The opium poppy grows in In

The ground has to be specially
prepared, the seed sown with the
greatest care and the soil well cult

But there's always money, and
plenty of it, for that work.
The British government lends
money to opium farmers in planting
time, helps them to buy implements.
seeds, etc, and in the harvest time
money for labor, too.
When the opium is gathered, the
British government holds a public
auction and sells to the highest bid

worse than death to countless thou

They were:
Louise Dundee, aged twenty
four.
Eva Dundee, aged nineteen.
They were the daughters Of
George w. Dundee, 4 Boone street,
Cumberland. 1t was only two
weeks ago that the Misses Dundee
finally left this city to take up
work in a silk mill in the Mary
land town.
Louise and Eva, of an indepen-
dent turn of mind, had worked in
several towns before coming to
Washington after the war. At one
time Louise werked as an opera
tor with the Chesapeake and Poto-
mac Telephone Company. Later
both obtained employment as
models in a department store, the
beauty Of their face and forms
winning them these positions. Dis

many social affairs in the Capital.

NEW YORK. Oct. a9.-More than 300 New York ministers representing Protestant denominations pledged themselves today at a conference at the Marble Collegiate church to wage a war to the death against bootleg gers "despicable lawbreakers" and politicians attempting to nullify the eighteenth amendment" The Rev.

ALLURING ODOR OF NEW PERFUME GIVES
 GIRLS MORE CHARM
"But all things about her are drawn From Maytime and the dewy dawn"
 --Wordsworth.

The delicate and alluring fragrance which seems to be almost part of most women has an appeal all its own which makes their appearance and company so pleasing. That delicate perfume seems to pervade their hair, their skin, the very air they breathe. You fairly drink in the intoxicating and dazzling charm of such women.
 If you look for the reason why this fragrance seems so personal, so in- finite and so natural, you will invari- ably find it is the perfume of their favorite toilet necessities, which bear the well-known Black and White trade mark.
 Never before has such tremendous approval been given by the girls and women of this country to any new creation as they are heaping on the unusually dainty and delicate odor known and expressed best by the en- trancing terms, Incense of Flowers" ,"
 That it is unusual is best proven by the tremendous sale of 50-cent Face Powder, and the 25-cent Talcum Powder, which bear the famous Black and White label. "Incense of Flow CTS" perfume is blended with their exquisite texture, forming what is fast being ralized by girls and women as the height of excellence in body sachet and complexion finish.

SEES SOLUTION ID
 EUROPE PROBLEMS
Head Of U. S. Chamber u Commerce Believes New
 Debt Move Will Win

LOUISVILLE, Kyo Oct. 2s.--Julius II. Barnes of New York, president ol the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, at a board of traue dinner here tonight asserted ln~1 "events in Europe are shaping TOT the probable final clearing of Ques- tions which have so perplexeo Ihe world" and has based it largely upon the progress made in the appolntmeAe of an expert committee to examine Germany's capacity to settle it's rep arations obligations. "America nas lived so 4DnC," he said. Under the shadow of successive hopes ana tneii successive defeat that our people oo not yet fully realize the significance of the agreement of this last iew days which all the forces in the world including the hitherto withheld Tn, fluence of Anne ca itself, VIII gather in conference for the solution of these problems that really are un- solvable.
 Secretary Hughes has stated that the first and primary step. in world rehabilitation must be the determina- tion by able men, experienced m economies of the full measure Of restitution which a guilty Germany must bear and the method in which that restitution can be, translated into resources which will most quick ly repair the injury of those nations which suffered under Germany's as- sault.
 The fact that Secretary Hughes has distinctly excluded from such first consideration the determination of the method of treating the debts due to us for war advances, means. in it's ultimate analysis, that, having fixed by undivided attention the ma jor question in this chain of settle ments, there will then come into play a similar consideration of these debts due us and their treatment, in such manner that the burden can be met even while maintaining the full earning pro "perity of our debtors.
 when one now finds the nations of the world agreeing that the first step to ultimate recovery lies in the de- termination by business judgment of the major question of Germany's full capacity to pay and how-then at this point the core of the United States can recall with mingled feeling of pride and regret, that itself almost year ago clearly failed to gain the &C., ceptance of this same method of set- clement and was prevented largely by political consideration which ten months later is now asserted by the governments of the world.
 "The views eXpr sssd then are to- day in effect the formula under which the now agreed upon conference will act"

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY

Most people do not realize the alarm ing increase and remarkable prevalency of kidney disease. While kidney dis orders are the most common diseases that prevail, they are almost the last recognized by patient and physicians, who content themselves with doctoring the effects. while the original disease undermines the system.

 If you feel that your kidneys are the cause of your sickness or run down condition, commence taking Dr. Kill mer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine, because as soon as your kidneys begin to improve they will help all the other organs to health,
