Common Sense in Guarantees.

The business men of New Orleans
are moving to secure for the country
national quarantine, and they will
ask business men of other cities to CO.
operate in the effort. They say that
state or local guarantees are con-
trolled by politicians or are influenced
by specific business interests, and that
In a matter of health and even life the
country can no longer afford to do
without a national quarantine Yellow
fever destroys interstate commerce,
and the business men of New Orleans
can see no reason why that fever
should be controlled by locally APP
pointed boards.
The truth Is, the time has come for
a control of all international and inter-
state quarantine by the marine hos
pital service, and the south after It's
experience oil the present summer sure
ly will not attempt to retain variety
of local guarantees. The story of Pen
sacola, and even the story of New Or
leans, should forbid such an effort.
We can not afford to indulge in any
such extension of states rights, for
the states have nothing to do with in
terstate commerce.
The south will show It's good sense
If 1t puts itself at the head of the
movement in Congress to provide for
national quarantine.

NEW RULING MADE ON
PATENT MEDICINES

Washington. October 1S-Replying to
an inquiry regarding the construction TO
be placed on a recent ruling or ms OF
flee on alcoholic compounds labelled ana
sold as medicines, Commissioner Yerkes OF
the internal revenue bureau, holds as fol-
lows:
1.-The ruling does not apply to toilet ar
ticles, whatever the quantity of alcohol
contained therein may be; nor does 1t
apply to the various essences Or extracts
to which you refer, viz. of lemon, vanilla,
cinnamon, etc., If these preparations are
such as are known to the legitimate groc-
cry or drug trade as household articles for
culinary and other uses, and not as bev-
erages.
where, however, alcoholic compounds
called essences of lemon, vanilla. CHINA
mon,' ETC., or so-called tinctures or es-
sence of ginger, contain as you state a
mere trifle of medicament the main con-
stituent being alcohol, and these prepara-
lions which you further say are usually
sold by country merchants. especially in
prohibition districts. are found by the
local internal revenue officers or agents
to be generally sold or used as beverages,
every merchant thus selling them with
out holding the requisite special stamp
as liquor dealer under the international
revenue laws, will be liable to criminal
prosecution in addition to the assessment
against him of special tax and penalty
and the manufacturers of these so-called
essences and extracts who are shown by
the facts ELECTED to have made these alco-
holc compounds for sale In prohibition
districts, will be held liable to special tax
and penalty as rectifiers of liquors."
The commissioner has also held where
malt extracts composed largely of fer
mented liquor are labelled and sold as
medicines, it Is for the manufacturers
to show that these extracts are SO com
bined with drugs as to be genuine medi-
cines, not coming within the recent rul-
ing of his office.

THE WHITE HOUSE WHISKY.

From the Kansas City Journal
Good judges of liquor agree that White
House whisky during the Roosevelt resi-
dence there has been Of uniformly good
quality. Tradition has it that James Blu
chanan kept the best liquor ever seen in
the executive mansion. 1t is said that he
had in his cellar at Wheatland enormous
quantities of the best rye whisky in the
world when he died. 1t is said, and the
story used to be told with the precision
and circumstantiality that gave it the i'm
press of truth. that whisky-that Is. good
whisky and such whisky as he drank
had no other intoxicant effect on James
Buchanan than gentle exhilaration and
that he could drink a gallon Of it day
without perceptible effect on his physi-
que or the slightest disorder Of his mind.

The way to make a girl want to marry

A girl is very much interested in a
