New Problem of Dope Fiends
Atlanta, Ga. Oct. 9 a new problem has surfaced in the effort to cure dope fiends since the federal anti narcotic law. Some counties send addicts to the Milledgeville state prison farm to break the habit and relatives have had men arrested on vagrancy charges for that purpose.
