Narcotic Joints Right at the
Capitol, Blease Charges

PooTLEG whiskey is bad enough for the American
- people It's train of evils is appalling. Peddling Of
narcotics is beyond all doubt the foulest crime imaginable
The terrible results Of dope among people barely
realized by normal, healthy citizens
Senator Bease of South Carolina makes the open charge
the Senate that four narcotic joints exist within stones
throw of the Capitol but he quoted refusing give
whatever facts he has to Federal local authorities and
puts the matter up to officials.
Public opinion does support prohibition but it does
support enforcement of annarcotc laws Juries will convict
offenders because know that there greater
scourge to humanity than the increasing Of illicit DOPE
the suppression of which engaging the serious
tion of all civilized nations.
The South Carolina Senator whatever may his motives

backed by the slightest bit Of useful information that
formation ought to be given to Federal local authorities
should have been given prior to the making of charges
that the guilty might have been arrested of getting
advance notice that would them elsewhere or
to temporarily operations
This however the time for official resentment of the
methods employed by Senator Blease the time for
Jealous work the part of all officia-work that will not

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch.

EczEMA is very common skin
A~ affection. In fact, it is SO
common that the layman often
jumps to the conclusion that any
skin rash he may have must be
eczema, and consequently he does
not receive the proper treatment
for it. There are many, many skin
disorders, however.
Some are caused by other dis
eased conditions of the vital organs
of the body, others are caused by
microbes In the skin itself, still
others are nutritional disturbances,
etc.
In all skin diseases it might be
borne in mind that local treat.
ment is not sufficient.
That Is, it does not do merely
to smear an ointment or cold
cream on the rash.
When the body is healthy the
skin is healthy as well. There
fore, If the skin is sick the body
must be toned up and made
healthy if permanent relief from
any skin trouble is to be hoped
for. Eczema is no exception to
these rules. The condition may
come, apparently, from different
causes and the treatment depends
on these causes.
Often the basic cause is general
body toxicity. In other words,
the bowels are sluggish or the kid
neys. 1t must be added, however
that the bowels may be active and
the system toxic for all that. Some
times, through digestive disturban-
ces, more poisons are formed than
the body can eliminate.
Sometimes eczematous rashes
occur because of disturbances OF
the nervous system.
A mere rest or change such as
one gets on vacation Is not al
ways sufficient to get the nerves
back into normal shape. In GER
tain hlgh-strung. nervous states
special Psychological methods
must he employed.
Other causes OF eczema seem
to be produced by external causes
only. usually irritations OF some
variety or other.
The presence Of germs on the
skin may also be a factor.
The rash of eczema Is red. 1t
Is irregular and may spread. Often
it Is scaly and even may form
crusts. 1t itches intensely.
Sometimes eczema appears in
different parts Of the body.
Often it is a most stubborn af-
fection and may last for months
and even years.
1t has been noted that certain
persons who seem particularly
susceptible to eczema are likewise
susceptible to certain food poisons.
In other words. such individuals
get a poisonous reaction from
pork or Strawberries or what
ever. even If the food supply be
perfectly clean and fresh.
In all cases of eczema the diet
must be Investigated. Often it is
sugars and starchy foods that are
to blame. Sometimes it is salt
that is the disturbing factor.
After middle life the urine
should be examined in all cases.
The kidneys may be at fault.
Treatment with glands" may
help. This, however, must be
carefully studied. Wet dressings
in the pus-forming cases are ad-
visable. For this boric acid Is
good. The salve OF boric acid is
helpful.
Especially in stubborn cases the
use of light treatment often sue
ceeds where everything else has
failed.

Europe can't tell her how he is
going to get back that $50 he lent

of weakness.
One reason why man always
hates to answer woman's ques-

monition that he Is going to have
an awfully hard time living up to
his own answers.

it. He kept one eye on the Ten

Lesseps, of Suez Canal fame, was
making his tragic attempt to cut
through the Panama Isthmus.
The city of Panama is extremely
interesting. 1t Is the capital of
the republic. One OF Its most
interesting buildings Is the cathe-
dral which was built by a negro
who became Bishop of Panama.
It took this good bishop 2s years
to finance and build the cathedral.
Although now rather dingy, one
can tell that the church was a
marvel for it's day. The two
towers are encased in mother-of-
pearl.
The Malecon, or sea wall, is
the favorite promenade, and 1t
Is from here that one-if ne be
an early riser-may see the sun
come up from out of the Pacific.
Four or five miles from the
present City of Panama, which
incidentally has been vastly mod
ernized in the last few years, are
the ruins of the old City of
Panama, which was sacked and
burned by the bucaneer, Henry
Morgan, in 1871. Rumor has it
that when Morgan left Panama

Z PCT. MALT TONIC
TABOOED BY DORIAN.
Milwaukee Brewers, Ordered
to Discontinue Manufacture,
Complain of Huge Losses.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MILWAUKEE. July 13-James M.
Doran, United States prohibition COM
missioner, has ordered Milwaukee brew
ers to discontinue at once the manufac-
ture of "l2 per cent" malt tonics. Brew
ers spoke of the order today as the most
severe blow to the industry since passage
OF the eighteenth amendment.
The order, delivered through E. c.
Yellowley prohibition enforcement
chief at Chicago, stated that effective
Immediately malt tonics must contain
minimum of ID per cent solids de-
rived from malt and not more than ,
per cent alcohol by volume.
Brewers Face Losses.
The Is per cent product, the order
decreed. must be bottled and distributed
under the same restrictions as now
govern the 10 per cent" All such
tonic made on or before July IL may
be marketed, but manufacture must
cease at once. Brewers said this
meant the loss of thousands of dallars
through destruction of tonic now in
process OF manufacture and the viz
tually junking OF machinery used in
its manufacture.
It was pointed out by some brewers
that a Nation wide advertising cam
paign has just ended and that the
breweries we're just beginning to proht
from it.
Should the order force the ADAM
Comment of manufacture OF the malt
tonic it was estimated Milwaukee would
lose an industry earning more than
$2,000,000 annually.
l8 Per Cent Tonic Held Unpopular.
Manufacturers declared it would be
next to impossible to make popular the
l8 per cent tonic permitted under the
order, and they predicted the brew
would disappear from the market.
The brewers, although protesting
against the order, early today had an
nounced no plan OF fighting it. Man
ufacture was at standstill and prep
arations were being made to comply
with other provisions OF the order.
