Institutional Care
 For Drug Addicts
Experience Proves Compulsory Treatment Most Effec-
 tive, Best Appreciated By Patients Themselves

thly bulletin, Dr. Knowlton stated that drug addicts lose their sense of right and wrong, and resort in most cases to theft, forgery, house -break- ing and other crimes including pros- titution to obtain drugs to satisfy their craving. They are like child ren who must be taught the sense of right and wrong, It is, therefore, a matter of kindness to an addict to place him under such restrictions that he cannot obtain the drug and thus force him to remain free from the habit until he is no longer sub Ject to the craving. Physicians have the right to determine the need for narcotics for the aged or infirm.
 Pressure Needed
 Plans for treating drug addicts at a dispensary or clinic while they re- main at large have not proved suc- cessful. the doctor said, since the victim cannot be trusted to refrain from getting the drug if he is free to do 50. Institutional treatment is necessary. Some addicts have sui. ficient character to seek institutions al treatment voluntarily, and to re- main in an institution long enough to get away from the habit,bu more often 1t is necessary for pressure to be exerted to achieve this end. Where the addict has committed some crime, fear of exposure and prosecution may be held over his head to force treatment. Such"hard- boiled" tactics may even extend to a police raid upon the home of a more affluent addict who has the wherewithal to purchase his drugs, thereby discovering him in illegal possession of narcotics. Drug vic- tins in the higher social strata whose addiction has been largely accidental stand a better chance of cure than the criminal type, but in all cases much depends upon the ad- dict himself.
 Grateful
 Many addicts who have been pra- ctically forced to undergo long in- stitutional treatment have later thanked thL authorities profusely for making them stay in the instit- ution, particularly when the stay has been in the Norwich State Hospital, which. Dr. Knowlton said, is doing an excellen. job in spite of crowded conditions.
 Authorities are striving to prevent sale of drugs through illegal chan nels, and to bring about proper treatment for thorn already addict ted. Any citizen can do real service to an addicted acquaintance by in- forming proper authorities, the doc- tor declared.

FORGOTTEN KEY,
 CLUE TO DEATH
Elizabeth Street Man Fell While Trying to Climb
 Over Railing

A fail of 90 feet from a rear veF~ a1da while atempting to enter his home Sunday night was blamed to- day for the death of Cyprian Tre- ziak, 47, of GA Elizabeth street. The mans body was found in the back yard of his home at 5:30 o'clock yes- terday morning by two milknen. Death wa satributed to a fractured skull.
 Deputy Coroner walter w. Smyth was informed that investigation by Detective Connie Shanahail showed that Tre1iak had been heard trying to enter the front door at his home at e:30 or 10 o'clock Sunday night. but was without his key. The man apparently then went to the rear stairway, which he seldom used and where Q vegatlda door was locked, and fell while attempting to climb around a partition.
 Treziak had been an employe of the Waterbury Rolling Mills for % years. He is survived by Q daughter, Helen.
 The funeral will be held tomor- row morning at 0:30 o'clock from the Funeral Home of Arthur J. Lun- ny, 26 Central avenue, to St. Stan- slaus Kostka church, where g solemn mass of requiem will be sung at 9 o'clock. Burial will be in Calvary cemetery.
