TOOK 26 TONS OF ARSENIC.
New Orleans Citizens Had Faith In
DR.. Leach's Preventative Theory.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2.-Since the
arsenic craze in New Orleans and in
the states of Mississippi and Louisiana
has somewhat subsidized, druggists and
mathematicians have been calculating
the number of arsenic tablets
swallowed by the people of this city
and of the surrounding section.
The arsenic craze was of Minneso-
ia origin, having been started by DR..
Reginald B. Leach of st. Paul, who
claimed that arsenic tablets taken
three times a day in .01-grain doses
an attack very mild. DR.. Leach ad-
vanced his theory in a letter to the
New Orleans newspapers, and Of
fered to come to New Orleans and take
the preventive and allow himself to be
inoculat ted, a committee from the To-
cal medical society to note the re-
suits. Dr. Leach was invited by cit
liens to come, but the medical society
would have nothing to do with him
and his theory was not tested.
But many people. impressed by the
theory, swallowed his preventive. A
canvass of the retail, wholesale and
manufacturing druggists indicates
that 100000 900 arsenic tablets were
thus consumed in six weeks. The
tablets, each one-fiftn Of an inch
across, if laid side by side would make
one-third of the circumference Of the
earth, and longer than its diameter.
They would be as much as an ordinary
freight car could sustain, or about as
much as twenty-six carts could haul
through the streets Of a city. Twen-
ty-six tons of tablets We're swallowed.
In bulk, the tablets. packed closely
together, would make a pile contain
ing about 1000 cubic feet, or as much
as room 20 feet long, 20 feet wide
and 20 feet high could hold.
Estimating that it would take a
minute for each tablet to be taken
from the bottle and swallowed, the
people in and about New Orleans
spent an aggregate of 2,0S3,409 days
swallowing tablets. This figures out
sos years or six generations of Me-
thuSalehS.

TAFT AND BRYAN.
Ohio Man and Nebraskan Probable
Opposing Nominees for Presidency

CHICAGO, Ills, Nov. I'm spe-
cial to the Record Herald from Wash
ington, Walter Wellman says:
Is it to be President Taft or Pres
ident Bryan in 1909? This is
question which a good many observers
are now asking. For some time it has
been a settled conclusion among the
political gossipers of the national cap
ital that Mr.. Bryan again would be
the nominee of his party for presi-
dent in 1898 And now the same au-
thorities-the men who talk around
the hotel Hobbies and in the corridors
of the government departments-will
have it that William H. Taft is to be
the republican candidate.
According to the party leaders Mr..
in regaining leadership of his party
in 1903. In fact, he is today the only
really large figure in the democratic
party. The lamentable failure of the
alliance between the solid south and
New York state last year-the expert
rent in conservatism-has convinced
most democrats that the only hope for
their party lies in radicalism. And, of
course, that means Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan's hold upon his party was
never before SO complete as it is to-
day 1t is virtually undisputed, I'M
questioned, absolute and apparently
enduring. If Mr. Bryan does not
want to be the candidate in 1908 he
may name the man. The party is
ready to do his bidding. And unless
ne says no very positively and vigor-
Ously it will name him.
More and more men are prone to
:ooh upon Mr.. Taft as the successor
of Mr.. Roosevelt. Those holding this
view are, of course, taking long
chances, as he is rash prophet who
presumes to predict in 1905 what will
happen in 1908. But the fact remains
that in the midst of so many men
Mr.. Taft is already considered almost
as good as nominated. His speech in
Ohio Saturday and the putting forward
of his name by the members of the
Taft Presidential club are regarded
as forerunners of a campaign to make
the secretary of war the head Of
the nation.
Mr.. Taft is deemed by many compe-
tent observers to be wellnigh an ideal
public servant. He has a good deal
of wisdom and power and strength
for work in that big head and body
of his, and all he has he gives to mis-
country. He hews to the line all the
time. There is no trimming in his
case. He has but one guide: 'Is this
the best thing for the country, for the
government" Let that be answered
in the affirmative and everything else
has to give way in the ensuing move
ment.
Taft is one of the most conscien-
tious and fearless men known to the
public service of our country in 20
years. He is not even afraid of Theo-
dore Roosevelt and is one of the few
members Of the cabinet who have the
nerve to speak plainly and frankly
to the chief on all occasions.
1t is far cry to 1908, but in passing
we may mention that up to this time
Taft appears to have the field pretty
well to himself

who is considered the successor of
Moody, has decided, not to return to
the United States, at least not for
some years. With Charles M. Alexan-
der, the revivalist, he is still in
Plymouth, conducting successful
mission there. He intends to resign his
pastorate Of the Moody church in
Chicago, to relieve the congregation
of the necessity of having a temporary
pastor during his absence.

FACES TEMPERANCE FIGHT.
Yerkes' Medicine, Malt Extract and Es.
sence Orders Stir Big Interests.

There is promise of arousing temper
ance agitation in congress at the next
session. Some time ago, Congressman
Yerkes of the internal revenue bureau
issued an order that all persons selling
certain patent medicines containing
more than a given amount of alcohol
should take out government licenses
as retail liquor dealers. He has fol-
lowed this order with two others, to the
effect. first, that where malt extracts
composed largely of fermented liquors
are labelled and sold as medicines, the
manufacturers must show that these
extracts are So combined with drugs as
to be genuine remedies, not coming
within the patent medicine ruling just
referred to; and second, that where
alcoholic compounds called essentials
of lemon, vanilla, cinnamon, ETC., or
tinctures or essences of ginger, are
made for sale in prohibition commu-
mites for use as beverages, every mer-
chant handling them is liable to prose-
cution unless he has taken out stamp
tax as a retail liquor dealer
Aimed at Malt Extracts.
The first of these orders is aimed
at the numerous malt extracts which
are made by leading breweries of the
country, and the second at numerous
essences, etc, which have come TO
take the place of pure liquors in tenn
perance communities.
1t is asserted that in these commu-
mites the sale of these compounds has
become a thriving industry for drug
gists The manufacturers of the es
sences, etc, have been gradually in
creasing the percentage of alcohol in
their preparations in all orders in
tended for prohibition districts, UNTIL
according to a recent analysis made by
the internal revenue bureau, many Of
these preparations are now more than
half alcohol.
These several orders, taken together,
will strike a terrific blow at the whole
sale and retail drug trade of the en-
tire country, and congress will GER
tainly be besieged by these interests,
for relief, on the one hand, and on the
other by the temperance people, for
pronibitory legislation.
Army Csnteen Issue.
In connection with this question 1t
is said that the army canteen issue will
be again raised on account Of the
ing generals and other military experts
this year that the canteen is a bles-
sing for enlisted men.
The situation is believed to be ripe
for such temperance agitation as
congress has probably never before ex-
perienced.
Already there are indications, in let
ters, kilograms, ETC., from temperance
secretaries all over the country, that
the Yerkes patent-medicine order is
popular with temperance people. These
people will, of course, rejoice over the
additional orders issued today, and
strive to hold the ground thus gained.
There are also indications that the
drug trade of the country will resist
the revenue rulings and carry their
complaint to congress in an effort to
secure relief.
