THE POWER OF A \

A PENNY. the despised small.
est coin of the realm, isn't
much indeed. Yet it is the
material of which dollars and
million of dollars are made up,
and there never was a more
convincing demonstration of
that than the good that is be-
ing done through the sale of
Red Cross Christmas seals at
penny apiece.
You buy, say, a quarters
worth, and affix to each
letter or parcel sent during the
holiday season.
1t doesn't set you back much.
1t is so little. indeed, that the
hardest part of it is getting
people to realize that though
it amounts so little in any sim
gle case, all the patrons of the
Red Cross seal combined make
a mighty volume of dollars
that is going far to sweep out
of existence the plague of
tuberculosis.
Your quarters worth of Red
Cross seals seems to you per
haps, like a spoonful;
but even the mightiest torrents
are made up of drops of water.
Your quarters wOrth-Or your
dimes worth-helps.
Remember, then, the Red
Cross seals as part of your holi-
day buying. They are on sale
now and will be on sale until
after Christmas.
Buy some. Use them on
your letters and parcels. Thus
you will help two ways; you
will contribute to the fund that
is waging the splendid and
winning battle against con
sumption; and your seals will
advertise to those that see them
the fact that the fight is in pro.
gress and that victory is in
sight.
Don't forget the Red Cross
Christmas seals.

THE MENACE OF DRUGS

RUSSIA. even if beaten in this
war, will enjoy a huge com
pensation for all the expense
and suffering of it, if the car
continues the absolute prohi-
bition of vodka and other H.
quors which has been enforced
since the war commenced.
Hindenberg is not capable of
staying and wcunding as many
Russians in a year as vodka
has ruined in a month. The
Russian drink bill applied for a
few years to wiping out ex-
penditule for war, would de.
stroy the debt, says the Mime

hibition will do more for Rus

the Russian ministers and all

what prohibition has done fo1
Russia ever night, recognize
this truth. The only question
is whether after the war tn.

hOId TO 1t. ..
The Merriam crime investig-
alton committee in Chicago
finds that over 80 per cent of
the crime in Chicago owes its
instigation to drugs. Grimm
ais are users Of cocaine, NOR
phine and other like concoc-
tons of deadly poison. Their
tissues are degenerated, their
evil passions influenced by
drugs. The abuse of drugs is
a more terrible, insidious and
"respectable' debilitization
than that wrought by alcohol.
1t is much less apparent; not
at all social. and more awful
in it's ravages. And this is not
abating by a hairs breadth the
indictment against alcohol.
The perfection of practical
chemistry, which is character.
istiC of this age, brings it's
peculiar dangers, or rather it's
special vices. Those vices are
with us, they r already get
ting in their deadly work. In
seen, unreCognized, they yet
are active, and must be expos
ed, fought, defeated. If alcohol
is a curse, drugs are a pestil-
ence. If alcohol shortens life,
drugs STAY it. If alcohol brings
woe and want, drugs bring yio-
lent crime and swift destruc-
ton. An alCoholized Russia
still might fight; a bedrugged
America will rot.
Just AS poison in the fifteenth
and sixteenth centuries were
known but were undeteCtable,
and therefore unaCcounted for
many murders, so today drugs,
whose secret vending is every
where carried on. but whose
prevention is not yet feasible,
are disseminating throughout
society their destructive power.
To make prevention feasible
the extent of the abuse must
be realized, the danger under
stood and the remedy discover
ed and applied.
The evil is extensive although
hidden. 1t is menacing, al
though hidden. Its prohibit
ton is even more urgent than
that of alcohol.
