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

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.

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.

Mr. Keblor says: "All are ineffective,
and some contain oocain in one form
ar another, which at once indicates
the purpose of the promoter or the
remedy. Instead of eradicating what
s commonly believed to be com paraLively
harmless habit, there is grave
lunger of fastening a pernicious
