In the minds of many practical per-

"Our recent magr 'Icent successes

a war correspondent The Germans

The Cootitv
Mary Louise wants to know what a

The cootie, Mary Louise, is a gray

And yet you should feel gtod he's not
As big as a grasshopper.

The larger th« number of trained
nurses the smaller the amount of suf-
fering that must be endured by the
people who mu?t bear the burdens of
war. Those women who know them-
selves to be qualified as student nurses
should regard such work as equal in
Importance with that of killing Ger-
mans on the western front. Saving
Americans is fighting to win the war.
There will be weeping and waiiing
among the women when the news
from the battle is first printed In the
paper. The women will mourn and
refuse to be comforted. The men will
look around them to see if there are
any pro-Germans in the community,
after which the men will make a
noise like a door slamming in the
night and scare the pro-Germans. The
time is coming and is now at hand
when thlg country is for Americans
cnly.
In the old days, when an Indian re-
turned from the war path he brought
with him the scalp of the enemy to
prove his claims. In this war, we
must have a government of the peo-
ple established In Germany and pro-
visions made in accordance with the
principles of democracy to prove that
we have won the war. Any signed
peace, cooked up to save the kaiser's
scalp, will evidence our failure as men
who make war—all the pains of battle
will have been suffered In vain. All
peace terms must come from the vic-
tors.

A married man of draft age, who
could not read or write, asked his
wife to write the exemption board
of his district stating that his family
wits dependent upon him. Hero is
what she wrote, and which he guile-
lessly presented to the board in per-
son;
"My husband ast me to rite you a
recommen that he s'ports his family.
He cant rede so don't tell him, just
take him. He aint no good to me.
He aint done nothin' but drink lemon
extrack and play a fidde ever sins I
married him ate years ago and I
gotta feed Seven kids of hisn. Maybe
you kin get him to carrle a gun. He's
good on squirls and eatln.' Take him

bed for ais kitis. Don't tell him this
but take him.

YOUR HEALTH
By ANDRKW F. CURRIER, M.D.
Narcotics.
A narcotic la a substance which
you stupid, partly or com-
pletely unconscious, more or leas in-
eensitlve to pain.
Soma narcotics will make you en-
tirely oblivious of what la going
on; with others you may be semi-
conscious, but hare little sensitive-
ness to pain; while with others you
will have dreams, hallaclnatlona
and sometimes great mental dis-
tress.
A narcotic la very apt to discover
your real nature and disposition.
When one is drunk or narcotized,
he can usually bo depended upon to
apeak the truth.
The effect of a narcotic includes
(1) that which happens while jrou
are taking it, (2) what happens
while you are under its influence
(3) what happens after the In-
fluence of the narcotic Is spent
when the body Is trying to elimin-
ate or get rid of It
The first effect of a narcotic is
often agreeable; It may cause ex-
citement. exhilaration, or calm and
contentment, with oblivion of life's
ills and miseries.
This is what makes narcotics ao
attractive to many. The opium
user has it. and It often comes
with the inhalation of ether or chlo-
roform. Then follow stupidity and
unconsciousness, when poisonous
effects result and may prove fatal.
Finally the chemistry of the body
tries to get rid of the drug through
the Intestines, kidneys, lungs and
skin.
A gas or vapor narcotic, I'ke
ether, chloroform or laughing gas,
is partly taken up by the blood-
vessels of the lungs, moro or less
changed, carried to the kidneys and
passed out with the urine, the re-
mainder being exhaled from the
lungs with exhaled air.
A liquid narcotic, like alcohol, !s
eliminated chiefly by the lungs and
kidneys, part of It stimulating the
liver and being absorbed by It, and
part being absorbed by other
organs.
A solid narcotic, like opium,
undergoes various chemical
changes, is absorbed by the blood
and eliminated by the kidneys.
There are six classes of narcotic
drugs which it is worth while to
remember, typical representatives
of those classes being: alcohol,
opium, cocaine. Indian hemp, scopo-
lamine and ether, all but the last
two being well recognised as habit*
forming drugs.
Alcohol Is the essential element
In fermented and distilled liquors,
and In many of the patent raedl-
clnea.
Alcohol Is useful In preventing
decomposition in animal and vege-
table tissues, but only five or six
per cent ts required tor this pur-
pose in most cases. When fifty or
sixty per cent is used, as Is the
case in many patent medicines, the
object of using It Is not to cure
disease, but to cause Intoxication
The exact amount of altohct iq
every patent med:otne ought al-
ways to be printed on the label ol
the bottle.
Opium, In some form, is used la
cough medicines, soothing syrups
and medicines for relieving pain,
either In Its gum or resinous form,
or In the form of morphine, codeine,
heroin, Dover's powder, laudanum,
paregoric, or some other deriw
Uve.
Cocaine Is a very useful local
anaesthetic, but Is often dangerous,
even In small quantities, and other
lees dangerous substitutes are now
In use, Including eucaln, stovaln,
novocain and others.
The habit of using cocaine is
easily acquired; larger and larger
doses are constantly called for, and
finally It mak.s the one who uses
It a mental and nervous wreck.
Indian hemp, from which hash-
eesh is obtained, la much used in
the Orient and produces a wild de-
llrum, often Inciting to the commis-
sion of crime.
It Is too dangerous a drug for
general use.
Scopolamine, which Is the samo
chemically as hyoscine, is useful in
surgical operations, and a few
years ago was much exploited in
obstetrical eases producing the so-
called "twiligiit-sleep."
Ether Is most used as a general
anaesthetic, and belongs to the
class of narcotics which volatiliza
at ordinary temperatui s and are
of great value In surgical work.
It Is not Infrequently used for its
Intoxicating effects; and because it
may produce serious results, it
should not be trifled with nor used
by those who are unfamiliar with
Its posspities.
