CHAFE AT NEW ORDER
Professional Smugglers Use New Friends to Bring in Goods.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31. The going Into effect of the new tariff law has
focused the attention of the people upon the customs service, and to think of the customs laws is to think of the adventurous old practice of smuggling, In some ways the most fascinating of branches r law breaking. Although smuggling is, of course, classed as a crime, nnd no doubt should be, it is not a moral crime. The world over, such a crime as murder is a crime with no mitigating influences to lessen the abhorence in which it is held universally. Murder is murder. It is a moral crime, a transgression against natural laws as opposed to those made by man. In fact, the decologue may be said to contain a list of those crimes which can be called purely moral crimes. Other transgressions are not particularly wicked In the minds of all people. Now tariff laws are man-made laws, and therefore, many people otherwise thoroughly moral, think it no great crime to smuggle over tbe line or into port some object on which men have imposed a duty. Furthermore, the punishment in almost all smuggling cases is administredem the shape of a fine rather than imprisonment, and as most of the people who have things valuable enough for It to be worth while to smuggle, have no great dread of a fine. These appear to be the reasons why smuggling Is so prevalent. Women as Smugglers. A Washington society woman, one who ha made many trips abroad, remarked the other day that the styles in morals and pure honesty appear to change as rapidly as do the styles in clothing, automobiles or battle ships. This woman is one of that interesting set at the national capital the members of which have been intimately accmainted with the irst people of the land for many years. The members of this set the wives and daughters of these In the highest councils of the land, the women who have presided at dinner tables, where the elect have gossiped know all the Inner workings of the game of smuggling as well as political intrigue and the higher diplomacy. This one declared that the styles In morals are unstable, told a story of how, some twenty years ago, she had returned to the United States with a party in which was a member of the president's cabinet and some members of congress, together with army and navy officers and diplomats. She asserts one and all of them, including the sworn officers of the government, looked the customs inspectors straight In the face and swore mat they had nothing dutiable in their trunks, when
j Latest Have Pockets For Feet
The sleeping porch has done more than change the appearance of Richmond houses. Of course, it has improved the appearance of some persons and made fanatics of others. But it has done more than that, too,. It has changed the style of sleeping clothes, boot to nightcap. And never were the styles in bed clothes the clothes you wear in bed more interesting than this year. Take the nightshirt. Maybe you thought there wasn't a man in Richmond who still wore a shirt to sleep in. Well, there are a good many such men. The modern nightshirt for sleeping outdoors in winter reaches to the floor, and beats anything on Petticoat Lane for slits. Has Footpockets. But the nightshirt slits are not a means of freezing the ankles. On that point the nightshirt wins over the ordinary slit skirt. Fore and aft in the bottom of it are footpockets. You put one foot in each pocket -and therefore neither you nor any one who happens to sleep with you needs to worry about cold fet. In nightdress women apparently do not like the slit skirt. But nightgowns for women have the footpockets. And pajamas they have been
t revolutionized too. It is not unusual
now for grown men and women to wear pajamas with feet in them a style confined to children a year or two ago. The pajamas and nightshirts both have higher necks than formerly, ; some even having a military collar, j But the military collar usually is made unnecessary by some kind of sleeping cap. Some of these make you appear as if wearing a Roman ; helmet. You put it over your head I and down over your shoulders insideof the collar, so that only your nose and maybe your mouth and eyes are; exposed to the cold. j And then there's the footmuff. It's ; a fur arrangement usually, and you . put both feet into it. It's really just a ; big, warm slipper built for two feet. ! Several other kinds of yarn, Angora j and other warm boots are on' the mar-
ket, and if the calves of your legs or your arms get cold after you've attended to your feet and your head, you can get things of the same materials made made just to keep them warm. The sleeping bag is here in greater variety than ever. Angora, eiderdown, fur of different kinds and wool are some of the materials. The sleeping porch blanket is a concern that simply buttons around you so you can't kick the covers off in the night.
SALTS IF BACKACHY AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots of water and stop eating meat for a while if your Bladder troubles you.
as a matter of fact, those trunks contained thousands of dollars' worth of dutiable articles. Smuggle No More. Last spring, she says, was the last time we came over. A couple of days before landing almost everybody on board . began discussing what they were bringing in. She stys they racked their brains to be certain they overlooked nothing, and upon landing declared every single dutiable article and paid the tax on it. She attributes this change of action to a change in the code of ethics. While the sworn officers of the government thought nothing of smuggling in several thousand dollars' worth of merchandise twenty years ago, the humblest person aboard would have scorned to failed to declare the most inconsequental article last spring. This woman tells an interesting tale concerning a certain secretary of the navy, who was in office not so very long ago. At the time the affair occurred, she says her husband, a naval officer, was na'val attache at the
United States embassy in Paris. Well, the secretary dropped in over there one day, and, of course, called at the embassy. He was there for dinner, in fact, and later in the evening a United States treasury agent dropped around. During the course of the evening the secretary and the treasury agent i-eld a conversation which was overheard unintentionally by the naval attache's wife, the lady who tells the story. Afterward she extricated fuller details from her husband. Sends Across Cigarettes. The secretary while abroad had become particularly fond of a certain brand of Russian cigarettes. Free in the United States they would cost about a cent apiece. The secretary had asked the treasury agent what he should do about it. The treasury agent passed the buck to the naval attache. So the cigarettes were brought to the embassy, thousands of them, and were sent by the naval attache, by mail in franked envelopes to the secretary of the navy at Washington, in small packages until all were across.

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region It generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-; come sort of paralyzed and loggy. ! When your kidneys get sluggish and i
clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been tised for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts Is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effervescent lithia-water drink. (Advertisement!

How the Hoosier Cabinet Saved Miles of Steps THIS kitchen before being remodeled caused miles of steps every day. It is 16 feet long and 12 feet wide. The table was taken out, the pantry changed slightly and a Hoosier Cabinet added. Now tbe Hoosier is the center of everything with a splendid light. The old pantry is the refrigerator room with outside icing. To prepare a meal this housekeeper takes food from the ice-chest to the cabinet, where she works without a step; then to the stove and din log room. Returning, soiled dishes go to the sink then to their shelves. She has her work done in hours less time tha before she had her Hoosier.
