Then this advertisement is for you.
' Wo believe that to buy a RELIANCE Is the most sensible watch
purchase a man can make at this time.
And hero Is why. It Is so handsome, so smart In appearance, so
gracefully designed that you get the satisfaction which comes from
the ownership of beautiful things. Correct In prooportlon, it is the
thliiucMt IG-sizo, 7-Jewcl watch made In America.
It la accurate. Sovcn-jeweled, bridge-model, like the very highest
priced watches made, It comes to you only after it has run the
gauntlet of the "G-posltlon tests" (tested two days in each of six
positions).
It is remarkably low In price. A 7-jewel, bridged-model watch for
$8.00! The case at that price Is of nickel. For $3.50 more, you can
have a gold-filled case any one of the six designs. At Ingersoll
dealers.

"POISONING" THE CHINESE
While trying to afford full pro
tection to their own citizens, this
country, Great Britain, and Japan
are shipping tons of opium to China,
and engaging, it is charged by the
International Reform Bureau, in the
"greatest poisoning case in the his
tory of crime." For generations
opium has been China's curse, but in
a happy hour of realization she
passed laws prohibiting the growth

channels copies of the laws in their
.ncnnnfivn nmintriGS which prohibit
tho exportation of derivatives of
opium. "Having recently seen the
growing trade that enters China from
our western nations, and . having
talked with leaders of the Christian
faith," writes A. B. Parson to The
Living Church (Episcopal)-, "I feel
that this matter has a very close
bearing on Chinese welfare. It is
strange that after China herself with
one blow did away with the grow
ing of tho poppy and the trade opium,
it was left for tho United States
and Great Britain to revive this
iniquitous traffic." Restriction of
the traffic, says The Continent
(Presbyterian), voicing a general
opiniqn, "is of immed ate importance
as a hindrance to the contemptible
Japanese exploitation of China's in
creasing morphin habit, for much of
tho drug sold so lavishly by Japan
ese dealers in China is drawn from
the United States or is bought in
Britain and shipped by way of the
United States. . . . Every busi
ness which, like the liquor business,
makes its money by killing bodies
and souls of men and women made
in God's image is fated to be wiped
out by the social justice of the Amer
ican ..citizenship." Two; questions,
says The Baptist, are involved in the
stoppage of the traffic:
"Tho first is a business matter.
Newspapers on the Pacific coast are
stating that the preservation of our
commerce with China is directly in
volved. There is also a moral ques
tion. The very life of China is threat
ened by this traffic, which has been
forced upon her by Japan, the United
States and Great Britain. While in
America there are some 4,000,000
drug addicts, there are in China
more than 60,000,000
"The United States, for it own
sake, must get heartily and effective
ly into this antinarcotics camapign.
Even more should it play fair with
China. It will be to our everlasting
disgrace if Christian nations either
themselves promote, or allow other
nations to foster, such a tremendous
evil."
Testifying before the subcommit
tee of the House Ways and Means
Committee, William F. McKibben
secretary of the China Club in Seat
tle, said, according press report,
that Japan is securing these drugs
for distribution in China as Ameri
can products, and that because of
