ISLE OF ST. THOMAS.

ONE OF the first blessings which
.Ocame to St Thomas. after Its trans
fer to the sovereignty OF the United
States was prohibition Along with
prohibition came a greatly increased
sale OF bay rum. and about the same
time 1t was widely rumored that a
number Of persons had been made Ill
by using bay rum internally.
One manufacturer OF bay rum was
made so indignant by this charge that
he had his product analysed by a
chemist and published the results n
a local newspaper, proving conclusive
" that bay rum is just as harmless
when applied to the lining Of the
stomach as when used on the scalp
The editor Of the opposition paper
took issue with him, not on the
ground that bay rum was poisonous
but contending that to drink this
famous product was a violation Of the
most ancient traditions OF the island
island for zoo years, ii had never been
drunk before, and even the most
burning thirst was no justification for
wasting bay rum by swallowing it.
But this conservative seems TO be
getting the worst Of the argument
Most OF the St ThOmasians find IS
percent bay rum a satisfactory sub
stitute for percent beer.

rum booms where booze lies buried"
