1t is now q "NoStrum,"
though at first it was com
pounded after a prescription
by a regular physician, with
no idea that it would ever go
on the market as a proprie-
tary medicine. But after
compromising that prescrip-
ton over a thousand times in
one year, we named it "Piso's
Cure for Consumption" and
began advertising small
way. A medicine known all
over the world is the result.
Why is it not just as good
as though costing fifty cents
to a dollar for a prescription
and an equal sum to have it
put up at a drug store?

To Fight the Sugar Schedule.

prominent southern Senator, whose con-
stituents are interested in the production of
sugar, said this morning that a vigorous
fight would be made on the sugar schedule
as reported by the ways and means COM
mittee when the bill came before the Sen
ate. From what he said it can be assumed
that the Senators from the sugar states will
oppose the Endorsement of the bounty sys-
tenn, and will fight TO the bitter end the
tariff that has been fixed upon sugar.
This Senator stated that a determined effort
would be made in the Senate to change the
bill in this particular, that the bounty
feature will be eliminated and a tax Of not
less than 3-S cents placed upon refined
sugar and 81 cents on raw sugar. The
conditions of the sugar industry, he said,
were misunderstood by the people of the
United States. The demands of the sugar
growers were in accordance with the prin-
cipies of the democratic party, for It's adop-
ton would result in revenue tariff. The
admission Of raw sugar free enabled the
refneres to import their product to the ex-
clusion of the domestic article. and was
against every principle of taxation from
the foundation Of the government, for the
reason that sugar had been on the dutiable
list since 1892 when 1t was placed there by
Hamilton. and where it had remained down
to the Mckinley act.

In the Presentation of the Tariff Bill
to the House.
There is possibility that the democrats
will not be able to begin the consideration
of the tariff bill in the House as soon as
they designed to. BY the terms of the reso-
luton, which permitted the ways and
means committee to sit during the recess,
the republicans were insured a period of
ten days after getting the majority bill
in which to prepare their minority bill.
The Wilson bill was given to them on
Wednesday, but they may have grounds
for claim that the whole bill was not
furnished them in accordance to the implied
terms of the resolution, since the state
ment and estimates which should accompa-
ny the bill which is necessary to the prepa-
ration Of report was not then finished and
has not yet been completed. The whole
committee Is to meet on Monday, when II
Is thought this statement will be ready.
1t Is not improbable that the republicans
Will claim that their ten days will be not
until then. II this claim were made and
sustained, the measure could not be taken
up in the House before Wednesday, the 10,
which would leave but little time before the
Christmas holidays OF course. there Is
no chance of passing the bill before the
holidays, even IL taken up earlier than
that.
Meanwhile, the internal revenue features
of the bill have not been added to yet
and there is a possibility that they will be
carried in a separate measure. II the bill

A CHARITY CONTRIBUTION.
NO One Could Solve Saks a. Co.'s
Prison Cell Puzzle


Some time ago Messrs Saks & Company,
through their advertising manager, Mr.. G..
A. Lewis, distributed as an advertisement
large number OF copies Of a puzzle, known
as "Boyer's Prison Cell Contest" Offering
premium of 800 for a successful solution
of this interesting problem. Thousands of
solutions were submitted to the firm. but
none Of these were correct. and a check
for this 500 has been turned over to the
superintendent Of police to be distributed in
coal among the poor of the District. The
letter accompanying the check from Saks
Company is as follows:
Col. w. G. Moore:
Dear Sir: We beg to hand you herewith
our check for 800 (the same being the
amount of the unearned prize offered by
US Tor the correct solution of Boyer's Prison
Cell Puzzle), with the request that you will
apply 1t to the purchase of coal to be dis
trlbuted In Quarter-ton lots among the most
needy and deserving poor of this city.
Feehns confident that you will willingly
lend your assistance to further our aim
that the greatest good may result in the
most sincerely. SAKS & co.
The check has been accepted by Maj.
Moore, who promises to see that IL will
be spent where 1t will do the most good
during the cold weather For the salts
faction OF those who may doubt the POSSIBLE
ity or properly solving the puzzle, Mr.
Lewis has made affidavit, a COPY of
which he has sent to The Star to the effect
that he has himself seen the puzzle correctly
solved by its author in accordance with
published directions. In his letter Mr.
Lewis says that while Messrs Saks &
Company regret that 1t fell to the lot of
none OF their patrons to gain the prize
this disappointment is in a measure Offset
by the satisfaction Of knowing that the
money will go toward relieving the distress
In this city. The manner of bestowal will
they trust meet with the sanction Of the
public.
