With men it's belts, hats, shoes,
garters and neckwear.

the scalp and tight belts can bring
circulatory and other troubles in the
abdomen. h'9
Look out, for constructions of all
sorts.
At best they breed discomfort.

 OF BRITISH VESSEL
Proceedings Started Against
 Booze Carrier

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 9.-The government today began in the federal district court proceedings to seize the British schooner J. V. Young, which, with a cargo of 10000 gallons of alco- hol wa spicked up by a coast guard cutter within the three mile limit of the Louisiana coast recently,
 The libel alleges that the master of the vessel had sought to conceal the con traband jand introduce 1t into the com merce of the United States. This fact, it is alleged, was set forth by the clearance papers which were from Ha- vana Cuba, to a Spanish Honduran port, whereas the master had no in tention of going to that port. The cap tain and crew of five men were charged before a United States commissioner several days ago with conspiracy.
 The master of the vessel said the Young was blown to the Louisiana coast by a storm, and damaged gear tended to bear out the assertion. Fed eral officials here after a conference determined to permit the departure of the schooner under $104.000 bond, but when the master went before them to post it the proceedings were. suddenly halted by instructions from the treas ury department to hold the ship.
