Advt. Prohibition Makes "Drug Fiends" Dr. A. P. Grinnell, of Burlington, Vermont, made in 1902 a critical investigation of the consumption of stimulants in that state, chiefly the narcotic drugs, and of so-called medicines into which such drugs enter as components of chief efficacy. The difficulties of the inquiry were very great for the reason that those in possession of the information hesitated to give it, doubtless fearing that it might lead to enactments interfering with the most profitable part of their trade. Only part of the dealers responded to the inquiry. From those that did it was learned that they dispensed every month, of morphine, paregoric or laudanum, what is equivalent to 3,300,000 doses of opium—the standard for a dose being one-eighth grain of morphine, one-half ounce of paregoric and twenty drops of laudanum. The amount thus reported, which by no means covers the total sales, would give a full dose of opium daily for half the population of the state. In one month the sales from drug stores from 69 towns of Vermont, aside from what was dispensed by physicians from their own medicine closets, included the following items: Gum opium...47 lbs., 12 oz. Morphine powders...19 lbs., 15 oz. Morphine pills...3,338 gr. Dover powder...25 lbs. Paregoric...32 gals., 1 qt. Laudanum...32 gals., 1 qt. Cocaine...27 oz., 1 dr., 30 grs. Chloral...321 lbs., 4 oz. Indian hemp...37 oz. Quinine was also largely used as a stimulant. The amount consumed in Vermont was equivalent to two grains a day for each adult inhabitant of the state. The muriate of cocaine accounted for in the above table would make over 114 gallons of one per cent solution, which would give 14,492 people each a fluid ounce of the dangerous These juices contained poisonities capable of causing a peculiar dening and destructive form ofication. "For one young man," says York Times of October 12, 1902, would have defied public opinion over-indulgence in liquor owing to purchase, many were desiring mind and body by acquiring speakable habit of drinking for poisons from the silos. Grave the alternative presented a devil's evil, it can scarcely be queued that well-conducted saloons we done less harm than was caused their suppression." OPIUM IN IOWA Following the adoption of legislation in Iowa, the opium hawker alarmingly in that state. So that it attracted the attention state board of health, and it was officially that there were no known opium eaters in the state had become confirmed in the law. All prohibition communities experienced the same resurgence or less degree. Habit kind are carefully concealed and it is difficult to ascertain accuracy their true extent. Most pronounced cases become to the community, while the evil is secretly sapping the many. It is common knowledge that people of Turkey and Mohammed countries to whom liquor is poured by religious inhibition are consumers of opiates of various forms. It has been the experience exception, that where one stimulant is denied, another secret and usually more hasty sought. It is the wise policy to mit the sale of stimulants under regulation that insures purity excess or the use of insidious and the evils of the secret use of poisons. [Endorsed by the Retail Liquorers' Ass'n of Anaheim.] Quinine was also largely used as a stimulant. The amount consumed in Vermont was equivalent to two grains a day for each adult inhabitant of the state. The muriate of cocaine accounted for in the above table would make over 114 gallons of one per cent solution, which would give 14,492 people each a fluid ounce of the dangerous stimulant. Dr. Grinnell, admitting the incompleteness of his data, is of the opinion that the totals reported might be multiplied by five without exceeding the actual consumption. One little village, so small that it appears only on the county map, used every month three and a half pounds of gum opium, six ounces of morphine, five pints of paregoric, five pints of laudanum, and three ounces of quinine powder. COCAINE EVIL IN MISSISSIPPI Prohibition under local option laws exists in the greater part of Mississippi. Since the adoption of this policy, an alarming growth of the use of cocaine as a stimulant is reported. So widespread and demoralizing has this become that earnest appeals for legislation to check it are coming from many sections of the state. While the evil has until recently been largely among the negroes, it is beginning to spread steadily among the whites, and is causing much apprehension. The Okolona (Miss) Messenger, of October 29, 1902, said: "The alarming growth of the accused use of cocaine among the negroes of Mississippi has caused the suggestion to be made that more radical laws should be enacted for the suppression of the evil. The cocaine habit is demoralizing the race in this state, and its growth in recent years has been phenomenal. Thousands of victims have been found among the negroes, and in the delta section the habit is almost general. The drug has a quick and demoralizing effect, and the negro succumbs quicker to its seductions than a white man, and when the habit has fastened upon him he rarely reforms. "It has been suggested that a law should be passed making it safer for any person to use cocaine except on a physician's certificate. In 1900 the legislature passed an act forbidding the sale of the drug except upon a physician's certificate, but the law is ignored and usually more harmful." What About a Cook-Stove Now that summer time arrives days are just ahead, everyone "summers" at home, is cozy how to simplify things and most comfort out of an uncooperative situation. We interview the ice-man; clothes; plan to ease up here there; but more than likely for one most important item in the hot-weather scheme—some doing the family cooking with insufferable heat of a coal fire kitchen. Everyone with experience kills some it is to stay in a stove to prepare a meal, let alone to cook a big baking. But everyone know how very easy it is to hot kitchen to a cool one and cook at the same time. JJ your list of summer conveniences New Perfection Wick Blue Cook-Stove and you've done any one can do to lessen how discomfort. Wouldn't it be fine if a summer to step in the kitchen, put kettle, broil the stake, bake the filter the coffee and give the call in one fourth the time you do it all on a coal stove? And wouldn't it be fine to when the breakfast was prepared when you first entered the kitchen. People who have tried it say New Perfection Oil Stove does everything in the line of domestic service without ing the room or the worker. Undoubtedly the reason found in the blue flame price which the stove works. A cylindrical chimney covers the heat at the stove top and way prevents surface radiation coal or wood stove. It is easy to see that this leaks much the matter of personal care in summer housekeeping. So don't forget the Newtion Oil Stove in your summer and you will have a comfortable and the best cook-stove in th and in the delta section the habit is almost general. The drug has a quick and demoralizing effect, and the negro succumbs quicker to its seductions than a white man, and when the habit has fastened upon him he rarely reforms. "It has been suggested that a law should be passed making it permeate for any person to use cocaine except on a physician's certificate. In 1900 the legislature passed an act forbidding the sale of the drug except upon a physician's certificate, but the law is ignored by nine-tenths of the druggists in the state and they sell cocaine to all customers. "Physicians state that if the habit among the negroes is not suppressed, and radical steps to this end taken very quickly, it will mean the utter ruin and extermination of the race in the South. In nearly every town can be seen the victims of the drug, and men and women alike use it freely. "The press of the state is taking up the subject, and urging the adoption of some radical method to save the negro from self-destruction." One of the largest drug houses in Baltimore reports that the sale of cocaine and other drug stimulants has increased many hundred per cent in local option territories. THE SILO HABIT In some of the farming districts of Kansas and Iowa, where local sentiment had pronounced so strongly against any traffic in intoxicating liquors that they could only be brought in at the risk of subjecting the importer to prosecution and persecution, it was noticed that drunkenness of a particular violent and insanity-producing kind was largely on the increase among the farm laborers. Ultimately the explanation was found in the fact that the craving for stimulants, which was denied a more reasonable gratification, had led to the tapping of the vegetable juices of ensilage from the silos in which an alcoholic fermentation was produced in the vegetable masses. WHAT'S DOING IN POLITICS To rescue the Republican party in California from the control of a foreign corporation, the Southern Pacific railroad company, and its political machine dominated by William F. Herrin, a Democrat; to make the will of the people supreme in the councils of the party; to elect to public office good and true men, who will represent the people at large and not take orders from railroad bosses; to purge the Republican party and government in California of ggaft and its allied forms of corruption; to indorse and support the policies of President Roosevelt, in-the interest of honest government, a square deal for all and special privileges to none; this is the mission of the Lincoln-Roosevelt Republican League. It is a movement of Republicans, among Republicans, for the reclamation of the Republican party in California. It seeks and deserves the support of all who desire good government under Republican administration. The Lincoln-Roosevelt Republican League surprised even many of its own supporters when it went into San Francisco, which has been so badly split up by contending factions that there seemed no hope of uniting them in any movement, and formed a strong organization there representing all the best elements of the party. It was a ten-strike and the San Francisco branch of the League is going to be one of the strongest in the state. This shows what a sentiment there is everywhere for cleaner government. “If we Republicans do not do some thorough house-cleaning in the party, unity to express itself, and unity had come so far as were concerned. The railroad organization block the movement. I guns to criticism loose on prosecution in San Francisco revelations of corruption, ment had sickened the tax state.

At summer time and "dog-just ahead, everybody who" at home, is considering simplify things and get the sort out of an uncomfortable view the ice-man; order thin man to ease up here and relax more than likely forget the important item in the whole war scheme—some means of family cooking without the little heat of a coal fire in the house with experience knows how it is to stay in a stuffy room on a meal, let alone the doing making. But everyone doesn't every easy it is to change a menu to a cool one and do better at the same time. Just add to cool summer conveniences a section Wick Blue Flame Oil and you've done all that can do to lessen hot weather. "It it be fine of a summer morn-o in the kitchen, put on the till the stake, bake the muffins, coffee and give the breakfast on fourth the time you'd take on a coal stove?" Couldn't it be fine to be as cool breakfast was prepared as first entered the kitchen? Who have tried it say that the section Oil Stove actually something in the line of cookingptic service without overheatroom or the worker. Similarly the reason is to be the blue flame principle on stove works. Archaic chimney concentrates at the stove top and in this parts surface radiation as in a good stove.

It was a ten-strike and the San Francisco branch of the League is going to be one of the strongest in the state. This shows what a sentiment there is everywhere for cleaner government. “If we Republicans do not do some thorough house-cleaning in the party, the Democrats will clean out the party at the polls. They would have done it at the last state election, if the taxpayers had known what the graft prosecutions in San Francisco have since revealed regarding some who were the party's leaders at that time,” said a well-known business man of Los Angeles the other day who takes an active interest in political matters. “It all depends upon what the clean elements of the party do this year. If they break away from the domination of the Southern Pacific railroad, throw overboard along with Abe Ruef the whole machine gang that has been doing his brand of politics and running the party and the state in the interest of the Southern Pacific and others who want special privileges at the expense of the people; if they rise to the emergency that confronts the party at this time and control the conventions, nominate and elect good men to the legislature, and take the management of the party in this state out of the hands of the machine; if they will make the will of the people supreme instead of the will of a foreign corporation, they will have the confidence and support of a large majority of the voters of the state. To be sure the Democratic party is dominated by the Southern Pacific as much as the Republican party is; but the party in power is the one that suffers always from revolt against evils in government.” The speaker might have added, that if the Republicans are to accomplish this they must do it at the primaries. That is where the delegates are elected who nominate the candidates for the legislature, elect the delegates to the national convention and appoint those who are to have the management of the party’s affairs in the state. The battle for a clean party will be fought at the primaries.

The battle for a clean party will be fought at the primaries. If you are in sympathy with the cause be sure that you are registered and that you vote at the primaries. As the date of the primaries draws near interest in the movement to wrest the control of the Republican party in California from the Southern Pacific railroad grows more intense and widespread, extending far beyond the boundaries of the state. So powerful is organization and so ineffectual in a political contest is an unorganized public sentiment, that when a small body of Republicans from different parts of the state raised the standard of the Lincoln-Roosevelt Republican League the strongly intrenched railroad machine smiled; but it was a brief smile. The bugle call to reform, which reechoed throughout the state, was a call for voters to organize; and so universal and prompt was the response, that no one realized sooner than the machine itself that it had before it the fight of its life for the mastery of the state. But it was one thing to realize this and another thing to stem the rapidly rising tide of reform. The exposure of corruption in public office, so notorious in San Francisco, which has been fostered and protected by machine methods, had created a public sentiment for reform that needed only an oppor- concentrated in favor of candidate; just now it looks that the New England practically solid for the president as standing for a continuous Roosevelt policies. There room for doubt that the sentiment in the New England as in every other section favors the choice of the secretary as the president of the party. It is a sentiment being so emphatically various political forces organized to oppose the Mr. Taft, are being neutered. In Massachusetts Taftward has grown enormously past few weeks.
