4 leading eastern paper in com
~ menting on the Maine cleo
ton says that the republican
congressman who voted for the
Payne Aldrich tariff law were saw
agely heckled by the most direct and
awkward questions" On one widely
circulated campaign card such ugly
queries were put to them as the fol-
lowing:
why did you vote to admit raw
silk free and only place a duty of
53 per cent on the manufactured ar
ticfe at the same placing duty of
l35 per cent on wooden or worsted
goods valued al more than 40 cents
a pound? Was it because silk is
used by the greatest number of con
stituents and woolens and worsteds
only by few?
Why did you vote to tax cham
pagne from 81 to GO per cent and
wearing apparel at 80 to 81 per cent?
Was it to encourage your constitu
ents TO drink champagne and to dis
courage them from wearing woolen
clothes?
Why did you vote to tax hats
bringing not over $4 SO per dozen at
II per cent and those valued at more
than $48 per dozen on AZ per cent?
In whose interest was this done your
poor or rich constituencies
There must be reason for your
vote. Will you kindly give it to
your constituents before they vote
September 18th?
The answers given to these ques
tons by the congressman are not
published but they were evidently
not satisfactory to the voters as two
were defeated and the other two were
elected by greatly decreased MAORI
ties
These questions should be put to
Senator Nixon from every stump dur
ing the campaign. He voted 12o
times on the tariff bill and l28 of
those votes were in favor OF nlonopo-
lies and trusts and against the great
mass of consumers.
Senator Nixon you must have had
good reasons for the l2S votes you
cast in favor of the iniquities of the
tariff law. Will you kindly give them
to the people of Nevada before they

whole body about seven years ago and
this settled in my limb, from the knee
20 the toes. 1 went to see great many
physicians, matter which cost me a
fortune. and after noticed that 1 did
not get any relief that way, 1 went for
three years to the hospital. But they
were unable to help me there. / used
all the medicines that could see but
became worse and worse. I had an
inflammation which made me almost
crazy with pain. When l showed my
foot to my friends they would get
really frightened. l did not know
what to do. was so sick and had be-
come so nervous that positively lost
all hope.
Il had seen the advertisement of
the Cuticura Remedies a great many
times, but could not make up my mind
to buy them. for had already used so
many medicines. Finally I did decide
to use the Cuticura Remedies and
tell you that was never so pleased as
when noticed that, after having used
two sets OF Cuticura Soap. Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the en-
tire inflammation had gone. 1 was
completely cured. l should be only
too glad If people with similar disease
would come to me and find out the
truth. would only recommend them
to use Cuucura. Mrs. Bertha Sachs,

A LMOST every woman In the
az summer has n bit of embroidery
4 u to pick up at odd moments. This
work becomes a real pleasure
and at some summer resorts almost
craze. Women work morning, noon
and night on some such dainty gar
ment or useful article as is sketched
on this page today.
The designs which are the most
lasting and the least affected by the
whims of fashion are those of rather
simple lines. A bright woman can
make a good livelihood by specializing
on some simple design. such as a
dainty handkerchief embroidered at
the corners. making her articles to
sell to some exclusive shop.

earn a very good living in many ways.
