It would be absurd to speak of aspirin addiction or habit, I suppose. yet a good many people resort to aspirin (acetylsalicylic aeid for every little ache, pain or discom- forthwith disdain for the harmful properties of the drug or in ignor- ance of the dangers involved.
 There are a good many acetani- lide addicts, persons who develop an actual craving for the drug, and to satisfy the craving they may take enormous quantities of 1t daily, usually in the form of popular headache or pain-relieving nostrum. Most of these victims of the aceta- nilide habit acquire their craving for the drug by taking it for some ache or pain at first.
 Characteristic of acetanilidism are weakness, palpitation, poor appetite, nausea, dizziness, sometimes com- plaint of numbness of arms or legs. The addict appears pale, ashen gray and usually bluish in the nails, lips, tongue, sometimes over the general surface. Heart action is too rapid, weak and moderate exercise or effort produces marked shortneSS of breath or breathleSs- ness.
 The addict's blood is bluish- brown instead of red in color, and there is usually anemia, for aceta- nilide is destructive to red blood corpuscles as well as to hemoglobin the oxygen-carrying substance in the blood.
 When an acetanilide addict gives up the drug he or she may expect to suffer some irritability, restless ness, headache and insomnia for a few days and nights, but none of the extreme distress the morphine or laundanum Oaudanum is tinc- ture of opium or heroin (diacetyl morphine) or paregoric (camphor- ated tincture of opiun) habitue suffers when the drug is with drawn.
 I hope I have not painted the picture of acetanilide habit or poisoning worse than it is. Perhaps the tragic death of a friend some six hours after he had taken Sev- eral doses of 8 popular pain-re- lieving nostrum shortly after his evening meal for what he called "acid indigestion"-he was extreme ly cyanosed and dead when I ar- rived in his house about midnight -prynoticed me.

KING SAUD CITES
TRUMAN PROMISES
Arabian Monarch
Saws President Violated
Early Commitments

LONDON, Oct. II. -F)- King
Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia charged
in a letter to President Truman
Thursday that the President had
violated ''previous promises" by
calling for immediate and sub
stantial Jewish immigration into
PsHstine.
The letter, made public here by
the Saudi Arabian legation, &C
cused Jews of "brutalities" and
said President Truman could i'm
prove Arabian-American relations
by stopping this Zionist aggres-
sion'' in the Middle East.
Ibn Saud declared that Mr.. Tru-
mans plea for substantial Pales-
tine immigration was "in COM
plete contradiction" to a White
House statement last August say
ing the United States would not
make specific suggestions for a
Palestine solution.
The monarch, leader of millions
of Arab Wahabite tribesmen and
the powerful Moslem brotherhood
said he had always tried to keep
the late President Roosevelt as
we'll as Mr.. Truman Uniformed OF
the true position in Palestine"
IT never ceased to point out that
the Jews ere aggressors from the
start" he said. "They pleaded
at first humanitarian reasons for
their hostile acts in which they
persevered with utmost brutality,
as is we'll known to you, MI. Presi-
dent, and to the whole American
people.
Their ambitions which knew nc
bounds have now been extended
beyond the Palestine boundaries,
