GERMANY's DEBT AND FINANCES

gold backing for these paper issues has decreased from
717 per cent to 209 in three and half years. These
figures touch only the Reichsbank the National bank of
Germany The loan banks have in addition expanded
their issues of paper money from $3000000O to above
$200O00000O This shows there is in paper money
issued by Germanys national bank above billions
Of dollars Germany has had to maintain herself and her
debts to outside nations are negligible. While the
continues this is advantage to her, since she does not
have to make her foreign credit good When the war is
and the water is squeezed out OF the fictitious
wealth the German people have piled up profits
there is liable to be serious trouble in the readustmen
Germany made effort to pay any part of her
penses by taxation but relied entirely on the issuing Of
paper money and the selling of bonds This was wise

them with the belief they conducting the with

neutralize and then wash out of your

Those subject to sick headaches,

stone phosphate from the drug store
and begin enjoying this morning in
side bath. 1t is said that men and wo-
men who try this become enthusiastic

health measure for it is more import
ant to keep clean and pure on the in
side than on the outside, because the
skin pores do not absorb impurities
into the blood, causing disease, while
the bowel pores do.
The principle Of bathing inside is
not new, as millions of people practice
it. Just as hot water and soap cleanse,
purify and freshen the skin, so hot
water and teaspoonful of limestone

Habit-forming Drugs. No. 2
By ANDREW F. CURRIER, NJ. D.

Narcotics and hypnotics are the
drugs which most frequently in
duce drug habits. A narcotic pro-
duces insensitiveness or stupor, or
both; a hypnotic produces sleep.
The narcotics include alcohol. In
all its forms, opium with its deriya-
tives, morphine, codeine, heroin.
and many others, coal-tar prepara-
tions, acetanilide. antipyrene, anti
febrin, antikamnia, Phenacetine
and many others, also cannabis In
dica from which hashish is OBJ
tanned.
Hypnotics include alcohol, sui
phonal, trional, veronal, chloral.
paraldehyde and many others.
Alcohol is the principal element
in many of the proprietary or pat
ent medicines, and often 1t Is the
only substance they contain which
has any medicinal influence.
Opium, whether as laudanum,
paregoric, or heroin, is the essen.
tial ingredient in many cough sy-
rups and soothing syrups.
Cocaine is a most useful drug
In producing anaesthesia, but It is
also a most dangerous one, destroy
ing nerve and will power.
Coal tar preparations are used in
enormous quantities to relieve
headache; they are heart depress-
ants and have a decided element
of danger in addition to the fas-
cination which their effect has
upon many individuals.
Their sale ought to be rigidly
limited and restricted. Cannabis
lndica is used to a moderate extent
In cough mixtures and for the re-
lief Of pain, but its use cannot be
compared with other narcotics. per-

to require constantly increasing
doses, notwithstanding its disagree
