The radical recovery Of commodity
prices from August 1891 20 date, mas
brought general business above aver
age and is the foundation for the
reasoning Of a gaod many who have
predicted increasing prices through

Stay off the damp ground, avoid

Rheumatism is caused by poison

function of the kidneys to filter

skin pores are closed, thus forcing
the kidneys to do double work:
they become weak and sluggish and

Bank Notes
BY international News Service.


CHERBOURG. France, Feb.
24.-"Valid. two years after the
close of hostilities," read two
bank notes, one for $50 and the
other for 500, presented by a
sailor from the oil ship Dor
dogne to the proprietor of a
little cafe here.
GOOD enough" commented
the proprietor, and he counted
out for the sailor approximately.
5000 francs.
Next day the proprietor ex-
amined the notes more carefully.
To his surprise he. discovered
he had COMPOUNDED the Ameri-
can civil war with the great
war and the notes were Con-
federate bank notes.
The Dordogne had departed
from Cherbourg, so the COM
missaire of police set out in
pursuit of her in small boat
and overlook her.
The sailor explained the notes
had been given to him at Port
Arthur. Tex, for smuggling
liquor and willingly gave up the
francs. He. too, had believed
the mention of hostilities re-
ferred to the great war.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23.-Under

couple Justified setting up house
keeping with the bridegroom's in
come only $40 week?
In other words, can little Dan
Cupid string his bow with such a
thong and make go. Of it?
How would a young couple go
about it--what sacrifices would they
have to Make. separately and to-
gether-to assure their "love bark"
could keep afloat under the sails Of
$20-a-week bill?
Men and women, prominent in
civic, social welfare, financial and
industrial circles in Los Angeles,
have discussed the subject pro
and con, and, while not unanimous,
it seems that in most cases the
opinion is that for an income on
which to be married and live hap.
PLY the amount is too small.
Most of those interviewed were
emphatic in their opinion one way
or the other. Between the ex-
tremes were some who were doubt
full.
Woman Says "Yes."
Among those who believe that a
Los Angeles couple can live and be
happy on $40 a week is Mrs. J. B.
Stearns, past president Of the Wom-
EMS City Club, who has taken an

Some of those who expressed the
belief that it can be done modified
their statements by saying it all
hinged on whether the couple knew
how to "manage"-that is, purchase
their necessities and how to dis
criminate between necessities and
luxuries.
Without any hesitation the Secur-

his wife can weather the storms of

SMUGGLING IS
/ CARRIED ON IN
| SCIENTIFIC WAY
Dry Enforcement Blamed
for Increased Contra
band Practice.
u. S. LOSES MILLIONS
Rum Runners Smuggle Mar
cotics and Silks as Well
as Liquor,

Washington, ID. C., Feb. 10.--Reports
from special agents of the Treasury De-
partment show there has been an enor-
NOUS increase in smuggling and, while
detailed figures are not available, it is
declared the United States is being de-
frauded Of millions of dollars in rev.
enue by this Illicit trade. 1t has as
eumed such alarming proportions that
q conference of customs officials is to
be held soon TO determine what addi-
tional means, if any, should be adopted
to put a stop TO this business.
Prohibition enforcement is given as
the chief cause for the increase in
smuggling. Rum runners, who for sew
bral years have been practicing their
nefarious trade at various places along
the shores and borders of the United
8tates, are not content with their re-
turns from this business, enormous
slough they are, and many of the more
daring ones have added side lines of
silks, narcotics, and other products, the
importation of which is either prohibit
ed or which carry high protective du-
ties.
Suffering U. s. Has Company.
But the United States is not the only
sufferer from this trade, for rum run
ners along the Canadian border, and
probably along the Rio Grande as well,
are not content to go back empty hand
ed. They carry cargoes both ways and
thus have established more or less thriv-
ing and profitable businesses on both
sides of the international boundaries.
As numerous and pestiferous as rum
runners on land have become, however,
their number is small compared with
those operating along the sea coasts.
There. in many sections. it has become
highly organized business and while
the attention of the country has been at
tracted TO the liquor boats riding Mt
ase out beyond the three-mile limit in
the vicinity of New York those in a
position to know assert this liquor
smuggling represents but a small per-
centage of the total All along the At
1antic coast, from New York to Florida.
there are hundreds Of little bays and cs-
tuaries into which swift power boats
can dart. leave their cargoes at ap-
pointed places and dash back to sea TO
be lifted up'onto the deck Of the mother
boat
From Florida all along the Gulf Coast
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-02-11

the situation is even more ideal, for this
section, for the most part, is more low
lying and with even a sparSer popula-
ton than along the Atlantic coast.
There, according 10 reports filed with
the customs division of the Treasury
Department, the smugglers have called
modern science to their aid. The cargo
carrying ships are equipped with wire
less and their cOnfederates on the land
have their individual receiving stations.
The ship out in the gulf radios it's loCa-
ton by some pre-arranged code, or
where it will be at a given time. The
little boats dart ont, load up with con-
traband and ere back up some bayou
making deliveries before the customs Of
Ulcers can TlOre than get started.
Government officials frankly admit
they are almost at their wits end. They
point out that the enormous profits de-
rived through smuggling of liquor and
drugs has attracted TO this business the
most daring among the lawless. One
successful venture means something
akin to affluence for all prOfit-sharing
members of the band and the highest
wages for those they employ. The
chance of capture is declared to be only
about one in fifteen. even around New
York and considerably less than this in
the sparsely settled sections, so that re.
crults are always to be found.
