SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. c. A. L. Reed

THE Harrison act has very
- properly placed the dispen.
sation of cocaine under the sever.
est OF restrictions. Its enslaving
or habit forming power is such
as to make its indiscriminate use
absolutely dangerous to the public
welfare. Nothing but fits great
(but limited usefulness as a local
anesthetic justifies its continued
use as remedy.
Cocaine is a vegetable alkaloid
extracted from the coca plant,
which grows in South America.
The early Spanish explorers re.
corded that the natives considered
it holy and used it at all religious
ceremonies. and they still use it
as an indispensable sensual and
reviving agent. They generally
chew the leaves. as the natives
of eastern Asia chew betel nuts.
The local deadening effect on
the stomach disperses the feeling
of hunger. and the stimulating
effect on the brain relieves ex.
haustion and produces an ex.
hilarating sensation.
The native Of South America,
like the Indian opium eater,
seems to be able to chew his pet
drug all his life without coming
to any harm, and some authori.
ties class coca chewing in it's
own country with the moderate
consumption of wine. To every.
one else, however, cocaine is an
extremely dangerous, enslaving
drug.
The user Of cocaine experiences
very severe depression as an
after-effect, and requires more
and more Of the drug to enable
him to carry on his life. His
final state is an intoxication,
with any number of a long series
of mental and physical infirmi-
ties.
The medical use of cocaine is
to paralyZe the nerve endings in
the skin and tissues through
which the sensation OF pain
reaches the higher centers. This
enables minor operations to be
performed without a general
anesthetic.
The drug is, however, highly
poisonous, for it passes readily
into the tissues and thence
through the blood 30 the central
nervous system. Some people
feel languor, terror and giddiness
after q slight dose of cocaine for
some medical purpose, and others
show liveliness and loquacity. but
with dullness of the mind. With
larger doses the pulse becomes
irregular and small and the face
white or blush. and If the dose
is large enough it causes convul.
sions, Inconsistencies and death.
Even the most primitive tribes
have discovered the means Of pro.
ducing ecstasy of some kind or
another. Every religion has
exercises directed to this end, and
they can also be abused. The
uniform dance movement of
savage tribe induces a sort of
hypnosis.
Most common, however, are
decorations of plants, such as
cocaine and opium; or spirit die.

GRAND WORTHY MATRON
VISITS @. Z. S. CHAPTER

Saturday evening, April 2nd,
will be long remembered by men,
bers of Island Chapter No. 10, 0.
E. S. and by friends who were for
tunate in attending the banquet.
The occasion for the celebration
was the visit Of the Worthy Grand
Matron OF the State of Washing
ton, Lena NJ. Patchett. She was
accompanied by the Associate
Grand Matron, Augusta NJ. Stein
ert.
1t was also the 7th anniversary
of the institution of Island Chap
ter, making this one of the most
important events Of the year.
The dining room of the Masonic
Hall at Burton was appropriately
decorated in springtime colors and
flowers. Daffodils and lavender
candles carried out the color
scheme ON the tables. The dinner
committee with the able assis-
tance of Mrs. Evans served din
ner which would have done credit
to the finest Chef. Everything
was just right from the delicious
fried chicken to the ice cream, the
service included. As a proper fin
ish the Star birthday cake with
lighted candles was carried to q
place of honor and served.
After the banquet the members
of the order repaired to the chap
ter room where Eva Metzenberg
Anna McCrary and Charles Eng
land received the degrees.
The Worthy Grand Matron then
addressed the Chapter, emphasiz-
ing the high ideals of the order.
Our Chapter was favorably com
pared with other and larger Chap
ters. Short addresses by the As
sociate Grand Matron and by Past
Matrons and Past Patrons brought
a most successful evening to a
close.
