Gently swept over the country, there is
every reason to believe that the alco-

steadily on the increase" declared DR..
Frank c. Richardson Of Boston today
in an address before the Society of
Neurology and Psychiatrics. in connec-
ton with the American Institute Of
Homeopathy. which is In session here.
DR.. Richardson declared that the
strenuous American business life was
producing in many of its followers a
neurosis partaking of the character of
neurasthenia, psychasthenia and hys-
terra. The geological factors in the
production OF this neurosis, he added,
were chiefly continuous mental activ-
ity and excessive use of alcohol
While DR.. Richardson held nicotine

he regarded Ii as less injurious and
less destructive than alcohol

FIFTEEN PER. CENT
DUTY ON HIDES
Senate Passes Finance Commit
tee Amendment After Six
Hours Of Argument
Proposal to Increase Tariff on
Sawed Lumber Is Favored
by Senator A1drich

WASHINGTON. June z2.-Late today
the senate reached the voting stage
upon the hide schedule, and after sew
eral amendments had been defeated the
amendment of the finance committee
fixing duty of Is per cent ad valorem
on hides was agreed to by vote OF
So to 80.
This is the rate of the present lazy,
but under the rulings of the treasury
department. is applicable only 10 hides
weighing more than 20 pounds.
The house placed all hides on the
free list, but the committee restored
the Dingley policy by adding them to
the dutiable list.
Senator McLaurin undertook to have
the provision amended SO as TO make
the duty apply to hides weighing less
than 20 pounds, but failed, his amend
ment being voted down, 81 to AZ. An
amendment by SAone placing not only
hides, but many of their products on
the free list was also lost
Senator Aidrich on behalf of the
finance committee presented the com
mittee'E new lum bea- schedule and also
number of amendments relating to
linoleum and oil cloth. The committee
proposed a rate of $1.5O per 1000 on
sawed lumber, a so cent increase oyer
the house rate.
URGES DUTY ON HIDES
Previous to the balloting more than
six hours were devoted to speech max
ing, beginning at 10 o'clock with an
argument by McCumber for duty on
hides, IN which he was sustained by
Gamble ana Hepburn, Thsy took the
position that the effort to make hides
free was solely in the interest of the
70 fN~aw~l Ia
tended that this was a monatreus in
Justice growing out of the protective
system.
Burton and, incidentally. Page sup
ported the free hide policy, the former
in speech of soma length. He de-
clared that the beef trust obtained all
the benefit to be derived from a hide
duty.
OPPOSES FREE RAW MATERIAL
A feature was a speech by Senator
Bob Taylor of Tennessee, which at
tracted much favorable attention and
established good nature. Taylor pleaded
for a tariff for revenue and took a de-
cided position against free raw ma
terial.
Senator Aldrieh on behalf of the
finance committee offered amendments
today to several paragraphs of the tariff
bill, which had been previously passed
over. They were agreed to by the SEN
ate. the various duties thus fixed being
as follows:
Saltpeter. one-half cent pound; zinc
oxide containing zinc but not lead, one
cent pound; Keenes cement or other
cemented gypsum and component
part, from $3.50 to $14 a ton; iron. steel
or other metal glazed with vitrious
glass, S45 q ton.
Asbestos and chromate OF iron are on
the free list. The duty fixed on saltpeter
is the same as the rate fixed by the
house bill. but the committee originally
placed the article on the free list.

For Catarrh
Medicine Free in Every Case
Where It Fails to Relieve.

Neglect or pessimism, we believe,
is the greatest enemy the public has
to contend with when applied to the
loss or recovery OF health. Prac-
tically every case of consumption
might have been cured If hope had
been maintained and proper treat
ment had been resorted to at the
first symptom of the disease. Until
the advanced stage is reached con-
sumption is durable. Catarrh is re-
sponsible, we believe, for many cases
of consumption. 1t is about catarrh
we want to talk to you today, incl
dentally consumption, since the two
are so closely allied.
We have a medicine made from a
prescription Of one of the most sue
cessful catarrh specialists known.
We believe 1t IL positively without an
equal. We are so satisfied that we
are right, that we will supply the
medicine free in every instance where
Is is used according to directions for
q reasonable length of time, should
1t fail to give satisfaction in every
particular. We want every one to
try this medicine at our risk. There
are no conditions attached to our Of
fer. We put the user under no obi
CATION to US whatever.
The medicine we want you to try
is Rexail Mucu-Tone. 1t Is catarrh
remedy that goes direct to the seat
of trouble. 1t is carried by the blood
to every part of the system. 1t pur-
ifles and enriches the blood, tones up
the mucous cells, and brings about a
condition of health and strength that
tends to prevent the germs of con-
sumption from getting start. Be-
sides this, Rexall Mucu-Tone is a
wonderful appetizer, digestive aid
and flesh builder, It's good effects
are often felt from the very first
dose. 1t Is one of the largest and
most satisfactory selling medicines
that we have ever had anything to
do with,
We know so much of the great
good that 1t has done that we per-
sonaIly back 1t up with our reputa-
ton and money. which fact should
be ample guarantee to satisfy any
