Coke" Habit is

Washington, Dec. 16.-That 10 per

United States conduct an unlawful
traffic in opium and other Illicit drugs
was the statement made by DR.. Chris
topher Koch Of Philadelphia before the
house ways and means committee Dr.
Koch is vice president OF the Pennsyl-
yania Board Of Pharmacy and has ap-
peared before the committee to urge
legislation to stop the growing traffic
in opium and cocaine in this country.
The committee was an interested au-

Conditions in China al no time We're
worse than they are in many cities Of
the United States, DR.. Koch declared.
Women and girls Of good families

is extending to the professions-par-

RED CROSS
SOCIETY
Paid Out $3.50. 5OO--Field
is World

Washington b. c., Dec. l6.-World-
wide service TO humanity was shown in
reports presented to the recent ma
tional meeting Of the American Red
Cross in Washington. This organiza-
tion, Of which President Taft is the
president. is recognized by the fed
eral government as the official chan.
mel for the conduct Of relief work
wherever il. the United States people
suffer from the results of great calami-
ties. But the Red Cross does not con.
fine itself to relief operations in this
country It's field is the World.
Experience proves not only that an
average Of five or six disasters, Sc.
we're enough to call for Red Cross help,
may be expected to occur every yea- in
the United States, but that the de-
mands from other countries may be
expected to be equally numerous. Some
idea Of the character and variety of
these demands may be gained from
the disasters with which the Red
Cross dealt in the last twelve months.
These included, in the United States,
one hurricane, one mine fire, two
mine explosions and forest fires in
Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington
and Minnesota; in foreign countries,
relief Of starving captured soldiers in
Nicaragua, floods in Mexico, France,
Seryia and Japan, the Armenian mas
sacres and the earthquake in Costa
Rica
In the disasters above mentioned
which occurred in the United States
sos lives were lost, while. approx,
mately, 1900 persons required imme.
diate assistance. About 5000 persons
lost their homes by fire or hurricane.
The money expended by the Red
Cross in these relief operations in the
United States was $6l96,00O, and in
foreign countries $66,5O0, total Of
$262,500. Other relief funds expended
in this country In conjunction with |
those of the Red Cross and according
to its plans and methods amounted to
$2lS,O0O, making the grand total re.
lief expenditures Of the year under
Red Cross leadership $4S0,5OO.

LawtOn Man Stung
By an Ad Crater

Lawton, Okla, Dec. Purporting
TO be an expert at selling advertising,
and agreeing to furnish handsome
set of menu cards, young man clev-
erly beat Willard Jacks, of the Busy
Bee cafe out of small sum Of money.
The man arrived in the city some time
ago and went to Mr.. Jacks. He ex-
hibited a handsome menu card OF a
swell eating house in Salt Lake City,
stating that he had stock of similar
cards and when he had sold enough
advertising he would have a set print.
ed, which he proposed 10 furnish free.
All that Mr. Jacks was asked to do
was to cash" the advertisements as
soon as he received them from the
merchants.
The man got busy and worked just
one day. He got several ads and re-
turning to the cafe asked that MIR.
Jacks give him the money on them.
Mr.. Jacks did this, expecting that the
man would return the next day with
more ads
However, the expert" advertising
seller failed to appear and Mr. Jacks
realized that he had been swindled |
The young fellow was an extraor
dinarily smooth talker, Of dignifed ap
Dearance but a crook from start to
finish. 1t seemed that this kind of
work was in his line of business for
the handsome menu card OF Salt Lake
City certainly takes the eye Of an up.
to-date cafe owner for the reason that
Il is beauty.
Thefman is tall, somewhat slender
with a couple of upper teeth out. He
apparently didn't like the town and
stayed only long enough to work
light game and MIR Jacks is out only
a small amount.
The man had his business down pat.
When taking an ad from merchant
he attempted to collect the pay in adj
vance. Should he have done this and
received the money for the same ad
from Mr.. Jacks he would have gotten
twice as much money All OF the mer.
chants who gave him ads refused to
pay until the menu cards were printed
and delivered.
