Hawaiian and Porto Rican legislation
now has the right Of. way in both
branches of Congress. In the Senate,
the bill providing form Of government
for Hawaii, on territorial lines, is the
unfinished business" and will remain
such until disposed of. In the House,
the Porto Rico tariff bill, which was re-
ported from the Ways and Means COM
m,ttee last week, has been called up and
will be kept up until disposed Of. Both
bills will probably pass as party meas
ures, although the sentiment in the
House in favor of allowing Porto Rico
unrestricted trade with the United
States will cause not few members to
vote for the tariff bill reluctantly; but
the announcement by the President that
he would sign it, if passed, although in
his message he had recommended free
trade for Porto Rico, ended the serious
opposition to it in the ranks of the ma
jority. But the minority will utilize
the bill to make some extended speeches,
which they hope to use later for politi-
cal ammunition.
Spain put a new tariff into effect the
lst of this year. which contained some
items which can only be explained on
the ground of hatred towards this coun
try. For instance, the United States
Consul at Barcelona, in report to the
Department of State, points out that the
duty on typewriters, which under the
old tariff averaged about fifty cents a
machine, is now from $l3 to 500. AS
no typewriters are made in Spain, the
big duty seems to have been imposed

It's just as easy to drift into danger
as to drive into 1t. The progress is slower
but the end is equally sure. 1t is the
gradual progress Of drifting which blinds
to the danger. Men and women drift into
ill-health In such a way. There is
little feeling of oppression after eating.
After a time it passes away. Some day
it returns and brings another symptom
headache, perhaps. Something Is done
to relieve the headache, but nothing to
relieve the cause So one more victim
goes drifting on to the rocks of disease.
Young women who are teaching or
studying are very apt to become victims
of disease of the stomach. They eat in

eral the brain Is too occupied to allow
the stomach the blood necessary to carry
on its functions. Hence In time the
organs of digestion and nutrition are
totally deranged, and the young gradu-
ate goes home chronic invalid.
