CAUSE AND EFFECT.

Good Digestion Follows Right Food.
Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts OF mind and body are certain
to follow continued use OF improper
food.
Those who are still young and robust
are likely to overlook the fact that, as
dropping water will wear a stone away
at last. so will the use of heavy, greasy.
rich food, finally cause loss OF appetite
and Indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle Of Cause and Effect In
their daily food. A y. Y. young woman
writes her experience thus:
'Some time ago 1 bad a lot OF trou-
bic from indigestion, caused by too rich
food. l got SO / was unable to digest

far as the general public has head.
The country Is likely to say after the
new law goes on the statute books next
summer, that the Republican party's
work was done wisely.
The work Of readjusting tariff is
4 large task. Our schedules cover
more than 1900 items. In many cases
the alteration of n particular duty
necessitates corresponding changes In
many other duties. All Of these al
terations involve, In some degree and
for the moment, some disturbance III
trade For these and other reasons it
is unfortunate that Congress has neg
ected TO pass one or other Of the bills
for the creation OF tariff commits
sion TO Investigate the question, and
to mark out the general lines on which
the House could base its revision bill.
The Ways and Means Committee lacks
he time and the special training needed
for q work Of this sort. Led by the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
many OF the business organizations Of
The country appealed TO Congress last
winter to pass a tariff commission bill,
but the matter was Enacted upon at the
End Of the session. There would still
be time for commission to do good
work IL Congress, before the holiday
recess, should pass bill providing for
one. The Ways and Means Commit
tees hearings on the tariff end on De
cember 4. few day before the open
Ing of the session. The committee viii
have no further time to devote TO the
hearings A commission, however
could work without interruption TO the
opening OF the special session in March
Composed OF the right sort OF men, a
commission would not be subject to the
partisan and sectional distractions
which necessarily beset committee CT
Congress, whether the committee Is Re
publican or Democratic. As Mr.. Taft
says, some of the duties will probably
be increased, and many will be allow
ed TO remain as at present, but the
large majority of the changes will be
downward. The principle of adequate
protection, however, for all important
products which need protection will be
observed In all the changes which Will
be made. The Republican voters have
fair assurance that the platform
promise will be carried out so faith
fully that all branches OF industry will
be quickened by the reimbursement Of
the general tariff scale, and that the
country will like the new act so well
that the party Will, In the congressional
campaign of 1910, and the presidential
canvass Of 1912. win a new lease Of

which were served with soft cream
cheese and bread for dessert were
cooked. To my surprise he informed

When it comes to the discussion OF
the tariff questions, all Republican
writer's and speakers should be very
careful to impress upon the people
that REVISION OF the tariff does not
mean a reduction of the tariff nor the
abolition of its protective features.
That whether the general average or
the grand total of the receipts from
this source shall be increased or de-
creased, the readjustment will be made,
If made by the Republican party. in the
interest of fairness TO all parties con-
