I • 1 •FRIDAY ENLENING, HAJtRJHBTTRQ TEI-EGIOLPH ' ' JUNE 13, 1919. Increased twice as fast as the growth In population. Imports of cocoa ' leaves, from which cocaine la made, i also have grown steadily. i "It has been stated that about 90 i per cent, of the amount of these c dtugs entered for consumption Is i used for other than medical pur- i poses," the report said. "While this statement is probably extreme, a comparison of the per capita con sumption in this country with that of other countries indicates that this country consumes from 13 to 72 times as much opium per capita as other countries." Enough opium is consumed in the [< United States every year, the report | stated, to give every man. woman i and child 36 doses. A minimum es-|' timate of the value of habit forming j 1 drugs used was given as 320,000,000 ] most of which is paid by the victims who suffer tortures without their narcotic and are ready to go any length to obtain a supply. Statistics obtained by the commit tee naturally dealt only with the 1 legitimate trattic in drugs. "In addition, there is the so-called ■underground' traffic In these drugs," the report continued, "which Is esti mated to be equal in magnitude to that carried on through legitimate channels. This trade is In the hunds of the so-called 'dope peddlers,' who appear to have a national organiza tion for procuring and disposing of their supplies. For the most part It Is thought that they obtain their supplies by smuggling them from Canada or Mexico. Smuggling is al so practiced to a considerable extent on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts."

NATION'S HEALTH TO BE DISCUSSED National Tuberculosis Meet ing Will Open To morrow Atlantic City, N. J., June 13. Plans for a countrywide program for the protection of the nation's health during the reconstruction era will be discussed by government experts and health authorities from every State in the Union at the an j nual meeting of the National Tuber | culosis Association which opens | here Saturday, June 14. The ses [ s.one will continue until June 17. Fifteen hundred State and local voluntary antituberculosis organtza- I tions, which have led the fight against the disease in the past ten years; will be represented by dele gates, who will make a strong plea for further co-operation on the part of the government in their cam paign. As a result of their representa tions, based on war-time revelations, they hope that a division of tuber culosis will be created in the United States Public Health Serivee. New truths about tuberculosis learned during the war will be pre sented by army and medical men who fought the disease both over seas and in the military hospitals here. Among those who will address the meetings are: Dr. Livingston Karrund, director general American I Red Cross; Colonel George E. Busli nell, of the Surgeon General's of fice: John R. Commons. Professor of 1 Economics, University of Wiscon sin; Dr. Victor C. Vaughn, dean of the Medical School University of [ Michigan, and Dr. David R.

Trade Confidence ; Returning in England lAMukni, June 13.—The British government still finds it necessary to "nurse the baby" of trade, even if big profits have to be put into the "bottle," Sir Auckland Geddes, act ing president of the Board of Trade, told a deputation of Liberals who called on him to urge that the pres ent restrictions on imports and ex ports were hampering business in this country and preventing British merchants from competing on eqaul terms with Americans in neutral countries. Sir Auckland admitted that profits of sevqral hundred per cent, were being made in wool, but he was of the opinion that the import restric tions must he kept on despite needs of the consumer and the consuming industries. He said he thought much unemployment would be caused it the restrictions were to be lifted suddenly. Trade confidence was just beginning to return, he argued. □iiMFnnn BAKING POWDER LOHE POUWU II7T| T 1 j I PTOI 0n ma^es y° ur cakes and hot breads lighter, of finer texture and delicious flavor, but at a reasonable cost and nothing should be done to ham per it. 5
