When the rates of duty on wool and it's

possible to complete the revision of

I'VE want, however, to call your at

other than carded wooden goods, ami
that the proper way to complete the

I'VE do not claim to be less selfish or

grower to the ultimate consumer will

mittee will bring about such conditions
for the revision Of Schedule X we are
confident that. after the rates of duty

ton of all interests affected, complete
easily and quickly the revision of

I'm conclusion we want to state our
belief that any other course by which
the existing inequalities in the Ding

continuance of the agitation for al
thorough revision of the tariff and thus
keep the country in a state of uncer

WOMAN, LOVELY WOMAN
But Alas, Without Beautiful Hair No
Woman Can Be Handsome.

A great many newspapers and
magazines are printing pages on how
a woman can be beautiful and keep
beautiful.
And everyone, as you can see for
yourself. admits that no woman can
be really beautiful unless she has
lusterous and Iuxuriant hair.
The women of Paris are. as rule,
beautiful and keep beautiful. and a
careful American observer who has
travelled much claims that their
beauty is due to their knowledge of
how to keep their hair luxuriant,
which they do by using a superior
hair tonic.
Many American women are as wise
as their French sisters. and that IS
why Partisan Sage, the quick acting
and greatest of all hair restorers and
tonics. is now having such a tremend-
Gus sale in America.
We ask every woman reader of this
paper to give this marvellous hair
beautifier a thorough trial, and we
gladly make them this liberal offer:

matter Wednesday by reconsidering

bill to reconsider was lost by tie vote
and the assembly is row clear of any
anti-Japanese measure objected to by

there is little chance that the measure

this measure, the reconsideration mo-

his defiance of the President and

its guns" He was answered by Tran
