Jow slavery to these drugs rarely are
dreamed of by those who use them!
until after their use has become a
habit, and then the damage is done—
for dr - habits, once formed, are in-
conceivably difficult to break. These
drugs shatter the nervous system and
blunt the moral faculties and predis-
pose their slaves to crime. No won-

charged with the administration of the
criminal laws are banding together to
check the sale and uke of these In-

As our manners improve, have our
children as good manners as our fa-
thers or grandfathers had? We do not
mean by good manners what the new-
er term implies.
Among the social sets we
find changing codes which direct the
form of handshaking, modes of ex-
pression in meeting people, repetition
of useless “don't you knows” in con-
versation, ability to select from maul
tiform knives, forks and spoons for
the multiform courses at luncheon and
dinner, says the Knoxville Journal and
Times. We can detect in
these flippant forms of fashion except-
ing as the knowledge a badge of
fellowship. And there seems to be
much striving to set within the circle,
