MISSIONARIES SAVE CHINESE
 ADDICTED TO SMOKING OPIUM

THE HAGUE, Holland, Mar. D. Dispatches from Deli, Sumatra, tell of remarkable cures of the opium habit effected by the American Meth odist Mission among the Chinese fishing population there.
 The cure, which is administered in- ternally, takes a fortnight. That the victims are conscious of their vice and only too anxious to be delivered from it is shown by the fact that the tiny mission hospital is booked up for more than six months ahead, and it is declared that 240 patients, most of them complete opium wrecks, have been wholly cured, says the Deli Courant
