JOHNS, OREGON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13. 1914. NO. 13 9r ' THE mm HABIT Evil Effects of "Dope Vividly Portrayed The following excellent paper wus read by Mrs. Dr. II. 0. Brown on tho ' 'Perils of the Dnur Hnbit" at the Mothers' Meeting held in the city hall last week : It is human nature to wish to ease pain and to stimulate ebbing fIto1it-o rrtirit) ia nn hnrmnl wl. ult who. experiencing severe pain or sorrow or fatigue and thoroughly appreciating the im mediate action of nn easily ac cessible opiato U not likely in a moment of letist resistance to take it. And once this relief is resorted to it is ho much easier to turn to the same source of re lief the next lime. And so on from time to time until a habit is formed, and habits are like huge chains which bind its vic tims and arc a groat deal easier to form than to brenk. Ami let mo say right here that the drug habit is no respecter of persons. I have heard of exemplary moth ers and wives who became whol ly indifferent to their families, clergymen who have forgotten their calling and succumbed to its dreadful effects, shrewd bus iness men who have allowed thoir grains to become so deadened as to bo wholly untfit to think one clear thought for themselves and hove to rely solely on others. And oven doctors have fallen a prey to its terrible luro. The most harmful of all habit form ing drugs is cocaine. Nothing so dotorioruto3 its victim or pro vides so short a cut to the insane asylum. It di tiers from opium in two important ways: A man docs not acquire tho habit from cocaine in tho sense that it is virtually impossible for him to leavo it off without medical treat -mcnt; He can do so. although ho rarely docs. On withdrawal ho experiences only an intense and horrible depression, together with u physical languor which results in a sleepiness that can not bo sjiaken off. Opium with drawal, on the other hand, ro suits in sleeplessness and extreme nervous ond physical disorder. That is why bicycle riders, prizo fighters and race horsos aro oft en doctored or doped with co caineit gives them now life. And now a word about head ache dope. How many of us know women (not to speak of tho men) who are constantly tak ing soma form of headache med icine either tablets, powders or liquid remedy? And how many of these suirerers have been known to double, treble and some oven dnre to tako four times tho original dose. How often wo sec the appalling account of the death of somo ono who has tak en an overdose of headache med icine. A man in Russia took what he thought were some head ache tablets, but which proved to be $00,000 worth of black pearls which his wife had bought as a present for him. She put them on his table besido his bed and he seeing them, took them to be tablets of some kind, so swal lowed them to cure his headache. No physician, without making a careful examination, will asumo the responsibility of prescribing for a man or woman who comes to him in puin, yet a druggist does so constantly. He knows nothing of the customers' idio syncracy that for instance an am ount of trional which would not ordinarily effect a child, may cre ate an intense nervous disorder in a particular type of adult. To the average druggist a headache is only a headache; he does not know that what will relieve one kind of headache is extreme ly bad for another kind. And, furthermore, it is not his busi ness to warn the customer that a particular means of headache al leviation may perhaps make him a nervous wreck. The patient usually has the same ignorance. A case is on record of a girl who swallowed nine headache powder within an hour. Hati tnere been ton minutes delav in summon ing a doctor she would have died As it was she was seriously ill for a long time. Now you will savfc wha. is the cause of alt this dope habit? First and foremost, it is the indiscriminate giving of morphine and cocaine by the doc tors. An Ea3tern business man tells that his son has recently , w.n arrested at Berkeley. Cal for having morphine and cocaine in his possession. Five years gjo he acquired the morphine habit through the course follow ed by his physician in ntlminis- tnrmo n ilriirr 5n ttmn of illness. Nnw ho a linlnloss in tlin trrinnf it, and all the state does is to put M1II1 ill Jltll. uvuijr v-n.Jf ijuiiui; court in the land is thronged with drug victims, and the only remedy applied is a work house sentence. Proper state laws would provide that no doctor might give his patient a habit forming drug longer than three weeks without consultation, and that, if tho dnur were continued. tho case should be reported to tho board of health. That would provide tho authorities a list of nil who could not do without the drug. For it must be under stood that drug victims have rights that must be protected. They must have thu drug until freed by definite medical treat ment. Deprivation means death or physical, mental anu moral wreckage. These patients. whether rich or poor, snouiu Minn linvn modi nil holn furnish ed by public institutions. There is not a single institution in the world where a drug victim may Un trout ml uitliniir nlinrwo. RvPfV state should have such hospitals. Along with restrictive luws and public hospitals, there must be u wide-spread campaign of edu cation. First, the doctor must learn the evil potency of the drugs he handles and must learn how to remove tho deudly habit when it has been created. His (ulnrvitinn must ho nhnred bv the druggist and tho trained nurse. Second, thu general public must be thor )ughlyinformed regarding tho nature anu action oi naun- fnrminir ilrmru In tliifl work the newspapers can accomplish more than any other agency and per form a service more vital to tne welfare of the nation at this time than anv other service whatsoever. Third, all children in the public schools must bo taught the essential facts about vicious drugs. Hero let mo quoto part of an article clipped from one of our local papers of recent data "Thu American drug plague must bo destroyed. it 18 umo to turn irom inc opium curse of China ami look nr. the momhinc and cocaine curse of our own land.

Reporter, Use Common Sense There is n type of well mean ing folks- and niost of them are women- who ought to be sup- pressed in some eltective way without serious physical injury, says an exchange. The type in question was deacrihed by a friend in a conversation a few davs atzo. He said his wife had not been well for some time past and when the neighbors came in the muioritv of them would dwell with long faces upon the ill or ills from which she was Hultcr- ing and some of tho suggested ailments that had no connection with her trouble at all. So ner vous did this poor woman be come as n result of these sym pathetic and neighborly visits tnat sue nearly went mio u sutie of nervous collapse. In the nnme of decency, mid humanity. you ladies who belong to this tribe, when you call on a neigh bor who is depressed and in poor health, talk about the sunshine, the fresh air. flowers, birds and other things that make life sweet and worth while and even dis cuss the latest styles in dress and headgear, but don't dwell upon the causes, results or possi biitics of her ill health or give a harrowing recUal of your own painB or disorders. What she needs most is cheering up and to forget for a little while her own distress. ThiB form of service hasn't quite the standing of con verting the heathen and sending them money and old clothing, but it one of which there is dire need.

Mr. Wrny asked for permis sion to install u gasolene filling station at his Jersey street gar age, and the matter was refer red to tho street committee. Six property owners asked permission to withdraw their names from the remonstrance against the improvement of Wil lamette boulevard between Bur lington street and St. Johns av enue, iiie engineer repotted that the remonstrances all told only represented a little more than one-third of the property directly interested. It was de cided that the remonstrance was out of order, and no further heed wus paid to it. The bid of V. W. Mason being tho lowest, he was awarded the contract for the improvement of this import ant thoroughfare. y. (J. Cook stated that he un derstood tho property would stand for carrying tho proposed improvement of Mohawk street as far us Olympia street from Central avenue.

Many Election Precincts The following election pre cincts have been established by the County Court for county ami state election purposes in the St. J oh ns district, taking the place of precincts establihed heretofore: No 291, which is bounded by Richmond and Daw son streets, Willamette river ond southern city boundary. No. 295 Bounded by Fessendcn, Jersey and Richmond streets and tho river. No. 2!)(5 Bound ed by Fessenden, Smith avenue, Charleston street, northern city boundary tyid the river. No. 297- Bounded by Fosdcndon, Smith avenue, Jersey and Daw son streets and the south city boundary. No. 298 Bounded by Smith avenue, Charleston street, and south and east city bounda ries. Surely enough of them to serve all practical purposes, and complicated enough to keep the peoiilo guessing as to where they shall vote. II would be well to study the boundaries carefully in order to ovoid confusion. Death of Carl Kreeger Carl W.
