SENATE INQUIRY.
INTO DRUGS
URGED

NEW YORK, Nov. % U.S9.-
Efforts 20 have senatorial inves-
tigation into world manufacture of
narcotics were begun yesterday at
the second annual conference by
the committees of the World Con-
the international Narcotic Educa-
ton Association in session in the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
AS a result fo resolution adopted,
it is probable the Senate will be
called on to start a check on mar
cotic manufacture all through the
civilized world. The Senate will be
asked to ascertain whether foreign
nations are respecting limitations on
such manufacture as were imposed
by treaties signed at The Hague in
1912 and at the Geneva convintion
of 1925.
Pacts Declared Ignored
BY the terms of these pacts the
signatory nations agreed to re-
strict narcotic production to the
minimum necessary for medicinal
needs. According to Capt. Rich
n1ond p. Hobson, head of the or.
ganization, little or no attention
has been paid recently to the terms
of these compacts.
The result has been, 1t is said,
that some of the signatory nations
have been making hundreds of times
IL e amount of narcotics needed for
legitimate trade, and the world Is
being flooded with the illicit
product.
A committee was named to in.
vestigate expediency of demand
ing the senatorial quiz. It's mem
bers are Senator Reed Smoot. of
Utah: Col. d w. Maccormick. for
merly financial adviser to the Per.
sian government, and Godfrey

Legislation FrameI
At the sessions steps were taken
toward perfection of the model nar-
cotics regulatory measure that is
to be presented to all State
legislatures which will convene this
winter. The measure will stiffen
penalties for narcotic violations and
provide for better disqualification
features in reclamation of addicts.
DIR. Bertram Bell, founder of the
Stay-Wen Foundation. started dis
cussion by his assertion the "epi-
demic" of opera tions for removal
of tonsils was a contributing factor
in the increasing Illicit use of mar.
cotics.

And your enjoyment of Postum doesn't
end at the table. There are no regrets in
this drink For Postum is made of roasted

artificial stimulant in it. Nothing to keep
you awake, to harass nerves and heart, to
cause headaches and indigestion. as caf-

Try Postum, in place of caffein bever-

whether you ever want to go back to

Order Instant Postum from your

The advantages of drinking Postum
are many. Postum will not cause nervous

in using this drink is that, no matter how
often you indulge, it will not give you that
muddy. yellow complexion that is the
result of an overindulgence in caffein
beverages.
