the following statement:

I am a boiling caldron of indignation

A western congressman, speaking in
Massachusetts. warned the manufac-
turers of that state that if they sue
ceeded in putting wool on the free list
the western wool growers would insist
on putting woolens on the free list
The wooden manufacturers are suffer
ing for free raw material. and farmers
who keep sheep claim that they have
been badly damaged by free wool once
and will resist it again. There are mil
lions of US in the country, says the
Waterbury American, who do not man
ufacture woolens nor raise sheep. We
are simply consumers of woolens. We
outnumber many times over all the
wooden manufacturers and wool grow
ers together. But nobody seems to con-
slider how we would be affected by free
wool and the resulting cheaper wooIens
We belong to the class described long
ago by Prof. Sumner as the forgotten
man: the unprotected average citizens
who constitute the great majority of
the American people. who make no
fuss, but pay something extra for pro-
lection to others on everything they
consume, with only an occasional

THE STOMACH IN WINTER
Hearty Food Puts Extra Strain on
This Important Organ.

Winter is a little more than half
over, and the results of its hearty
food are shown in the variable appe-
tite. nausea. gnawing at the pit of the
stomach, heartburn, saIlow skin,
furred tongue, headache. backache,
and sIeeplessness. The stomach has
been overworked, the nervous system
is unstrung, the blood is in bad con-
dition, the digestive organs are tired
out.
1t is at this season of the year that
Mi-o-na, the only remedy known that
gives strength to the stomach and d.
gestive organs, is of especial value.
Mi-o-na is not a hit-or-miss cure,
but is an unusual combination of
remedies that makes it infallibIe in
restoring health to the stomach and
digestive system. Tt overcomes any
acid condition that may be present in
the stomach and intestines, soothes
and heals the irritated mucous MEM
brane, has a stimulating effect on the
solar-plexus. and combines peculiar
properties that strengthen the nerves
of the stomach and puts the whole
digestive system in so healthy, clean
and sweet a state that fermentation of
the food cannot exist. any disease
germs in the stomach will be de-
stroyed, and the digestive system viii
be so strengthened that it will extract
from the food all the elements that
make solid bone. firm muscle, and
pure blood. It is a guaranteed cure
for all diseases of the stomach, ex-
cepting cancer.
The guarantee on Mi-o-na is given
by one of Topeka's best known drug
gist firms, Rowley & Snow, who agree
to refund the price, so cents, should
AIi-o-na not give perfect satisfaction.
Ask them to show you the guarantee
they give with every package.

A new force is at work which may
ultimately aid in bringing about a
much needed revision of the tariff
schedules. The first seven months of
the current fiscal year ended with a
deficit in the revenues of the govern
ment during this period exceeding $2S,
100000. A phase Of the situation which
should not escape attention is the fact
that there has been no diminution in
public revenues, generally speaking
The deficiency arises solely from the
growth of national expenditure. and
there seems to be little probability that
this can be curbed in any material de-
gree This implies that more revenues
need to be raised in the near future. It
is probable that any attempt to reim-
pose the internal taxes which were ex-
acted to furnish funds for the Spanish
war would be strongly resisted This
apparently leaves only one source from
which the treasury can raise more
money, and that is by the eventual
lowering of some of the tariff schedules
to permit larger imports in certain
lines.
