BLAMES CHINESE FOR
SPREADING OPIUM USE
A Pharmaceutical Convention
Speaker Points Out Danger

Los ANGELES, Aug. 1s.-Delegates
TO the annual convention of the Ameri-
can pharmaceutical association were
rendered banquet tonight at the Hotel
Virginia at Long Beach and this was
followed by short and informal sessions
of the national association boards of
pharmacy, and the American conference
of pharmaceutical faculties.
One of the interesting papers read at
today's session of the association was
the report of the international opium
commission by DR.. Hamilton Wright of
Washington, d. c., special agent of the
government in investigating the opium
traffic. Concerning the traffic in the
United States, the speaker said:
"Of all the Chinese in the United
States at least 90 per cent are addicted
to the opium habit in some form or
other. The yearly importation of the
drug amounts to 100000 pounds. Only
a small part of this is consumed by
white people to satisfy a craving for
the drug, so that ii would seem the
Mongolian population is mainly respon-
sible for the spread or the drug habit
throughout the world
The appalling danger of the spread
of the traffic is just beginning to be
realized and all the governments OF
| the world are taking up means of
abolishing the traffic"

THEORY OF BEAUTY
Stomach Man Says Good, Red
Blood Will Make Any
Person Beautiful
Declares Good Appearance OF
Great Advantage to Man
Especially

sBe well and you'll be beautiful. A
bad complexion is more than skin deep.
Beauty Is the outward expression of
a radiant good health. Racing red
blood makes glowing cheeks, bright
eyes, clean skin, quick wit, vim and
vigor and grace of motion. Get well.
Do that and every mirror Will be COM
plimentary..
The young Cooper stomach man" at
his headquarters at the Owl drug store
in the Phelan building yesterday ex-
pressed in his crisp, terse manner some
original ideas on beauty culture. He
said:
Both men and women express their
best selves by an attractive appear
ance. A lack of care for it weakens
self-respect and loses respect of others.
A feeling of self-conidence and abiHty
goes with the knowledge of looking
well. But you should go after that
result in the right way; counterfeit
ing never gets real results.
ITO look well you must feel well
and be we'll A good digestion means
a good complexion every time. Red
blood makes red cheeks. gives you a
quick, elastic step, an alert mind, an
appearance of overhowing health and
life. And the secret of IT all is simple.
The food we eat is the fuel that
keeps this wonderful human machine
going. II it is properly digested it
makes good, healthy blood and steady
nerves; it keeps the whole system in
the ma gnificent glow of health and
vigor Nature intended.
1T Is only when the body isn't prop
erly nourished that something goes
wrong. No one can feel well or look
well with mass of partly decayed
food lying half digested in his stom-
ach. poisoning his whole system. The
poorly fed skin turns sallow. the eyes
are dull. there is headache, a worn
out, listless feeling. The man or woman
drags on sometimes year after year,
never feeling quite well. They take
remedies for various symptoms, apply
ing local treatment when the poison
breaks out through the skin in PIN
pies. They never stop to think what
must be the underlying cause OF all
the trouble
The reason for the difference in
appearance you notice between the per-
son who comes in to consult me and
that same person when he or she
comes in a few weeks later is the
simple directness of my methods. Ny
treatment goes right to the root of
doing its work properly again. When
all the food he eats makes good, rich
blood patient is literally a new man
or woman in a short time. The old.
sallow skin makes way for a new,
fresh one. The dull eyes brighten.
The dropping head is held well. the
whole figure straightens. Every move
ment is full of strength and decision;
the very expression changes"
Among the MANY who callod m IA uIr
the stomach man" yesterday for the
good his treatment has done was Mrs
q. W. Rollins Of Burlingame, Cal. She
said:
For the last two years I have been
a physical wreck from catarrh OF the
stomach. I was almost hopeless when
| first called on Cooper. Since taking
his treatment I have gained in weight
and am feeling splendidly we'll My
return to good health has been re-
markable: 1t is certainly a wonderful
treatment" y

"RED" ARMY CONTINUES
ADVANCE ON BOSTON
Invaders Active i'm Mimic War
and Score New Advantage

BOSTON, Aug. 1S.-General Tasker
H Bliss and his invading army of the
red rested tonight at least Ave miles
nearer Boston than they were "a hours
ago, as a result of today's operations
in the war game.
The extreme left of the Massachu-
settss army of defense. known as the
blues, under command of Brigadier
General William A. Pew was ham,
mered unmercifullS, so that the en-
tire left wing was forced to retreat.
The blue army also suffered the loss
Of one battery and a wagon train.
Far superior in actual numbers and
in cavalry, the red force swept down
upon the blues left and drove them
first into one position and then another
with irresistible force. For the last
three days General Bliss has moved
his army in three divisions massed
with the full strength of his cavalry
on his left flank.
While today's fighting forced Gen
eral Pew to retreat and move his d.
vision headquarters from Robins Pond
back to South Henson. the engagement
was regarded as merely preliminary to
greater battle" which will be fought
probably tomorrow.

Hugh Dillon was on the stand for
