GOVERNMENT HAS WHIP HAND A federal law, enacted last year, which goes Into effect today, will effectively atop the cocaine and opium traffic, It. was declared yes terday afternoon at the office of the internal revenue department in the federal building. So stringent is the new law that It practically prohibits the use in any manner whatever even by medical men. These may use drugs In small quantities, but only under closest government supervision. It prac tically covers every possible loophole through which drug fiends have been obtaining their coveted supplies for the last few years, and it duplicates nearly every strong point in the bill now being considered by the Ne braska legislature. An appropriation of 1150,000 to enforce the new drug law and a penalty of $2,0" fin and five years In prison for anyone violating; any of the drastic clauses la expected to relieve every evil of drug traffic. Provisions of Art. The law provldre that every person whi dealt In, manufactures or fives away cocaine, cocoa leaves, opium or any of the derivative therefrom must pay a spe cial tax; must require a special prescription- from every customer written on blanks supplied only by the revenue of fice, and must account to the department for every (rain of drug distributed In any manner. This Includes physli lans. dentists, sur geons, veterinarians and druggists, and It applies not oiUy In the I'nltcd States, but In every land Where Old Glory Is supreme. The Omaha police have been supplied with' copies of the new law and nave teen asked by tho government authorities to be prepared to assist In stamping out the evil.; If any violations of the ne.v "aw are found tomorrow, arrests will follow Immediately. Manply Saat Off. In no manner can th lnv-torste users of cocaine, opium or any other similar ' drugs obtain their supplies now. When ever a person Is. found under the Influence of any drug, ha will be arrested and held for government Investigation. A federal law-passed In 1900. covering the dope traffic, failed In Its purpose In many respects, and while the new law does, not repeal the old one, It covers many points not taken up by It." "This taw will be a great help to us," declared Captain of Police lleltflold last night. "Around Christmas tlmo, for In stance, Omaha, was full of dope-fleads who were carrying on all kinds of petty thievery. When w finally rounded up every known drug-fiend and sent them to Jail for forty-five days, we find that the variety of crime usually laid to the doors of the ftenda has almost entirely (Jlstpared. i ".was dreading the day when that forty-five-day sentence would expire, but wltii, this new law going Into effect and killing oft all chance for them to obtain their drugs, I Can sae. where, U will be only' a matter of time before, we are through with them entirely."

Fort Dardanus, which the ships at tacked Friday after the entrance to the straits had been swept of mines, Is not far from the narrows, and It is probable that the big, and more Important attack has begun by this time. Reports from neutral Halkan states say that the residents of the islands In the sea of Marmora have been ordered to evacuate their homes snd that an Im perial train Is waiting to take the Sultan to Asia Minor.

Kittman, Government Chemiit, Givei His Diicovery to the Nation. ANOTHER DISCOVERY, . ALSO WASHINGTON. Feb. 28. Two discoveries, both of vast Importance to American industries and one re garded also as a priceless military asset, were announced today by Sec retary Lane of the Interior repay ment. They are chemical processes, de veloped after years of research hy Dr. Walter F. Rlttman, chemical engineer of the bureau of mines. One Is expected to enable oil refiners to incrase thlr output ot gasoline by 200 per cent; the other makes pos sible the production from, crude petroleum of toluol, and benzol, bases for dyed and high explosives, for which In the past, the United States and the rest of the world have depended almost exclusively upon Germany. Dedicated to People. Dr. Rlttman has npplled for patents to prevent the possibility of any mo nopoly in their use and Will dedicate them to the American people. "These processes." Said Secretary Lan today, "are fraught with the utmost Im portance. The Standard Oil company has had a big advantage over the Independ ents In production of gasoline, having a patened process obtaining .three times tha amount of gasoline from a given quantity of petroleum the independents now obtain. Independenta producers, aa a whole, have pever been able even to approach these results. Now the federal government, through tha efforts of Dr. Rlttman proposes to make free for the uao of all, . a pro cess confidently expected to increase their yields of gasoline fully 300 per cent and perhaps more.' Dr. . Rlttman claims his process is . safer. , simpler and more economical.. . These are economic factors of great Importance. ; ','Wlth a ateadily Iricraasing demand tor gasoline for automobiles, motor boat and engines, this fortunate discovery comes at tho proper time.. It Is but two years ago that the automobile industry fearful the supply of gasoline might not be adequate for Its rapidly expanding business, offered (100,000 prise for a sub stitute that would cost less than gaso line. This new process adds to the hop that In spite of the wonderful growth in ths use of gasoline, there may not be any shortago In the future. I am led to believe it will not only be of In esti mable value to refiners commanding but limited capital, as well aa those, of wealth, but also to the hundreds of thou sands of users ot cnuollne. When It Is realized the gasoline Industry each year'a yields 1100. 000,000 to 1130,000,000. ths Importance of this discovery la seen.

This is said to be the first time In church history that Catholics and Prot estsnts have loined in signing a common letter addressed to the churches. Tho Peace union's letter Is signed by Car dinal Gibbons of Baltimore, and Arch bishop Glennon of Pt. Louis. The presi dent of the union Is the Right Rev. David II. Oreer.

It was announced that Mr. Carnegie had made It an endowment of $2,000,000, Its aim be"lng the furtherance of the cause of International peace through the united efforts of all religious bodies. Twenty nine prominent clergymen and churchmen, representing all denominations. Including Jewish organ icatlonr, were appointed trustees. It Is these men who have signed the message In question. Follow ing are some of th striking paragraphs In th message: Partisanship Is adding fuel to fires of passion which alrradv are too hot. Cler gymen should allav prejudice, not In tensify it. (In this calamitous hour, denunciation of either aide assumes a superhuman knowledge of complex pol icies and purposes, imperils the influence of our government In promoting peace, aggravates a quarrel which we should help abate, creates dissensions among our own people, infl.vmoa a war spirit in America, and glvea force to the criticism that th church lias abdicated its eacred functions as the maker of peace and concord. Looking; for' War Spirit. , Ve should realiz not only that each or the warring nations has helped to create the conditions of which the war Is a tragic expression, but that these con dition characu rise Americana as well as Kuropeane We are quite as belligerent In temper as other men. We should con demn the causes of war: but we should lof.K for them not so much In state papers as in the fers, prejudices and rivalries which are common to men everywhere except as they are Influenced by the divine spirit Our own freedom from mili tarism haa been due to protecting oceans rather than to superior virtue. The pres ent clamor for an armament to resist a possible attack Is prompted, not by peril, but by the disposition to echo on our eld of the eea the cries which hsve been heard In iCurope for1 years, snd It is en gendering the same suspicions that have wrecked tbe rc'aCroa of Germany and Oreat Britain.

There waa always a fear and dread in my mind, I had cold, nervous, weak spells, hot flashes over my body. I had a place in my right side that was ao sore that I could hardly bear the weight of my clothes. I tried medicines and doctors, but they did me little good, and I never expected to get out again. I got Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier, and I cer tainly would have been in grave or in an asylum if your medicines had not saved me. But now I can work all day, sleep well at night, eat anything I want, have no hot flashes or weak, nervous spells. All pains, aches, fears and dreads are gone, my hpuse, children and husband are no longer neglected, as I am almost entirely free of the bad symptoms I had before taking your remedies, and all is pleasure and happiness in my home."
