Understanding That His Part in
Preparation of New Schedules
Will Be Confined to Sug-

William II. Taft and Speaker Cannon
at the Boardman residence, where Mr..
Taft is a guest. today.
At its conclusion each participant an
nounced that an arrangement had been
made whereby Mr.. Taft was to meet the
republican members of the House COM
mittee ON ways and means tomorrow
afternoon. after which q statement would
be issued. Until this statement is made
Mr. Taft said he aud Mr.. Cannon had
agreed not TO discuss what had taken
place between them.
The apparent satisfaction with which
Mr. Taft explained the situation was
taken as evidence that matters We're
very much to his liking 1t is known,
of course, that the subject under dis
cIission between Messrs Taft and Can
Ion was the forthcoming revision of the
tariff. regarding which Mr. Taft has de-
elared himself most positively in favor
of a thorough revision.
1dlRed on Broad Lines.
Ii is understood that very little vas
said between the President and the
Speaker concerning the details of the
proposed tariff legislation. but that the
conversation dealt entirely with the broad
principles involved in that legislation.
They proceeded UPON the express under
standing that they had come together as
the representatives Of two coordinate
branches Of the government, and what
ever Of difference 10 detail the future may
develop. If any. todays discussion was on
1he friendliest possible basis.
The understanding, so far as there was
amy. was that the Presidents part in the
preparation Of a new tariff would be CON
fined to such suggestions as he might de-
sire to make. and h was assured that
while these would be listened to by the
House with every possible consideration,
ne was not led to believe that the House
would abandon its prerogative in the prep
aration Of the new law. Nor was there
any indication on Mr.. Tafts part that he
would expect or desire 1t to do so.
Both for Revision.
Both agreed that the tariff should be re-
ised and that the revision should be
along the lines indicated by the tariff
plank of the republican platform. Neither
Indicated a desire to depart from protect
it- principles in the work to be done.
When urged for u statement concerning
ia. interview Speaker Cannon replied
t.lat owing to the fact that he had met

say nothing

Stomach troubles are very common in
the summer time and you should not only
be very careful about what you eat just
now, but more than this, you should be
careful not to allow your stomach to be-
come disordered, and when the stomach
goes wrong take Kodol. This is the best
known preparation that is offered to the
people today for dyspepsia or Indigestion
or any stomach trouble. Kodol digests all
foods. 1t is pleasant to take. 1t is sold
