Tattoo Suggested for Army Horses

A third marking takes place when the
horse Is sent from the army remount
depot to the troop or battery, and II
must be renewed from time to time.
1t Is Captain Conrad's idea that
more enduring designation could be
accomplished by applying mark to
the inside OF the upper lip Of the
horse. He has devised an instrument
for this purpose. and suggests the use
Of India ink. with the result that the
mineral adopted will be indelible.
This will require. of course, a regular
system OF marking so that there may
be no duplicates By this means
horse accepted for military service
will keep it's number. 1t may be nee.
essary to have legislation to prevent
tampering with the designation or ma
king use Of similar mark in the case
q horses not used in the military
service.
Captain Conrad's quest is expected
to lead to several important acquisi.
tions during the coming year, BY this
method the middleman is avoided, and
horses are obtained at a much lower
price than under the contract system.
Besides, there is a better opportunity
Of selection, and controversies are
avoided which so often have prevailed
between the government representa-.
tives and the contractors who fail to
comply with specifications in the de-
livery Of military animals.

through which opium producing coun-

importation of the drug is prohibited.
The first realization OF the serious
ness of the opium traffic so far as the
United States is concerned came when
the government started to put the
Philippines in order, An attempt TO
regulate the unlimited traffic there
called for the appointment of a com
mission. The commission in tracing
the many Americans engaged in the
opium trade found that the United
States. with some 100000 American
users Of smoking opium, to say moth
ing of the Chinese users here, pre-
sented almost as serious question
as the insular possessions. Since that
time the United States has led the
fight among the powers against the
drug
About a year ago a law absolutely
prohibiting the importation into this
country of opium for any except medi-
cinal purposes was passed, But there
are now about $50, 900 Americans using
the drug and In spite of the prohibit.
tory statute about $4,000 pounds OF
smoking opium is struggled into this
country annually.
