(’rime to Jail Drug Addicts, Mrs. Reid Savs J V Suggests to Continental Club Treatment Be Left to Doc tors—Claims Users Fear Exposure. Mrs. Wallace Reid believes that the present system of handling drug addicts Is superficial and will not bring the results sthat should be ob tained. She believes that drugs com monly used by addicts should be placed on a sound medical basis. Her message was brought to the members of the Continental club yes terday noon at luncheon at Hotel Fontenelle. She asserted that the drug habit Is a menace to the world and that the future generation should be protected, to say nothing of the humane care of nearly 2,000,000 drug addicts now in this country, stating that her figures were based on a competent survey. “This survey,” she added, “shows that drug addition is not alone a prob lem of the underworld, because many victims are members of respectable families. The present system of treating these addicts places such a stigma on them that many fear the exposure, although they want to be cured. The police have little sympathy for this class of offenders. Placing them in jails and other Institutions does not meet tho situation. There Is no use to deny drugs to 2,000,000 addicts until we have learned how to meet their demands Intelligently. “America should know what what amount of drugs to admit, and this ^iould be In control of the medical profession. Wo should get back of this problem and dig In. It Is up to us to make known tho real facts and not temporize with the question. The narcotic laws have driven addicts to patronize the dope peddlers, who are making from 400 to 1,000* per cent profit on their stuff. ^ “Each city has its own problem * and should face It with courage. We can’t deny that drugs make criminals. The stimulus to crime comes when the addict wants the dope, is out of money and faces tho tremendous prices exacted by the dope peddlers. We should look on drug addiction as a disease and should so treat these victims.” Electric Fan Cuts Finger Off; Lockjaw Develops Falls City.
