Doctor Issues Warning
And Tells How to Stop
Tobacco Habit

New York: Dr. Conner, Formerly of
John Hopkins Hospital, says: l am
often asked if I know anything TO
stop the tobacco habit and l always
recommend Nicotol, which l have
prescribed with great success. Nico-
tol contains no habit-forming drugs,
is absolutely harmless and produces
astonishing results in a very short
time The use OF tobacco saps the
vitality, vim, vigor and ambition of
the slave who is enthralIed by its
seductive effects. 1t undermines
the health and leaves the victim an
easy prey to general debility, throat
and lung troubles, nervousness, in
.somnia, heart trouble, kidney trouble,
headache, tongue and lip cancer and
even blindness. Physicians the world
over often trace the start OF the
above diseases and many others to
nicotine poisoning.

How a woman, buried under the
contempt of a small town and bur

is hers, is shown in one of the most

keynote of TOO Many Crooks" the
Gladys Leslie picture which will be
shown in the Colonial theater on
Thursday. The action is furnished
by a half dozen crooks turned loose
in an artstocratic suburb as house
party guests of a society girl. The
atmosphere is what she sought for a
crook play she was writing, and is
what she gets with vengeance.
Miss Leslie has the role of Boston
Fannie, confidence queen and baby
vamp and she never has been seen
to better advantage than in this
amazing comedy-drama written by E.
J. Rath and published in All-Story
Weekly. She and her pals not only
clean up the suburbs, but she starts
all sorts of trouble by attempting to
steal the affections of said citizens
who mistake her for the college chum
of the society girl.

Poles Massacre More
Jews, Zionists Hear
Two New Pogroms in June, in
Which Twenty-four Are Killed,
Described in Dispatch

Twenty-four Jews we're killed and
many wounded in two pogroms in Po-
land during June, according to a state
ment received from Copenhagen by the
Zionist Organization of America and
made public yesterday. The first oc-
Cured June 6 at Zawierje, when Polish
soldiers from Posen killed two and in
jured twenty-one, two of whom died
later, and the second at Praszka, on
the Polish -Prussian frontier, on June
20, when twenty Jews were put to
death.
The report says the Polish soldiers
looted Jewish homes in Bialystock,
Lublin and five other Polish towns on
the pretext of searching for weapons.
Besides excesses in other cities, the
advices state, the Polish authorities ar
rested Zionists who had assembled for
a conference June Ia in Warsaw and
deported three Of the leaders.
The Polish weekly newspaper "Rzon-
diwoiski" published recently, the Co
penhagen advices state, list of Chris
tian firms which, it said, had amassed
millions by food prohteering, and de-
clared that these firms were secretly
inciting the populace against the Jews
IN order to cover their own misdeeds.

30,177,OOO,OOO
i. S. War Cost
Up to June 20
Estimate Made by Glass
Subtracting Peace Time
Expenditures From Sums
Paid Out i'm Two Years

WASHINGTON, July s.-The war
cost the United States $30,177,0 900 900
up to June 20, 1919.
Secretary Glass made this estimate
today in submitting to the Congress
sional appropriations committees the
preliminary statements Of the treasury
on the condition of the nations
finances. He arrived at the estimate by
subtracting the average peace time ex-
penses for the same length of time.
at the rate of s1,OO0.0OO.000 annually,
from. the total expenditures, s32,427,-
100000, during the war.
Taxes and other revenues than bor-
rowed money took care of S9,384,ooO.-
900, or about 20 per cent of the war
cost. The remainder came from Lib
erty bond and Victory note issues and
savings stamps.
Further issues of bonds, Mr.. Glass
said, will not be necessary "before the
maturity or redemption of the Victory
notes" which have four years to run.
While it is impossible to estimate the
expenses to be incurred during the
present fiscal year. the secretary is
confident that treasury certificates,
supplemented by short-term notes, will
provide the necessary funds to pay the
governments debts.
The realization of these expecta-
tons. the secretary explained, is con-
tingent upon rigid economy by the
government, continuance Of ample rev.
enues from taxation, the practice Of
sober economy and wise investment
by the people, and strict avoidance Of
waste and speculation.
In calculating the war cost Secre-
tary Glass made no deduction Of ex-
penditures for loans to the Allies,
which amounted to $9,102,00O,0OO on
June 80, or for other investme nts, such
as ships, stock of the War Finance Cor
poraton, bonds of the Federal Land
banks, etc. The gross public debt June
80, without deducting such investments,
was s25, ,484 900, 900, a net increase for
the war period of s23,043, ,190,345, rep
resenting the excess of disbursements
over receipts.
Recent disbursements have been on
steadily descending scale. Expendi-
lures in the fiscal year just ended
amounted to $18,514, 100000, virtually
the estimate made by Treasury experts
last November when the cessation of
hostilities necessitated sudden revision
Of the governments plans. In June
the expenditures were $500, 1000, 900, the
smallest amount in any month since
September, 1917
The floating debt June 80 was 1884,
100000 in the form of Treasury certifi-
Gates, of which more than $60S. 900, 900
matured or were redeemed july 1,
leaving slightly more than s3,o0O,o00,-
0oO outstanding, which is roughly the
amount of the deferred instalments of
the income and profits taxes for the
fiscal year 1919, but coming due this
year, and Of the deferred instalments
OF the Victory Loan subscriptions.
