angostura bitters:
It will doubtless be interesting to
all users of these bitters and instruc-

not contain angostura bark but are
only named from the town in which
they were first made, Angostura, Ven

A representative of another bitters
importing company went before the
, ways and means committee and pro-
tested because in the present tariff
act, it is provided that all alcoholic
bitters except angostura bitters shall
pay duty of SIS a gallon and angos-
tura bitters only $3.50 a gallon.
MI. A. Edward Wupperman, repre-
senting J.. w. Wupperman, Inc. re-
piled that their angostura bitters
were the most expensive bitters In the
world and hence did not compete with
American bitters as other imported
bitters did.

The ways and means committee,
whose tariff bill was passed by the

with angostura bitters would provide

bitters. And it saw no reason why
angostura bitters should be taxed IS

washington, June 28.-You could
never guess, without being told, why
the house decided to place a tariff on
snake skins and to continue to give
angostura bitters a preferential rate
over other bitters.
Snake skins have recently come to
be used for shoes. handbags and other
leather articles, as well as women's
hats. clothes, collars and cuffs.
Angostura bitters have come to be
widely used In the making of cock
tails and arc consequently sold in
many delicatessen stores, although
they are put up and advertised as a
medicine good for the stomach.
The Keystone Reptile Tanners, Inc,
led the fight for the snake skin tariff
and managed to get q Is per cent ad
valorem duty on finished and dressed
snake leather for other purposes than
use In making footwear, snake leather
for that purpose being taxed only 10
per cent.
Huge Quantities Are Imported
This duty goes for all kinds Of
snakes, lizards, pythons, boa con-
strictors and other mean animals
whose hides are used for wear or
adornment. It was estimated that
about $4,000, 900 worth of this leather
was being imported each year.
The main ources Of supply are in
Indian, Asiatic islands and northern
Africa. It was contended before the
ways and means committee that when
one Of the large American firms went
into the reptile importing business
last year foreign reptile tanners re-
duced their prices here IS or 80 per
cent, indicating that they had been
eouging consumers.
American snakes have not yet been
developed to the point where they
are tit for tanning because their
scales drop Oft when the skins are
folded, so nearly all snake skins now
being worn are brought in from In
dia.
One learns with pride, however,
that the American snake may yet
demonstrate his utility. Experiments
are being made on snake farms in
Florida, Texas and Oklahoma with
TOO per cent American rattlers and
moccasins to see If they can't make
themselves as valuable as the Indian
