DR. DAVIS SOUNDS IVARNING TO PREVENT INFLUX OF HECHES AFTER WAR ENDS

Dr. T. Henry DavU, for 35 years president of the state board of health, today announced his advocacy of a cabinet . position for medicine and sounded a warning against the influx of Imbeciles from Europe at the termination of the war, requiring at that time, he said, the greatest skill and vigor on the part of the United States to keep out the unfit Dr. Davis's statements are supplemental to an article by him on "The Suppression and Control of Degeneracy," which appeared in the last issue of The Journal of the Indiana State Medical Association. He mentioned his plan fqr placing a doctor in the cabinet at that time, and suggested that Indiana take the initiative in an agitation by presenting the alarming facts before Congress. ' Cream Killed Off. "The cream of Europe Is being kitted off,' declared Dr. Davis. "What can we expect after the war? There will be an exodus of the physically weak and the mentally deficient to United States. They win be the citizens who fear a repititlon of the war and in cowardice will shrink to this country. . "When President Wilson entered the White House he found this question of a cabinet position for medicine in waiting for his advocacy," said Dr. Davis. "He has striven to manage the Mexican muddle, and thus far has steered

the ship of State with skin during the war of nations, but In this affair of a cabinet position for medicine and its resultant, a vital issue in this nation, he has turned away his face. This is a matter of regret bat not discouragement, for the voice of the people will prevail. , Davis Cites Data. After mentioning, the fact that there is one feeble minded person to every 500 citizens of the United States and declaring that in Indiana, 90 per cent of the 5,700 feeble minded are so by inheritance, Dr. Davis said, advocating eugenic laws: "There are two self-evident causes at work that are a menace to this nation. Birth of defectives and Immigration. As to the former, 'a perfect fruit cannot proceed from defective seed.' 'Susceptibility to 'a , neurotic taint, epilepsy, insanity, hysteria, alcoholism, and other well-known conditions are transmitted.' But you are familiar with the results of heridity.' Costs Million Yearly. "Dr. Smith, superintendent of the Eastern Indiana Asylum, states that the care of the insane alone in Indiana is $1,250,000 a year, which is one half the expense for the charities and care of defectives. "This question of increasing degeneracy can alone be controlled except by a general assent to the require

ments of eugenic law; $100,000,000 an

nually Is the price of neglect. Unless

preventive measures are put in suc

cessful operation to control the Increase of defectives, whether it be call

ed eugenics or some less pretentious name, ultimate disintegration of so ciety is more than probable. 'Eugenics at present is an assemblage of cold

scientific statements without vitality.'

It requires the universal demand of

the people to breathe into the spirit

of life and galvanize it to action. To the medical profession must be put the

question for solution.

"As foreshadowed, an additional

menace to the country results from

the elasticity of the Immigration laws,

at present presenting a medical farce. America is the dumping ground for the refuse of Europe. , . 'This European war, with its perils, privations and nervous shocks, will set back civilization 100 years, and

America, through the rush of immigra

tion, win bear an unequal share of Its

untoward results. With no cheek to

these evils, what will be the measure of our calamity? If this is the seed to be sown in America, , 'What will the harvest be?' Self-preservation demands radical amendments to the immigration laws and absolute enforcement. Both can best be accomplished by a medical man in the cabinet."

THE GOLD OF THE GODS

BY ARTHUR B. REEVE

(A Mystery of the Incas Solved by Craig Kennedy, Scientific Detective)

One could not help becoming Infected by Whitney's enthusiasm. Kennedy was following him closely, while a frown of disapproval spread over Lockwood's face. "Then you know the secret of the hiding-place of the treasure?" queried Kennedy abruptly. Whitney shook his head in the negative. "It is my Idea that we dont have to know It," he answered. "With the hints that we have collected from the natives, I think we can locate it with the expenditure of comparatively little time and money. Senor Mendoza has obtained the concession from the government to hunt for it on a larpe' scale in the big mounds about ruxlllo. We know it is there. Is not that enough?" If it had been any one less than Whitney, we should probably have said it was not. But it took more than that to deny anything he asserted. Lockwood's fare was a study. I cannot say that it betrayed anything except disapproval of the mere discussion of the subject. In fact, it left me in doubt as to whether Whitney himself might not have been bluffing, in the certainty of finding the treasure perhaps had already the secret he denied having and was preparing to rover it up by stumbling on it, apparently, In some other way. I recognized In Stuart Whitney as smooth nn individual as ever we had encountered. His was all the sincerity of a crook. Yet he contrived to leave the whole matter in doubt. Perhaps in this case he actually knew what he was talking about The telephone rang and Lockwood answered it. Though he did not mention her name, I knew from his very tone and manner that it was Senorita de Mendoza who was calling up. Evidently his continued absence had worried her. "There's absolutely nothing to worry about," we heard him say. "Nothing has changed. I shall be up to see you as soon as I can get away from the office." There was an air of restraint about Lockwood's remarks, not as though he were keeping anything from the Senorita, but as though he were reluctant for us to overhear anything about his affairs. Lockwood had been smoking, ' too, and he added the stubs of his cigarettes to the pile in the ash-tray on Whitners desk. . Once I saw Craig cast a quick glance at the tray, and I understood that in. some way he was anxious to have a chance to investigate those cigarettes. "You saw the dagger which Norton brought back, did you not?" asked Kennedy of Whitney.

"Only as I saw the rest of the stuff after it was unpacked," he replied easily. "He brought back a great many interesting objects on this last trip." It was apparent that whether he actually knew anything about the secret of the Inca dagger or not, Whitney was not to be trapped into betraying it. I had an idea that Lockwood was Interested in knowing that fact, too. At any rate, one could not be sure whether these two were perfectly frank with each other, or were playing a game of high stakes between themselves. Lockwood seemed eager to get away and, with a hasty glance at his watch, rose. ...... "If you wish to find me, I shall be with Senorita de Mendoza," he said, taking his hat and stick, and bowing to us. Whitney rose and accompanied him to the door in the outer office, his arm on his shoulder, conversing in a low tone that was inaudible to us. No sooner, however, had the two passed through the door, with their backs toward us than Kennedy reached over quickly and swept the contents of the ash-tray, cigarette stnbs, ashes and an, into an empty envelope which was lying with some papers. Then he sealed it and shoved it into his pocket, with a sidelong glance of satisfaction at me. "Evidently Mr. Lockwood and the Senorita are on intimate terms," haz

arded Kennedy, as Whitney rejoined us. "Poor little girl," soliloquized the promoter. "Yes, indeed. And Lockwood is a lucky dog, too. Such eyes, such a figure did you ever see a more beautiful woman?" -(To be Continued)

This Simple Laxative A Household Necessity

COMB SAGE TEA IN FADED OR GRAY HAIR

Look Young! Common Garden Sage and Sulphur Darkens So Naturally Nobody Can Tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beautifully darkened, glossy and attractive with a brew ol Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, all ready to use, for about 50 cents. . This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. 1 A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful. This preparation is a delight

ful toilet requisite. It is not intended!

Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Should Have a Place in Every Home. , Constipation, or inaction of the bowels, a condition that nearly everyone experiences with more or less frequency, is the direct eause of much disease. " . When the bowels become clogged with refuse from the stomach, foul gases and poisons are generated, and unless the congestion is quickly relieved the system becomes weakened and most susceptible to attack. Various remedies to relieve constipation are prescribed, but many of these contain cathartic or purgative agents that are harsh and violent in their action and shock the system. The most effective remedy is the combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that is sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. The Hon. John D. Keister of Brandywine, W. Va., who has represented his district In the State Legislature for six yeare, writes that he uses Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and finds it a splendid laxative, easy to take and mild, yet positive, in its action, and that it should be in every household for use when needed. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists in all parts of the United States and costs only fifty cents a bottle. It contains no opiate or narcotic drug, does not gripe, and is recommended as a family laxative, mild enough for the tiniest babe, yet suffic-

iently powerful to act easily on the strongest constitution. To avoid imitations and ineffective substitutes be sure to get Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. See that a facsimile of Dr. Caldwell's signature and his portrait appear on the yellow carton in which the bottle is packed, A trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 455 Washington St., Monticello, Illinois.. . ,
