LONDON, Sept. 26.-The budget Ii
now in operation. 1t is great
triumph in reform, gained after pro-
longed and bitter struggle. With a
large working majority at the begin
ming Of this year, the Liberals passed
the bill. AS was to be expected. the
house of lords would not accept
II inasmuch as ii affected the
taxation of their lands. II touched
their pockets. They referred 1t to
the people. The people decided for
the new scheme of taxation. the far
reaching consequences Of which are
little dreamed of at present by either
the average English citizen or the
American people. =
Under the new law valuators have
been appointed to value the land &C
cording TO its present selling value.
This Is revolutionary. The value up
on which landlords have been assess
ed in the past is one which was fixed
several hundred years ago. Talking
with several members Of parliament
on the subject, I learned that there
is a general feeling among the Lab
erals that the result of this revalua-
ton ought TO be kept private for at
least a year The reason given Is
that the result will be so startling
that il might cause reaction. For 1t
is known, for example, that there are
thousands Of lots in London. each or
which Is worth many thousands or
dollars, and each Of which Is only rat.

these values, especially in unoccupied

the country, will effect great changes,

and IL had not been given much au-
thority. But these little considera-
tions were overlooked by the admin
istration.
The commission has recently been
given much publicity because Of the
program announced by President Taft
for tariff revision, schedule by sched-
ule, based on the commissions re
ports as they should be submitted.
All at once we are disillusiOned.

THE TARIFF COMMISSION

European manufacturers will furnish
the facts needed TO determine Just
tariff duties. In short, the commits
sion is powerless.
And so dispatch from Washington
announces that President Taft will
recommend 10 congress that thu DOW
ers Of the tariff board be enlarged, be-
cause IL finds itself hampered by In
sufficient authority.
Nearly everybody. except possibly
the president, knew this long ago.
And general recognition Of the weak
ness OF the present board has added
force to the demand for new board
with genuine authority.
There seems to be no reason why
congress should not delegate its tariff
making powers to strong, non-parti-
san commission. Thus tariff bill

GERMS IN HER SYSTEM.
Every Woman Should Read
this Advice and the Generous
Offer that Goes With 1t.

The number of diseases pecul-
lar to women is such that we be-
lieve this space would hardly
contain mere mention of their
names, and it is a fact that most
of these diseases are of a
catarrhal nature. A woman
cannot be we'll if there is a trace
of catarrh in her system.
Some women think there is no
help for them. We positively
declare this to be a mistaken
idea. We are so sure of this
that we offer to supply medicine
absolutely free of all cost in
every instance where it fails to
give satisfaction, or does not
substantiate our claims. With
this understanding, no woman
should hesitate to believe our
honesty Of purpose, or hesitate
to put our claims to a test.
There is only one way to over
come catarrh. That way is
through the blood. You may
use all the snuffs, douches or
like remedies for years without
getting more than temporary re-
lief at best. Catarrh in general
is diseased condition Of the
system that shows locally most
frequently in discharges from

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM
1t Is An Internal Disease And Re-
uuires An Internal Remedy.

The cause Of rheumatism and kindred
diseases is an excess of uric acid in the
blood. To cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system SO
regulated that no more acid will be
formed in excessive quantities. Rheuma-
tism is an internal disease and requires
an internal remedy. RUBBING with
Oils and Lisinents WILL NOT CURE,
affords only temporary relief at best,
causes you to delay the proper treat
ment, and allows the malady to get
fir1ner hold on you. Liniments may ease
the pain, but they will no more cure
rheumatism than paint will change the
fber Of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a per-
feet ard complete cure, which is called
Rheumacide. Testedin hundreds OF cases,
1t has effected the most marvellous cures;
We believe il will cure you. Rheumacide
gets at the joints from the inside, sweeps
the pOisOns out Of the system, tones UP
the stomach, regulates the liver and
kidneys and makes you well all over.
Rheumacide strikes the root of the dis.
ease and removes its cause. This splen-
did remedy is sold by druggists and
dealers generally at SOC. and 81 a bottle.

How To Stop
-A-
Stubborn Cough

We don't mean just stop the irri-
tatlon IN your throat but cure the
underlying cause.
Cough syrups cannot do this. It
takes a constitutional tonic body
builder to do the work properly
and cure you to stay cured. Vinol
IS the remedy you need.
HERE IS PROOF
Mrs. Minnie Osgood, of Gler.s Falls,
n. Y, writes:-" CATER trying several REM
ed1es for bad cough and cold without
benefit, I was asked to try VinoI. It
worked like magic. It cured my cold
and cough and gained in health and
strength. 7 consider Vinol the most
wonderful tonic and invigorator i ever
