There is one simple yet inexpen.
sive way to reduce Inflammation Of

Ask any first class druggist for
an original two-ounce bottle OF
Moone's Emerald Oil (full strength,

place. II is such a highly concen-
trated preparation that two ounces
lasts a long time and furthermore
il one bottle of Emerald Oil does not
give you complete satisfaction you
can have your money refunded.
Special note: People who want to
reduce swollen or varicose veins
should get a bottle Of MOOne's EN-.
eraId OIL at once. Applied night and
morning as directed they will
quickly notice an improvement
which will continue until the veins
and punches are reduced to nc~mal.

Senator Copeland 3D., Of New York
declared yesterday. ~
Senator Copeland. former health
commissioner Of New York city,
strongly urged adoption OF the reso-
luton calling for joint congress
sional survey of the traffic In mar
cotic drugs.
Danger Unrealized
'aThe people do not realize fully
the 1anger of the drug evil, said
Copeland. II believe the investiga-
tion will have great beneficial re-
suits"
Further support also was pledged
to the resolution yesterday.
In a letter TO Representative La
Qua rdia R). of New York. who, with
Senator wheeler Cd. of Montana, is
sponsoring the inquiry. Major s. w.
Brewster, warden of district prisons
of New York. declared the survey

actual conditions in the narcotic

Copeland pointed to the present
difficulties in enforcing the anti
smuggling laws because of the re.
sourcefuIness of the dope rings and
the ease with which drugs can be
concealed.
A serious problem, he said. Is the
influx of dope from Mexico.

a light woolen suit can cross the
border. dip his suit into water satu'
rated with morphine, dry It and re-
turn to the United States" explained
Copeland.

"once on this side unmoIested. he
can soak his suit again and dissolve
the dope. Thus he has a supply to
sell to addicts. Dope also is brought
across In automobile tires and in
Sits in postal cards.
with an apparently unending
supply reaching the country. it is
imperative that we take steps with
the rest of the world to stop the

If the investigation does nothing
