ment has put a tax upon the sale of
marihuana and brought it under the
narcotic law, but the public is not
sufficiently aroused.
Warn your children against men
who loiter and peddle cigarettes.
Marihuana-users are helpless when
in the grip of this demon drug. It
brings disgrace, insanity and often
murder. It is creeping in stealthily
like a venomous twisting, slithering
serpent. Protect your children against
it by timely instruction.

on the sidewalk, the evidence pointed
to marihuana as the killer. Many
crimes are perpetrated by addicts who
have no recollections of their crimin

Marihuana destroys the brain. At
first it stimulates. There are illusions
and hallucinations. The mind be
comes over-excited, often to the point
of madness. This deadly drug disinte
grates character and ruins the intel
lect. When, under its influence, the
vilest forces of evil take possession
of and control the individual. There
no crime that he will not commit.
For example, take zinnia and cos
cds. The blossoms can, be almost
exactly the same color, but the zinnia
piant is very compact and the cosmos
feathery. Zinnias have a large full
bloom, with many petals. Cosmos
flowers are partly hidden by leaves
and the bloom has few petals.
When planning the color scheme of
a garden take into consideration what
he plants to be used look like as
well as their color. Work in large
sweeps of color not little spots,

The public should be warned against
the encroachments of this deadly
enemy. You do not know when your
own children may be persuaded to

large cities they may be obtained at
certain hot dog stands and other
places. There are 100,000 users in the

HASHISH OR MARIHUANA
When I was a youngster, "The Ha
shish Ea'er," a book by Dr. Quincy,
fell into my hands. I read it far into
; tha. night though my childish mind I
could not comprehend it. The author
described the effects of the drug upon
its rvictims. , " j ,
Hashish has had a bloody and de
structive history. It has many names.
It is called "hashish,' "Indian hemp,"
"cannabis indica," and "Marihuana."
Its baleful effects gp back as far
as history. (Some of the ancient
Greeks used it. Homer wrote that it
made men forget their homes and
turned them into swine. A thousand
years ago there was a band of men
addicted to its use' They were dis
tinguished for their cruelty and wick'
eduess. The leader of the group lived
4ir pomp, and terrorized the country.
- If a prince displeased him, he had him
murdered by members of the company.
Thus they kept the country in sub
jection.
