WILL TAX PET DOGS
HOME FROM ABROAD.
The Government Finds Authority to
Impose New Duty.

The treasury department has discov-
cred another clause in the tariff law
by which the nations revenue may be
increased. This Is clause under
which those sending abroad American
born animals must pay duty upon
their return to this country. 1t will
principally affect those sending racing
strings across the Atlantic and those
taking pet dogs over and back.
The decision to put the heretofore
unapplied clause of the law into effect
follows decision of the United States
district court in Texas. An American
contractor had been working many
horses and mules on the other side of
the Mexican border When the revolu-
ton came In that country he brought
his stock back into Texas. The Gus
toms officials sought to collect duty
upon 1t. This the contractor resisted.
The case went to the courts, and the
government won.
Section 500 of the free list of the
tariff act of 1909 provides under what
conditions articles Of American make
can be returned duty free after expor-
tation. This free list includes "arti-
cles the growth, produce or manufac-
ture of the United States, not includ
ing animals, when returned after hav-
ing been exported"
The mot including animals is the
clause under which the present action
is taken. 1t was included in the law
for the purpose of preventing those on
the border obtaining a revenue from
their animals in foreign country and
then bringing them back without the
government sharing in the revenue de-
rived from such foreign service. They
probably contemplated, customs eX
perts say, the application of the law in
this spirit and not to the letter Not
long ago the treasury department,
keeping to the letter of the law. con
fined the 500 duty free limit allowed
every resident returning from abroad
to embrace simply articles of personal
necessity. A storm of protest arose.
and the order was soon rescinded.
Under the tariff law foreign bred an
imals can be brought in duty free pro-
vided they are for breeding purposes,
but these must be of blue blood. for in
excluding them from the payment Of
duty the law contemplates the improv
ing of our own live stock. Such ami
mails may be also brought in without
the payment of duty for exhibition
purposes, provided they are placed in
bond.

Wise or Innocent?

He met her one night at a reception
and asked her to go to the theater
with him. She accepted, and, as they
liked each other, they went again later
Then it got to be weekly occurrence
Finally he got to thinking that he was
solid enough with her to go out be-
tween the acts, and so he did. For
several weeks he worked this and met
with no rebuff. But she was thinking
lot, even though she wasn't saying
anything.
One evening she said, "Why don't
you go to the smoking room to smoke
instead Of going to the lobby?"
Isis there a smoking room in
side?" he asked.
"Of course. You always say that
you are going out to smoke, and
1t seems so useless to have to take
your hat and coat every time And
IL you thought of 1t beforehand you
could buy those cigarettes that you
seem to hke-the ones that smell like
cloves, you knOw-before you come"
He Is wondering if she is as wise as
it seems or as innocent as it appears

House Numbers,

Before the advent of the house mum
Der only business signs, coats Of arms
and house names marked the different
buildings. Then, in London, for in
stance, one had to look for Mr.. Jones,
should he desire to call upon that man,
in. say, "Whitechapel, not far from
the Blue Boar" 1t is thought Berlin
in 1906 was the first city to employ
the numbering system. The German
innovators did not put odd numbers
on one side of their streets and even
numbers on the other. They merely
started from the Brandenburg gate
and numbered straight ahead, taking
no account of change of street. AS
they proceeded, therefore, the num-
bers grew higher, the height to which
they attained being limited only by
the supply of houses. The first house
they numbered was No. 1, the last the
number that betokened the total num-
ber Of houses in the city.-St Louis

FAMOUS SPECIALIST TELLS
WHY WOMEN HAVE NERVES
Came From Italy to This Country and
Got His Answer.

A famous Italian specialist, DR.. En-
rico Serafni, has been trying to find
out why women have nerves, and after
thorough studies in Europe he came
to the United States to seek the secret
here.
He has answered the question
promptly. The woman with all the di-
version she wants has so much more
than Nshe needs that she is headed
straight \ for the miseries of neuras-
thenia.
Neurastheniar, in its scientific perfec-
tion was found by Dr. Serahni to pre-
vail among Amelyican women Of
wealth and refinement. 1t Is worse
in Washington than In New York be-
cause Washington's activities are al
most wholly social, while New York in
spite Of its tremendous onrush OF en-
ergy mixes business and pleasure so
thoroughly that people have less chance
to suffer the monotony of continual
amusement.
Our very phase of neurasthenia is
peculiar. The Latin races become so
exhausted that they are limp with las
situde; the pure Saxons grow utterly
dull and torpid; the Americans are
overstimulated. as though they must
keep going on faster and faster. The
best thing to do with these human
comets is to condemn them to such
absolute rest and silence that they
won't even think
"The fundamental trouble that lies
back of good deal Of American neu-
rasthenia." DR.. Serafin says, sis the
lack of resource for genuine diversion
on the part Of both men and women.

CURE FOR BLINDNESS.
OouIst Tells Of Grating Portion o
Dogs Eye on a Humans.

oeuIist Tells of Grating Portion OF
Dogs Eye on Humans.
That a person totally blind from
ophthalmia. even from birth. can he
made to see by having a portion of
dogs eye grated on his own was the
startling communication made by Dr.
Borsch. an American oculist, in a pa
per read before q meeting Of the
French archaeological society at
Paris.
In the course Of his address the doc
tor explained that as a result of blind
ness from ophthalmia and from other
causes the cornea, which is the trans
parent membrane in the front of the
eye. becomes opaque. and in such a
case the only chance of restoring the
sight is to replace the defective corlea
by healthy one.
To perform this difficult operation
DR.. Borsch first operates on a dog
lays back from it's eye the conjunctiva
or skin of the eyeball surrounding the
cornea. removes a portion of the latter
and places it aside in blood serum.
He then performs the same opera
ton on the patients eye, removing a
part of the front of the eye of the
same size as the cornea taken from
the animal. The dogs cornea is then
placed in position on the human eye
and secured with stitches of the finest
possible silk, the surrounding skin.
which had been laid back, being
brought into place over the edge of
the cornea and also sewed.
The new graft unites with the eye
in a few days. aided by temporary
glass cover to keep it in shape and by
injections of the serum to stimulate
vitality.

SENATOR BOURNE
ON LEGISLATION
How to Prevent Misuse Of
Centralized Wealth.
COUNTRrS GREATEST PROBLEM
Substitution of Popular For Delegated
Government Suggested as the Solu-
tion--Steps by Which the End May
Be Accomplished.

Discussing means for securing eff
fective legislation preventing misuse
Of centralized wealth, Senator Jona-
than Bourne, Jr., said:
''The greatest problem before the
country is to make the people respon-
sible for the enactment of laws by
giving them power to legislate under
the initiative and to veto under the
referendum in case the legislative
branch of any state fails to truly rep
resent the general welfare of the peo-
pie and also to make the people re-
sponsible for the selection of public
servants under efficient primary and
corrupt practices laws, thus making
all public servants directly accounta-
BILE and responsive to the composite
citizen, individual unknown. The sub
stitution Of popular for delegated gov
ernment is rapidly accomplishing this
result, thus substituting general well
fare for selfish interest as the motive
power of government and goal of the
public servant.
What Trust Decisions Show.
"The recent decisions of the su-
preme court in the Standard Oil and
tobacco cases demonstrate that the
next greatest problem before the coun-
try is the enactment of legislation
which will provide broad, we'll defined,
legal avenues through which dynamic
mentality with centralized wealth can
operate with the greatest efficiency,
but with necessitated recognition Of
the general welfare of the people, the
rights of employees and employers,
tnsuring to the small stockholders
their proportionate share of the incre-
ment incident to the operation Of the
capital in the aggregation Of which
they have participated
GENERALIZATION Of people, government
and business is an economic evolution
incident to our civilization. Man can
not prevent but can provide legal ave
nues through which these great forces
must operate with the greatest benefit
to the general welfare and the least
injury to the individual.
iVbdi ChuCo De as
broad and we'll defined as possible, but
barriers should be erected along the
roadways providing for the imprison-
ment of any individual who attempts
to break through them. Ascertain
ment of existing methods and condi-
tons should be the first step; collation.
of opinions from practical employees,
employers and economic students the
second; analysis and deduction based
on the ascertainment and collation. of
