You Must
Sleep.

If you cannot, it is due to an
irritated or congested state OF
the brain, which will soon de-
velope into nervous prostration.
Nature demands sleep, and
it is as important as food; it
is a part of her building and
sustaining process. This period
of Inconsistencies relaxes. the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore ex-
hausted vitality.
DR.. Miles Nervine brings
refreshing sleep, because it
soothes the irritation and re-
moves the congestion.
1t is also a nerve builder; it
nourishes and strengthens ev-
cry nerve in your body, and
creates energy in all the organs.
Nothing will give strength
and vitality as surely and

OAILs 1T FREE TsapE.

Representative John Dalzell, of
Pennsylvania, scored the action in
most vigorous terms. he called it
free trade" and "a sight for gods
and men" and said that Congress
had never acted and never intend
ed to act. There are many pro-
tests from American shipbuilders.
Senators Scott and Burrows,
high. tariff Republicans, called on
Secretary TAFT.

litical funeral. Mr.. Secretary, F"
said Senator Scott.
Cant come to my fureral with
out bringing flowers, and l see no
flowers" replied the Secretary.
Mr.. Taft said that he would stand
by the action TO the very end. He
told has callers there was no reason
why the Government should pay a
quarter more for material made in
America CT pay FOR two ships mere
sum that would buy four ships
in Europe.
Mr.. Dalzell said:
IL dislike very much to assume
the role of critic of policies adopt
ed by leaders of my party. If
Secretary Taft is correctly report
ed he is advocating policies which
are exceedingly unwise.
Zone proposition is that the
United States Government shall
buy foreign ships. Another propo-
sition is to array foreign markets
in competition with our home
market. 1t is doubtless true that
cheap foreign labor is able to pro-
duce many things at less cost
han they can be produced by labor
at an American wage rate. But
that is no reason why an Admins
tration which came into power
upon a protection platform should
advocate the free trade doctrine, of
buying where you can buy the
cheapest. or 10 encourage cheap
foreign labor as against our own
high-priced labor.

Thoro investigation Of the reasons
behind applications for permits exempt
ing children under 16 years Of age from
compulsory school attendance in order
that they may work, is to be made by a
special officer Of the Minneapolis board
Of education.
Frequent cases in which children have
been deprived Of educational advan-

cial truant officer whose duty it shall be
to Investigate all applications for per-
mits. .s...
Heretofore this work has been in the
hands Of the principals Of the various
schools. They found little time to
conduct Investigations, and it was seen
that in many cases they unavoidably
alienated pupils. When an applica-
ton was made for permit a principal
would go to the home to see if the
child assistance was really needed
The children would always learn Of the

ing their views before the honorable
ministers. t <.
Here there was no demand for reduc-
tion of the tariff on any article. Sew
eral witnesses asked that the tariff on
certain articles be left alone, as those
interested were quite satisfied with
the protection afforded. But the great
majority of those appearing before the
commission, with one accord, shouted
"Higherl higherl higher!" Here is an
instance: H. B. Grainer, representing
the Dominion Cartridge company, linn
tied, declared that under the present

the British preference reduced to 20
per cent. English houses were secur-

for a specific duty, as shells and powder
were sold at a considerably higher
price in England than in Canada. In
England they had 9 wealthy sporting
class who were willing to pay fancy
prices for articles with fancy names.
He declared that most Of the shells sent
out to Canada were remnants Of con-
tracts, of which the manufacturers had
to dispose, at all costs.
