WANT TANSAN ON FREE LIST

Congress Urged to Take Duty fromJapanese Healing Water

From special dispatch to the New York

Washington 4ug 8 Prominent phy-

sicians from Philadelphia and alllargo cities of the country are preparing-at the beginning of the next session ofCongress to urge that the famous Jap-

anese healing water known as Tansanbe put on tho free lIst This water which-

it Is assorted comes exclusively from anatural spring in Japan and cannot bemanufactured in this country Is In thePayne tariff law subject to a tariff ashigh as other mineral waters whichmight compote with American waters

In the closing days of Congress wheninterest was centered on a few articles onwhich tho President was demanding reductions Dr Edward Bedloe well knownin Philadelphia and Washington submit-ted to Senator Warren a second petitionsigned by Ore S Weir Mitchell J

White John B Deavor Lewis Brinton James C Wilson Hobart A HareEdward Martin Ernest La Place JohnG Clark W Joseph Hearn Max JStern Samuel Wolfe Helen Murphy AJ Downs W B Van Lennop and scoresof other doctors representing all themedical schools colleges and hospitals InPhiladelphia praying that for philan-thropic and humanitarian reasons thehealing water as an article that

with no American equivalent boadmitted free of duty

The petition urges that efforts be madeat the next session to have joint reso-lution similar to that Introduced by Sen-

ator McCumbor at the last moment putthrough Congress amending the Paynelaw in this one respect The petitionstates that even without tariff duties thefreight charges from Japan are already sohigh as to make Tttnsan water a luxury-so far as many patients of moderatemoans are concerned and those argu-ments combined with the widespread In-

terest manifested among medical menthroughout the country Incline Dr Bedlos to be hopeful of success In the nextCongress

Using n LifepreserverFiwn the derebad Plain Dealer

The worst trouble about a lifepreserver said an old sailor on tho steamer LC Hanna not long ago is that few peo-

ple know what to do with one when itsthrown to them Many a man woulddrown trying to get a llfepreeerver overhis head The average oarson strugglingabout in the water would try to lift upthe big life ring and put It over his headThat only causes the man to sink deeperand take water into his lungs

Tho proper way to approach a lifepreserver In the water is to take hold at theside nearest you and press upon it withall your weight That causes the fartherside to fly up In the air and down overyour head ringing you as neatly as aman ringing a cane at a county fair Aft-er that mister drowning man can be res-cued

to him either as an undergraduate-or interne or student helper The grad-uate physicians and older men resentedthis assumption of authority This wenton until six or eight weeks ago whenthe offended members of the staff wereon the verge of leaving the institution

Dr Barnes intervened and it is saidwent to Mr Brock and asked him tocease his attentions to Miss Henaon anddesist in his assumption of authority overthe graduates and internee It is

by those in a position to knowthat Mr Brock declined to desist in hisattentions to Miss Henson and announced that he intended to conduct him-self in the future as in the past

This position on the part of Mr Brockforced Dr Barnes to call the attentionof the board to the matter with the ex-pressed purpose of having Mr Brockdropped from the rolls of the hospitalIn thfs ho was unsuccessful as the oeddid not consider the matter of eufhetentseriousness to drop Mr Brock

They Took a VacationLater Mr Brock and Miss Benson went

away on a vacation and it was at thistime they were married it is said Upontheir return the position assumed by MrBrock was more distasteful than before
