ENGAGEMENTS REaUIRED.
New Rules Regulating Association
of Smith Girls and Arnhert Men.

From the Baltimore sun.
Northampton, Mass. Dec 10.-There
is great stir among Smith College
students over the new set of rules re-
Gently adopted which are principally
aimtd at Amherst students.
From this time on a Smith girl, in
order to be allowed any liberties with
an Amherst student, must be engaged
to him. 1t is expected that engage
ments de convenience will be announc-
ed rapidly.
One of the most important rules
concerns carriage drives. Under it's
provision no young woman may take
a carriage drive with any young man,
but, two wome N may go with one man,
or two men, st1 long as all ride in one
vehicle. The single exception to this
rule Is in favor of, engaged couples. 1t
is certain that engagements will be
fastened in the future for the bene-
fit of this privilege,
Another rule provides that no Am
herst man may VISIT a Smith girl on
Sunday This rule was established
for self-protection. Sc, many Amherst
men have been calling upon Smith
girls upon Sunday that the many DOR
mltories there have been veritable re-
ceptions afternoon and evening.
Theater parties are CO vered by an
other rule. which is more liberal By
the provision Of this section any Am
herst man may take any. Smith girl

SALT AS CANCER CAUSE.

London Lancet.
From the New York Herald.
London. Dec. 6.--Experiments in the
treatment of cancer by the Roentgen
rays in America are watched with
great interest by the medical profess
sion here. Face cancer has been sue
cessfully treated thus in the London
Skin Hospital and at present there is
a case of breast cancer undergoing
similar treatment at the same place
with encouraging results.
The Lancet publishes a long article
by DR.. James Braithwaite, advancing
the theory that an excess Of salt in
the diet is one Of the four factors which
originate cancer.
1T is an essential factor" he says,
but II is imperative without at least
one or probably two OF the others Ex-
cess of salt may arise from individual
taste or from eating too much salt
meat or too much ordinary meat,
which, of course. involves much salt
Other factors are an overnourished

FLORIDA TOBACCO GROWERS AND
THE CUBAN TARIFF.

At a meeting Of the Tobacco Grow
ers of the state of Florida, held at
Quincy. Fla, Monday. Dec. 8, 1901,
the principal growers being represent
ed and the meeting being called to ex-
press the views of said growers on
the Cuban tobacco tariff, to Mr.. ] o.
LaFontisee, representing the Military
Governor of Cuba. the following reso-
buttons were unanimously adopted:
Whereas. the Tobacco Growers of
Florida desire to go on record as be-
ing unalterably opposed to any change
in the existing tariff on tobacco. as
types similar to the Cuban tobacco are
grown in the state of Florida, and in
our domestic markets are sold in COM
petition with the same. and,
Whereas. the types of tobacco grown
in Florida are recognized by the trade
of the United States as representing
the finest grades produced in this
country. and this tobacco is used IN
the production of the best grades of
cigars, and.
Whereas. the tobacco growing indus
try in Florida has been fostered and
developed by the existing tariff laws,
and relying upon their continuance the
growers have invested large sums In
permanent improvements. amounting
to upwards OF three million dollars
and the industry furnishes employment
to thousands oc people in the fields
and warehouses, and any change in the
existing tariff will impair the value OF
the improvements and throw thous-
ands of people out of employment, and
Whereas, under existing conditions
the Cuban government levies a duty
of IS per pound on all tobacco enter
ing its ports which duty is prohibit
tory. therefore be il
Resolved, That, we insist upon the
maintenance of the present rate Of
duty. but If in the event any change
in the tariff shall he made. then we
insist as a matter of equity and jus.
tice that in view of the fact that the
Cuban government is seeking to have
the rates of duty now levied by the
United States reduced, that our Amer.
lean tobaccos should be admitted into
the ports of Cuba on exactly the same
basis as the Cuban tobacco may bt
admitted into our ports, so that we
may enjoy the same benefits in Their
markets that they desire from us.

If this comparative i'm munity is
correct," says DIR. Braithwait e, the on
ly explanations possible are the differ
erce Of life and difference Of diet. The
latter is far more probable than the
former. Difference of >die1 between
Jews and Gentiles consists mainly in
the absence of bacon and ham from
the diet of the former; and as, accord
ing DO Prof. ]. McFadyean. principal
Of the Royal Veterinary college. the
pig lis the only domestic animal in
which no case of cancer has been met
with, ii must be salt and not the flesh
of the animal which is to blame. Jews
also eat less butchers meat and more
fowl and fish. These points all tend to
the conclusion that salt is an active
factor.
Nothing can be clearer about can
Ger than the fact that its incidence is
connected with diet ana the only con-
stantly present thing ira the daily diet
is salt 1t does not matter what the
rest of the food may be, salt must be
present and in excess. Considering the
patients occupation and mode of life,
If salt is absent cancer is absent. Saw
argos, so far as known, are exempt from
cancer, and they get little salt
"All domestic animals, except the
pig, are subjec1 to cancer, and salt is
given to sheep. cows and horses, but
never to pigs. Wild carnivora, with, oil
course, pure meat diet, are exempt
On the other hand, when confined in
geological gardens they are given salt,

Obstructed LEGISLATION.

Editor of the Morning News: The
looker-on from the gallery of the
House of Representatives has, during
the sessions in past years, had oppor-
tunity to observe the course of a mi
nority of members who have carried
into working the policy of delays so as
to prevent the passage of certain
measures, which, to these, seemed I'M
desirable. How far this course is in
harmony with sound doctrine is as yet
undecided. 1t is a truth we'll under
stood that a minority must be pro-
tected at times, in order that wise laws
may be passed. This was true in the
federal House when the so-called Force
bill was proposed. Dilatory tactics were
used and prevailed. There are those
who hold that the defeat of the bill
for the erection of a terminal station
for the State road in Atlanta was, and
is, of sufficient value to the public to
warrant almost, or quite, revolutionary
methods: and. believing thus these have
conformed action to theory with a zeal
and earnestness worthy of good. pos
sibly, a better cause. At present the
situation is apparently this: A station
is a need. A station will be built. The
day of it's completion is nearer than
ever before. That is about as far as a
prudent man. an outsider, would care
to go.
A bill which provides that no child
shall be admitted to the public schools

USE Tors OF CANE FOR SEED.

Columbus Enquirer-Sun: The cost
Of seed cane will be very materially re-
duced, by a discovery recently made by
the Louisiana experimental farm.
Those in charge of the station have
found out that fully as good results
are obtained by using merely the tops
of the cane. Heretofore the tops have
been thrown away, being deemed en-
tirely worthless. and the theory that
only the fully developed eyes of the
stalk made good seed has been wide
spread. In this section the tops have
never come into use as seed, it being
deemed absolutely necessary to plant
the fully developed joints in order to
porduce successful results, but the
success of the Louisiana experiment
station VIII doubtless open the eyes
of farmers in this section to the ex-
tent that the production of this crop
will be still further cheapened.

KEEP THEIR MONEY IN BANK.

Liberty County Herald: A Savannah
banker who is well posted on the
financial status of the counties sur
rounding the city told the editor Of the
Herald a few days ago that Liberty
county people, now residents of the
county, owned stock and had on de-
post in Savannah banks. more than
quarter of million dollars. He
named some Of the depositors whose
accounts went into five figures and to
say that establishment rested on the
brow of the lily fed and poorly clad
editor is but a mild manner of con-
Veying the effect of the surprise. Much
OF the money is on deposit and draws
per cent. per annum. while the great
majority Of IT is carried in per cent
bank stock. The banker said also that
other country counties contributed
heavily TO the deposits but none were
equal to Liberty county considering
her resources and population. The
fact that this money or much of II is
deposited in Savannah banks instead
or being loaned out in the county. is
10 large degree due to the present
collection laws, which make il almost
impossible TO collect where the debtor
tries to keep from paying.
