research concerning vltamines. tho lat
est report OF tho British Medical Re
search Council says:
"The present situation is curious
one, upon which posterity will prob

still have almost no knowledge OF the
nature OF these elusive food substances
or Of their mode Of action. but we have
gained empirical knowledge already OF
tho greatest practical value for the
prevention OF scurvy and OF other
grave diseases and for the promotion
of health and beauty in the popula-
ton"

Prohibition Commissioner Roy A. Haynes will person.
ally direct drive to clean up the Pacific Coast eay in
January, 1t announced here last night
Mr.. Haynes will be accompanied to the Coast by Col L.
G. Mutt chief Of the narcotic division Of the Prohibition
Bureau and corps Of agents especially trained in drug
suppression.
Backed by the Jones Miller law which enacted un
der nsstenoe Of the Hearst newspapers Mr. Haynes said
night that he hoped to be able to check extremely
dangerous vice and eventually root out This law deals
specifically with the smuggling Of drugs which, Mr.
Haynes declared is the big problem to be overcome.
Mr. Haynes made 1t perfectly clear that his campaign
the Coast has connection with the of Wallace
Reid, celebrated motion picture star, and he made it
equally clear that he will not start inquiry into the
motion picture colony
He is convinced, he said that there is drug ring
in the movie colony and the percentage Of addcts there
probably will measure far below that in average life
What he especially anxious to do he said is to break
up drug among the poorer classes parcu
larly lumberjacks and day laborers.
The coast situation Mr. Haynes stated has long
of annoyance and is really responsible for the
recent drug legislation that has been enacted As the
gateway from the Orient he pointed out, it is only
natural that such drugs smuggled in should

1t is foolish to attribute drug addiction the motion

Minnie. listed by biologists as

Minnie comes from New York
where she has been a curiosity

Even the able police force at the

Minnie's morphine and arsenic-eat-

up. She ate police documents, tele-
