mo position OF honor is beyond the
possibility of any American citizen
and that all self-respecting, honost, up
right and Industrious men are the
equal of the president himself.
1t is the notion of cad that boy
should not be taught to work. Hard
work is the best thing in the world
for boy. the only thing, in fact, that
will keep him from going to the bad.
1t would be a good plan if every boy,
rich or poor, be taught a trade, no
matter what he intended TO do in after
life. But nothing but good will come
from Installing in the boy high re-
sard for himself and his possibilities.

tariff is greater than the differential
between the cost of production at
home and abroad. and that it should
therefore be reduced"
Must He Materially Changed.
To live up to this pledge the presi-
dent would have to require that the
Payne-Aldrich bill be changed from
beginning to end. The testimony be-
fore the ways and means committee
was that many manufacturers protect
ed by high tariffs maintained two price
lists, one for American trade and one
for export trade The custom of the
protected manufacturers was to sell 10
foreigners from Is to % per cent
cheaper than TO consumers in the
United States.
In accepting the nomination July 2S,
1908, Mr.. Taft said that the tariff
ought to be revised. and the republican
platform promised that it would be, on
the basis of equalization of cost of pro-
duction at home and abroad. plus Il
reasonable profit.
TO revise the tariff on this basis. When
data as TO the labor cost in foreign
countries has been received, Senator
Aldrich has seen 10 it that ii was sup
pressed.
Without the aid of statistics as to
European labor cost. however, it may
easily be shown that the promise of
revision on the basis of equalization of
cost of production was wholly disre-
garded.
For instance the labor cost in the
cotton manufacturing industry in the
United States is 26 per cent. If the
workmen in Europe received no pay
whatever, the amount of protection to
equaliZe the labor cost here and abroad
| would be &c per cent Yet the average
per cent of tariff rate fixed by the
Payne Aldrich bill on cotton products
| is Ala per cent, The same condition
applies to various schedules.
From the standpoint of revision in
the interests of the people. the Payne
Aldrich bill is delusiOn and a snare
in more than one place, and what
everyone wants to know is: What is
President Taft Poing TO do about it?

HOME TESTING.

4 Sure and Easy Test on Coffee.
To decide the all important ques-
tion of coffee. whether or not it is
really the hidden cause of physical
ails and approaching fixed disease,
one should make a test of 10 days by
leaving off coffee entirely and using
well-made Postum.
If relief follows you may know to
a certainty that coffee has been your
vicious enemy. OF course you can
you like to keep sick.
A lady says: Il had suffered with
stomach trouble, nervousness and
terrible sick headaches ever since |
was little child, for my people were
always great coffee drinkers and let
us children have all we wanted.

without coffee but | would not ack-
nowledge that it caused my suffer
ing.
Then l read so many articles
about Postum that | decided to give
it a fair trial. had not used it two
weeks in place of coffee until l be-
gan to feel like different person.
The headaches and nervousness dis
appeared and whereas / used to be

while drinking coffee | am now well
and strong and sturdy seven days a
| week, thanks to Postum.
Il had been using Postum three

day when l thought l would expert

to drink coffee again and inside of

suit that l was soon well and strong

future.
