(By Union Associated Press.)

The attorney-general department
of the State of Texas is receiving
numbers of inquiries relative to the
provisions of the new anti-pass law
which becomes effective next Satur-
day The general burden of the cor
respondence is to know whether the
writer's are eligible to use free trans
portation. There are many persons
who believe that they can scratch out
free transportation under the terms
of the amendment to the anti-pass law
and they are asking the attorney-gen-
eral so as to be real sure about it.

GAS AS CONSUMPTION CURE
Claim Made by English Physician
and Brought to the Attention Of
kIng-Reports Progress.

London.-lnterest Increases IN the
claim by DR.. Bryant of Thornton,
Bradford, that gases arising from
maggots and putref1ed flesh are a
cure for consumption, and during the
past week he has received about 400
letters from consumptives in England
and Scotland.
He has also been visited by many
people suffering from the disease,
especially from districts In Lanca-
shire, who desire to remain and sub
ject themselves to the treatment.
Most of these, however, have had to
be sent home, as he has already on
his hands as many patients as he
can accommodate. So numerous, In
deed, are these that they have to sit
IN the room where the gases are pro.
duced in their turns.
In every case Mr.. Bryant claims
the patients are making substantial
progress toward recovery. 1t has
been suggested that the gases should
be bottled and sent to consumptive
people so that they might be inhaled
at their homes, but for the time be-
Ing Mr.. Bryant is taking no steps in
that direction. The erection Of larger
premises at Thornton is delayed
pending the investigation by DR..
Kaye, the medical officer of the West
Riding of Yorkshire, who has been re-
uuested by John Burns to report on
.1e discovery.
This investigation will take place
ere long. and Mr.. Bryant awaits the
report with the utmost confidence.
1t may be mentioned that gentle
man who has taken keen interest
In the discovery has drawn the at
tention of the king to it, and he has
also written to the National Society
for the Prevention of Consumption.
Mr.. Bryant in the course Of con
versation stated that the members o!
the medical profession we're now TAX
ing his claim more seriously thar
they did at first. and some Of then
had acknowledged that they were
making experiments with trimethyla
mine and ammonia, the gases which
are supposed to effect the cures"

A good deal Of the tea consumed by
the working classes in the days when
Arthur Young complained of the ad-
diction to this luxury had never seen
either India or China. In one Of John
Ashtons works on England he cites a
case In which boy charged with
gambling stated that the money found
IN mis- possession had been made by
picking tea leaves. This led to the dis
covery that many persons made a liy-
ing by picking sloe leaves and white
thorn leaves in the fields near Gambler
well and selling them to local cow
Keeper for a penny pound. One man
said he picked from fifty to sixty
pounds day and always found a mar
ket for them. The leaves were subse-
quently sold to wholesale merchant,
who obtained as much as 8 shillings a
pound for them under the guise Of tea.
The merchant was prosecuted and
fined, not for adulteration. but for de-
frauding the revenue. And the "tea
