The Herald reports at a New York meeting of the American Society for the Study of Alcohol that gluttony may drive intoxication. Dr. Kress advocates six months on a vegetable diet to erase alcohol and tobacco tastes, while Dr. Benton argues modern overfeeding poisons nerves, contributing to drink. Observations link slum nutrition, irregular meals, and drunkenness, plus notes on X-ray powered pearl detection and Nez Perce bank ownership amid Indian uprisings.

Tells Tariff Plan Would Cut Tax On People
The finance committee explains a tariff plan to raise revenue while sparing classes from heavy duties. The 1909 receipts are projected at $605,047,230 with a deficit of $68,462,460. For 1910 appropriations total $1,044,000,000 minus specific deductions, yielding an expected outlay near $700,000,000. The senate bill’s revenue impact is compared to the 1897 act using 1907 imports, showing $8,000,000 more under the senate bill due to higher rates on luxury goods and ad valorem duties.
