able Recovery.

Il simply couldn't say anything
/ too strong for Tanlac, for it re-

for him hundreds of friends
Since my own gratifying exper-
fence with Tanlac, | have recon-
mended the medicine to hundreds
of my friends, scores of them trav-
cling men, and many have thanked
me heartily for the advice, which
resulted in their being greatly bene-
fitted. II was q travelling salesman
that got z. 2 TO try the medicine, and
although l was skeptical a first, the
results in my case have thoroughly
convinced me that Tanlac is a boon
TO humanity. Why, for five years,
no matter what / ate or how little.

However. had only taken a half

SPENT
IN U. S. YEARLY
BY DRUG SLAVES
Government Claims There are Two
Million Dope Addicts In the
United States.
Special TO The Argus.

New York, Dec. 30.-What Ia the
worst evil in America?
What 10 the chief breeder oil
crime. the greatest menace to pub
lie health and mentality?
Narcotic drugs!
That Is the answer of police Of
fciaIs. the medical profession and
government experts.
The use of Illicit drugs has in
creased tremendously in this couh-
try in the last few. years. Statistics
show America uses 16 times more
E opium and its deriyatives-hsro Groin
and morphine than any other
country. The same is true Of CO.
caine, obtained from the South
American cocoa plant.
We use as much OPIUM as China
did Is years ago. The United States
has supplanted China as the worlds
greatest opium consumer.
Hundreds OF millions of dollars
are spent annually for these hab-
Informing drugs almost billion
dollars IL statistical estimates are
correct.
1000, 900 in L. :.
There is no way of obtaining a
reliable census of "doDe" users. A
year ago evidence presented before
congress by Congressman II. T.
Rainey estimated the number of adj
dicts-confirme'l narcotic users-at
almost 100000
DIR. Carleton Simon, special depu
ty police commissioner of New
York. head of the most elaborate
police narcotic division in the coun-
try, and chairman of the National
Narcotic Police conference, IN
which 3S1 American cities are rep
resented, conservatively estimates
that New York City alone has TO-
600 addicts
Proportional aly. therefore, the
United States has 100000 addicts,
who consume 200 tons of narcotics
each year,
Ralph Oyler, chief of the New
York narcotic squad of the Internal
Revenue bureau, who has had IL
years in the federal narcotic ser
vice all over the country, says the
Illicit drug traffic is greatest, in
proportion TO population. IN Toledo,
Kansas City and St. Paul.
Among the larger cities. Oyler
says, narcotic conditions are worst
in New York, Philadelphia, San
Francisco and Chicago
Recently the traffic has been
greatly checked in New York, az
cording to DR.. Simon and Chief
Oyler. Philadelphia is taking New
York's place as the greatest SNUG

Both agree that there ara fewer

SEN. LADD RAPS
RE:SERvE: BOARD
ECHOES JOHN SHELTON WILL
LlAMs IN SPEAKING BEFORE
TARIFF CONGRESS.
MANY DIFFERENT OPINIONS
Republican Senator, Talking Eefore
Southern Protectlonists, Declares
Reserve System "Enslavins
the People,

Greensboro, N. Forty-three bill
lion dollars has been lost by the peo-
pie Of the United States because OF
unnatural deflation forced through"
Senator E. F. Ladd, republican, of
North Dakota, declared in an address
before the opening session of the
Southern Tariff Congress.
Basing his figures ON recent testi-
n1ony Of John Shelton Williams, for
mer comptroller of the currency, but
not giving Gov. Harding's REPUTATION
of those figures, Senator Laid said
the nation is indebted to Mr. VIII
liams for enlightening it as to the
workings of the federal reserve sys-
tie mas now carried out by seven men
who have the power to initiate and
contract without regard to the gov
ernment."
I'VE have recently witnessed the
methods pursued under the guidance
OF these uncontrolled guardians of our
money for further enslaving the peo-
pie of our country" the speaker said.
Having inflated the currency until
the dollar is worth about 40 cents,
the government proceeds to borrow
$24 ,000,000,000 to help pay the ex-
penses of great world war. The
real value of these dollars was not to
exceed $4,000, 100000 in the purchas-
ing power under normal conditions
1.-The same seven men proceeded to
deflate the purchasing power of the
dollar, and now the government will
have to liquidate that debt; that is,
the common people, the real workers
of the land, will pay for the most Of
1t on basis representing the value Of
$50,000,000.000 when expressed in
terms of agricultural products"
Referring to the tariff, Senator
Laid advocated an alliance between
the south and west to prevent the
farmers from becoming the prey of
the great manufacturing centers."
The farmer is not justified, he said,
'in remaining silent under the treat
ment which affords 10 per cent pro-
lection on raw hides and then gives
$50 per cent protection on leather
products, SO hidden that the average
person does not know what is the
trouble"
In the Fordney tariff bill, Senator
Laid said, "a sop is thrown" whichs.
If accepted, will plunge the farmeres
more deeply into debt than ever be-
fore. He said the bill did not afford
adequate protection either to the
stock man, the sheep industry, the
grain grower or TO the agricultural
products OF the south.

CONGRESSMAN LOWRY
FAYORS DISARMAMENT.
Disarmament by International Agree
ment Most Important Problem.

In my opinion the biggest question
now before the world is the question
of preventing war. With the progress
that has been made in teh use of eX-
plosives and gases, and the arts OF
destruction generally, it seems. to me
that another World War would just
about destroy civilization and wreck
humanity.
Again, believe that the longest
possible step toward preventing wal
would be a mutual agreement among
the nations to disarm. Therefore the
most important thing that now COM
mand the attention of our government
and of every other civilized govern
ment, is to find basis on which such
an agreement can be reached i'm
mediately, and can be made binding
and permanent.
While | was living in the State of
Texas some six or. seven years ago
when the European nations were al
ready in the World War and before
America was drawn into it remem-
Der discussing this matter with a Mis-
sissippi Senator, into whose company
! was thrown on railroad train. To
him | said about this: When the
great war ends, America will be the
richest nation on the globe, and most
of the other nations will be in financial
ruin. America will then have. such an
opportunity for discharging mission
to the race as has never come to any
ether nation in history. She will be In
position to propose a general disarna-
ment, and to lead in the move. The
fact that she will be better able to
maintain greater military establish
ments than any other existing nation
will put her in position to become the
leader Of disarmament.
I do not fatter myself that I was a
prophet. l simply foresaw a thing
that great many other people fore
saw. The opportunity has come to US
and seems enhanced rather than dim
inished by our own forced participa-
ton in the tragic struggle. Unless
we now have the courage and the
faith to take the lead and demand OF
the world a new order of things we
commit an unspeakable crime against
humanity; and invite upon ourselves
the blood of untold multitudes who
will go to slaughter in future wars.

merely that the premier would take

from us during the war. None of the
principal has ever been paid, and o9ly
small pittance of the interest due
