--
Against the nightmare OF cocaine
more than all the growing drug ad-
dictions OF the United States Is In
dictment returned by the Currier
Commission in third report by
Charles w. Collins and John Day in
Chicago magazine, Everyday Life, .
In which this statement is made:
Though the youngest and last born
of the furles of dope, cocaine is the
most pernIcious. The early Span
ish conquerers found that the natives
of certain districts in Peru and Bo-
livia were addicted TO chewing the
leaves of n small shrub, called
cocoa" or "Cuca," In order to coun-
teract hunger, fatigue and the diff
Guilty of breathing In the high alti-
tudes. They we're q degenerate race,
but under the situation of coca-chew-
ing they were capable of anything
feats of endurance. But now It would
be boon to the world II the manu-
facture of cocaine could be done away
with. and the shrub-covered uplands
of Bolivia. whence the bulk of the
coca-leaves come (more than 40.-
100000 pounds annually could be
blasted into desert. Medicine has
other substitutes for cocaine, and can
dispense with its services with little
inconvenience. while Cooke" (thc
dope-phrase for cocaine) has abso-
lutely ruined the lives of thousands
and is claiming now victims each day
Fully fifty per cent, IL not more, OF
the cocaine either manufactured In
this country or imported is used to
feed this vice, and not for scientific
purposes. Cooainlsm Is peculiarly an
American vice, as has been stated In
previous articles. The bulk of II Is
manufactured by American chemists
| and the greatest portion of the stun
manufactured is used by its Amer.
ican slaves Its cheapness. and tho
ease with which II can be taken
through inhalation, without recourse
to the hypodermic needle OF NOR
phine or the "outfit' of opium-smok-
ing, have given 1t such popularity
that the drug seems to have shifted
from the profession of medicine to
the mire of vice. Cocaine's reputa.
tion at present is more than shady.
In every slum II Is the favorite
"dope;" IL leads men and women
boys and girls. into the stews, and
IL keeps them there"

LONDON, Oct. S.-The black-balllng
Of Sir Thomas Upton by the Royal
Thames Yacht Club, the most serious
setback - his social career that he

nounced.
The rejection Of the jolly Irish baronet
and yachtsman by the Royal Thames

he was biaCk-ballcd by the Royal Yacht
squadron Club, even though King Ed
ward himself put up his name for cleo
ton IN the latter club. The Royal

Upton only laughs at his rejection,
bur his friends declare that he feels the

A DANGEROUS COUGH
Wife of Newark. Ohio. Man Had Symptoms of Consumption. Was Badly RuE DOwn and Reduced in Flesh.
RESTORED TO HEALTH BY VHOL

About two years ago my wife was in very poor health. She had no ap- petite, was much reduced in flesh, and for three months had very badNcough with all the symptoms of consumption Vinol was recommended and ahe began taking It: before the first bottle was used her appetite was better. and she was improving in health; by the time she had taken three bottles the cough was gone. She is still taking Vinol and cannot say too much in It's praise N. l.. Stebleton. Newark. Ohio.
 The reason that Vinol Is so success ful in such cases is because 1t is the only preparation that contains tonic iron together with all of the healing, body building clements of cod liver oil, actually taken from fresh cods livers, but no oil.
 Without hesitation we proclaim our faith in Vinol for chronic coughs, colds or bronchitis and as a body builder and strength creator for old people.
 Anyway, if you try 1t and 1t does no good we will refund your money on demand. B. G. Fowler, Montgomery.
