The Exeter Times, 1924-11-27, Page 3'No. Provision.," By Marjorie Bradford B.Sc.'. r '" 5anngt the policee advise lire what to do with .this man?" The judge turned appealingly to the guardians of the law, but they could not, because there wasno provision for such cases. The scene was a courtroom in 'a large Canadian city, and the problem which w,as Puzzling the judge ;was ..one which is a familiar old bugbear in`. Canadian courtrooms at the present time. What is: to, be done with that human derelict; the creature "whose future has been wrecked and physical condition shattered by his addiction to she use of drugs?" .. Ope more derelict has been tossed upon the rocks and the officers of jus- tice could do nothing to save him be- cause "There' was ho provision for such cases!" There he was, emaciated and shaking with weakness,, clinging to the edge of the look. It seems that he had been sentenced some months °before' to two yearsin a peni- tentiary for having been caught with Narcotic drugs, in his possession. But when found to be tubercular he was given his liberty, Apparently 'there was no provision for such cases.'' Now,' once More in court, he was pleading that he be sent somewhere, anywhere, for treatment, where some salvage' might be made of his ruined life, or where, at least, he might be allowed to' live out his remaining days. But he was reluctantly thrown back into the world from which he sought to escape. The officers of justice were powerless to do otherwise—because 'there was no provision for such cases.' ii a report., recently is- suedAccording to p sued by the Federal Department of Health, a very conservative estimate of the number of drug addicts in Can- r ada is 10,000. Estimating the cost of the average daily dosage of the consumer, the I econoinic`wastage due to the loss in earning power of drug addicts; the. cost of 2,500 annual arrests made by offences against Inst police in Canada for offeng the narcotics laws, and the court • ex- penses, .feesand salaries spent in bringing then to justice, the enor- mous suns of $20,575,000 is arrived at as the price paid annilaLly for nar- cotics in Canada. "If only .asmall fraction," the re- port. goes'•on to say, "of the money thus wasted were spent' in the estab- • lishing of hospitals:or other institu- tions, colonies or farms for the wire. and segregation " of drug addicts, it would go a long way towards solving the problem of narcotism in this coun- try, and. would prevent, to a very great degree, a lot of misery, sufferingand crime, not only to our present day society, but to the, generations yet un- born." The problem of 'the narcotic drug habit in Canada has• been traced back at least to the year 1880, when first statistics :relating to it were made available. There are now in Canada at least 10,000 bound in abject and horrible slavery=a' small- city! And yet we have no provision for such cases! { The OkANGE PEKOE QUALITY makes finer tea and more of it " HEALTH EDUCATION BY DR. J. J.

It shows that all this talk of hygien- ists about ygien-ists"about 'milk being goad food for children and adults IS no idle talk, but that its truth can be forcefully shown. The train in question started from the Englewood Station on the Rock. Island tracks and ran to Beverley Hl. i is The sole fuel was dried milk worked into lumps about four inches in diameter, approximately ,the same 1 size as locomotive coal. 'Calculations show that this substance has about the same heat value as medium grades of coal. Several days previous to the running of the "milk" train, a test of milk as fuel was made at one of the • roundhouses of the Rock' Tslapd Road. To give .the strange fuel a chance, a "warmed up" engine was taken. The steam gauge registered 135, Then 125 pounds of the lumped milk was shovelled in and began to burn vigor- ously. One of the veterans of the roundhouse staff, on watching the ex- periment, exclaimed as the milk began to burn: "That milk stuff beats any fire Hever saw inside a locomotive. It burns like oil." The steam gauge had -reached Shen it started to climb, , v and 200, the engineer who had fired the boiler, threw out his chest and said: "I have the honor of 'oeing the first man to fire a locomotive with milk. TheP arallel .between rl-iilk as human fuel and engine fuel was pointed out, becauseafter all, the human body is essentially a very intricate machine which requires the right kind of fuel as much, if not more than the iron and steel, locomotive that pulls a train of cars on the tracks. If all these, young and old, who now use tea and coffee, would stop using these beverages and take nitre -milk instead, they would soon find an improvement in their gen- eral health and would not regret add- ing the right kind of fuel for the deli- cate engines of which our bodies are composed. lli 0 P to'% overcome that particular attack.

To carry enough pois- on in a hollow ring to destroy an in- tended victim was one of the recog- nized devices of crime. The signet ring is extremely an cient, being found in Egyptian tombs, and among Roman deposits. They were more especially useful when writ- ing was rit-ing:was the talent of scribes only, and when the only distinctive mark most men, even kings and nobles, could make was the impression of the signet ring on clay or wax.

Here is a little known stunt by which some per- son -may pay his forfeit and pro- vide a `vast amount of amusement for the rest 61 the party. The person to pay the, forfeit is taken out of the room and his friends seat themselves in two rows, facing each other. Each per- son presses the toe of one shoe against the toe of one of the shoes worn by the friend who faces him. The Victim -is brought in and he is told that he will be blindfolded and asked to walk between the two rows. r -f, however, he steps on any- one's toes, another forfeit will be demanded. The trick is that each person, as soon as the victim is blindfolded draws his feet under his chair. The victim, unaware of this, passes be- tween the TOWS,'endeavoring might- ily to miss the feet that aren't there. and so adding to the fun of the. party.

To Sneeze whilst rising from the table or •bed was Said to indicate ap- porachiilg death. Yet to sneeze be- tween midday and midnight under favorable planetary conditions was an augury of happiness. Again, if the Greek or Roman turn- ed to the right while sneezing, it was regarded as a happy omen.' Dominion Express Money Orders are on sale in five thousands offices throughout Canada.
