COCAINE HABIT IN FRANCE
IS FILLING THE ASYlUMS

Paris. Dec. 2s.--Alarmed by medical
reports which show the increasing
number of persons in certain sections
OF Paris who are addicted 10 the use
Of cocaine, the police have commenced
an energetic campaign TO suppress the
clandestine sale OF the drug They
have IA difficun Job on their hands.
Dr. Boriand, chief OF the ST. Anne
Lunatic Asylum. says that fully one
half of the young women who frequent
the cafes Of Montmartre and the Latin
Quarter are victims of the habit ana
sooner or later come under his care.
The attraction of cocaine is not easily
understood by those who have obsery-
ed its effects. The original sensation
continues for only brief period while
the after effects follow swiftly and are
terrible.
The law prohibits the sale of the
drug except on presentation of a phy
sician's prescription but the illegal
methods employed to obtain il are
many and ingenious. The walters at
certain cafes make a business of re-
failing cocaine to customers with
whom they come in contact,

Mexico City. Dec. 2s.-Thirty thou

homes in the United States last year.
This intelligence has disturbed the
local press, a part OF which, assuming
that the emigrants are attracted by
the higher wages paid on the railroads

centers of the North, are sounding a
warning against what they describe as
false promises" intended TO lure the

of fighting his countrymen. He Is
pretty tired of the war trade, particu-
larry as IL must be pursued at the risk
OF his own life.

THIS AMERICAN
OuTWiTS MADERo GOVERNMENT
WHO TRIES TO DEFRAUD
HIM OF $25,000.

Mexico City, Dec. 2S.-A story Is
told of a well known American mining
man in Mexico, whose foresight prob
ably will save him considerable money
During the Madero revolution his
property was visited frequently by the
rebels, who forced him To contribute"
lavishly to the rebellion. For monies
horses, provisions and other things
taken, he was Jrtyen the provisional
receipts through the evidence Of which
he was To be reimbursed when the
revolution triumphed.
Soon after the close of the first revo-
luton the mining man deposited in the
Office OF the Minister Of Finance the
receipts. which called for some $4,000,
He was assured that in due time he
would receive his money
II was not forthcoming, however,
ami several months later he called
again, whereupon he was told that un .
fortunately the receipts which he had
presented had been lost, and the de-
partment had no evidence that any
thing was due him. 1t was added that
if the receipts were found full set
tleament would be made.
But the claimant had provided for
Just this contingency. and the next
day he appeared at the Office of tho
minister and deposited "a new and
complete set of receipts. At the same
time he informed the official that If
the second lot were lost he could re-
place them. as he had taken the pre-
caution to make fifty photographs OF

AN IMPORTANT STEP FORWARD

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 2s-The in
auguiation of the parcels post plan in
the United States on Wednesday next.
Jan. l, 1919, win mark one of the most
important epochs in the development
Of the American postal service. The
last previous step or importance was
taken when the Rural Free Delivery
system was put into effect fifteen years
ago The Introduction of the parcels
post system had been agitated for ten
years without material progress when
Rural Free Delivery became fact.
Since then the demand for the intro
duction of IA parcels post system in
the United States became so urgent
that Congress finally, Notwithstanding
the strenuous opposition from certain
interested quarters, yielded To the
wishes of the people and enacted a
parcels post law.
The framing of the law was not an
in the nature OF an experiment upon
tremendous scale. Ii is true, the
! trainers of the law had for their
guidance the laws and regulations oi
number of foreign countries where
the parcels post has been In success
ful operation for many years but the
conditions of the postal service in the
| United States are SO radically diff
ierent from those of the postal ser
vice In other countries that IL was not
an easy matter to adapt their laws to
American conditions and requirements
Much Work Of Preparation.
At last the law was drafted, sub
mitted To Congress and passed and
January /. 1913 was fixed as the date
| for its going into effect. The man,
radical changes in the postal service
necessitated by the requirements OF
the parcels post system imposed
tremendous burden of work upon tho
postal authorities and during the las
three months several of the depart
ments worked practically day ano
+; night To complete preparations for III.
Inauguration of the new service.
An entirely new series of stamps fol
