TOOK TOO MUCH FOR GRANTED
How Sir Andrew Clarke. by Hasty
Prescription, Taught Patient
to Smoke

The late Sir Andrew Clarke was
so ardent in his crusade against over.
eating and overdrinking, and so firm
in his belief that in a large majority
of cases diet would do far more than
drugs, that he was a little too much
inclined to take 1t for granted that
his patients were self-indulgent TO the
ruin OF their health Among the
many anecdotes 10 which his views
gave rise the following is one OF the
most amusing:
was at once overwhelmed with dirso-
tons on the subject of the life he
should lead and the diet to which he
should adhere. Now, remember,
only one glass OF wine at each meal"
the physician concluded, and just
one cigar after dinner won't hurt you
Good morning. Be sure you keep
strictly to one cigar"

necessary for your health"
The patient heaved a deep sigh
"All right, Sir Andrew Since you
insist, will do my best Good morn
ing"
He went his way, but his health did
not improve. and at the end of few
weeks he returned to the physicians

No better?" said the doctor, sur

NEW MEMBERS
OF CONGRESS-
LEARN ROPES
men Who WILL SERVE FIRST
TERMS SEE HOUSE WORKING
TAKING IT FOR GRANTED TARIFF
WILL OCCUPY MOST OF TIME
THEY STUDY THE QUESTION
THOROUGHLY.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23-Several
of the men who will begin their in
itial terms as members of the house
of representatives when the special
session of the 63rd congress convenes
in April, 1913, spent a couple of
weeks here recently for the purpose
of learning through personal observa-
ton and inspection just how business
is done at the national capital.
Believing that the tariff question
will monopolize the center of the
stage in the next house, these new
congressman devoted most of the
time during their visit to the col
lection of information bearing on the
tariff. Not only did they gather the
usual stock of knowledge-re reports,
comparative tables, court decisions,
etc.-but they also wandered into
hooks and corners seldom explored
by those who do not claim to be
tariff experts. They learned many in
teresting things not generally known.
They became aware of the fact, for
example, that some of our captains
of industry do not hesitate to beat
the tariff laws, if they can do so.
The new congressman learned-to
cite one specific instance of the kind
that the treasury department not
long ago was compelled to decide
that rail of steel is not a steel
rail-" The decision was brought
about by the discovery that certain
importers were bringing into this
country the finest kind of high-speed
steel made up into the form of rails
Instead of paying the rates for fine
grades of steel, they were paying the
low duties on ordinary rail steel. The
The Daytona daily news. [volume] (Daytona, Fla.) 1903-1926, 1912-12-23

matter was settled by ruling that
quality, not form, shall determine
whether or not rails of steel are
steel rails.
There are other ways of beating"
the law, however. Opium is one of
the cases in point Congress passed
a law shutting out opium when pre-
pared for smoking. Crude opium,
nevertheless, is still admitted to our
ports, and that is why there is
plenty of smoking opium in the
how to get it. 1t did not take the
importers very long to learn that
they could make a smokable article
out of the crude stuff. Not including
the Chinese. it is said there are
nearly 100000 habitual opium smok-
ers in this country, most of them
now smoking the "makeshift DOPE
which, it is claimed, is far more dan
gerous than the purer brand excluded
by law.
Absinthe, the French dope" drink,
was shut out recently under the law
which forbids the importation of
foods and drinks injurious to health.
Dealers, it is rumored, are preparing
to wink at the law. Experiments
have shown that fair substitute for
absinthe can be made from oil of
worm wood. The fake absinthe will
be sold as the real thing, it is said,
to all who feel that they must have
their favorite stimulant
Cigars in quantities less than 5000
our future law makers learned, are
refused admittance to our ports of
entry. No one could give them a
reason for this rule. A veteran
clerk of the treasury department
thought the rule dated back to Civil
war days. He presumed that cigar
dealers along the border, who were
anxious to exclude competition from
/ Canadian sources, might have had a
hand in framing the enactment.
/ The reason for shutting out the
eggs of game birds caused no end
of comment. The regulation govern
ing these eggs, it appears. had its
origin in a remarkable myth which
was to the effect that millions OF
j eggs of wild ducks, geese, and other
wild fowl, were annually gathered
in Alaska and also in the British
possessions and shipped over the
Canadian Pacific railroad to points
on the east, where they were manu-
featured into egg albumen for use
j.. by bakers and confectioners anC
for other purposes.
The simple truth is that no indus
try of the kind ever existed. In
vestigation has proved, the congress
men were told. that not a single
shipment of eggs of ducks or othe,
wild fowl was ever forwarded oyeI

THE LIBRARY

Let us hope that the reports OF
the soliciting committee of the
Learners Club, who are working IN
the interest of a library project, will
be entirely favorable. This is some
thing that will surely appeal to the
large number of cultured people in
our city. In lending our own per-
'sonal efforts in aid Of the library LEI
us remember that we derive pleasure
in two ways. There will be the
pleasure of having access TO the
books; and the pleasure that each
will feel in knowing he has helped
to make it possible for all others to
have access to them. Brownsville is
second to no city in the South of the
same size, in its love for music, art,
literature, and civic beauty.
Let us give to the community and
to each other the benefits of a choce,
well-selected library.

 Mexican Herald: The building of the Association for the Protec- ton of Homeless Boys, was form- ally inaugurated last evening, the occasion being graced by the atten- dance of the president of the re- public and MT. Madero. One hun dred boys are now cared for at the home every night and provided with bath and bed, supper and breakfast and are given instruction in the evening. The home is located at Ga. Calle de Donceles, No. 143, a large old three story structure that will lend itself to still further addi- tional equipment. It is also the am- bition of the association to establish other houses of similar character in other parts of the city. When the president arrived last evening at 8 o'clock the boys of the home were lined upin double file from the entrance, all arrayed in their even ing clothes, that is to say, in their spotless white pajamas.
 Mexican Herald: In the Co. lonia de la Bolsa, Colonia Santa Julia and other remote districts of the capital, the police have dis covered that the merchants of masa, of which tortillas are made, have been grinding the cob with the grain of the corn. Several Arrests have been made as the result of the investigations of the police of the secret service division who were detailed on the case. Attention of the police was called to the matter by the Superior Board of Health, the physicians of the board having noticed the unusual number of deaths caused by stomach troubles. The proprietor of one of the mills for the grinding of masa has been arrested, with the additional charge placed against him of attempting to bribe the secret police not to act in his case. In some of the places separate machinery was found, which was used for the purpose of grinding the cobs this product being mixed with the regular masa after it had been bleached with caustic soda.
