Important Step Taken Toward Stop

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March go
An important step coward stopping
the waste of the fuel resources of the
country has been taken by tie United
States Geological Survey in its tests
Of the coal field of the Rocky Noun
tain region at the government plant
in Denver, Colorado. At that plant
the purpose has been to determine
what Goals of this region are capa-
Bile of making coke that can be used
by the great metallurgic interests of
the west. OF thirty-seven Goals tested,
the government experts succeeded in
producing good coke from all but
three. through a number of these Goals
mad never been known to be capable
of making coke. These results, which
will prove of much Importance the
west in The next few years, were OBJ
tanned by following out carefully
prepared treatment of the Goals. Each
of the Goals was washed in order to
get rid of the ash, sulphur and other
impurities which prevent the making
of coke that is of any use in metal
lurgical work. The washing tests not
only prepared these Goals so that they
made good coke, but also demonstrate
ed the fact that many Goals of the
west which have toe much ash and
sulpnur to be used economically der
steam boiler may be rendered of
commercial value through such treat
ment A bulletin describing the wash
ing and coking tests at the Denver fuel
testing plant from July 1, 1907, to

DRUGGISTS LAW
rs INTERESTING
After April I, the Inspector is Liable
to Drop in and Look Over the
Stock.

Druggists throughout Iowa are
greatly interested in the Newberrv

effect April /. This law was passed
two years ago but IN appropriation
for its enforcement was overlooked
1t has beer partially enforced. how
ever by the pharmacy commission and
the appropriat. IN to be made by the
present legislature will put the entire
bill into effect April L.
The Newberry law is strict and will
require drug stores to keep their sup
ply of drugs fresh and up to uni
form strength. Every drug handled in
the state must come up to the strength
prescribed by the U. S. P. of 1900 and
the National Formuiatory. The per
cent OF alcohol used in all concoctions
must also be shown upon the label
After April ] all goods displayed or
Kept for sale must be properly labeled
and the possession of drugs not prop
erly labeled will be deemed prima
facie evidence of intent to sell. Also
1--e use of wood alcohol in colognes,
perfumes, massage preparations and
re like is absolutely prohibited.
To enforce this law i will be neces-
sary for the pharmacy commissioners
to personally cali upon every druggist
in the state and inspect his stock The
members OF the pharmacy board have
been partially enforcing this law, but
al,er April 1 expect to enforce all of
its provisions. Lack of an appropria-
ton to prosecute violators has previ
ously prevented the full enforcement
of the law. After April /, however,
every druggist in Iowa should take
every precaution against violating this
law. Furthermore every store in the
state should be kept ready for an of
fetal inspection by the pharmacy
board, for this will be necessary in the
strict enforcement of the law con
templated by the members of this
commission

ELIOT CHOSEN
AS AMBASSADOR
Taft Infers That Head of Harvard
University viii Go to
England.

! WASHINGTON, d. c., March 81
President Taft, speaking at the dinner
rendered Charles w. Eliot of Harvard
university here last night announced
by direct influence that Eliot had been
rendered and was considering the ap-
lpointment of ambassador to Great
Britain. eSnator Root had indicated
the selection of Eliot earlier in the
evening, and Taft made the announce
ment stronger by declaring that he en-
corsed all Root had said.
Senator Root indicated the choice of
Eliot as the new American ambassa-
dor to Great Britain by saying: BE
fore whatever monarch he (Eiiot)
shall stand, We will know our great
republic in all it's good qualities is
represented by true American gentle
man.
WASHINGTON. March 31.-Presi-
dent Taft and DR.. Charles w. Eliot
former president of Harvard Univer-
sity, held half hours conference at
tle White House today. They nlu-
tually decided to make no announce
ment of the latters decision as vet.
ADD ELIOT 2
In regard TO the ambaSsadorship to
England, which was rendered him, DR..
Eliot wishes TO fully make up his
mind. Taft and Secretary Knox are
willing to give him all the time he
wants. Whitlaw Reid will remain in
London at least six months, therefore
there's no haste about the appoint
ment of a successor. When DR.. Eliot
left the White House he said he had
pleasant talk with the President but
was unable to say whether to accept
or decline the offer or that the
offer had actually been rendered him.
Wlen Taft asked for a statement upon
the ambassadorship he said it wasn't
the present question" as no announce
ment was to be made at this time.

IOWANS CONFER
ON TARIFF BILL
Republican Members of House Favor
Many Changes in Payne
Schedule

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 30
The Iowa republican members of the
mouse held conference on the tariff
Dill yesterday afternoon and expressed
themselves as fayoring more than a
dozen changes in the Payne measure.
NO formal action was taken, but the
following amendments were suggest
ed. some of which several Iowans in
sist must be made to gain the support
of the bill:
A moderate duty on hides. Restore
duty on barley. Protect wheat in
drawbacks. Free saoes If free hides.
lower duty on cheaper gloves and
hosiery. Free leather and spices. Free
coffee without countervailing duty.
Free lumber without Joker" in the
bill. A reduction of the duty on glass.
A lower duty on steel billetts and rods.
No countervailing duty on petroleum.
Increase the beer tax from 81 to $1.50
per barrel.
Representative Woods advocated an
income tax and decrease of eXpendi-
lures if necessary to make up for the
reduction of duties on the necessities
of life. But the income tax plan did
not receive much support at the con-
ference. Smith, who is believed to
hold tae balance of power ON the rules
committee, stated that he thought it
would be possible to get a separate
vote on four or five amendments to the
tariff bill. The majority of the dele
cation want him to stand firm for a
chance to amend the bill according to
the foregoing pan outlined. They be-
lieve that he can prevent the Tuies
committee from trying to railroad the
bill through the house without amend
ment

on several schedules of the Payne
bill. Haughen, Hubbard Dawson and
Kennedy join with taeir new col
leagues in some of these demands.
The entire delegation is united for
duty on hides and all but Smith are
for free coffee. He favors maximum
and minimum duty of five and three
cents. Hull is inclined to favor a duty
on tea. All are for an increase of duty
and tax on beer.
Much encouragement was given the
Iowans by the publication this after
noon of a statement by Representa-
tive Hinshaw of Nebraska, who had a
conference with President Taft, and
says that Taft desires the duty be TAX
