Of the extensive and rapidly growing
use Of heroin for parcotic purposes pro-
nounces this white, crystalline, odor-

of drugs, five times as powerful as

Although the drug has been on the
market only five years, and its sale is

slaves to its use and that il is work
ing frightful havoc, mentally, morally

The habit is most frequently acquired
from the use Of 'quack remedies for

IS the disposition of heroin fiends to

that the methods of the new gang OF

Big Firms Involved.
There are big firms who make a
business of buying up cheap 9eweIry

broker. TN past years it has often
been possible to detect the spurious
article because it was set IN new
gold shank which has generally aroused
suspicion. The new method IS to put
a white sapphire in an old shank IN
a setting of platinum when 'lt IS
getting dusk, or on a dull day, when II
a well dressed man walks in, and pull
ing the ring of his finger, asks for
loan on II till the following day
The age Of the shank and the mans
manner put the assistant on his
guard. He takes the mans word for
il that it is a diamond and advances
the money on it, only to discover when
he sees the ring by daylight that he
has been done and that he has taken
