DR.. Currier: dissolve one teaspoonful
pure powdered citrox in two tablespoon

each time and used warm, taking care
to get the pure drug In a sealed package,
just as 1t comes from the citrox works"
The results were amazingly successful,
eight cases being cured in three weeks
and the other two showing great i'm

TAFT AND CANNON CONFER
Tariff Revision Plans Discussed at
Conference.
Committeeman TO BE CALLED IN
Arrangements Made for President
Elect to Meet the Republicans
who Have Been Taking
Evidence.
COMMITTEEMAN TO BE CALLED II

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-President-elec
Taft's day here was crowded with confer
ences and social engagements. The i'm
portant feature was a conference with
Speaker Cannon, which caused an arrange
ment for the republican members of the
house committee on ways and means to
meet Mr.. Taft tomorrow.
1t also was arranged that at the conclu-
sion of this conference a statement should
be issued to make known what the attitude
both of the president-elect and the commit
tee is to be respecting the forthcoming re-
vision of the tariff. Mr.. Cannon called upon
Mr.. Taft upon the latter's invitation.
Until this statement is made Mr.. Taft
said he and 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 an evidence that matters were very
much to his liking. 1t is known, of course,
that the subject under discussion between
Messrs. Taft and Cannon was the coming
revision of the tariff, regarding which Mr..
Taft has declared himself most positively
in favor of a thorough revision.
It is understood that very little was said
between the president-elect 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 understanding that they had
come together as the representatives of two
coordinate branches of the government and
whatever Of difference in details in the
future may develop. IL any. today's discus
sion was on the friendliest possible basis.
The understanding, so far as there was
any. 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 he was assured that
while these would be listened to by the
house with every possible consideration,
he was not led to believe that the house
would abandon its p~rerogative In the prep
aration of the new law. MOI was there
any indication on Mr.. Taft's part that he
would expect or desire II to do so. Both
agreed that the tariff should be revised
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 protective principles
in the work to come.
When urged for a statement, concerning
the interview, Speaker Cannon replied that
owing to the fact that he had met Mr..
Taft at the latter's request he could say
nothing.
After the conference Mr.. Taft attended
the meeting of the board of trustees of the
Jeanes fund for the education of the negro
in the south. Later he took a long walk
with Senator Dodge of Massachusetts, and
on returning to the Boardman residence
received many congressman.
The president-elect and Mrs. Taft were
guests at luncheon of Assistant Secretary
Of War oliver and Mrs. Oliver. Tonight
they dined with Mrs, Mary Scott Town

Following the inventory Of lands, pre-
scented by Senator Nelson, there was an
informal discussion. Senators Newlands

Smith and Blanchard participated.
The conference was called to order by
Chief Forester clifford Pinchot of the De-
partment of Agriculture. The report of
the commission was presented by former
Governor Blanchard Of louisiana
Mr. Blanchard deprecated the lack of CO
operation among states and between the
federal and state governments, ascribing
to that the failure OF conservation. He
urged the appointment Of a permanent
conservation commission with certain
powers delegated by congress and with
appropriations to carry out it's work.
Senator Newlands Of Nevada spoke of the
Importance Of the conservation commits
sion's work and the need for it's perma-
nency with suitable appropriations and
upon his motion, seconded by Senator
Smoot of Utah, a committee will be APP
pointed to present the question to con-
gress.
Senator Flint OF California, presented
the report of the mineral section Of the
commission.

made an address in explanation. He pre-
dicted the supplies Of high grade iron ores
will be consumed by the middle of the
present century. high grade available coal
by the middle of the next century, copper,
lead, zic and precious metals by the end
Of the present century and phosphate rock,
so essential to soil fertility, within

natural resources. charged that enough

exposition Is being held within its limits.
they have authorized me as it's chief ex-
ecutive to turn over the keys TO the visitors
who are here, not only from our own great
country but others as we'll. Many times
before our gates have been thrown open
to conventions and expositions, and every
time our people, made up of the rank and
file, broad, liberal and generous, have done
all within their power to make our visitors
teei at home. We realize that the purpose
OF this great exposition is to educate those
who are engaged in agriculture and stock
raising, to increase the production Of grains
and make grasses grom more plentiful.
This can be done by taking advantage Of
the knowledge to be displayed by the
scientific men who are here with us at
this time.
1 wish to congratulate the committee of
business men who have worked hard TO
bring about this exposition, which promises
70 be such a success. 1t is our hope that
this convention may be located here perma-
nently. Our city lies in the heart of a
great agricultural and grazing country.
Everything that can be done by our people
to treat you right will be done. So 1
turn the city over &c you, and 1 sincerely
hope your visit will be a pleasant one.

BUTTER LANDSCAPE is , BEAUTY
Specimens Made by Two Omaha
Teachers Draws Crowd.

Specimens Made by Two Omaha
Teachers Draws Crowd.
The largest crowd gathered around q
single exhibit at the Auditorium Wednes-
day was that which admired the landscape
In butter, which is kept from melting by a
refrigerating plant Installed by the Larsen
Baker company. The sculpture is the work
Of Miss Gertrude Warren Of the Mason
school and Miss Pearl Macumber of the
Saunders and Walnut Hill schools.
These young women are preceptresses in
manual training in the schools named, and
aside from the landscape as a bit OF plastic
art, It is interesting as showing that be-
sides teaching girls and boys, their instruc-
tors are able to do things themselves.
The principal figure of the scene is a
young woman who is gathering ears Of corn
in her apron. At the instant the sculpture
was completed. some one In whom Galatea
was interested must have been coming over
the horizon, for her eyes are turned in that
direction. A shock of corn is also hand
somely carved out of butter, and a pump
kin is growing at its roots. The base re-
liefs with which the walls of the booth are
lined are even more artistic han the fig
ures. These reliefs show several cows, a
farm house and other rural objects.
The David Cole Creamery company fur
nlshed the butter from which the model
ing was done. A prize will be given to the
person guessing nearest to the number of
pounds of butter used.
Misses Warren and Macumber worked on
this splendid specimen just six days. Their
product is the first thing of the sort ever
attempted in the west.

James A. Larson Amazed at Immense

James A. Larson, assistant secretary
Of state of Minnesota, arrived in Omaha,
Wednesday morning. to remain through the
National Corn exposition, as manager of
the Minnesota exhibit. He said he was
greatly surprised at the efforts which had
been made by the people Of Omaha to make
the exposition a great success and predicted
that the cost of the exposition would be
infinitesimal in comparison with the bene-
fits which Omaha and the entire corn belt
would derive from a show Of such an
educational character.
THE show is right in line with what
James J. Hill, one Of the foremost citizens
of our state is continually preaching
intensive farming" said Mr.. Larson. 'The
day is past when a farmer can plant his
crops in a haphazardj way and hope to
succeed. He mus learn to select his seed
and rotate his crops and that is the les
son this great exposition will teach"
