Uncle Sam has entered into the
battle against the dope trafnc, and.
according TO Internal Revenue Col.
lector James J. Brady, the dope bends
and dope peddhers will have hard
shedding after March /.
The act OF congress, recently
passed, regulating the sale OF opium,
cocaine, morphine, heroin and code
Inc. requires that on and after
March l. every person. firm or cor.
poration that produces, imports. man
ufactures, sells or distributes any OF
these drugs. shall register with the
internal revenue collector and also
pay tax Of 81 per year.
This means that all dealers. drug
gists, physicians. and dentists who
sell or distribute these drugs will be
directly under the supervision OF the
collector OF internal revenue and re-
sponsible TO the United States gov
eminent The act provides that no
dealer can sell the drugs except upon
written order, and that this order
must be upon form furnished by
the government only TO registered
persons.
Peddlers OF drugs will find II diff
cult to get possession OF dope because
the act makes 1t unlawful for an un-
registered person TO have the drugs
In his possession. unless by prescrip-
ton OF physician or other author.
lied dispenser, and provides severe
penalties for those not registered who
purchase or sell them. The maximum
penalty is $4,000 fine and Ave
months Imprisonment.
Even the prescriptions of physi-
clans, dentists and veterinarians, who
prescribe the drugs, are hedged about
by such conditions that il will be easy
TO trace any quantity that might be
sold to those addicted to the habit, "
said James j. Brady, Thursday morn
ing. They are required by the act
to keep record OF all such drugs dis
pensed or distributed, showing the
amount, the date, the name and ad-
dress OF the patient. This record
must be kept for two years and Is al
ways open TO the inspection OF the
United States, the state or city Off
cials. This makes tracing the sale
of drugs very simple"
I'm the case OF the dealers and
manufacturers, the order forms must
be made In duplicate and kept on file
so that their trade in the drugs will
always be open to official inspection
to the smallest detail" continued Mr.
Brady. and with the dealers, manu-

Buchanan, an affinity, for whom he left
his wife six years ago.
The case is one of the strangest In
stances OF the sort that has come to
the notice of the authorities.

for the Lima Locomotive works. with
a big salary, anu an acquaintance with
leading business men OF the country,
kissed his wife goodbye, six years
ago, when he left for trip TO Allan.

the Wife Of photographer. She left
her husband to elope with Palmer, a
well-educated and cultured man.
The next that his legal wife heard
OF Palmer, with whom she had lived
happily for-34 years, was when her
husbands nephew, Irving Cowles, OF
Chicago. received telephone mes
sage from Mrs. Cora Mckee Buchanan
that Palmer bad died in Grace hospi-
tai Christmas day. from stomach

Mrs Palmer came here from her
home in South Haven, TO claim the

greatest surprise to me. She is not
much younger than | am, and | can't

Palmer lost his position with the
locomotive works when his legal wife
started an investigation of the elope-
ment. He descended further and fur
ther down the scale, losing a position
with local lubricator firm. and be-
coming laborer Later, he lost even
that work. and his affinity went to

obtained the janitor's job in the
