THE DRUG HABif
How and Why People Become Addicted
to the Use of Narcotics.
THE SOFT DRINK HABIT
Soothing Syrup Contain More or Ijths
Morphine.?Cocaine for Children.
Most Soft Drinks Contain Coral n
and Caffein, Two of the Worst
Drugs That We Have.
One of the most interesting bul
jetins issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture, recently,
is that on "Habit-Forming Agents"
by L. F. Kebler, chief of the division
of drugs, of the bureau of chemistry.
One reads it and wonders that the
mortallity record for children is not
greater, and that so many person?
llv?* three soore years and ten.
withstanding the fact that
legislation, federal, state and territorial,
adverse to the Indiscriminate
sale and use of opium has b^en enacted
during the past decade, and most
physicians aro using greater circumspection
than formerly when prescribing
it, Its preifurations. and derivatives,
the amount of opium, exclusive
of smoking opium, which is
denined entry in'o this co'tucy, c -nsumed
In the United States per capita,
has been doubted within the last
forty years," declared Mr. Kebler.
"Not only has there been this increased
consumption of opium, aut
large quantities of other habit forming
agents, introduced chiefly for
medicinal purposes, haw been used.
For example, cocain has been used
for about 25 years, and th? amount
consumed at present is estimate 1 at
approximately 150,000 ounces pe.
annum.
Under the head of "soothing
sirups, baby sirups, colic cures, children's
anodynes, teething concoctions,
and the like are discussed.
It has long been known to the
medical profession, the reports says,
that these products, hi a rule, contain
hanit-forming agents but the
majority of mothers have been and
are still Ignorant of the fact. In
some instances babies have been pit
to sleep never to awake again by
such drugs. ^Numerous cases if this
character are on record. Sometimes
there are dove'oped cas^s of drug
addiction. The chief active ugents
of socMiing sirups are well known to
be opium, morphia heroin, corietn,
choloroform. and chloral hydrate ia
some combination
"Th^ following," asserts Mr. KeLler,
"are representatives of tbi3
class:
"Children's Comfort (morphine
sulphate).
"Dr. FaJiey's Pepsin Anodyne
Compound (morphia sulphate).
"Dr. Fahrney's Teething Syrup,
(morphine and chloroform).
"Dr. Fowler's Strawberry and Pvppermint
'Mixture (morphin).
"Dr. droves' Anodyne for Infants,
(mtorphine sulphate).
i"Mts. Winslow's Soothing Syrup
morphine sulphate).
"It is hardly believable that anyie
for the sake of a few dollars,
>utd concoct for infant use a percIour
mixture containing cocain,
but ^ veral such mixtures have been
found during ihe last year. One was
? offered for importation, under the
lame of 'Espey's Syrup for Children's
Denition,' which contained
?ne-?half grain of cocain hydrochlorid
to each bottlo of about an ounce."
"During the last twenty years a
larg" number of soft drinks containing
cuffein ami smaller or greater
quantities of coca leaf and kola nut
products have been placed ujkmi the
market," reports Mr. Kebler. "Preparations
of this class on account of
Insufficient information, were formerly
look d ujion as harmless, but
they are known to be an Impending
evil.
"Cocain is one of the most insidious
and dangerous habit-forming
drugs at present known. Many lives
have been wrecked and many crimes
a.hve W en committed as a result of
its use and strenuous efforts are being
made to curtail its employment.
It is known that very small amounts
of tnorphin or cocain, or even a suggestion
as to their presence, w'll
tend to d'-etroy the equilibrium of
reformed addicts and bring buck the
former craving."
"A number of so-called solf
drinks now on the market contain
both of the habit forming agents,
cocain and cafTein. It is not uncommon
to find persons addicted to the
use of medicated solf drinks. It is
also a wellknown fact that many factory
employes, stenographers, typeWriters.
and others, subject to mental
or nervous strain, spend a large
part, of their earnings for drinks of
this character.
"It Is veil known that parents, as
a rule, withhold tea and coffee from
their children, but having no knowledge
otcocain, caffein, or other del- '
eterlous agents in soft drinks, they <
unwittingly permit their children to '
be harmed by their use." *

IMMORTAL DEN RAIDED
IV TMM DAT.irfD AVn 1TC BP
CKKT8 MADIC PUBLIC.
A Young Mail, Wlio Claimed to Be
From India, Is Charged With Abducting
New York (iirlH.
It was a 8trange story which Detl
ctive Callahan told in the New
York police court Thursday In describing
the raid on Sunday on the
Mystic Temple of "Om," a young
man who Is entered on the police
records of Pierre A. Bernard, a native
of India.
"Om" was arraigned on the charge
of abductiou after the detectives had
found him in his luxuriously appointed
house, w.here he taught physical
culture and languages, surrounded
by a number of pupils,
mostly young women. Some of his
girl pupils said Bernard represented
himself as a "swarni" from India.
iMi-ss Zela Hopp, a 19-year-old
milliner, who had been one of Bernard's
"students" told the police
the secret signal at the door to obtain
admittance.
"When I pushed open the parlor
doors." Cullahan testified, "I saw
B> rnard. He was standing on a
glass globe that was on a hair mattress
in the center of the room. He
was going through some peculiar
motions and gyrations as he stood
on the globe. Five girls and several
men. all in bathing suits, were
gathered around him trying to repeat
the covenients."
.Miss Hopp said she went to Bernard's
place last October and consulted
him about a method of curing
her of heart weakness. Ber
nard told her she must come to the
place and stay for a time, wJilch she
did, first paying him, she testified,
a fee of $ 1 00.
*Mlss Hopp told the magistrate
that Bernard had a peculiar influence
over her and that she believed
he had hypnotized her. She described
things which perhaps happened
after she went to the house
and made grave charges against
Bernard.
While she was in the. place she
met Miss Gertrude Levy, of Tacoma,
Wash., another student", and when
she got out she thought she ought
to advise Miss Levy's sister, a Mrs.
Hanford of Tacoma, of what was
going on. Her letters brought Mrs.
Hanford to New York and the two
women complained to the police.
Bernard was held in $15,000 bail for
another examination.
DKSKRTKl) I1K11 CHILDREN.
And Left for l'arts I'nknown With
Her Affinity.
A supposed tragedy that had put
the tongues of many in Rocky
Mount, N. C., to wagging, when the
report that Mrs. Whitfield, young
white woman, had drowned herself
in Tar river, has resolved Itself into
a situation entirely different from
was first reported and after a thorough
investigation by the police of
the city it was learned that the woman
had not gone near the river but
that first reported and after a thorthe
fact t.hat she had run away from
home with an "affinity," leaving her
four children, the oldest 12 years
old, to the care of any person into
whose hands they might fall.
The woman wrote Mayor Thorne.
a letter stating that she was going
to take her life and after mailing
the samp she left the city with a
man who had been paying her attention
heretofore.
The executive of the city placed
the children under the care of a
kind neighbor, while the father of
the children, who resides in Nash
county, was notified of the proceeduse
and told to send for the little
ones. The cause of the woman's
actions it is thought are due to the
fact that her husband had practically
deserted her and that their
domestic relations had been far from
pleasant.

length by Mr. Kebler.
The number of drug addicts in the
United .States, it is estimated, is
somewhere between 1,000,000 and
4,000,000.
Concerning tobacco-habit cures
Mr. Kebler says: "All are ineffective,
ind some contain cocain in one form
>r another, which at once Indicates
:he purpose of the promoter of the
emedy. Instead of eradicating what
s commonly believed to be comparaively
harmless habit, there is grave
langer of fastening a pernicious
rug habit upon the user."
