LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
GOOD for Thought" on the Water
Question.

Question:
Mr.. Editor: When a boy, I learned
that in one town of Connecticut all the
stone walls were laid in Lyme. But
now L am informed that Michigan park
Is laid out in Norwich and that, for
good and sufficient reasons" the
foundation for a temporary reservoir
has been laid there in chloride of lime
Not satisfied with that some in Nor
wich want to make a permanent reser-
vOir out of Pease not secured from the
right Gard (1)ner.
This reminds me Of the old juvenile
nonsense rhyme
Bean porridge hot,
Bean porridge cold,
Bean porridge in the pot
Nine days old"
Now, this bean course may have
been all right for its purpose, but
fear that when we take the water out
Of Pease, for a steady diet, we may find
some of our former not-very- distant
neighbors in the SOUP" unless we use
more chloride Of lime or remove the
adjacent cemeteries.
This is offered only as food for
thought before we invest a million
dollars for Pease and find the soup"
distasteful.

tampering with the record of quantity or
quality of cotton called for, and agents
will not be permitted to sign the bills
until the cotton called for is in the act
ual possession of the railroad company.
One of the most important features of
the plan is the practical guarantee that
cotton called for in the bill is actually
going into transit This is believed to
be assured by the requirement that des-
ignation shall be made by numbers and
initials of the cars in which the cotton
has been loaded.
Some plan of this nature is extremely
desirable because national banks at
least cannot lawfully guarantee bills of
lading in accordance with the demand
Of foreign bankers. A way out of the
muddle created by the KnightYancey

through the issuance of a bill of lad

How would you enjoy pipeful of
wood shavings saturated with strong
solution of pepper as an after-dinner
smoker" queried William F. Quinn of
Portland, Ore, at the Arlington yes
terday.
Strange as this may seem as sub
stitute for tobacco, 1T is nevertheless
used as such by Indians along the Alas
kan coast. Their mouths are often made
raw by the practice, and the eyesight
of many is affected by the strong
fumes. 1t is no uncommon practice
among farmers to smoke the leaves
of the tomato and potato plants. While
both these plants contain a narcotic
poison, the smoking Of leaves in mod
Grafton is harmless Excessive use,
though. produces heavy stupor from
which the smoker awakes with ter
rifle headache and a feeling of utter
exhaustion. Insanity and suicide have
often been caused by the immoderate
use of these two weeds. Rhubarb, beet,
and even garden sage leaves are all
smoked by. farmers, but are perhaps
the least harmful of substitutes for
tobacco

Blrmingham's POstOfiice Site

The bids that have been opened at
the treasury department indicate that
lot can be obtained 300 by lao feet with
Tn the appropriation for the site of the
new Birmingham public building, but
thus far the offers do not disclose a
block of eight lots or 400 feet that can
be purchased for that sum. \ million
dollar building should be placed on the
face of an entire block, leaving some
room for parkage on either side.
Fortunately, Congressman Underwood
has secured from the treasury depart
ment the right to the holders of lots
available for the purpose mentioned to
submit bids until Congress meets next
December, and this extension may lead
no doubt a satisfactory choice can be
made.
1t may be prudent to submit other bids
of the treasury department may be sent
to Birmingham next month to investigate
the properties offered and his report may
have weight in the making of a decision
important to this city.
