAST.
The dope addict is a sick person.
But they are not treated as
diseased. They are looked upon as
castaways-good people shun them.
They do not receive proper treat
ment and when sent to some of the
State and city hospitals are not
given nourishing food, proper med
icines or accommodations. And,
after two weeks of supposed ex'
pert treatment, they are practically
thrown out only to return to their
Old haunts-and the peddler.
The world again looks good to
me. 1 never expect to go back to
the use of dope. Its prevalence is
the greatest curse upon humanity
today. I have something to live
fora baby, the son of relative.
intend to devote my entire life
to the rearing of this child. but I
would rather see the baby dead
than to ever become a drug addict.
CRAVING KEEPS UP.
The dope fiend will do anything,
commit murder almost in order
to get just enough of the drugs to
quiet their nerves. But it's only
temporary relief they receive. When
the drugs die out, the mental tor
ture begins. More drugs are cravcd.
Then begins the gradual downfall
loss of position, loss of friends,
loss of everything which goes for
dope.
Crush the dope evil. But in
doing so, care for the addict prop
erly and drive the peddler to prison.
AS long as the drug peddler is at
large you will never crush the evil.
