that you wot II canvass this vicinity

yourself with hon Sc and riding from

head of the family about the merits
OF the article in question, combining
yourself to talk upon same not OK

covered by an nd If carried by the
home paper, how long do you think
it would take to acquaint fully the
500 souls with your logic as compared
with the quiet but effective work OF
the newspaper. Ponder over these
features of advertising before de-
CRYING any more the value OF news,
paper space. Considering, also, that
the head of the families. at whose

ried journey, have to be added to the
time to be reckoned, by telling each
member of the household the same tale
you have already told, and discount
this by remembering in connection

Tnls paper has not added its cdi-
torial yelp in loud balks to the hue
and cry that is going up over the
South from its newspapers craving
national quarantine control Of the
sea ports of country to protect
against yellow fever and other con-
tagious plagacs likely to come in
through maritime sources. We have
been studying the question consider
ably since it was first was sprung, in
IN honest and conservative endeavor
to hit upon the legal solution of the
difficulties under which our section
has laborcd during this yellow fever
visitation. We have not denied, but
on the contrary, have commented
upon the need of just such rcgula-
ton as this by Federal control, but
just what steps should be taken or
statutes enrolled upon our State and
National statues books, does not yet
appear, and to our mind we can I
intelligently discuss the legislative
feature which the question is to as
sumo till after the Chattanooga Quar-
antine Convention has evolved plan
for such provisions or in its absence
to do SO, some of our learned
statesmen in State and national af-
fairs have submitted to their constit-
ueney proposed bills or measures to
cover the needs appearing and de-
sired by our people for their relief III
such times of peril. The yellow fe
yer does not originate in the United
States, being always imported from
some of the tropical countries, and
the IT, S. Marine service has shown
itself at Havana and New Orleans
to be the only machinery ever applied
that has succeeded in their efforts to
stamp it out, once it has appeared or
is found entrenched in a place, There
must be means provided to have
Uncle Sam regulate ports, and do SO
without interfering with States
rights, but at the same time to have
such a free hand in the matter in ur-
gent times, that nothing can arise to
handicap his movements, when con-
fined to the proper and Legitimate
channels indicated in such cmergen
cies.

TIE ruling recently made by Inter
nal Revenue Commissioner Yerkes,
taking effect December 1st, that the
manufacturers of patent medicines.
whose remedies showed to contain
over certaiR percentages of alcohol
le elem&t, must come under the con-
stzuction of the law as to paying
special tax as wholesale liquor deal
ers, and that retail druggists selling
such preparations be required to pay
! tax of SO per year. The Oh emist
of the Revenue Department is now
busy subiecting the so-called medi-
clnes, under the suspicion of the
Revenue Commissioner, to a test for
alcoholic strength, and the informa
ton has already been vouchsafed,
that when the ruling goes into effect,
that an announcement as we'll as no
tice will be given to the druggists
and the manufacturers, as to which
medicines are to be regarded as UNI
der the ban. The privilege is to be
allowed the patent medicine manu-
facturers of either paying the reve-
nue. or cutting down the quantity of
alcohol. Quite furry has been Gre
eated in the manufacturing and drug
circles, and naturally the results of
the chemists labors are awaited with
interest.
Legislative and departmental con-
struction of existing statutes have
been growing need along these
lines, for IL prohibition sections the
druggists have been forced to vend
preparations hiding under the dis
guise of medicinal names and claims
that were nothing but drinks com
pounded with enough medical prop
critics in a whiskey or wine body
to put the appearance of merit upon
them for diseases OF various kinds.
when in reality they were but clev-
erly devised prohibition drinks Such
abuses will be tolerated for time,
but this American people are not tc
be tricked Jor long, and We predict
that that this is but the small be-
ginning Of a movement that viii re-
suit in some sweeping reforms along
this line.
