THIRSTY ONES IN INDIANA BEGIN BUYING PAREGORIC

Muncje, Ind., May B.—Local druggists have been asked by the police to report all sales of paregoric. The officials have been notified that an unusual amount of the drug has been sold in this city since the state became dry and are working on the theory that the drug is being bought because of the amount of alcohol and other ingredients. Druggists say there are a number of persons here addicted to its use, and one of the schemes they follow is to buy small quantities at different stores, so no one purchase is in sufficient quantity to attract attention.
