lpunto mas concurrido de las Anti

donde Sc surtfa Europa, de las cosas

darse a la casa de que habia sido So
cio y representante en- Puerto Rico el
padre de Degetau. Aquella casa de
banca, era una de las mas fueftes de
la riqufsima isla veeina.
El jefe de la casa, trato con toda
deferencia y agasajo cumplidamente a
la viuda del socio que en- Borinquen
! falleciera cuando Sc hallaba en- pIena
felicidad, victima de la terrible fiebre

Bien sabian ALI, que entire los deli
rios de la fiebre, cuando tenia momen-
tos de lucidez, estaba pendiente. el en-
fermo de los asuntos que la casa lie

que para no olyidar el dia en- que de-

El Sr. que en- Saint Thomas tan
amablemente atendio a Dona Consue-

de contraer matrimonio, ef socio De-

carta particular diciendole que habia

Hoy hay dos destructores

La ciencia dental, tras de largas investi-
gaciones, ha descubierto dos destructores
de la pelfcula, Uno La coagula; el otro la
elimina. Competentes especialistas han
demostrado{ ampliamente su efcacia. Y
hoy los principales dentistas del mundo
aconsejan su uso diario.
Sc ha perfeccionado una nueva pasta
dentffrica, preparada a base de las investi-
gaciones hechasA por eminentes dentistas.
Produce cinco efectos que hoy Sc con-
sideran esenciales, elimina varios Antiques

Esta pasta dentifrica Sc llama Pepsodent.

situation generally as 1t related to

The amount of money available for
the fair this year will mean a cur.
tailment of spending. there being but
$14 900 to spend. The premium list,
upon which a large portion OF the
appropriation is used. must of neces-
sity be cut down, but 1t is expected
hat a Reconsideration and abridge-
ment can be worked out that will lot
materially lessen tho quality or
quantity of the exhibits
A factor that will greatly aid this
year viii be the help hat the county
agents will render in stimulating in

LICENSE CASPER
DRIVERS

It is about time that those who
drive automobiles in Casper should
be licensed. Most cities. at least
most large cities. ave a licensing
system, and II would be well to In
roduce the custom here.
There is every reason IN favor Of
such a move. and no good reason the
Tribune can think OF against It. For
the safety of the public, for tho moral
eiec on the careless driver. and for
such revenue. over though slight. as
It would bring into the city treasury
the plan is admirable
There is entirely too much careless
driving hero, and the system of IL
censing every person who is entitled
to operate a car. whether it is a truck
or a private machine, is the only eff.
fective check against h inclplent
murderer. A nominal fec could be
charged. Of say rs cents or so cents.
This would bring in quito a few hun.
dred dollars TO Cssperis Golfers. But
that is not the main reason for tho
license system.
II a man knows hat he must have
a license in order to drive = a and
that If he is repeatedly careless and
reck,essly d%isregards tho ordinary
rules of human safety he may have
that license revoked. that knowledge
is going to make him more careful.
That there are not more accidents
in all cities is only the result of agil.
ity and care on the part Of the pedes.

who steps on her" and loudly
sounds his horn that he doesn't hit
anybody. He doesn't hit them either
because his aim is poor. or because
the public has been trained to leap
lightly aside and thereby avoid INJURY
or death at the hands of just such
fools as he.

And II a man is arrested several
tines for reckless driving. take away

'REED BIRDS ON TOAST

TO THE GLORY OF
CANADA

Study of the supreme COURT. de-
cision granting to United States
vessels the privilege of selling In
toIicatins beverages outside the three
mile limit. and taking from both for.
eisn and American vessels the privi-
lege of carrying such liquors. even
under seal. within the three mile
limit, leads to the conviction that
Canada is soon to blossom with new
glory.

fortune. Americas moral weakness.
as exemplihed in the prohibition laws.
is to BIO Canada's economic strength.
That is to be the outstanding result
of our legislation.
As things have been going on the
high seas and in port, since the de.
cision that American ships could not
sell liquor even in midocean. there
has been comparatively little effect
upon the total amount of shipping
to n from our chief ports. Pas
senger travel on United States Ship
ping Board vessels has fallen of and
travel on foreign lines touching our
ports has increased proportionstely.
But hat is all. Wet Americans and
foreigners simply mad 1t q point to
ship on wet vessels.
There is every likelihood that they
will continue to do so. But there Is
this difference: Under the supreme
court ruling there can be no wet
vessels sailing from American ports;
but there can and will be from Cana
dian ports. It follows that our wet
travellers will take ship from Mon
treal. Quebec or Halifax rather than
from New York. 1t follows again
that moro foreign vessels win make
these ports their terminus.
Middle western travellers can
travel by train to Montreal almost as
cheaply and quickly. and fully as
comfortably as to New York. There
they will be closer to Europe than
they would be at New York. At
Halifax they would be = day nearer
Europe. and at Quebec almost q day
nearer. It Is sn cas- way out. Thou
sands upon thousands of passengers
will take 1t. 1t will mean millions
of dollars profit to the Canadian
ports.
ITO be sure. both American and
foreign vessels could circumvent the
law by establishing floating liquor
warehouses outside the three mile
limit to pick up their supply Of drinks
when outbound. but hat would be
dicicult and expensive. They could
touch at Halifax for a supply. but
that also would take time and money.
1.-THE easy way is for such ships as
can to sail from wet ports. We have
little doubt that they will do so,
and tina they will have as full book
ings as If they sailed from New York.
