-in the health department we
come in contact witn almost every
man or woman arrested lor a
crime oi violence,” i>r. Copelana
continued, “anil 1 can state posi
tively that there is not one cri
minal in a hundred that is not a
dope tiend. Crimes may be plan
ned with cool heads, but they are
executed by men who have ob
sorbed their courage from the
pipe or the needle.
“£ut aside from these people
of warped mentality, we see
nundreds every year who come
irom good lamiiies, and have been
dragged down by opium. AnJ
these are not always young peo
ple, as might be expected, but
lathers of lamiiies, and mothers,
too. Men and women who are j
highly respected in their social j
circles, but who have taken up
dope and let it get the best oi j
them.”
Tht> imlv nossible means of stop ;
ping the growth of the drug evil
byiis international agreement, Dr. ;
Copeland decalred. He said that |
the nations of the world must ,
agree to limit the amount oi
drugs manufactured before any
important progress can be made
The actual amount of drugs
brought to this country during
the course of a year is impossible
to estimate.
Over 100,000 pounds of opium
and its bi-produets arc legally im- j
ported every year into the L mtei
states, Copeland declared, i his
is approximately six grains pci
capita, or twice as much as is im
ported by any other cixilized coun
try in the world. j
Of course, a great deal of this
is used legitimately in medical
preparations. 1
The poppy fields of India, which ^
are among the largest an, the
world, nro subsidizeu by the Brit
ish government, the health com
missioner said.
In China, Persia and Arabia
■thousands oi’ acres arc planted
with the dope flower. Large quan
tities of th&raw opium is broughtj
to this country for retinmg anD
then exported. Alter being sent I
out to Mexico and other coun
tries, enormous quantities are
smuggled back again, according to
the doctor.
“There is at the present time
practically no hopu of stopping (
the evil and popular feeling or |
the question must be aroused
soon, or the whole country w-il |
seriously feel the effects, ac- j
cording to the commissioner, who j
thinks that the use of dope is j
assuming the proportions oi a
real peril. , . , ■
Dr. Copeland expressed the tear
wmilri not realize ;
the danger until the dope e\i. ^
had gained a tremendous hold I
upon the American people.
“And until the country does
realize what is happening,” he i
said, “there is no hope. Thou

“This is the secret in a nut
shell of so-called German pros
perity. Germany has been able to
keep her industry going by a
subsidy in the shape of the con
fiscation of all pre-armistice obit- j
gations. The property of invest
ors who held government bands,
industrial bonds, mortgages or
bank notes has simply been tax
ed out of existence- by inflation.
“Germany has virtually can-;
eelled all fixed indebtedness. On
this confiscated treasure the Ger
man economic system has been
kept gping. By means of it a
class of ‘profiteers tins made big
paper profits, whi h would be
virt'mllv valueless if they h" '
not at once been turned into good
money and deposited outside of
Germany. These profits were
squeezed from Gorman bondhold
ers and placed out of reach of
the allies.
“Any one can guess how much
longer Germany could have kept
going even if the French had not
seized the Ruhr, by figuring how
much there is left to confiscate
in a mark that has declined from
23.8 cents to .0052 of a cent. The
difference between .0052 and .00 is
just above the margin of' safety
between Germany’s present ‘pros
perity’ and complete paralysis. 1

the eventual ruin of Gerntlny.
The spectacle of her enemy's fac
tories running overtime, while her
own were silent and blackened
ruins has enraged and embittered
France daily since the armistice.
The news of German prosperity,
backed by tne most plausible de
tails, while not a cent was forth
coming for reparations has en
abled the Poincare government to
rally French opinion solidly be
hind its hardest policies. This
same sort of news, coming to
America, has aroused a sympathy
for France that nothing else
could have assured her.
It was a great bluff that the
Germans put up, and it ran for
an etraordinary long time. But
it has been called now and called
hard. The time for a showdown
has arrived.—Greensboro News, j

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are l *«ng
Recipe *f Sage lea and
Sulphur
Hair that loses its color and
lustre, or when it fades, turns
erav, dull and lifeless, is caused
by a lack of sulphur in the hair.
Our grandmother made up a mix
ture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beau
tiful, and thousands of women
and men who value that oven
color, that beautiful dark shade
of hair which is so attractive, use
only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous
mixture improved by the addition
of other ingredients by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of
"Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound,” which darkens the hair so
naturally, so evenly, that nobody
:an possibly tell it has been ap
lied. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time. By
morning the gray hair disap
ears; but what delight3 the
adies with Wyeth’s Sage and
Sulphur Compound is that, be
sides beautifully darkening the
hair after a few applications,
. t also brings back the gloss, and
[lustre and gives it an appearance
of abundance.—J^tlv.
