GIFTS MUST PAY DUTY.
Ruling By Treasury Department
Relating to Imports By Tourists
Coming from Foreign
Lands.

with them 500 worth of curios or
other things as presents for kin or
friends.
4 recent decision of the General
Board of United States Appraisers
put stop to this liberal interpreta-
ton of the Treasury Act, the fol-
lowing being the gist of the decision
of the appraisers.
paragraph 697 of the Tariff
Act OF 1897 relating to personal eff
fects of persons arriving in the
United States must be construed as
exempting from duty only such
wearing apparel and personal eff
fects as would be included in the
term baggage; and articles intend
ed for distribution as presents,
contained in the baggage of persons
arriving in the United States are
not entitled to free entry under
Paragraph 697, but are expressly
excluded from that paragraph.
"The issue raised by the protests
involved the question whether arti-
cles brought in by resident passen-
gers and not intended for their own
use, comfort and convenience, but
designated as presents for some
other persons are to be included
within the provisions of Paragraph
697 of the Tariff Act of 1897.
"The term baggage is defined in
Abbott's law dictionary as "such
effects as traveller carries for per-
sonal use on ajourney." The courts
have uniformly held that articles
notcarried by person for his or
her own personal use or convenience
cannot be construed to fall within
the term, and in our judgment the
baggage of said paragraph can be
construed to mean nothing else.
at is generally provided among
other things that this exemption
shall include only such articles as
are in the use of and as are neces-
sary and appropriate in the wear
and use of such persons for the
journey and their present comfort
and convenience"
This ruling is approved by the
Secretary of the Treasury and SUI
persedes the Secretary's former
liberal Interpretation of the act.
This ruling which permitted a re-
sident returning from Mexico OF
any other foreign country to bring
in 500 worth of anything as pre-
sents or for his own use. raised
storm of protest among the
custom officials and the merchants
up and down the various border
lines. This Interpretation was made
in May 1902, and stood until
reversed as announced in Treasury
Decision No. 24,202 and General
Board of Appraisers Decision No.

AN HONEST SkEPTIC.
And Where He Landed.

An honest skeptic will learn things
that a prejudiced and ignorant person
misses. There have been many skep-
tics of the great rebuilding value of
the pure food Grape-Nuts simply be-
cause they did not understand the
scientific principle upon which it is
based.
A Cincinnati man prepared to die
and then got well and strong in spite
of his convictions. He says Il have
always regarded your food as only an
other catch penny to fool the public,
but | am now forced through simple
justice to admit that it is all you claim.
Il suffered for years from indiges-
ton and had : set my house in order
to die. Then / took up the study of
the ~alimentary table, bought a set of
chemical devices to analyze the diff
ferent foods and set to work to intel
ligently study the food question.
Il selected and ate those vegetables
and meats in which | found the most
nutriment and which We're supposed to
be the most easily digested, but | con-
tiIued to waste away and my stom-
ach grew to be a veritable hell; sour
scalding quotations came up in my
mouth, taking my breath away for
such a long while that | thought many
times my end had come. | would fall

vision to such an extent that it seemed
to be almost night in my room.
MY stomach grew so weak that
could not digest even well boiled rice.
While lying in bed, badly discouraged
and more willing to die than live. a
voice seemed to come to me, why
don't you give up your prejudice and
try Grape-Nuts.' / thought about it
every little while during the day and
late in the evening sent out for some
and ate a little, expecting it would
hurt me and cause all the terrible
trouble Owe again, but an hour passed
and everything was right so / took an
other little meal and waited. | felt
better and the old sick feeling quit.
So about 9 o'clock took a pretty good
meal of Grape-Nuts and went to bed
feeling good. laid awake some time
fearing my poor weak and scalded
stomach would suffer, but, strange to
say, | dropped off TO sleep and slept
sound and peaceful and enjoyed the
most glorious nights rest | had for
several years.

be a good railroad man he must be
honorable, industrious and sober. A
great many of this kind of men are
employed by the Santa Fe today, and
C. A. Bidison, a brakeman running be-
tween Topeka and Arkansas City, is
one OF them. On the 18th of this
month Mr.. Bidison found a pocket
book containing over $500 in currency
and checks. No one saw him pick it
up and if he had been the kind of man
that some people think a railroad mar
is, he would have put it in his pocket
and never said a word about it. In
stead of doing this, however, he open
ed the pocketbook. found the card of
the owner and returned to him the
pocketbook, money and all. The man
who lost the pocketbook is Ralph Pot
ter, travelling representative of the
Lee Mercantile company, Salina, Kas.,
and If you don't believe this story, ask
him about it.-Topeka State Journal.

TRACK PUT DOWN THURSDAY.
A Record Breaker in the Construction
Of the Santa Fe Central Railway.

OF the santa re central halfway.
Telegraphic information received
from General Manager w. S. Hopewell
of the Santa Fe Central, who is at Es-
tancia Station on the Santa Fe Central
line yesterday, gives the gratifying in.
formation that Thursday was a record
breaking day for track laying on the
road. The Harris track laying ma
chine and teh fore with it put down
IL 200 feet of steel track during Thurs
days working hours, which is consid-
cred excellent work for one day. Pro-
gress is satisfactory now and the track
will be about a mile north of E~stancia
which station was reached at noon
yesterday. Thereafter for the next
forty miles going north, construction
will be comparatively easy and will be
rapid. The track laying gang worked
south from Kennedy station Thursday
and put down 100 feetof steel track
and is working south steadily and in
creasing in efficiency and rapidity of
the work. 1t is believed that yester-
days work beat Thursdays record of
II, 200 feet, and that it may foot up
lear three miles of actual steel track
put down during the working hours.

Some people labor under the impress
sion that the majority of men who rail-
road for a living are a little below the
ordinary run of American citizens.
These impressions have been formed
entirely from heresay. Railroading
is a hard life and therefore some peo-
pie can not understand why a man
will work at it. They finally come to
the conclusion that he is too low down
to do anything else and falls back on
railroading as a last resort This is
not true. The fact is that in order to
