Women Who Are Envied.

Those attractive women who are
lovely in face, form and tenn per are
the envy of many, who might be like
them. A weak, sickly woman will be
nervous and irritable. Constipation
or Kidney poisons show in pimples
blotches, skin eruptlons and a
wretched complexion. For all such,
Electric Bitters work wonders. They
regulate Stomach, Liver and Kid
neys, purify the blood; give strong
nerves, bright eyes, pure breath,
smooth, velvety skin, lovely COM
plexion. Many charming women owe
their health and beauty to them. SOC

Taft Favors Tariff Commission.

President Elect Taft made a vigor-
Gus protest against what he said was
an absolute misrepresentation in GER
tain New York newspapers as to what
he had said in answering questions
regarding tariff revision.
He had stated, he said, that the
present business depression was I'M
doubtedly due in a large measure to
the fact that the tariff is to be revised
at an extra session of congress, to
meet March Is; that it was of the
highest importance that this work of
revision should not be delayed, but
executed with all possible diligence.
Mr.. Taft also said he favored the
idea of a permanent tariff commission.
the plan for which should be marked
out with elaboration, the duties Of
such a commission to be to make a
careful study of the operation of the
proposed new tariff law, to the end
that suggestions might be made in tie
future which would tend to place the
whole question of the tariff on a more
certain and scientific basis.
