NATURE IS OVEBKIND TO THE OVERWEIGIIT

A stout chap was being teased by a friend because of his overweight. From an athletic youth he had ac- quired what is known as “the middle age spread."

"Well," he answered, “I was vis- iting a friend in the hospital last Week. saw hundreds of men and women down there, and I did no; see a. fat one in the whole crowd. Now this comes very close go being absolutely correct, because for a considerable period the,” who are fat or overweight are usually quite healthy.

(National Revenue Review)

Old-time smugglers operating in the lmglish Channefearly In the 19th century displayed a cunning which made the work of Bruin: revenue officers difficult and often dangerous. And to make matters

worse public sympathy was fre- quently on the side of the smug- glers.

A favorite method of conceal- ment ln the short run from France to lfngland was to rope a. number of kegs of liquor together into a raft weighted with stones and to tow this raft under water. when close to shore the raft was allowed to grolmd and was anchored tn piece ready to be canted ashore after dark when the tide was out. As this form of concealment. however, became known, the smug- glers resorted w more elaborate schemes. schooners were fitted with false bottoms which had n0 connection whatever with the 1111581’- ior of the vessel, and so could not be discovered by (he revenue offl- cers, no matter how thoroughly they searched, the ship's Anterior- In order to obtain the kegs the vessel had to be beached, then when the tide was out, several two- inch planks were removed from the bottom. In this way One hun- dred half-ankers of’ rum were often. smuggled in at a single voyage. Af- ter this device had been uncover- ed, revenue officers often required suspicions craft to be beached to undergo a thorough examination. Even small open boats were often found to have false bottoms and sides, and the oars found to be hollowed and Whable of carrying a fair quantity of spirits.
