SAN JUAN, Porto Rico.—Efforts
are being made by the Porto Rican
authorities to check the use as bev- ^
erages of tonics, perfumes and lo-1
tions containing alcohol. The insular I
treasurer, Jose C. Benedicto, and ’
Dr. del Valle Sarraga of the health
department rcently asked the house j
of representatives to enact legis
lation to prevent the use of such
concoctions as intoxicating drinks.
Mr. Benedicto pointed out that it
was legally permissible to use alco
hol for industrial purposes, under
certain regulations, so that any in
dividual could prepare a formula,
have it approved by the treasurer |
and the health department, and sell
it freely throughout the island. The- i
oretically. these preparations were'
not for internal consumption and !
were harmful to the health, but in
practice it had been found that they
were being drunk in alarming quan
tities, he said. Their sale could
not very well be stopped, as they!
were permitted by law.
‘•Before prohibition went into
force here.” said Mr. Benedicto,
. “the alcohol used for industrial pur
poses in Porto Rico amounted to
between 7,000 and 9,000 quarts a
month, whereas during one month
recently no less than 56.000 quarts
were used.”
There were two methods of deal
ing with the question through the
legislature, said Mr. Benedicto. Eith
er by seizing all those preparations
which were being used as a drink,
although manufactured under in
sular permits, or by increasing the
quarterly license to manufacturers
to $200 instead of the $25 now be
ing imposed, which would enable
only the larger firms to manufac
ture such preparations and would
take them out of the reach of the
general public.
Dr. del Valle informed the house
of the measures which had already
been adopted to prevent the use of
such tonics for drinking purposes.
At first, he said, wood alcohol had
been introduced into these prepara
tions, but in view of the terrible
effects it produced, this had been
stopped, for they would simply be
leading those people who drank the
preparations into total blindness.
The other chemicals which had been
introduced in order to make the
lotions nauseous to the stomach had
not been very successful, for means
had been found by the people of
filtering the liquids and otherwise
getting rid of such ingredients.
It is declared that, although ab
solute prohibition has been enforced
in the island for a year, the police
daily are discovering stills for the
distillation of alcohol.
NOTICE.
Notice is hereby given that, pur
suant to an act of the territorial
legislature, there is hereby made,
imposed and levied upon each male

J. A. SLIPPERX,

Notwithstanding the fact that
funds for the prosecution of rail
road work are very limited, pending
an additional appropriation by Con
gress, there has been no apparent 1
curtailment of activities in this divi
sion thus far. On the contrary, the
payrolls of the Alaskan Engineering
commission show a substantial in
crease in the number of employes
during the past week. The force
report for the period ended July 12
shows a total of 592 at work in this
division, which is a gain of 25 over
the previous week. A decrease of
12 in the number of stationmen is
noted, but this is offset by an in
crease of 21 in the number of sta
tionmen laborers. Forty-nine horses
are reported as in use during the
week, and one idle. One horse died
during the period under review.

STRAr DOGS.
Three stray dogs have come to
my place, two miles below town,
within the last few days—two on
July 2 and one on July 3—and are
being cared for by me pending the
appearance of their owners, who can
recover the dogs by paying for their
board. One is a small white bobtail
dog, one a black dog with long tail,
and the other a bobtail malamute,
with gray and white spots.
