ASKS AID FOR DRUG USERS Magazine Writer Urges Hospitals for Those Afflicted With Deplor able Habit. The need of hospitals, private and public, for scientific treatment of drug addiction, is urgent, writes Charles B. Towns in the Century, discussing "The Drug Taker and the Physician.” There has never been a state or city Hospital meant primarily for such pa dents. though some have been receiv ed and treated at the Massachusetts itate hospital for dipsomaniacs and inebriates. The state and city make provision for treating the insanity that arises in advanced stages of the Habit, or in patients forcibly deprived *f their craving, but not for treating the habit itself. Even the inebriate colony which is to be established by the state of New Fork will in no way provide for the drug taker. This is probably because He does not come so obviously within the protective province of the state as does the alcoholic, since he is not turbulent and does not break the law except in order to obtain his cus tomary dose. At the present time, with all the enormous drug consump tion, there is no provision by state or city, or by charity organization, for the special treatment of the drug taker, although more than any other Bick person in the world is he abso lutely unable to care for himself. It will be seen that the physician is zhe proper agent to deal with the evil under discussion, both in safeguard ing the patient from acquiring the habit and in correcting the habit when once it has been asquired. He must, then, be thoroughly equipped for the duty. Every year doctors are being graduated from our medical schools with an intimate knowledge of dis eases that they will rarely encounter, but without any knowledge of drug and alcoholic conditions, which await them in appalling numbers. They must realize their responsibility in prescribing the habit-forming drugs and must be qualified to deal with the results of their misuse. ALASKA OF SOME ACCOUNT Its Cost Paid Back Many Times Over and Now It Demands Self Government. The territory of Alaska has yielded to its owner, the United States, $200, 000,000 in mineral wealth; in fish and furs this bleak possession has yielded $222,710,036, and it has paid directly into the United States treasury $14, 792,461 in cash. Adding the tribute of fisheries, furs, minerals and cash, the people of the United States have within forty-two years taken $444,102, 600 out of Alaska. This territory was bought from Rus sia in 1867 for $7,200,000. The figures of wealth yielded in return for this investment, according to the testi mony of Delegate James Wickersham - before the committee on territories on March 29 last, were supplied to him by the treasury department. Costing but $7,200,000, and an average of $200,000 annually for the maintenance of its government, the territory has re turned to the United States $10,000, 000 a year. Its people now petition the government to enable them to con serve for their own use its vast and yet undeveloped resources. They want to govern themselves, and ulti mately to achieve statehood. The na tion has always taken tribute from Alaska, while retaining its own wealth for itself and its individual states. Why not now give Alaska a chance 7 —New York Times. Pride of East and West. The visitor from the far west who refuses to be impressed by some of the town’s proudest exhibits is one of the New Yorker’s greatest trials, and often the latter discovers that the at titude of his guest is based upon con siderably more than a mere assump tion of superiority. A few days ago a tnan wha piloting a newly arrived friend about town, and made the mistake, upon coming out on Fifth avenue, of calling attention, with the maximum of pride, to the line of mo tor ’buses spinning up and down that thoroughfare. To his amazement the man from the Golden Gate refused to be impressed. “Yes, they're all right,” he remarked, “but you should see the ones we have at home. How far do these run, anyway? We have an au tomobile stage line between Sacra mento and Folsom, with ’buses that carry 24 passengers and baggage and make about 90 miles a day. They run over country roads at 20 miles an hour, and a good many of our people are coming to prefer them to the rail road. Yes, these are nice ’buses, but they look sort of funny beside ours.” —New York Tribune. Retain Their Employes. More than two thousand active em ployes have been on an eastern rail road’s pay roll more than forty years, and over one thousand five hundred men who served forty years or more are now receiving pensions. It has more than four thousand active em ployes between the ages of sixty and seventy years. There are on the pay roll or pension list of the railroad nearly five hundred men who have been with the road over fifty years. Her Condemnation. Sarah. Bernhardt is quoted as paying her respects to Isabella of Bavaria, consort of Charles VI of France, in this wise: "It is to her that we owe the invention of the corset, but it was she. too, who sold the half of France to England. There was no crime of which that woman wag not capable.’* ' Is Working on Urge Picture. Edwin H. Blashflc Id. who painted the doifie-piece for tho Library cf Congress, is working on one cf the largest canvases ever pointed iu America, and it is claimed the fig ures on it overshadow any ever wrought in this country. The paint ing will constitute the dome-piece fer the new state Capitol in .-•.Edison, Wisconsin. Several of the figures measure.I*1/? feet as they flort in the air.

It does seem as 11 you ana i ougni to get along together without quar- \ reltng all the time,” sighed Mrs. Jaw back. "It does,” growled Mr. Jawback, “but It seems we can’t. We’re fighting like cats and dogs from morning to night.” “Cats and dogs? Look at that cat and that dog of ours—they never fight. They live under the same roof peace ably.” “Yes, they do. Hut tie 'em together 40 they can't get loose and see how they'll act!” Ideal Match. “But,” says the candid friend, “I cannot for the life of me understand why you intend to marry him. He has a wooden leg and the other one is bowed, and he only has one eye and is bald in patches, and positively has the ugliest whiskers I ever saw on a man. Why, no woman in her senses could love him!” “We shall be ideally happy,” ex plains the beauteous girl. “I shall never be jealous of him for the rea sons you have cited. And he will al ways be so glad and proud that I mar ried him that he won't care how much I flirt.”—Judge's Library. They Were Surprised. “Jinks, who has just returned from 4 year’s globe trotting, is very wroth at the local paper.” “Why?” “Oh, the editor wrote a column arti cle about him. which he claims ended: ‘His many friends were surprised that he is unchanged.’ but the compositor left the ‘c‘ out of ‘unchanged.’ ” LUMP. Bronson—What have you been burn ing in your furnace this winter? Woodson—Hundred dollar bill, as usual. He Had a Name. Patrick, lately over, was working in the yards of a railroad. One day he happened to be in the yard office when the force was out. The tele phone rang vigorously several times and he at last decided it ought to be aonswered. He walked over to the in strument, took down the receiver and put his mouth to the transmitter, just as he had seen others do. “Hillo!” he called. “Hello,” answered the voice at the other end of the line. “Is this eight six-one-five-nine?" “Aw. g’wan! Phwat d’ ye t’ink Oi am? A box car?” CHURCH LOCALS Methodist church: Next Sunday is “Mothers’ Day”. The exercises will be in keeping with the occasion. A white carnation will be given to every mother who can attend. At night the “Boy Scouts” will assist in the singing. The public is cordially in vited. D. A. Leeper, Pastor.

Miss Carrie Bogseth will teach next year in the Fred Johnson district or the same school taught by her this year. Carrier has a mare 7 years old, heavy with foal, weight 1050 lbs: that he will trade for a mare or horse. This mare is bred to Jim Johnson’s horse. A great many patrons forget to put up the signal when they put their letters in the mail boxes. Unless the signal is up the carrier does not have to look in the mail boxes. Always put your return in the left hand cor ner with your route number, also box number. This will help the post master and carrier. Why don’t some of the automobile owners fasten the road drag to their autos and drag the roads. They could cover a great many miles more than a man could with a team. This would be a big saving to your autos. The carrier thinks that all roads will be dragged with autoes instead of horses soon. If autoes will pull the plow, why not the drag? Mrs. Alfred Jorgenson came near having a serious accident happen to her last week while coming out of the cave, in some way the wind caught the door, blowing it shut with such force that it caught her head, render ing her unconscious for some time and when she came to her head was held between the door and the jam. Outside of a lump on her head the size of a hen’s egg and the right side of her face bruised, she was all O. K. in a short time. Winter wheat is as good or better than last week. Alfalfa will be ready to cut in ten days. Pastures are slow about starting but with a few warm days they will be good. A heavy rain covered the route again last week.
