Mace Vigorous Protest Against Ger
tain New York Papers seIleves

posed Tarir Revision and Il Should
Not Be Delayed.
New York. Feb. RT.-President Elect
Taft made vigorous protest against
what he said was an absolute misrep-
resentation in certain New York news
papers as to what he had said in an
swering ouestions regarding tariff re-
vision.
He had stated. he said, that the
present business depression was un.
douotedly due in large measure TO
the fact that the tariff is to be revised
at an extra session OF congress. to
meet March Is: that II was of the
highest Importance that this work Of
revision should not be delayed. but
executed with all possible diligence.
MIR. Taft also said he favored the
idea OF q permanent tariff commission.
the plan for which should be marked
out with deliberation. the duties OF
such a commission 10 be to make a
careful study OF the operation OF the
proposed new tRrif law. &c the end
that suggestions might be made In the
future which would tend 10 place the
whole question OF the tariff on a more
certain and scientific basis
Upon this statement Mr.. Taft was
made TO say that the present tariff
schedules were responsible for the
present business depression. and that
when they were revised their own par.
snts would not know them. all Of
which was amplined at length and
made positive by appearing To be a
vigorous and enthusiastic statement.
Mr.. Taft was particularly perturbed
over what he called a misrepreseuta-
uon. particularly In view Of the
weight which Is now given his words
because OF bis official position. He
had. he declared. changed his position
In no way. and held tho same views
he had publicly announced during and
since the campaign.
The subject Of the tariff came up
because OF call on Mr.. Taft by J. w.
Van Cleave. president OF the National
Manufacturers association. IN which
the subject of tariff commission was
mentioned.

INTERESTING FACTS
n. ~ Lswls Offers to Cure cstsnh. The Msdl-
cine Costs Netting II Il Fails.

When q medicine effects a cure in 9S
per cent OF cases, and when we offer that
medicine on our own personal guarantee
that It will cost user nothing II IL does
not cure Catarrh, IL is only reasonable
that people should believe Us, or at least
put our claim to q practical test when
we take all the risk. These are facts
which we want the people OF Fredericks-
burg TO substantiats. We want them to
try Rexall Mucu-Tone, a medicine pre-
pared from q prescription OF q physician
whose sIecialty was Cstarrh, and who
has record OF thirty years of cures to
his credit.
We sell more bottles and rtcsive more
good reports about Rexall Mucu-Tone
than we do OF all other catarrh remedies
sold 10 our store. and ifmoFe people only
knew what q thoroughly dependable rem
edy Rexall Mucu-Tone is, IL would be the
only catarrh medicine we would have
any demand for.
Rexall Mucu-Tone Is quickly absorbed
and carried by the blood until it
thoroughly disinfects and cleanses the en-
tire mucous membranous tract, DESTROYS
and removes the parasites which iniure
and destroy the membranous tissues,
soothes and heals the irritation aud
soreness, stops the mucous discharge, and
builds up strong, healthy tissue, relieves
the blood and system ofdiseased matter,
the muco-cells, aids digestion
and improves nutrition until the whole
body vibrates with healthy activity. In
q comparatively short time there is q
most noticeable gain in weight, strength,
good color and feeling OF buoyancy.
We urge you to try Mucu- Tone, begin
ming treatment today. At any time you
are not satisfied, simply come and tell
rs, and we will quickly return your
money without question or quibble. We
have Rexsll Mucu-Tone In two sizes, SOC.
and $l.00. N. N. Lewis, Main ST., Fred

best sA<k reached during the mem.
orahlc Gates campaign In 1905 when
the price touched $l2lk. The high
prices prevailing for the future deliv.

ing eagerly sought by millers at all
OF the leading grain centers In this
