from bad Indigestion.

GET READY
FOR TARIFF
STAMP DUTY
Bureau Of Printing and Engrav-
ing is Getting Ready to
Turn Them Out.

WASHINGTON, March 24-Unusual
activity at the bureau of engraving
and printing in the installation of
machines for the printing OF stamps
and the working overtime of the en-.
tire stamp printing force, gives color
to the belief that the new tariff bill
will contain clauses re-enacting the
stamp taxes that were levied during
the Spanish-American war period.
The bureau has been busy printing
millions of stamps and it is believed
that the bureau officials anticipate or
have been advised by the Treasury
Department that the task will fall on
the bureau to produce adhesive
stamps for use on proprietary medi-
cines, perfumery, chewing gum,
checks, notes and other commercial
paper, light wines. etc. Mechanics
have been installing stamp printing
| machines and a force has been kept
busy for the entire "a hours for sew
eral days.
Because of the limited space and
facilities of the bureau, it will be
necessary to start work almost i'm
mediately to make preparations to
furnish stamps if Congress DEGREES
that stamp taxes shall again be col
lected. The ordinary work of the
branch of the Tresuary Department
necessitates two shifts a day to
purint the paper money, postage
stamps, revenue stamps and other
plate printed matter

Kodol thus digests food, for the
simple reason that 1t contains all
of the elements essential to food
digestion. 1t would be impossible
for 1t to not digest food.
You know that decaying food IL
extremely poison GUS. Where, then,
could decaying food be any more
dangerous than lying on the human
stomach? Bad enough If indiges-
tion and dyspero a were the worst
results. But they are not.
When food doesn't digest, 1t
forms into hard, lump masses.
These irritate the tender Innings
of the stomach and intestines, and
sometimes even cancer of the
stomach is caused. Chronic forms
of dyspepsia are quite certain to re-
suit.
There is nothing secret about
Kodol. AS state |, it merely con-
tains all the NJ ural digestive ele-
ments. 1t is ma . in a liquid form
SO that it can contain all these.
In this respect it differs from

partial digesters. which embody

engineer IS NOW
in UNINED STATES
Investigating Railway Methods of This
Country Before Starting to Com
plete the Great Project Planned by
Cecil Rhodes.

NEW YORK, March 24-F. Won
Gheel Gildemeester, chief engineer of
the Cape Town-Cario Railway Synd-
cate, now in charge of the operations
which, within a few years will form
the connecting link between North
and South America, is in the United
States to make a study of the railway
systems of this country
"In the Cape Town-Cario Railways
said Mr. Gildemeester there is at
present a stretch of about $500 miles
to be completed. 1t lies between
Khartoum, in the British Egyptian
Sudan, to Broken HILL a point in
Rhodesia. 1t is estimated that this
remaining mileage will be completed
within three years, and then the long
est railroad in the world, covering in
the neighborhood of 6,4O0 miles, will
be finished
What do | estimate the total cost
to be? Very close to 100000, 900, or
about $1,0OO,O00, 900 | should say but
comparatively small amount when it
is considered what a glorious thing
it will be for Africa one of the great

that! And then it will open up a
country that is rich in almost every.

they will find there remains to be
seen.
It's a great work, is this building
of the longest railway and what it all
means to Africa and the world is not
fully appreciated. I am afraid. To
the business man, to be found every
where and especially those having af-
fairs in Africa, it will be a wonderful
thing, Where now, in travelling from
Pars for example, he s compelled to
take long sea trip, he will be able
after the completion of the road, to
take train to Brindisi. Italy, thence
by boat to Alexandria, Egypt, and
short journey to Carlo, where he will
take the train that will land him in

Africa, all in II days Just at the
present time we are working in

Keeping Time In Holland.

Railroad time, as we generally un- derstand the phrase in the United States, is a little ahead of the town time, but in The Hague, the quaint old capital of Holland, all private and un- official clocks and watches are kept twenty minutes fast" said a traveller. When 1t is noon in the railway sta tion. nostoffice and other government buildings of The Hague the timepieces in the shops and the watches of the sturdy hurgbrrs show 20 ?. m. Just what reason there is for this l don't knew, although asked enlightenment IF many quarters. It seems q custom that has been handed down for gener- ationS, ard the Dutch are too conserv- atiVe to change the ways of their pro gcnitors without some mighty induce ment. .-Raltimore American.

He made careful study of the litera. ture we supplied him with and was very enthusiastic. Judge of my sur prise when the first morning he went out back he came and handed in his resigna ton.

Mr.. Nexsen Gives Some Reasons

Editor The Daily Press
Your editorial "A Public Misior-
tune" Is timely, but there are reasons
why the public does not more gen
orally attend the performance 1T the
Academy OF Music. Let us see what
scme of them are:
There are many who never ieei
comfortable while In the building,
feeling they would be In danger should
a Are occur, and feel relief when they
have gotten safely out.
The acoustic qualities OF the house
are such that In between one-half and
two thirds of the seats, one must give
the closest attention in order to hear.
The re gular attendants have each DIS
covered for himself a seat or seats
where he can hear and regularly &C.
cupies these.
The size and arrangement OF the
stage is such that many of the largest
and best attractions are not able 10
use all their scenery. And there is
frequently much crowding en- the
stage. and one can see that the COM
panies are handicapped and hardly
able to do themselves justice.
Many OF the seats are none to COM
Portable. and many are ioath to pay
the price asked to sit for a couple
of hours in a less comfortable seat
than they use az home.
The house was built above the
ground. with the idea that the stores
under II would materially help In pay
ing the rent OF the building. This has
probably not proved the case.
II the owners who have the plans
can work out rebuilding OF the thea
ter sc that il will be on the ground
floor with numerous exists and by re-
moving the circular wall enclosing
the present ssairxays In the center OF
the building, improve the acoustics,
which would probably be the case, and
put the stsirways in each corner OF
the building. and increase the size OF
the stage. ana put In comfortable and
rocmy seats. and run generally good
shows az popular prices. with high
priced. properly staged and played
shows every few weeks. with ar
rangements for good transportation
facilities 10 and from the shows. with
speclsl cars II necessary. the pablo
probably give good support to the al
fractions offered by a liberal manage
ment.
should the owners decide to make
any changes they should consult the
best thcster architect and II possible
get his guarantee that the shangs'
will make &c acoustics ali right

Greprccf lines so much the better.

he believes would make the ,theater

There. Is much truth in what Mr..
Nexsen says. His remarks about the
dangers CT an upstairs" house. un-
comfortable seats and poor acoustic
qualities are very much in order. 1t
probably would be impossible 10 book

gest.on, as the local management IS
almost entirely at the mercy OF the

the building improvements suggested,
combined with the exercise OF the best
possible judgment In backing no
doubt would bring better patronage
than the house has enjoyed In the
past.
II Is to be hoped that the theatrical
people and the owner Oh the house
