THE sPIeoT HOLE QUESTION:.

III HE SHOULDN'T \ BEER KEG
" have more than one spigot hole q?
That is the question a good many Salt
Lakers asked themselves or somebody
else yesterday. They had read in The
Herald that Internal Revenue Collec-
tor CallisJer had sent notices TO the
local breweries to the effect that, un-
der a recent ruling of the treasury
department they must close all the
spigot holes in their kegs but one. Now
il is mauifesJly impossible to get more
beer into or out Of a keg containing
two or three spigot holes than into or
cut Of keE containing only one.
What then. Is the reason for this
vicious assault on the spigot hole in
dustry? is the treasury department
I'm the grasp Of the spigot hole trust?
Are we about 10 have a prohibitive

This is the way OF IL. Some brewers

Fuller is a lucky man. In his defense

coRsETs AND DANCING.

A MISS MORIARTTY of Springfield,
= Mass, died the other day quite
suddenly from heart failure. which the
doctor who was called said was caused
by too tight lacins of her corsets. The
dispatch adds that Miss 8IOriarity was
overcome while dancing. which would
seem 20 overthrow, in some measure at
least. the tight corsets theory. It is
possible shat the 'over-exertion in
dancing brought on the attack Of heart
failure. such things have happened be-
fore.
Only a few months ago young
Greek woman who never wore Il corset
in her life died at the end of night of
dancing. In her ease the doctors sa
it was the dancing that did the dam
age perhaps because they had no cor
sets 10 fall back on. II is possible in
the Springfield case to draw two
morals. First, avoid tight cOrsets. Sec
ond avoid dancing to excess. Both no
tions viii find plenty Of adherents.
The tendency to tight corsets seems
to be diminishing nowadays. anyway.
The wasp waist is no longer considered
the most beautiful thing in the world.
Its decline is doubtless due to the in
creased athletic activity of women.
They aCcUstom themselves to corsetIsss
freedom of movement and decline to re-
turn TO the old tight-lacing style. The
matter of dancing is one of individual
Judgment j. is, of course, possible for
a woman TO dance herself to death, just
as it is possible for one to lace herself
10 death.
The thing to strike is, if possible. the
happy medium.

= CUSTOMS VAeARY.

ONE OF THE NAGABTES Of the
" customs laws has Just been brought
TO light in New York. r. jefferson
Coolidge imported a bunch Of very
handsome pearls. Before they were
shipped from England they were, for
the sake of convenience. strung on a
fine silk thread. Now if Mr.. Coolidge
had taken the trouble to read the law
he would never have mad those pearls
strung. The act made q difference OF
fifty per cent in the duty. The tariff
on strung pearls is sixty per cent adj
valorem. on pearls Unstrung it is ten
per cent ad valorem.
We confess q difficulty in understand
ing why pearls are more valuable after
they have been strung than before. As
a matter OF fact they are not more valu-
able. That is, a given string Of pearls
of the value OF $4,000 is worth $4,000
whether hitched together by a siIken
thread or scattered around the bottom
of trunk AR Coolidge protested bit
terry against paying the increased duty
bot ne paid it Just the same. for your
Uncle Samuel viii not be trified with.
However. we do not suppose a very
large proportion Of the American pub
lic viii shed tears over The duty on
pearls, whether strung or unstrung.
Very few Of US are abe to own pearls.
Fewer are able 10 import them And
those who have enough money to buy
pearls abroad and bring them over
here should have money enough to pay
any ana an duties, however large they
may be. We must refuse to sympathize
with air Coolidge He isn't obliged to
have the pearls.

TO CHEAPER RADlum.

THE FIRST THING we know ra-
dunn via be as cheap as ordinary
cooking salt. And then we expect to hear
numerous denials Of the wonderful cur
alive powers attributed to it. one
scientist and another tell US that rs-
drum is good for the liver. win posi-
lively cure cancer, consumption rheu-
matjsm, housemaids' knee, bubonic
plague, grippe. pneumonia, smallpox,
diphtheria, typhoid fever. that tired
feeling and every other malady you
see IN the long list on the outside Of
the patent medicine bottle.
We expect these astonishing prop
critics are SO gIibly assigned 10 radium
because il is not within the power Of
more than one man in, say, a million.
to possess himself OF 2 chunk Of the
stuff. It IS the most expensive material
in the world today. being rated at some
thing like a nillion dollars . pound
with no discount of for cash. But "a
dunn is going to be cheaDened 10 a
marked extent within the next few
years.
A recent announcement is made that
it has been successfully extracted from
Colorado ores. A few months ago a
Princeton professor found it in Utah
ore. Other states are coming to the
front rapidly and we may have radium
laboratories or factories or shelters or
whatever the scientists desire 20 cali
them without end. Then when We have
so much radium thai everybody can
have a chunk Of it we won't care 50
very much about il, and our scientific
friends viii be obliged to set about dis
covering something else 50 expensive
that everybody win want it right away.
