Law
Restricting The Sale Of Mar.
Cotics
viii Become Effective On
March |

Commencing March /, very dras
tic federal law goes into effect gov.
erning the sale and administering of
narcotics. The new law is called the
Harrison anti-narcotic law and will
affect all druggists, dentists and ply.
sicians. All sellers and prescrbers
of narcotics will have to register with
the local collector of internal reven.
ues, and violations will be punished
with a fine not to exceed $4,000, or
Imprisonment not to exceed five
years.
An annual fee will have to be paid
the collector of revenues and as rec
ords Of many kinds will have to be
kept covering all sales, names, ETC.,
all blanks and forms must be secured
at the revenue station also. All phar-
macists Will be forced to register as
dealers in narcotics and all doctors
will have to be regularly registered
as physicians If a physician or den
tist keeps a supply Of drugs on hand
in all probability he will be forced to
take out dealers license also.
This law is the result of much agi-
tation and Is offered as a remedy for
the too free distribution of drugs by
dealers and physicians, AS the sale
OF narcotics has been somewhat un-
restricted in the past abuses have
crept in Morphine and cocaine hab-
its have been formed in many cases
directly through the comparatively
free sale which now obtains through
dishonest handlers.
Under the new law revenue officers
will have police powers over handlers
of narcotics and Illicit dealers will
be placed in the position of moon
sinners"
The sale of medicines that contain
drugs under q certain per cent and in
q quantity not dangerous is not re-
The registration restrictions
are as follows: opium, cocoa leaves,
heroine, codeine, cocaine,
or any other derivative of cocoa or
opium, or any preparation for internal
use containing any of the following
drugs in greater quantity than two
grains of opium, one-fourth grain of
one-eighth grain of heroine,
nre Oup grain Of pOdpiua in ono Oiluca
or any external preparation contain
ing cocaine or eucaine.
This law, while being revenue
is not temporary like many
Of the emergency measures recently
object. Through its workings it will
be possible to trace Immediately any
Illicit sale of narcotics.
In discussing the measure today
prominent druggists declared that an
upheaval would be the result in the
drug business. Most of the patent
medicines will be affected by the new
ruling they declared. Cough medi-
cines especially come under the act
as virtually all medicines of this char
acter at present on the market in ex-
cess of one-eighth grain of heroic.
Paregoric Is one of the prominent
nostrums to escape as 1t Is safely un
der the two grain limit in opium.

TREASURY AGENTS
 SEIZE DIAMONDS
Two Egg shaped Stones Formerly Worn By the Queen Of Sheba
 of Great Value.

New York, Jan. 15.-Treasury agents yesterday seized from A. Anpikadjian, a resident of Con- stantinople, two egg-shsped diamonds weighing more than eighteen carats each. The diamonds are said to be of great value, not only because of their size and quality but because of their antiquity. Collector of the Port Malone directed the seizure of the jewels which, it is claimed Anpikad- jan failed to declare to the customs officials when he arrived in the United States October 19 last.
 Purchased at Constantinople.
 Upon being questioned, after the seizure of the diamonds, their owner said that he had purchased them in the jewelry market at Constantinople from an Egyptian princess who de- clared they had been in her family for centuries and had been worn at one time by the Queen of Sheba At the time of the purchase, Anpikad- jan said, the diamonds were attached to two emeralds, about one inch square. The emera1ds and the dia- monds formed a large pair of ear rings. The emeralds were purchased by another dealer, he said
 Counsel for Anpikadjian contended that the diamonds were artistic an- tiques free from duty and that his client had shown them to the GUS toms officers upon his arrival and they had passed them.

IF YOUR SKIN ITCHES, JUST
 USE RESINOL

Tho moment that Resinol Ointment touches itching skin, the itching stops and healing begins. That is why doc tors have prescribed it successfully for nineteen years in even the severest cases of eczema, letter, ringworm, rashes and other tormenting, unsightly skin erup- tions. Aided by warm baths with hes- incl Soap, Resinol Ointment restores the skin to perfect health and comfort, quickly, easily and at little cost.
 You need never hesitate to use Res incl. It contains absolutely nothing that could injure the tenderest skin even of a tiny baby. No other treat ment for the skin now before the public can show such record of professional approval. All druggists sell Resinol Ointment (5Oc. and $l.00), and Res incl Soap (25c.). For trial free, write to Dept. XIX, Resinol Baltimore, Md. Avoid substitutes by calling for "Res- incl" by name. Interruptions dealers sometimes offer worthless limitations.
