is COMPILING STATISTICS,
Fire Rating Board Getting Ready for
Adjusting Rates.

Austin, Texas, Dec. THE fire
rating board is at present engaged
in compiling the data obtained by 1t
on its recent visit to the north and
east. All insurance companies, that
is, fire companies, are required to
file with the board between now and
January l. 1910, schedule OF the
fire rates in effect by them and the
board will then be in a position to
know if these rates are uniform and
equitable. During the past several
days there has been number OF in
surance men here; also others in
terested on the subject, comforting
with the members Of the board re-
garding the question as to whether
there VIII be an increase in rates as
applicable to their particular locali-
ty. Among those here yesterday was
Mayor Nichols of Gainesville. He
wanted to know how the rates would
affect the risks in his town. 1t will,
however, be impossible for the board
to say until all the companies have
filed their schedules and the board
has ascertained whether the rates
are uniform. The general tendency,
however, is to make a slight reduc-
ton in the rates wherever it is found
practicable by the board.

STA can be permanently relieved and
that Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will
bring about this result, we will fur
nish the medicine absolutely free If

one using it.
The remarkable success of Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets is due to the high
degree Of scientific skill used in de-
vising their formula as well as to
the care exercised in their manufac-
ture, whereby the we'll known prop
critics of -Subnitrate and
Pepsin have been combined with
Carminatives and other agents.
Observation-Disclosures and Pepsin
are constantly employed and recog-
nized by the entire medical profess
sion as Invaluable in the treatment
Of indigestion and dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used in ReXall Dyspep-
STA Tablets is prepared by process
which develops its greatest efficien-
cy. PepsiH supplies TO the digestive
apparatus one of the most important
elements of the digestive fluid, and
without it the digestion and assimila-
ton of food are impossible.
The carminatiyes possess proper
ties which aid in relieving the dis
turbances and pain caused by undi-
gested food. This perfect combine
ton of these ingredients makes a
remedy invaluable for the complete
relief of Indigestion and dyspepsia.
We are so certain of this that we

tors following the lead of New Eng
land, more particularly the dictation
of Aidrich of Rhode Island, on roll
call after roll call in the tariff ses-
sion of congress, and in defiance not
only OF the national platform of the
republican party, but of a tariff
plank that the west forced into that
platform, and also in defiance OF the
position and pledges OF president
whose nomination was compelled by
the west
The nomination and election of
President Taft was western
achievement, and it was an achieve
ment based on the avowed tariff re-
form policies of the president. In no
other presidential contest did the
west play such a potential part. II
this victory had been followed by abb
solute loyalty on the part of all wes-
tern representatives in congress the
rightful result of that nomination
and election would have been accom-
plished. That result would not have
been the substitution of new sec
tional tariff for an old sectional tar
if. but naturalization of the tar
if. The west is not seeking to secure
any advantage over any other sec
ton of the country, but to secure its
own, and to relieve the people of all
sections of the gross immoral and
burdensome abuses that have grown
out of the tariff system.
For the present the great west has
a program of it's own. 1t is going to
do some housekeeping. 1t has dem
onstrated that its people can make
themselves heard In party nomina-
lions and national elections. Now it
