,4,arough decisions by the courts such
Ahave characterized the administra-
ton Of the Dingley law during latter
years. In many instances the rates
intended to be imposed by the Ding
ley law were cut by the decisions, the
reductions in some instances being
from 60 per cent. to eight per cent ad
valorem. It is estimated that the
rates fixed by the bill are about three
per cent. higher upon an average than
those collected on cotton last year.
Probably the most marked reduc-
tions throughout any schedule In the
bill as a result Of the action OF the
two houses and of the conference COM
mittee are found in the metal sched-
ule. Beginning with decrease in the
rate Of iron ore from 40 to is cents
per ton, there is general reduction
throughout that portion Of the bill.
pig iron going down from 81 to $3.50
per ton, and scrap iron from 81 to 81.
The reduction on many of the items in
this schedule amounts to about so per
cent, and this reduction includes
steel rails. There is an increase on
structural steel ready for use and also
slight increase on razors, nippers
and pliers, and on such new metals
as tungsten.
Rates on Hosiery Increased.
The rates on hosiery are generally
increased. In the much contested mat
ter of the rate on gloves the high pro-
tectionists fail to score. They sought,
through an increase made by the
house, to raise the duty materially
aiSve the Dingley figures. but were
~ gonized by the senate, and the
st,te won, the only change made in
the entire schedule being one slight
reduction.
The silk schedule was reconstructed
with view of imposing specific rath-
er than ad valorem dutiec, with the re-
suit that the average duty will be
somewhat higher under the new law
than under the present statute.
OIL cloths and lineoleum are heavi-
ly cut, but otherwise the changes in
the fax, hemp and jute provision
were not material. A slightly in
creased duty is provided for
hemp, both crude and hacked and
also on certain highgrade laces. On
linen yarns and mattings there is a
reduction.
Sugar and tobacco duties remain
substantially as they are under the
Dingley law. The free importation of
considerable quantities of both of
these articles from the Philippine Is
lands is permitted. and material
change was made in the internal reve-
nue. law by an amendment taking the
tax of the sale Of tobacco in the hand.
There is a uniform increase on spir-
Its. wines and liquors of Is per cent.
Raise Rate on Hops.
In the agricultural schedule hops
are increased from 12 to 16 cents a
pound and there is also an increase
on lemons. figs. almonds and pine
apples.

lower wood pulp and print paper. the
rate on the ordinary newspaper print
paper being fixed at $3.75 per ton in

have been reinstated, while others
have returned to their homes.

That is about the only distinc-
ton between Nature and Kodol.
Kodol can digest food without Ma
lures assistance. Nature, how
ever, frequently needs Kodol very
badly. In chronic dyspepsia-for
instance.
If you could visit the establish
ment of the manufacturers of Ko-
dol-you could see all the kinds of
food fully and completely digested,
in a natural manner, in the labora-
tory test-tubes-you would be en-
tirely satisfied that Kodol digests
food wherever it finds it. And such
is the case.
Kodol is not advertised as a
"cure" for anything. No extrava-
giant claims of any kind are made
for it. Yet we knew positively
what Kodol would accomplishing
any form of Indigestion or dyspep-
sia-before the first spoonful en-
tered a. human stomach.
Kodol is merely intended to rem
der Nature proper aid, in the prop
err way, at the proper time. Yet
that aid is sufficient to quickly rec
tify any digestive trouble. The di-
gestive organs cannot help but be
restored to healthy activity, when
Kodol is used.
