Agonies Of Drug
Users Comes Late
gaffering Comes to Addict Not in
Getting Habit. But in
Breaking
The Golden Age
Drug addicts do not suffer while
they are contracting the habit. The
suffering comes when they try to
break away from it. The agonies cf
an addict when his supply is ex
hausted passes the power of human
speech to describe. The pains are
said to be like a sword thrust
through the body.
Household furniture has been
hastily sold at two cents on the dol
lar of valuation just before the ex
pected visit of the dope peddler.
Demons appear before the eyes. At
a convention of the California Anti
Narcotic League held in Los Angeles
two women, in tears, told of their
horrible sufferings when they be
gan to do without the drugs to
wlygh they were addicted; and an
other fell to the floor in a faint
when she began to try to put it in
words.
In another instance the mere
thinking of what she had suffered
caused one woman to faint and fall
into a profound coma, in advanced
cases the results of deprivation of
the drug of addiction, called “with
drawal symptoms,” are considered
the most acute tortures ever en
dured by man.
The drug of addiction will quickly
relieve this torture, arid hence the
addict comes to feel that the getting
of his supply of the drug is a mat
ter of life and death. The mental
sufferings' and anguish are com
mensurate with the physical suf
ferings. The fear of having to en
dure the pains of “withdrawal
symptoms” makes the addict a per
fect slave to a perfectly heartless
master.
A normal person cannot possibly
appreciate the anguish of mind that
comes to an addict as he sees his
own helplessness and realizes that
his morals and principles and even
his body are disintegrating, causing
untold suffering to his family and
friends, and the scorn and hate of
society.
There: is no cure ror arug auuje
tton. Narcosan was given a thor
ough trial on 318 cases in Bellevue
hospital, but it was found that it
did not alleviate the withdrawal
symptoms, but aggravated some of
them, and that following its use
there was no obliteration of crav
ing for narcotics.
Abrupt withdrawal of the drug of
addiction is dangerous to patients
“ and has been known to cause death.
A gradual withdrawal over a period
of fourteen days is considered the
most efficacious and humane means
Of helping one to break the habit.
Many cures supposed to have been
effected have turned out to be not
permanent. Men have several times
asked magistrates to commit them
to prison for a term of years, in or
der to free themselves from this
embrace of living death.
SAVE SWEETHEART
Cambridge, Mass.—Harvey Fire
stone Would save guide, .sweetheart
and himself from the desert. In n
speech he revealed that lie had
given 100 per cent to ihe boy who
answered Edison's quiz in that fash

BACK TO THE STAGE

cession back to the stage from the
talkies is Basil Rathbone ana nego
tiations toward the same end are
being conducted with Gloria Swan

Full Garbage Pail
Tells Family Flaw
Wickles Wamboldt, in Charlotte
Observer.
A family that owes nearly every
body in the town where they reside
does these things;
v They let. their ear stand for an
hour with the motor running _ be
cause to shut it off rs too much
trouble.
. Often when they go out evenings
they leave the lights burning all
over the house ana jhe radio going.
Sometime the radio is on all. night;
and it any one mentions it the
family laughs about it as if that
were a joke.
They let their ice box stand open
for half an hour at a time rather
than shut it between trips.
Milk sours because it is not placed
on ice. Other foods spoil for the
same reason.
When . they fill up the furnace
winter mornings they leave the
drafts open and permit most of the
heat to go up the chimney. Then
they fill up the furnace again. They
never trouble to adjust the damp
ers—in fact, they have never learn
ed how to adjust the dampers.
A small rent is left unmended un
til it enlarges and destroys the en
tire piece.
During the. summer the winter
clothing is never put away from the
moths; and during the winter the
! summer clothing hangs around ex
posed to smoke and dust.
I Through extravagance, neglect
[and misuse, this family wastes
| chough to put themselves on easy
I strect
Most of our cities, towns and
states manage their affairs just
about as this family manages
theirs.
There are leaks in a thousand dif
ferent places. Dollars are spent
where dimes would do. ’tJTwo per
sons are employed where one would
serve better. Extravagant prices are
paid for supplies, equipment and
labor. Breakage and wastage go on
unchecked.
There is a multiplicity of ways in
which economies could be effected
without impairing service. Prob
ably there is not a municipality or
a county or a state in this Union in
which expenses could not be con
structively cut 10 to 50 per cent.
If city, county and state govern
ments'-copld be induced to submit
their annual estimated budgets tc
business experts for analysis, they
j would be surprised to see the ex
igent to which they could reduce ex
penses, and the public could be de
lighted and oh, so grateful!

Washington.—Senator J. Boom
boom McWhorter is waging a not
campaign lor renomination and re
election and if he is not returned by
huge majorities it will be because tils
constituents arc nowhere near as
dumb as the senator thinks they
are.
He lias a very impressive slofan
"McWhorter or Chaos," nnd his
strategy is based on the Idea tnat
whereas in most election years a
candidate nerd only kid the voters
along, this Is a year requiring hard
headed resourcefulness because if
the Voters cannot actually be scaled
Into voting for McWhorter they art
likely to go off voting for someonJ
else.
Most of the voters in the sena
tor's state are farmers who have lots \
of work and no money and labor
ing men who haven't any work o:j
any money either. McWhorter found j
wlicn he got home would never be j
allowed to shave or take a batn.
"Think how small your own debts
are as compared with the Germans
who owe the rest of tire world fifty
billion dollars.
“In Italy the earthquakes wau.d
swallow you up and streams of mol'
ten lava would come down the hill
to seal your tomb
"In Rumania you would not be
much better off because the popu
lation that it wasn't any use trying
to paint the clouds with sunshine,
so he has been hammering: home to
his audiences the fact that the?
would be much worse off than in
any other country and telling them
how much worse off they are likely
to be in this country if they aren't
careful how they vote.
“Be Thankful" Is His Cry.
“Be thankful you are not living
in Greenland, where you probably
would freeze to death with your
wives and families!” shouts Mc
Whorter.
“Think how tough it w ould be to
be a Japanese so that you would
[.have to wear long robes instead of
pants and probably would trip up
and bleak a leg or something.
“Rejoice that you do not live in
Spain, where the Mediterranean
fruit flies would be likely to bite
you to death.
"And just suppose you lived In
China, where you would be subject
to yellow fever, famine and mas
sacre.
"Or if you were Samoans you
would not have any clothes to wear
arid as self-respecting citizens you
would have to stay in the house all
day.
"Think of Russians,"
‘Til Russia, yon would have to
wear a bis blade bushy beard and
lation is decimated every day from
laughing themselves to death at the
royal family
‘ In Mexico or Central America
the revolutionists would he killing
you.
"In {south America you would have
to speak Spanish and you couldn't
do that, so you probably would
starve to death."
This speech is reported to have
been making a great impression till
Senator McWhorter’s constituents
because almost anybody has to bow
before inexorable logic.
Two Kinds of Speeches.
Since the senator discovered the
newspapers weren't printing his
speeches, however, lie has been mak
ing separate spcechs to farmers and
city..people. He tells the farmers
that the city people have got to pay
more money for what they rat and
the prices must be slashed On the
occasions when he has spoken over
the radio, however, he has eonfhi
ed himself mainly to the flag and
what It means.
It. need not be supposed, though,
that McWhorter has been lacking hi
constructive suggestions. For years
lie has labored for legislation on*
behalf of the farmers which would
make the corn borers cat tip all tie
boll weevils and the boll weevils
eat up all the com borers. His lat
est proposal Is to turn both the bor
ers and the weevils loose on the
wheat crop so ns to eliminate the
surplus which everyone wants to b?
rid Of,
t^pll. before you know, somebody
will claim the desk chair sitting
championship.”
ARMY WORMS IV FAST
An outbreak of army worms In
the lower end of Currituck county
has caused farmers considerable

Farm Relief
"Has that expert In farm relief
been of assistance to you?”

All men are not alike. If they were it would
be a mighty dull world. The man who tries to
ape another is foolish. He can never be anything
but a superficial and shallow imitation of that
other, and at the same time he is destroying
his own personality, which is the most import
ant thing in the world for a man to retain. In
