Boiled Tea Ciues Kick
 To Natiues of Tunisiia

GABES, Tunsia, June 10.-Five Arabs with eleven camels were ar rested on the Tripoli-Tunisia bor- der, near here, by French police, and the camels' cargo confiscated.
 The cargo consisted of two tons of tea. This Is the Tunisian sub stitute for moonshine liquor.
 Liquor prohibition is easily en- forced in Tunis as Mohammedans constitute nine-tenths of the popu- lation and alcohol is disapproved by the Koran.
 But the Koran says nothing about tea, and the natives have learned to get a kick" from tea-by boil ing it until it is a yeritable poison. So the authorities placed moun- tainous tariff on tea.
 The tea smugglers were trying to evade this tariff. They had to sell four of their camels to get money for their fines.
