LARGE FORCE URGED
IN ANTELOPE WAR
Number of Arrests Increased
IS Per Cent In 1921-22
Over Previous Year.
ASK CLOSE COOPERATION
Additional Field Agents
Needed to Enforce Law,
Says Acting Chief Jones.


Citing a startling increase in drug
law violations the narcotic division
Of the Treasury yesterday appealed
to Secretary Andrew w. Mellon for
a larger force Of field agents to ade.
quately enforce the law.
During the fiscal year 1929
the number Of arrests for the illegal
use and sale OF drugs increased IS
per cent over the figures 1or the
previous fiscal year. Mr.. Mellon
was told in the drug bureau report,
1.-THE number Of convictions in the
same period increased 100 per
cent"
\ Closer cooperation between the
operation between the customs serv.
ice and the narcotic unit OF the
Treasury was urged as an essential
step by Col. James e. Jones, acting
chief Of the prohibition bureau,
which also has charge Of the drug
law enforcement.

THE force of men engaged in this:
work is altogether too small to do
the job well. In most Of the States
we have only one or two men, who
are expected to cover that Stat

A Dog and the Asthma Cure.

A medical man reports that he was
q martyr to asthma for twenty-five
years. but found cure at last in
the shape OF the hair of the dog.
When he was six years old he had
difficulty in breathing, which was at
tributed to large tonsils and adenoids.
These were removed, without any ef-
feet on the trouble; then they COM
cluded the child had asthma from
which he suffered frequently recur-
ring attacks, which robbed him of
many nights sleep; often he was un-
able to go to bed at all, but was
forced to spend the night in a chair
Various asthma inhalations, smokes
and the like afforded slight relief at
times. But the doctor declares he ex-
perienced his first relief when he WIS.,
tied Atlantic City, having no trouble
the whole time he was there. As soon
as he returned home the old asthma
started right up again. Don't run
right off to Atlantic City if you have
asthma. There's more to this tale, as
we shall see. The Atlantic City ex-
perience. was repeated again and
again, and the doctors physicians
ascribed the Atlantic City relief TO
the climate.
In 1918 he moved to a new resi-
dence in Washington; for two years
afterward he remained entirely free
from the old asthma. Change of cli-
mate, what? In 1915, however, the
asthma returned right there in the
same climate. It was as bad as ever.

Love of Freedom.

For we. brethren. were called for
freedom.-Gal., 5.13.
Nothing is more difficult to preserve
than the true love of freedom in a
free country.
Being habituated to il. men cease
to consider by what sacrifices it was
obtained and by what precautions
and safeguards it must be- defended.
We need also to have clearer con-
ception of what real freedom is.
1t Is not a state Of things in which
every man does exactly and only
what he likes.
It is rather a state of mind. in which
men like to do what they can, what
they may and what they ought.
To enjoy 1t a man must have some
knowledge of his natural powers, his
civil privileges and his moral duties.
BY knowing and accepting these he
becomes free to realize his best self
as q member of mankind.
Liberty itself Is the great lesson.
And in learning it we need teachers
the wise, the just, the free of all
ages.
Most of all, we need the help of re-
ligion, by which alone the founda-
tions of the state are laid in right
eousness and democracy is saved from
its own suicidal tendencies.s
