NARCOTIC ADDICTS
NEED LONGER THAN
A YEAR SENTENCE
Negro Cured, Says Habit
Not Quite Broken in
That Time.

A sentence of one year and one day
in the federal penitentiary at LeavNl-
worth, Kan, will not allow sufficient
time for the successful treatment of
narcotic addict. according to a for
ner inmate of the penitentlary WHO
visited the federal building, Wednes-
day afternoon. on his return to San
Antonio. He is a negro. former az
dict who had been sentenced by the
federal court here to serve Is months
on narcotic charge.
To members of the district .attor-
ney's office and to the narcotic agent
in charge here, he described in great
detail the treatment for narcotic ad-
d;ction which he was allowed to take
while he was confined to the institu-
ton. When he left San Antonio Il
months ago-he was allowed time OIL
for good behavior-the officials re-
membered him as an emaciated AMI
nerye-wracked specimen of manhood,
weighing not more than 11J or 10
pounds. When he returned Wednes-
day afternoon, he was in perfect
health and weighed between 100 AMI
40 pounds.
When an addict is sentenced to the
federal penitentiary at Leavenworth.
the negro explained. he is given n
special trca ,ment if he wants it. For
the first week or ten days he is given
the myocine treatment. During part
Of the time he is in state of coma.
This is followed by course of vari-
Gus baths for the building up of the
system. 1t takes at least nine months
for a patient to begin feeling in fine
shape and able to Withstand the lure
of done, the negro said. 1T an addict
has been sent up for a period of Il
months, he is released at the end OF
nine months if he is allowed time for
good behavior. The addict is released
before he is really in condition 20
withstand the temptations that will
beset him i'm the Outside" life. That
is the reason. according II the Off
GERS, that many cured addicts who
have been released. relapse in a few
months to their old habit.
''They sure treat you fine at Leav-
enworth." the negro said. IF you
don't try to run the place. IL they see
that you are trying to do right up
there. they treat you like you was
man."
After he had taken the narcotic
treatment. he said. he was put on
the prison baseball team as he was an
excellent ballplayer. The team was
trained in the same manner as pro-
fessionals and made trips TO various
towns and cities. Although they
were accompanied by guard, he said,
the guard was unarmed.
Many federal judges. according to
the narcotic agent in charge here. are
giving longer sentences to addicts. not
TO increase the punishment. but II
enable the adidcts to rid themselves of
the insidious disease.

Man, who is introducing Plant Juice
to the local public at Sommer's drug
store. Houston and Navarro streets.
"For two years / had been suf-
fering with my stomach" Mr.. Lam
dry continued. "and the last few
months the trouble had grown until
was getting weak. ! had no ap-
petite and the little l are would fer
ment in my stomach and bring an
gas and bloating. j often felt like
there was a ton of weight in my
stomach. The gas in my stomach
would cause pains in my back ana
sides and would result m shortneSs
of breath and during some OF those
spells / would become ,ight-headed.
| was constipated; my liver was IN
a sluggish. torpid condition and i
felt drowsy and tired out all the
time so that it was an effort for
me to even move.
"Of course. l tried many different
medicines but without much relief
and then l heard of your Plant
Juice and started taking it and, as
| said before, it surely has improved
me in many ways. The stomach
trouble ] had before has disappeared
now. | have fine appetite ana
never suffer from gas or sour stom-
ach or the pains / used TO have.
The constipation has been relieved:
my liver is improved so that the
tired out feeling is gone and l surely
am glad to indorse Plant Juice after
what it did for me-

ton of the Juices of roots, herbs and
leaves. 1t is a powerful prepare

Russian Propaganda and
Box Peace Plan Probes
in Background.
HAD GOOD GALLERIES
Whirlpool Of Congression-
al Investigations Has
Swallowed Them.
BY WILLIAM c. LYON.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light.
Washington, ID. C., April AIN the
whirlpool of congressional investiga-
tions now playing hide-and-seek in the
halls Of Congress. two hearings have
been completely lost,
They were perfectly good hearings
and had a big gallery" when they
were going good. Teapot Dome devel-
opments set the first one aside, and
just plain disinterestedness broke up
the other. The first was the Borah
committee investigating Russian prop.
aganda under a resolution to recog.
nize the Soviet government. The Sec
ond was the investigation of propa-
| ganda in connection with the Box
peace plan.
1t took two guards at the commit
! tee room door TO handle the spectators
i who were flocking into the Russian
{ hearing back in January. Senator
\ Lcnroot who was a member of the
4 committee. also was chairman of the
E)sub-committee that was hearing the
|lTeapot Dome testimony. In those
lldays Teapot Dome was not creating
[}much excitement and Lenroot was a
fairly regular attendant at the Rus
|lsian hearing.

"Blll" Burns was regular daily
Spectator and with him were mum.

State Department who were laying be-
fore the committee endless files of cor
respondence intended to prove tina,
Russian propagandists insthe United
States were planning to raise the red
flag on the White House." Teapot
Dome dubbed over Burns bureau and
Burns promptly lost interest in Rus
fia and Bolsheviks and such trivial
khings.
Then Senator Walsh took his little
aunt down TO Florida and commenced
collecting the names of the people who
we're supposed to have advanced tina,
100000 to ex-Secretary Fall and Tea
pot Dome began to boil.
Senator Lenroot turned his atten
ion to the Teapot Dome case and nc
in0re was on hand with the Russian
brobers. The crowds that had beer
istening to Russia's woes fell off and
Senator Borah announced he would
wait a more propitious time to con.
inue that hearing.
May Take 1t Up Later.
later on Senator Lenroot resigned
rom the Teapot committee. but he
as been i'll most of the time since and
veryone has forgotten there was a
Russian hearing. Senator Borah now
avs that sometime he may be able
get attention to the Russian af.
Rir, but he does not say it very hope.

that time exciting, hearing was a
wordy battle between Senators Moses
and Caraway over the pertinence or
impertinence of Miss Lape's answer to
the chairman's questions.

The gallery" was waiting with
many thrills to see what would come

Lape's refusal TO answer questions in
the way the chairman insisted they
should be answered. lit is still wait

quiry at Senator Moses office as to
the chances of the committees resum-

stares. Does anybody remember
that?" appeared to be the attitude.
When he adjourned the committee
back there in January. Moses merely
said the hearing might be resumed
when there was not so much else go
ing on. But most anyone will admit
that that time hasn't arrived yet.
