SING SING DRUG TRAFFIC.
A few days ago attention was called to traffic In drugs carried on by
the officials of New York prisone.
Dr. Charles Baxter, formerly physician at the penitentiary at Black-
well's Island, has been sentenced to serve three years in prison and to pay
a fine of $600 for selllug morphine and cocaine to inmates of the lnstitu-
tion.
He held a position of trust, and his confession of guilt came as a sur
priso. The sentence he received it eminently deserved. It is now the duty
of the authorities to reach higher up.
Th New York prison commission, Investigating the charges preferred
by ex-Warden Clancy of Sing Sing, find them far more esrious. He has
supplied the commission with data Bhowing that large quantities of whisky
and drugs are daily disposed of at Sing Sing. The trade is profitable and
the inmates always seem ready and willing to pay the exhorbitant price
demanded.
According to Clancy in outside political ring is in control. The peni-
tentiary officials are only the retained emissaries of the men higher up.
The evidence offered by Clancy Is ample and should bring about a
conviction If his charges are properly pushed.
Unfortunate victims of the drug habit are sometimes forced Into crime
and are given prison sentences. It they are far advanced in the use of
cocaine or morphine they are sent to hospital wards for treatment. Many
should feel thankful that their prison sentences will keep them out of their
usual haunts. It gives them at least an opportunity to do without drugs
until their strength tnd'nerve systems are restored to their normal condi-
tion. •
At least this is as it should be. If the proof of the ey-warden is ac-
cepted, the state fill be shaken with a sensation that should stir the
country.
Clancy Bays that the Investigation now being made is not sincere and
is due to political inspiration. This s indeed unfortunate. If men are
makng money out of a wilful violation of the law by illicitly dealing in
drugs and pandering to the unfortunate habits of more unfortunate men
and women, tbey should be exposed and punched.
The conviction of Dr. Baxter Is a step in the right direction, but it
should be aggreaively followed up.
It Is bad enough to think that drug fiends can obtain herein, cocain*
and morphine on the streets of New York. It is terrible to know that
after these victims are locked behind prison bars men sworn to enforce
the law lend themselves to such flagrant violations.—Commercial Appeal.
THE GHOSTS WONT BITE.
Now for the marshalling of the ghosts and the bugaboos. For it is
apparent that a lot of the people are seriously considering municipal
ownership of the public utilities now operated and exploited by the Big
Con.
• So the hidden advocates of privilege will get busy. The old scarecrows
and phantoms that have done service in every fight for improvement in
government will be brought forth.
For the way to fight municipal ownership Is to make the people afraid
to try it No community that gives municipal ownership of public utilities
a fair trial ever goes back to private ownership.
You will hear that municipal ownership would swamp the city with
debt. That it would greatly increase the tax burden. That It would build
up an Invincible machine. That It would give inefficient and costly ser-
vice. That It would discourage private enterprise.
Of course, the debt would be a lien on the plant and not on the city.
The constitution of Ohio provides for that.
Of course, it could not affect the taxes a penny, except as the car fare
might be ralBed or lowered. And Instead of paying the tax to private inter-
ests It would be paid to the city.
Of course, the people of Toledo have shown their ability to break up
any political machine ever constructed here.
Of course, the cities that have tr'ed municipal ownership find that they
get better and cheaper service, while the employees get better wages and
better working conditions.
But, nevertheless, the same old ghosts will be marshaled, and many
well meaning but timorous folk will shiver with fear. Cheer up, the ghosts
wont bite you. They are so old they have no tooth.—Toledo News-Bee.

"Gentleman: I>ast December I took ft
sudden cold, which developed into Pneu-

could for me. but could not clear my
lungs. One day I saw a testimonial in
one of the papers telling of the good re-
sults someone had from taking Fekman's
Alterative for a trouble of the lungs. I
began taking it and soon felt good re-
mJlts. My lungs began to clear up and I
began to gain in strength and was soon
well enough to take up my work again.

URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
TASK \ GLASS OF SALTS IF YOUR
HACK H1KTS OH BLADDER |
BOTHERS.
If you must have your moat < very
day, eat it, but flush y ur kldueya
with salts occasionally, says a noted
authority who tells us that meat
forms uric acid which almost par-
alyzes the kidneys in their efforts to
expel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in th*
kidney region, sharp pains in the
back, or sick headache, diztiness,
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine
gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To neutralise these Irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and lluth off
the body's urinous waste, get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any pharm-
acy here; take a tablospoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grape« and
lemon juice, combined with lith/a,
and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kid-
neys, also to neutralize the acids in
\jrine, so it no longer Irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive, cannot
injure, and makes a delightful eff«
veseent, lithia-water drink.—Adv.
