men e decent.

II is a mysterious phase of life that will destroy virtue. Few
women deliberately choose a life of shame. The city is full OF men
of wealth who spend money lavishly to accomplish their purpose, and
when life is closed to the girl, home lost, reputation ruined and sup
port impossible, what is the poor victim of mans base deceit to do!
Fallen, SHE N RISE.
Every man who has daughters, every man who has a sister, should
join a movement to drive out of the city these betrayers of innocent
girlhood. Let us lift up u voices against the edict of society that
casts out the woman and smiles upon the man. Let us lift the weight
from the head of the fallen woman, who has always had to bear the
guilt, and hurl it ii its crushing force UPON THE MAN who, by
the girls poverty, by betrayal, by frivolous gayety, conspires for her
fall Let lis rid New York of these loathsome, putrid animals, luxu-
rious in inherited or appropriated wealth, who seek adventures with
all the eagernesss of romance, because the girl who falls must crouch
without the walls Of SOCIAL liberation, while society is all smiles on the
rich rake, sometimes young men, more frequently middle aged men,
old men, VIGOROUSLY corrupt, mad dogs in society WHO DESERVE
TO BE SHOT, Vet because of their wealth walk with head erect,
mabashed and unbanshed for their devltry.

Young men make a sad mistake when they think it necessary to
have a personal acquaintance with the seamy side Of life.

A Mild Disciplinarian

DESPITE the many complaints and criticisms, the
Government rule is a comparatively gentle one
and its enforcement is perhaps unduy genial Tens of
thousands of dollars worth of dutiable goods are
brought in the persons of women of position
because it is not the policy of the authorities to
subject them to the indignity of a bodily search
Only in of exact previous information or other
certain evidence, only in fragrant cases in fact is
this resorted to. In these the woman is taken
back to the ship and in state-room thoroughly
searched by a woman inspector. A fair excuse
from respectable person is always accepted. One
New Y DIRK woman declared nothing, and was found
to have twenty-five thousand dollars worth of
dutiable goods a dress-srit case, rather neatly
hidden. She protested tlsat she did not know
whether they dutable or not, and was waiting
to meet her husband on the pier and ask his advice
As she soon after met her husband the pier and
did promptly ask his advice, and as he equally
promptly paid the duty, the incident was closed.
Many of this class give themselves away
by their fears. Smuggling seems a simple and easy
thing, until the actual moment arrives. Then. in
striving to appear perfectly natural they succeed in
being completely unnatural. They are much too
careless genial or severe and inspector
looking into the eyes of twenty people day for
three hundred days in the year can detect them
twenty yards away. They are amateurs in a rather
difficult art.
Last year young woman prominent in Wash
ington society declared nothing She had the
courtesy of the port, she said and protesting Wig
orously against any examination whatever, assured
the inspector that she know much about the
courtesy of the port as he did. Now this courtesy
of the port, formula practically obsolete never
in its best days contemplated the entrance of duti

the promised articles, sent in an anonymous
note to the collector She arrived and declared
nothing Unknown to her, the inspector had a copy
of the list, and ceased his examination until
everyone of the articles was revealed Their value
was eighteen hundred dollars. Her anger was not
wholly repressed She paid the duty; but what
she did with the articles is unknown. She could
not make the gifts without giving of them to the
dear friend who had betrayed her.
But it is seldom from the " dear friends" that the
knowledge comes to the inspector. Treasury agents
keep a fairly active eye upon all important pur-
chases by Americans in Paris and London. These are
reported, and the reports ready unknown them
when the tourists come home. The trades notably
the jewelry and importing houses, also help the
Government in every way, for their protection.
Except in fragrant cases, the payment of the duty
undeclared goods is all that necessary obtain
their entry. Seizure, prosecution, and fine take
place when the deliberate intention to defraud is
obvious and serious.

LIlOuSdu passengers VINO passed the inspectors
year, there were only six false bottomed trunks and
were broken open. One contained twelve hundred
dollars worth of glass eyes; another less than
hundred dollars worth of imitation jewelry; and
the contents of the rest insignificant.
The days OF professional smuggling the great
liners well The importers of antique
furniture who brought it in upholstered with vaua-
bic silks and laces, of the art dealers who brought
masterpieces on the backs of mirrors and all the
elaborate efforts of this kind longer exist Re
spectacle firms above such attempts, and are the
enemies of such offenders Diamonds are always
a temptation, because their value is great and the
duty IS heavy. They also easily concealed.
Professional buyers for large importing houses
times try little games of this kind; but rarely
for the house and their greatest fear that the
Government but their employers will hear of it.
This means of course instant dismissal from a
sponsible and highly paid situation.
Some make no effort whatever to eVade the laws
of the revenue. For example elderly society
matron, on her last return from Europe, brought
back sixty trunks, immense brown affairs of uniform
Size which she declared to contain dutiabe goods
to the value of seventy-six thousand dollars. This
found inspection to be correct, and she paid
the duty there and then the wharf to the amount
of thirty-one thousand eight hundred dollars. This
is the Government rule the duty being payable in
cash or by certified checks before the goods can
leave the wharf. Another, a woman of much ex-
perience and many trips back and forth, does not
declare literally but leaves the matter to the inspect
ors examination. A secretary is awaiting her
arrival with large sum in thousand-dollar bills,
and the assessed duty is paid without comment or
protest, one hundred dollars or fifty thousand
dollars, as the case may be.

An Exciting Sport

PUT among younger society women, however the
- case is different. Some of them love to smuggle
1t is talked of, laughed at, and boosted over and
may fairly be included among the exciting society
sports. Others smuggle because sensible husbands
have allowed them so many thousands to buy jewelry
and dresses in Paris and pay the duty, and they
not resist the temptation spend the entire amount
in buying and then attempt to evade the duty Into
this class come the daughters of millonaires, and
even mutimionaires. The fear, grief, and hysteria
even, which they sometimes manifest the wharf
when detected make comedy scenes which are trag-
ical to them The moral lesson is never forgotten
however Once in a lifetime is enough.

luncheon to her intimate women friends before going
abroad, and promised to bring each of them a

accorded its possessor special cour-
tesies, particularly in the point of
time. They escaped delay, and were
assisted in every way Despite her
violent protest, her trunks were close
ly examined And, as this case and
scene was a typical one, its narration
may serve as a lesson to all other
young women who hope to defraud
Uncle Sam, and suggest to them the
proper thing to do when detected.
In the trunks were seventeen
thousand five hundred dollars worth

of elegant dresses, and costly hand
embroidered underwear and the various expen-
sive finery of a young woman who has been
buying what she wanted in Paris with lavish
purse. Still angry, she fought the situation inch by
inch That this dress new, she admitted; that
that not she insisted. 1t was old dress
which she had taken with her, etc, etc. There was
battle in detail over every article. On some the
tickets, the etiquettes of the French maker, left
her no opportunity On others, it was up to the
inspector to know.
Now, every competent Inspector is as well in
formed of this years fashions Fifth-ave milner.
1t IS necessary part of his official knowledge,
though the women do not expect it. Every change
in cut skirt, fril ornamentation, and what-not
which distinguishes ths-years gown from last
years, he IS fully of. However much the
dresses had been worn, he able to tell every
one, and they practically all new. The
duty seventy eight hundred dollars, and not
penny less would the inspector take
The young woman was Mortified and aghast.
She had not with her tiftieth of the sum, and she
evidently had moving fear that her father would
not accept the situation with perfect calm,
though he paid the money. She was helpless, until
the inspector suggested that of the express COM
panies would probably advance the money. A
polite agent, upon learning who her father was,
promptly did so, taking the trunks as security and
forwarding them to her father in Washington,
where the amount, invariably the case,
paid on delivery This is the usual CUSTOM and is
convenient one for passengers who find themselves
in an unexpected difficulty But the agony that
young woman went through she will never forget,
and it is dollars to that she will put her
self in the same position again.

HEALTH
IN BARTON

Fred D. Pierce Says Care of hi
gestion Solves Problem of Long
Life.
No one in Barton has a better
chance than the druggist to know the
condition of the city's health, and
what diseases are the most common.
Fred D. Pierce believes that the
problem of long life is solved by pr,p-
er care of the digestive organs. Let
he stomach get out of condition and
soon there will be nervousness irrita-
ton, furred tongue, specks before the
eyes, weakness, debility, indigestion,
and other physical and mental
troubles that directly result from a
weakened stomach.
OF ali the vital organs, the stomach
is the one most frequently abused,
and hence, the one which most fire.
ouently fails, and so with the discov-
ery of a remedy like Mona stom-
ach tablets, which are sold on an ahso-
lutte guarantee to strengthen the di
gestive system, aid in assimilation OF
food. and cure all troubles caused by
Indigestion, an important step has
been taken towards solving the ques-
ton of good health and long life.
Take one of the little Milo ma tablets
before each meal, with the fixed de-
termination that yon are going to get
we'll, and it will not be many days be-
fore you can eat anything without
fear of Indigestion.
Fred D. Pierce sells MILO ma on an
absolu guarantee to refu d the mon
ey if it does not cure. A large box OF
the tablets costs but so cents, if it
helps you; nothing if it fails.
