THE DRUG HABIT How and Why People Become Addicted to the Use of Narcotics. THE SOFT DRINK HABIT Soothing Syrup (Contain More or ia-ny t Morj?liiJie.?Cocaine for Children. Most Soft Drinks Contain Cocain and CaiTein, Two of the Worst Drugs That We Have. One of the most interesting bulletins 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 mortal 11 ty record for children is not greater, and that so many person? live three score years and ten. ^'Notwithstanding the fact that Inori al Q Hz* II fOMoriil StilfP A II ft tpI'IM tor mi, adverse to the indiscriminate sale and use of opium has been enacted during the past decade, and most physicians are using greater circumspection than formerly when prescribing it, its preparations, and derivatives, the amount of opium, exclusive of smoking opium, which is denined entry iu'o this count -y, c >npumed in the United States per capita, has been doubled within the hist forty years," declared Mr. Kebler. "Not. only has there been this increased consumption of opium, nut large quantities of other habit forming agents, introduced chiefly for medicinal purposes, hav^e been used. For example, cocain has been used for about 2 5 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. at has long been known to the medical profession, the reports says, that these products, ai a rule, contarn haoit-forming agents but the majority of mothers have been and are still ignorariit of the fact. In some instances babies have been p it to sleep never to awake again by such drugs. Numerous cases of this character are on record. Sometimes there are do\e'oped cases of drug addiction. The chief active agents of southing sirups are well known to be opium, morphia heroin, codein, ch-oloroform, and chloral hydrate in Borne, comhination. "Tli^ following," asserts Mr. Kebler, "are representatives of thi3 class: , "Children's Comfort (morphine sulphate). "Dr. Fa.hey's Pepsin Anodyne Compound (morphia sulphate). "Dr. Fahrney's Teething Syrup, (morphine and chloroform). "Dr. Fowler's Strawberry and Peppermint LM'ixture (morphin). "Dr. Groves' Anodyne for Infants, (morphine sulphate). "Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup (morphine sulphate). "It is hardly believable that anyone for the sake of a few dollars, would oo act for infant use a pernicious mixture containing cocain, but ^."veral such mixtures have been found during the last year. On? was offered for importation, under the mine of 'Fspey's Syrup for Children's Denitfron,' which contained one->half grain of cocain hydrochlorid to each bottle of about an ounce." "During the last twenty years a large number of soft drinks containing caffein and smaller or greater quantities of coca leaf and kola nut products have been placed upMi the market," reports Mr. Kebler. "Preparations of this class on account of insufficient information, were formerly loolced upon as harmless, but they are known to bo 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 b en committed as a result of its ueo aild strenuous efforts are being made to curtail its employment. It is known that very small amounts of morphin or coeain, or even a suggestion as to their presence. wsll tend to destroy 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 caffein. 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 >nrt nf their earnings for drinks of 1,M# v v" ? ? this character. "It is well known that parents, as a rule, withhold tea and coffee from their children, but .having nq knowledge of cocain, caffern, or other deleterious agents ir. soft drinks, they 1 unwittingly permit their children to be harmed by their use." i Treatments for the nose and the i lungs, asthma, catarrh, colds, con- < sumption, coughs, headaches and I ( various cures aro considered at d IMMORTAL DEN RAIDED 15 Y THE FOL1CK AND ITS SECKETS MADE PUBLIC. A Young Man, Who Claimed to Be From India, Is Charged With Abducting New York CirlM. It was a strange story which Deflective 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 abduction after the detectives had found him in his luxuriously apnointed house, w.here he taught phy sical culture and languages, surrounded !>y a number of pupils, m/ostly young women. Some of his girl pupils said Bernard represented himself as a "swami" from India. iMiss Zela Hopp, a 19-year-old milliner, who had been one of Bernard's "students" fold the police the secret signal at the door to obtain admittance. "When I pushed open the parlor doors," Calla#han testified, "I saw Bernard. He was standing on a | glass globe that was 011 a hair mattress in the center of the room. He was going through some peculiar motions and gyrations as he stood 011 the globe. Five girls and sev erai men, an 111 naming huus, >Ttnu gathered around him trying to repeat t.he movements." Miss Hopp said she went to Bernard's place last October and consulted him about a method of curing h*er of heart weakness. Ber nard told her she must come to the place and stay for a time, which she did, first paying him, she testified, a fee of $ 1 00. Miss Hopp told the magistrate that Bernard had a peculiar influence over her and that she believed he had hypnotized her. She de- , scribed 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 Bevy, of Tacoma, Wash., another studont", 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 $lo,0u0 bail for another examination. ^ I DESERTED HER CHILDREN. .And Left for Parts Unknown With Her Affinity. t 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 wo- ' man had not gone near the river but t that first reported and after a thortho fact that 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 Thome, a letter stating that she was going to take her life and after mailing the same she left the city with a nian who had been paying ner 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 1 county, was notified of the proceoduse 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. ^ Trolley Smash.
