1t is rumored around the capitol that
the duties on steel rails tools, and sim-

substantial reduction.
1t also has been learned on good au-

reduction in the duties on shoes. There
will be hard fight over this section
when the bill comes up for passage.
The effort to obtain free hides is being
made by the New England shoe and
leather manufacturers. and is strongly
opposed by the cattle men of the west.
An impression prevails that the plan
is to have the hide and leather sched-

When the Iowa Telephone Company
started the erection OF some new
poles the other day and ran its wires
thru some fine shade trees on Sixth
street the city council called the at
tention of the officials to the fact that
the franchise of the company has eX-
pired and that it has no legal rights to
any of the streets or the alleys. The
matter of new franchise is expected
to come up very soon and the city
council will deliberate carefully as ito
what compensation the city should re
ceive as rental of the streets and
alleys which the company will need.
The probability is that it will be asked
to put ali of its wires in conduits in
the downtown section Of the city and
in cables in the remaining portion.
There may also be a requirement for
cash compensation. Under the commits
sion plan all franchises must be APP
proved by the people and it is prob
able that before very long franchise
proposition will be framed UP and sub

While nothing was officially given out

President Taft is seeking to have a

despite the great cuts to be made on
certain classes of goods the new mea-
sure will provide additional revenue of
at least $3.50, 100000 annually Fifty
millions of this increase, it is said, will
come from the advance on coffee, on
which a duty of cents will be levied.

Religion as Handmade of Health.


The present tendcNcy to cultivate
health in cutivating religion is getting
many recruits. Even highly conserva-
tive clergymen preach sanitation as
we'll as theology. Taking care of the
health now forms part of the instruc-
ton in convent schools and in private
schools which. though nonsectarian,
are conducted on Christian basis.
AS for the beauty specialists, the first
thing they learn is whether the pa
tient lives normally or if certain de-
fects of the skin have not foundation
in the breaking of health rules. The
one who cultivates beauty of face and
form must live life near perfection.
