new DOPE LAW WILL HELP
Cadet Taylor Says the Traffic Will
Now Be Much More Easily
Handled.
EASIER TO GET CONVICTIONS

THE new law regulating the sale of
opium and its derivitives viii give us a
better hold on buyers and sellers of
dope than we have ever had before"
said Collector of Customs Cadet Taylor.
Dope fiends are the most unreliable
people from whom 10 get evidence re-
garding the source Of their dope supply.
They will lie with the most utter abandon
and often with real artistry And often
they will blsndly refuse to tell In tho
fantastic world in which they float the
things of this world are of little moment,
and they look a long sentence for con-
tempt calmly in the face and refuse to
tell.
"Nine-tenths of the men caught loot
ing houses of plumbing fixtures are dope
fiends. The normal man won't take the
risk for the small profit But the man
crazy for dope thinks only about his
dope 1 had house that was looted
Of sS6 worth of fixtures and IL was proved
that all the Iooter got for them was 60
cents, but that was enough to buy dope
and forgetfulness
The new law, providing that the col
lector of internal revenue provide blanks,
which the druggists and other dispensers
OF these drugs must buy and have filled
out by each purchaser, will give real evil
dence on which we can secure convic-
ton.
we need state law to supplement the
national one. so that quicker action can
be gotten in dealing with these cases"
The collector OF customs will have a
conference with Chief of Police Dunn
and Collector Of Internal Revenue North
soon upon the new law.

That Is the title given him by the Kan

Mayor Dahimsn OF Omaha were the
speakers last night at the closing meet

packed and q band from Kansas city
entertained the crowd
Some OF Jims friends seem 10 think

But from the dope coming up ahead of
Jim from the Fprngs, he rs a pretty lively
dead one. or thinks he is. He writes Il
friend that this speechifying he has
been doing for the vets at Excelsior
Springs is "A sort Of jockeying for a start
in the real race of mis- life here in Omaha.
Here's How.
For the delectation OF those good
Omaha folk who might feel proud OF their
honorable mayors triumph. this para
graph from the Kansas City Post may
re added:
Dahiman said he had been coming TO
the Springs for fifteen years and had
seen IL grow up. lie told the audience
the way 70 kill the place was to make Il
dry.
Jim seems 20 have been sent In in the
pinch. IL was the last half of the ninth,
with two out and the score two TO one
against the Rummies, with Demon Rum,
himself. on third.
"Dahlnfan, Dahlman, send Dahlman in
TO bat" yelled the fans. So the Demon,
stopping to mop the sweat from his
brow. waved from third to Jim. who
walked from the bench to the plate.

Ing off one and having one strike called
on him. Jim delivered, hitting to the
fence for the circuit, sending the Demon
in ahead Of him.
The drys at first put up quite a boiler
about sending in "a rank outsider" but
nothing doing, the jumps word went. The
game was over and the vets won by
one run.
Now. they do say that n James Caruso

The Bee Want AID

A sign is seen only by
those who chance to
pass the property. An
agent goes to men who
have never seen the
property and thus
brings it to the atten-
ton of a greater num-
Der of people.
But a want ad in The
Bee reaches the entire
city.
1t supplements tho
work of the agent-it
does not replace him.
Where the agent sees only
a dozen men who are inter
ested IN your property, The
Bee want sd reaches hun
dreds.
Send In your ad without
delay-someone may even
now be looking for the prop
erty you have for sale. The
ad will be almost sure to
reach him. Try IL anyh0u
the cost IL small.
Omaha daily bee., 1915-01-21
The Sign

When you put a sign
on your property it at
tracts more attention to
itself than to the house
you desire to sell.
If the property is a
residence and your OBJ
jet is to convince a
prospective buyer of
the select character of
the neighborhood, a
sign certainly would not
be good taste.
On some kinds OF prop
erty. such as a vacant lot or
a t1mble-down empty house
near an abandoned coal
mine. a sign would not de-
tract from the value Of the
land.
But Il would not bring =
buyer out to see 1t. some
thing else Is required to let
the buyer know where your
property Il located.

Three Ways to Sell a House
Agent

One of the best ways
to sell a h ouse
is through an agent.
An agent works hard
for his commission; he
must first find a buyer
who is interested in the
kind of property you
have; then he may
spend weeks trying to
convince the man that
he should buy.
Often he does not sell the
house, SO all his work 10
done without pay. He has
spent his time. but you have
spent nothing.
You should always em-
ploy an agent. however. be-
cause his experience gives
him . degree OF skill In clos
ing deals that Is worth all
that he earns in the way OF
commissions.
