COOPER PLACES PREPARA-

Will Continue to Meet Public AS Heretofore in Spite
of Change.

The sale of the Cooper preparation
in New York will no longer be confin-
ed to the one store where Cooper has
been meeting the public. For the past
week Cooper says more people have
called to talk with him than could be
taken care of at one store and he has
therefore decided on a charge Of
plans.
In speaking of this change he said:
II have realized for some time that
would have to relieve the congestion
at this store, as the number of people
who call has been increasing each day,
until 1t is almost impossible to see
them all, especially at certain hours
in the day. Beginning Saturday, my
preparation will be on sale at ali
drug stores in Greater New York.
by Saturday most druggists will
have the medicine in stock and those
who have not obtained it can easily
order it for their customers | shall
continue to meet the public daily as
heretofore.
THE name of the medicine which is
proving so successful is Cooper's New
Discovery. 1t is success because il

ed stomachs, and causes the gastric
juices to become active again AS

Coffee Ais Vanish Before Postum.
1t seems almost too good to be true
the way headache, nervousness, insom

Postum used as the regular table bev

which causes the trouble, but Postum

CT legal rights and industrial privi- leges which the early leaders were striving to obtain for woman have been secured.
 When Mrs. Stanton, Miss Anthony and their associates took up the cam paign for ballots for women they made the issue one of man versus woman, and it was their ambition to wipe out every line of distinction between the two sexes wherever it appeared in le- gal enactments or religious creeds. One of the curious developments in this connection was the publication in 1895 of The Woman's Bible" One of the chief grievances of the suffrag- ists was their claim that the Bible was unfair to woman by emphasizing her subjectiOn to man and emitting to give her an equal place in the religious his tory which it records. Accordingly, these suffragists. acting under the leadership of Mrs. Stanton, Mrs. Lillie DeverauX Blake, Mrs. Robert Inger- soil and others equally prominent in the movement, undertook to bring out commentary on those passages in the Scriptures in which women were men tioned. and. to quote their own words, those in which women are made prominent by exclusion"

PROVISIONS OF THE
 NEW TARIFF BILL
THE DUTY ON LUMBER WILL BE
 CUT.
Hides on the Free List and Liquors Left as They Are.

Washington, March S-A cut of one-half in the duty on lumber and manufacturers of lumber is under stood to be one of the changes pro- vided by the new tariff bill which is being printed preparatory to its final revision by the republican members of the house ways and means committee Another change. according to information from re- liable sources. is that hides have been placed on the free list. There has been much contention over the duties on hees two articles. The effort to obtain hides free is being made principally by the New Eng land shoe and leather manufacturers, and is strongly opposed by the cat tlemen of the west. It is said the farmers have agreed to a material reduction on leather manufactures. An impression prevails that the plan is to have the hide and leather sched- ule fixed in conference after the questions have been thoroughly threshed out on the floor of the house. in the senate finance com mittee, and on the floor of the sen ate
 It is expected that by Wednesday the entire measure will be in type. It has been learned on unquestionable authority that because of the placing of hides on the free list the duty on shoes will be considerably reduced. While no figures were obtainable re- garding the steel schedule, it was said, on the same authority, that a substantial reduction in steel rails, tools and similar products is pro- vided for. A duty of four cents a pound on coffee is levied. This is by the way of compromise with the Porto Ricans, who demanded a tax of six cents a pound.
 Whisky and beer will remain as they are at present, if the subcom- mittee recommendations are enacted into law. It was felt that whisky was already carrying all the tax it could stand, while in the case of beer, the prohibition movement throughout the country. it was ex- plained, had cut down the consump- tion Of bee materially.
 It having become manifest to the committee that the customs duties under the new bill would not produce the revenue expected. it turned to the expedient of reviving the war revenue act of 1898 which placed tax on telegrams, bank checks, play ing cards and all stocks bought or sold. That feature of the war rev. enue act is incorporated in the tar if measure as drafted, it is said.
 matter perplexing to the commit tee is that of placing d tax on inner itances. President Taft wants it, it is. declared, and is pressing the com mittee to take action all along that line. It is predicted that the commit tee will yield to the presidents wishes President Taft is seeking to have a copy of the bill delivered to the senate committee on finance before the spe- cial session begins in order that the members may begin work on it at oncG-

Lard is the most commonly used cook. ing fat, yet not 10 per cent of the food cooked with lard digests naturally and easily; the other 90 per cent, instead of nourishing the body, merely clogs the digestive organs.
