WEDNESDA Z
The Investment of Life

Read Mt. 2O:2O-34. Text: 2O:2S. The
Son of man came not to be ministered
unto, but to minister.
Jesus intense passion for working
with the will OF God in leading men
forward must have continued with
undated force after death. The
resurrection of Jesus, then, meant to
Him the confederation of the sense Of
'Messianic' leadership which had been
developed in His soul. This supreme
leadership was continued after death. 3"
MEDITATION: Jesus considered
the calling Of men to an unself1sh life
of more value than simply living on
Himself. He had committed Himself
unreservedly to the one purpose Of in
vesting His all for others.
PERSONAL QUESTION: In what
ways am I ministered to by others
daily?
PRAYER; Almighty God. our
Father, we pray that we may realize
our inheritance in Christ May Thy
spirit cause us to be conscious of the
eternal even as we are engaged in
our common labor. Let us see the re-
lationship of Thy kingdom, and grant
US the assurance that we are CO.
workers with Thee, through Christ.
Amen.

PERIL OF NARCOTICS
BY CAPT. RICHMOND P. HOBSON
- V-HOaU Narcotics Work.

A condition Of torture sets in. The
muscles become knotty, cramps en-
sue in the abdomen and viscera, and
pains, as though a sword were being
thrust through the body, succeed each
other.
This suffering, called withdrawal
symptoms" representing the most
acute torture ever devised or de-
scribed, continues for days Usually
death will ensue If the addict is far
advanced, and the doses or shots 70
are stopped.
Tho addict comes to look on the
question of getting his supply of The
drug~not only as important for his
well.being. so that he can do his work
or look after his business. but as
necessary to his very life. He cannot
obtain "A sufficient supply lawfully.
He is thrown at once into the law
less world. He comes to look on the
rest OF society as his enemy, with its
hand against him.
Formerly, most addicts were the re-
suit OF medical treatment. Addicts
OF this sort now represent but Il small
fraction. They are now recruited in a
systematic, organized way.

The reaction is Immediately to de-
velop antitoxins to neutralize the
toxins.
One-eigth Of a grain of morphine
is dose in medicine. and one-twenty-
fifth of a grain of heroin is sufficient
to put one under the drug. In few
days, or even a shorter time. the sys-
tenn will have developed antitoxins
sufficient to neutralize this quantity
The drug effect will be felt only
after getting beyond the naturalization
point. Then it will be necessary to
have a quarter Of a grain, later half n
grain, and soon a grain. One grain
of morphine is fatal dose to a person
unaccustomed to the drug.
The average addict is taking more
than ten grains of morphine daily
moro than eighty times a dosee He is
pa; ing on an average more than a
dollar a grain. Seine are taking
twenty grains, some fifty. There are
records of more than 100 grains taken
daily.
When the drug begins to subside,
as it does in few hours. through the
action of the skin and the kidneys,
tie antitoxins do not subside. Re
naming in the system un-reutralized,
they act like irritating poisons. The
harmful effect is general-nothing es-
capes.

THE WOMES'S VOTE

The result of granting the franchise to women is just beginning to be seen here, as shown by the total vote at the. republican primaries yesterday sorns 1.5o0 mon and women cast their ballots for their preferences. The best Of authority on republican affairs de- slarss that almost as many women as nisa voted. in his opinion.
 This 'outpouring" of 1,50o voters out of nearly 10000 eligibles is con- sidered large vote in primaries where there is no contest for the nomination for the office of mayor, as is theease at present in the two parties. Of course this is not, in fact a "heayy" vote. It is heavy only by comparison.
 Nor does this "heayy" vote indicate great general interest in politics in this city. It indicates. rather, that women are becoming interested in this new phase of their lives. A close observer remarks that in the vote in the third ward for instance. from thirty-fye to forty per cent were women, many of whom were just re- gently made voters.
 The Herald has urged that the women Of the city show their interest in the city's affairs or. lacking that in- tcrest now. 10 develop 1t. From year to year there has beon seen a steady increase in this evidence of interest, Of which the candidates for office and office holders would do well to take notice. When a candidate for the council is nominated by votes nearly half of which were cast by women, 1t is hs duty. when taking stand in the common council upon any matter, 10 remember that the women have had a hand in his nomination and subse- qnent clec,ion and that he should con- sider the women's point Of view as well ss that of the men when hecasts his vote,

 At first l was kind of scared to get Haccinated. but l went home and put on three pair Of extra heavy socks, so l wouldn't get cold feet, and when l walked into the doctors office l was smiling all over on the outside, but inside, there wasn't seven a grin. The doctor didn't hurt me much more than was necessary, and told me that l would begin toNfeel that I got i sore arm in about week. or maybe even seven days. Lots of people was vaccinated in New Britain and began 10 feel sore in two or three days. was vaccinated in Piainville and there is five miles difference by trolley (esms like ten. if you walk) between the two places and that is why ] didn't feel my vaccination till a week.
 Some peoples vaccination didn't take, but mine took on account of me having such taking ways, espe- cially when I am out to some house visiting and there is fruit on the table.
 I will explain soseven you can un- derstand. The first two or three days after vaccination you think it is not as bad as you first thought. The next two days you think you are going to b. i,iy 1I f,E.r rv days you know you're sick.
 The arm is very sore, and ii hurts the most when I am working on a job l don't like, and sometimes the other arm what ain't even been vac cinated will ache in sympathy. also I have dizzy spells and big head at times. but most people tell me that is only natural-for me, especially the latter.
 I stayed out half a day from shop. because my arm made me sick. that's when a guy asked me if he could bor- TOW bucks till payday. and I couldn't reach down in my pocket far enough to bring up the money.
 I am not on salary. otherwise l would have been out sick for or days at least.
 The doctor told me not to get the arm wet, or if would swell, and turn red and look like its sunburncd. Any way felt kind a disappointed when he says not to ges thu arm wet, be- cause today is my birthday and usually takes l bath on my birthday. and it will be whole year before my next birthday. I am going 10 ask the doctor if it will he all right for me to climb into tub, anl urn on the shower. providing l hold an umbrella over me so woli get my NAecina- ton wet.
 It kind of makes me smile out loud when ] thinks Of some Of the big husky guys, that is supposed to be working at our place, but spend most of their energy throwing the bull the whole length of the room. who, since their vaccination can hardly throw good natured smile 10 the person working right next to them.

THE INSURGENTS

Possibly Alderman Gill and Pajow- ski may not be dignined properly by that title, Insurgents" as there has been considerably republican regu- larity shown by them in the sessions Of the common council. Certainly they are more than insurgents now, since they have committed the unpardona- bie sin Of advocating the election Of a democrat 10 the mayoralty while they are registered republicans and were elected as republicans
 Peculiarly enough an editorial was already in type, but had not appear . upon the street, mentioning the in- : surgents, when the news came that Alderman Gill and Paje~ski had come out for Mayor Paonessa for reelection. It was there remarked that there was little interest in the republican pri- maries because of the fact that the re- publicans chosen, if elected, would be- come cogs in the organization or would develop into powerless in- lurgents. But apparently even near insurgents may suddenly become com siderable factors in an election. The action of Aldermen Gill and Pajewski certainly will have an effect. Each has . considerable following. Of course, and the decision of each 10 support the democratic candidate will be inc influencing straw with many, If is probable. t6 follow their ordination and to give Mayor Paonessa 3 chance 10 serve the people for another two years ag he has served them efficiently in the past.
 The Herald believes that inc motive of Alderman GiIl in supporting the present incumbent is clearly a renec- tiun Of his sense Of Jusiire. On many occasious he has made it point 10 say nice things about the mayor. His belief in him has been sincere. and he thinks Mayor Paonesss has jtIsti- fed that belief. But Alderman Gill " no especial reason for being loyal tO his party from a selfish standpoint. Great consideration has never been given 10 his suggestions by the ma iority. and it is quite probable lhst great considerations never would bc given 10 him personally.

Francisco. so one would think that the motorists would be satisfied. liut sec what has happened. Even with the beautiful wide streets there isn't enough room for the cars. There has come up the question Of what to do about it. The buildings are placed at the edge of the sidewalks and cant be moved. But either the pedestrians or the motorists have to suffer be- cause Of the automobile traffic. Either the people who have to walk or the people who can drive.
 And San Francisco, forgetting the rights of the man in the street has dccreed that Fe sidewalks must be cut down to give more room to the auto mobiists
 This is carrying things too far. If New Britain. for instance, were to fol- low San Francisco's example probably our Central Park would be cut down and our none too wide awlks would be shaved to such an extent that man would have 10 beg, borrow or steal car in order to get anywhere.
 Progress are in thorough sym pathy with progress. But when il comes 10 cutting down sidewalks to make wider streets which are already wide, we are not for it. It is bad enough not to own a car, but when it comes to driving pedestrians off the walks to make driving more con- venient for motorists--well, We don't like the idea.
