THE TARIFF FIGHT.
Senator Elkins' Bitter Attack on
New England Solons.

The framing of the new tariff bill
il proving a subject OF great difilcuity
10 our national lawmakers. Apart
from the widely divergent views OF the
members OF both houses OF legislation.
there il a storm of criticism OF the
Payne bill pouring into Washington
from every section of h country.
Thousands Of protests from the "ultt
mate consumer against dear clothes
dress goods. wouien's gloves and nos
iery and a variety OF articles used In
feeding, clothing and housing the peo-
pie are reaching Congress by letters
petitions and complaints. These are
having their effect upon the lawmakers
and are putting them In a rather nerv-
u condition.
While the tariff struggle in the
House is causing deep anxiety. the
Payne bill Is also ruffiing the placidity
Of the Senate. One noted feature OF
the discussion in that body was the
flank attack made by Senator Elkins.
Of West Virginia. on his W party.
Senator Elkins. who seldom addresses
the Senate. took the floor and bitterly
raked the New England senators-Ald-
rich. Hale and Lodge-members OF the
Finance Committee. which is in charge
of the tariff bill. He said that the time
had come when there ought to be a
protest registered in the Senate against
the disposition of New England Sena-
tors to cruelty the South" New Eng
land, he asserted. was in favor of free
trade in all products OF the South
which were raw material for New Eng
land. but was willing that the South
should pay protection prices III all the
products of New England manufact-
urers. He declared that he stood ready
to protest against placing on the free
list such articles as coal. iron and
hides, products of the South, in order
that New England might enjoy free
raw materials. He charged that the
three New England members Of the
Finance Committee were playing on
the traditional tendencies OF the South
ern Democrats toward free trade in
order to carry out the scheme Of free
raw materials for New England.
An attempt was made by Senator
Lodge to deprive Senator Elkins of the
privilege Of the floor by moving an ex-
ecutive session. but this was side
tracked. and Senator Elkins resumed

TAKE CARE OF YOUR MOUTH.
Many Deadly Diseases May Thus he
Prevented

1t Is only by slow degrees that til,
public is learning to realize the impor.
tant part which the regular and intel.
1gcnt care Of the nose. mouth and
throat plays In relation to the genera,
health of the individual. The need OF
such personal hygiene Is apparent ON
every hand. 1t is probably not an ex.
aggeration to say that one of every
three persons living on the Atlantis
seaboard Is afflicted with nasal ca.
tarrh il is asserted on high authority
that 30 per cent of school children are
victims of neglected mouths, and the
daily papers have lately contained
many items regarding the prevalence of
d~iphtheria. tonsilitis. bronchitis and
other throat diseases.
Attention to the nose with the nasal
douche and a good antiseptic wash en-
ables a person to breathe freely In the
proper and natural way-through the
nose. Mouth breathing. to which many
people are addicted, Is a dangerous
habit. The mouth, which has been elo-
quently termed "the very vestibule Of
life," is the natural entry port OF the
germs the mouth breather inhales
these germs directly into the lungs, or
they gather In the mouth and throat,
and unless combated they gain entrance
to the system.
1t has been said by an eminent dent
list that the greatest sanitary reform
In the world il the herculean task Of
revolutionizing the unsanitary and In
fictitious condition Of the human mouth.
Every man. and child with nat
ural teeth is more or less q sufferer
from mouth infection. In recent years
1t has been forced upon the medical
profession that bad oral conditions are
more often the cause OF systemic dis
orders rather than the effect.
1t Is a noteworthy fact that the germ
OF pneumonia-the scourge OF our
northern climate-can be found In the
mouths of almost all healthy people.
It's action becomes effective when the
NIlaIltN III the system ms D1p0 iOW-
cred. In almost all cases. moreover,
the consumptive is. first Of all. a mouth
breather and the victim Of unsanitary
conditions In the mouth cavity. In like
manner, the neglect Of the throat is re-
sponsible for many serious diseases,
such AZ diphtheria. tonsilitis and bron-
chitis. Especially is this true In chill
dren.
1t II an encouraging sign Of the times
that many Of the school authorities
throughout the country are now adopt
ing practical mea to teach the
children the Importance OF maintaining
sound teeth and clean mouths and car.
ing for the nose and throat. Proven
ton Is the dominant note in modern
medical progress and it seems safe to
prophesy that the use OF efficient anti
septics soon will largely eliminate the
many ~preventable diseases which pre-.
vail today.

empty how a few minutes afterward he
had seen deceased lying in the drive just
as he lay when the other physicians

this evidence was corroborated by the
elder physicians.
Then your opinion 10 that Mr.. Tren-
hams horse threw him and on its home

and trampled him to deathy"
That WAS. under the circumstances, the
only opinion the physicians could form.
Deceased had been crushed upon his chest
by = horses tread. Mr.. TrenhAm had
been violently thrown upon the temple.
No blood had been split. and 10 the case
was simple and inc%ontroyerfibe.
