CLlMA ATTIC CURES.

The influence of climatic con-
ditions i'm the cure of consumption
is very much overdrawn. The
poor patient. and the rich patient
too, can do much better at home by
proper attention to food digestion,
and regular use of German Syrup.
Free expectoration in the morning
is made certain by German Syrup,
so is a good nights rest and the
absence OF that weakening cough
and facilitating night sweat. Rest
less nights and the exhaustion due
to coughing, the greatest danger
and dread of the consumptive, can
be prevented or stopped by taking
German Syrup literally and regu-
larly. Should you be able to go to

Thomas w. Lawson who is writing
"Frenzied Finance" and publishing
his articles in Everybody's Magazine,
is now rapping the big insurance COM
panies. He takes up the New York
Life, the Equitable and the Mutual
Life, and he shows that these compan.
les now have about one billion of as
sets that they collect from their policy
holders-a about 200 millions annually,
and that they return to them in pay
ments of all kinds only about 100
millions, thereby making out of other
peoples money 100 millions yearly,
and that in each case the security of
the policy holders is nothing more nor
less than the honesty of one man in
each company, and that these great
companies are really managed by the
same people as the Standard Oil. 1t
has long been known that the greatest
drain, except taxes, which the people
suffer from, is life insurance, and but

fit their families.

rier found In small box on his route
two letters that were intended for the
owner of the box, and had been put
there by some one in passing. The
letters were confscated and sent to the
government at Washington, with are
quest for a ruling.
The government approved the action
of the carrier, and said that all mail
found in any box without stamps or
the proper amount of money for post
age must be collected and taken to the
postoff1ce from which the route is
operated and held for postage. This
ruling means that the owner of the
mail box has absolutely no control
over it.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent,

(From our Regular CORRESPONDENCE
Washington. ID, G., Jan. THE
President has scored one in his efforts
to bring Congress to terms on the sub.
ject of tariff revision and it now re.
mains to be seen how the Senate and
House leaders will avoid their 'plain
duty" which has been so forcefully
pointed out to them by the Chief Ex-
ecutive. On the day Congress re con-
yened after the Christmas HOLIDAYS.
the President permitted the announce
ment to be made that be was "serious-
ly considering" the ACCESSIBILITY of call
ing Congress in extra session to revise
the tariff. This information brought
the ''stand-patters" to their feet and
created CONSERVATION at the Capitol.
Senators and Representative had re.
turned to their homes for the HOLIDAYS
convinced that the President appre-
cIated the fut1lity of asking them to
lower any of the sacred Dingley
schedules and were aghast when they
learned that he was still determined
to force them to show their hands on
the tariff question. The leaders went
at once to the White House, singly, in
pairs and in gangs to urge the Presi.
dent not to take so rash a step as to
call them to Washington just at the
beginning of the heated term. The
only consolation they received was an
invitation to conference to consider
the subject and that conference will
be held this afternoon. What the out
come will be it is impossible to predict
but there is no doubt the President
will have to face some OF the widest
members of Congress and be will do
well if they do not get the better Of
him.
When members of Congress came to
Washington the first of December thew
found the President convinced that
the promises of lower duties made
during the campaign, "for political
purposes only" should be kept and that
the top rails " of the tariff fence should
be moved. He had gone so far on this
track, in fact, that his message, as
printed, contained the statement, II
will communicate with you on the
subject OF the tariff later" The high
priests of protection Immediately be-
sieged the White House and finaliy
persuade the President to send out to
the press associations an order to
strike from his message the line quoted.
Some of the newspapers had, however.
already printed the line so the Presi.
dents original intention of sending to
Congress special tariff message be-
came known in certain sections. The
next step was to persuade the Presi.
