THE NEW TARIFF.
Get Your Tribute Ready-1he
Cost Of Living to be Mail
tanned.

Greensboro Record.
The word tariff has been an
enigma to the great mass OF
people. For thirty years public
speakers and newspapers have
been pounding away on 1t, but
it goes into one ear and out al
the other, yet with all this the
people kick and groWl about the
increased cost of living. Our
friends, the Republicans, made
great promises during the last
campaign about revising the
tariff. Mr.. Taft himself led IN
the promise OF revision down
ward, but while he managed IN
! the last week to get a few con-
cessions they amount to very
little and the result is that we
are to pay still more to be al
lowed to live.
The Kansas City Star sums VI
the law in these words:
Instead of a reduction in the
cost Of living, which was clearly
promised by both parties repre-
scented in Congress
There will be an enormous in
crease in the cost Of Woolens anC
mems suits, Women's dresses
underwear, and hats made from
wooden fabrics, not because thu
rates on these articles have beer
increased, but because the pres
ent excessive rates have no
been reduced, and becaus
under these rates, a vast trus
has been formed to contro
wooden manufactures.
There will be a large increas
in the cost of cotton fabrics an,
in nearly all articles made fror
these fabrics, including wor4en'
and children's clothing.
The cost of sugar will renal
the same and each family Wi
continue to pay 2 cents a poun
D more for it's sugar than the sam
sugar sells for in London.
There will be no reduction

BEATING THE ALMANACS
A New Scheme for Using More
Daylight.

Daylight.
Greensboro Record
The ingenuity of man is past
comprehension, especially along
certain lines. A new scheme
has been talked for some time,
and is about to be tried out, OF
making more daylight. On its
face the proposition looks pre-
posterous, but it is not. The
world moves by the clock; this
is not disputed. Beginning IN
May daylight comes about four
o'clock a. H.; in June it is broad
day light at 1870, aud on through
the summer one sleeps away sew
eral hours of daylight, all be-
cause of the clock. The PROPOSE
ton in brief is that from and
after two O'Clock on the morn
ing of the first day of May in
each year, until 2 O'Clock on the
morning Of the first day of
October in each year, the
standard time shall be one hour
i'm advance of the standard time
now in use. (By advancing the
hands Of the clock one hour on
May LIST and moving them back
one hour on October LIST. 1t is
claimed in behalf Of this plan
that in consequence Of the pro-
posed change no railroad would
be compelled to alter a single
schedule nor any factory its
hours Of work. People would SC
quickly adjust themselves to il
that it would be forgotten in {
day or two, for the world lives
by the clock. Some Of the re
suits expected are:
l. Health a nd physical wei
: fare are promoted if the activi
ties of life begin early in tn
I day as nature intends.
2. Additional time durin!
daylight is gained for rest AM
recreation, the use of parks an
! Fairgrounds during the he
months would be increased, an
9 all forms of recreation could b
projected on larger lines.
n 3. The farmer, who represent

Danaerous Anti-Fat Treatment.

Fat girls who are inclined to drink
vinegar and eat pickles in the hope of
reducing flesh may take warning from
the fate of Annie Gross, a 25-year-old
St Louis woman She was stout
and had been dieting to reduce her
flesh. She ate no meat or heavy food,
and neighbors gave the information
that she had made practice of eating
from a dozen to two dozen sour pickles
day and drinking from half a pint
to a pint of vinegar every twenty-four
hours. Sudden death came to her Sun
day evening, when she had left a party
of her friends to get a drink of water.
At the autopsy physicians found the
inner walls of the stomach almost COM
pletely eaten away. The cause of her
death was given as hemorrhage of the
stomach and acetic poisoning, due to
pickles and vinegar It is easy to see
how such results would naturally come
more quickly to a stomach that was
deprived Of other classes of food. a
similar condition has often been found
in the stomach of men who were small
eaters and habitual drinkers of large
quantities of hard cider. The stomach
is not proper receptacle into which to
pour quantities of strong acid

sieden, Switzerland
Deceased was born in 1880 and had
been actively engaged in the Catholic
publishing business for more than half
a century. His sterling Christian char
acter endeared him to all who knew
him; and his generous, kindly treat
ment of his large staff of employees
won for him their sincere and CRATE
full love. During the lingering illness
that finally ended in death, Mr.. Ben
Ziger exhibited the most admirable pa

comforted and fortified by the sacra-
ments of the church.
Of the large family left by the de-
