Proving Only Obstacle to
Making Of Compromise
Report.
PUT Up 10 PRESIDENT
Will be Presented Program for
Settlement of Dispute at
Dinner Tonight.

Washington, July 21.-It has been
determined to present to the presi-
dent tonight program for the. set
tlement of the dispute over raw ma
terials or at least to define the is
sues so sharply that the executive
may be put in a position to weight
the merits of the controverted points.
The tariff conferees today took up
in earnest the five big subjects-iron
ore. lumber, oil, hides, coal-tnat
had been held in abeyance by the
attitude of the administration. The
only obstacle in the way of making
compromise report putting iron ore
and oil on the free list and making
reductions in the duties on coal,
hides, lumber is believed to be Rep
resentative Payne, chairman of the
ways and means committee. his
signature must be had if there is to
be tariff legislation. If he exacts the
placing of hides on the free list and
the adoption of reciprocal provision
which would mean free entry of coal
from Canada as the price of his sig
nature, the senate confereeS say
there is no possibility of an agree
ment
There is little hope of an adjust
ment of differences over lumber
hides or coal today. These subjects
IN all probability will literally be
put up to the president"

SUFFERED FOR
TWENTY YEARS
A Kansas Woman, Cured Of
Chronic Rheumatism, Recon-. :
mends the Treatment
That Cured Her.

Pure, rcd blood is the body's only de-
fence against disease. When healthy,
the blood attacks the poisons of disease
aud SO changes them that they can be
thrown off through the lungs, skin, kid
neys and bowels. In fact this is what
the blood is constantly doing and dis
ease occurs only when the blood becomes
impure through errors III living, such as
oyerwork, worry, lack of fresh air or Of
llourislling food. It is then unable to
overcome tho poisons and they are carried
throughout the body and in tho weakest
organs tho disease gains q foothold.
Ii,c tonic treatment aims to build uD
the blood, drive out the impurities and
enables it to do the work of preserving
the normal health of the body that
nature intended for it..
1t was this tonic treatment with DR.
Williams Pink Pills that cured Mrs. J.
~ Tonnyson, of Uniontown, Kansas, of
rheumatism. She says:
