WOULD AMEND LAW
FIGHTS FOR A REVISION OF THE
PRESENT TARIFF AT
ONCE.
CUMMINS TALKS FULL REVISION
The Iowa Senator Wants the Law
Amended Section by Section
Duties Now Excessive and lnexcus
able He claims-Was interrupted.

Washington, Dec. 14.--Contending
that the present tariff law imposes ex
cessive duties and that the country at
large demands its amendment, Senator
Cummins OF Iowa delivered a speech
in the senate in advocacy of his reso
luton limiting the power of amend.
ment of bills dealing with the separ.
ate schedules of the law.
The speech was the first attack OF
the session of the Fayne-Aldrich laS,
and it received careful attention.
The Iowa senator disavowed any in.
tention of opening up general tariL
discussion. Still, be found 1t difficult
to avoid general expression on tariff
questions.
IL Is well known" he said, that
consider excessive and innexcusabla
many Of the duties levied by the law
OF 1909. | know also that many per
sons believe the law should be amend
ed. In the recent political struggle
did not hear single utterance by q
Republican that did not admit tha,
the law contains duties that ought tc
be changed and that 1t is the duty o.
congress to act speedily"
Declaring, further, that under exist
ing parliamentary usage in the hous,
and senate the amendment of a tariff
law is out OF the question, he con
tended that the first step to be taker
was the modification of the rules 81
as to render it possible to amend al
individual provision of the law with
out taking up the entire tariff ques
tion.
THE real ISSUE he said, 'is wheth
or we shall so amend cur rules as t.
permit the amendment of the law
schedule by schedule"
Mr.. Cummins had not proceeded fa,
until he was compelled to submit tt
interruptions. Aldrich, Hale, Lodge
and Carter participated in the debate

BURIED LUNA HERE
Body Of Young Mexican Had Been Held
Two Weeks, But Father Failed
to Send for It.

Thursday, just two weeks from
the time of death. the body of Jose
Luna, the young Mexican flute play
er of the Curtiss Comedy company's
orchestra, was, buried IN Odd
Fellows cemetery.
Although Joe" as he was called,
died nearly $500 miles from his home
he was among friends and during
his sickles prior to his death he re-
ceived the best of attention. On
the afternoon of December / Faith.
er Gallagher administered the rites
of the Catholic church and about
$50 that evening Joe" died as he
had lived through his sickness. quiet
ly and without complaint.
He was q years old and had been
in the United States only six months,
The only English he spoke was what
he had learned during that time. He
was sick when he left the Raymond
circus at Dallas, Tex, and joined the
Curtiss Comedy Company at Shreve-
port, La, eight weeks before com.
ing to Mena. He was suffering
from an attack of the worst form OF
malaria, but did not stop his work
until the Friday of the week pre-
ceding the week the company came
| to Mena. He was at Leesville, La,
at that time.
Joe Greenfield, the claronet player
of the orchestra. took a great inter
est in the sick man and wrote al.
most daily to his father. Ignacio
Luna, who is said to be a very
wealthy man, living at Guadalajara,
Mex. Before Joe" died Greenfield
wired the father that he was not ex.
pected to live and requested him to
come at once. He got an answer
saying he could not come unless alb
solutely necessary. When Joe died,
another message was sent asking
what disposition should be made OF
the body, but no answer was ever
received. On December 5 Postmas'
ter Levi Wimberly received tele.
gram from Samuel E. Magill, the
American consul at Guadalaiara
asking il Jose Luna died here on De.
cember l. Mr.. Wimberly answered
in the affirmative and few days
later received a letter confirming
the telegram and explaining thai
the father seemed to feel that his
son was not dead.
A. Patton, the undertaken, had EN-
balmed the body and has been hold
ing it here awaiting word from tht
father. When Postmaster Wimber
ly received a letter yesterday from
the consul stating that he had moi
heard from Ignacio Luna since he
had told MIN of the confirmation
of the boys death, it was decided
that it would be best to bury the
body here. The expenses were
paid by the Catholics of Mena and
A. Patton, probably assisted by the
Curtiss Comedy Company. Father
Gallagher conducted the funeral
services.

Money and expense are not essential to
artistic homes and attractive rooms. One
dollar and fifty cents worth of material
will completely transform crude, mar
tistic room into a graceful, dainty apart
ment.
Really il is good taste and skill that
makes the home homelike. That dainty
touch is worth twice as much as money.
Wall paper is expensive-it costs money
to buy it, to hang it and again to re,
move it. With the use of the alabastined
wall there is only the slight cost of the
material--any one can brush it on--and It
is not necessary to wash it off the wall
when a fresh coat is required.
II is very easy to mix, very simple TO
apply, but the results are simply beauti.
full. A whole house can be done at Just
a little more than the cost OF single
room when ordinary materials are used.
And this is true, that now that we have
80 much better materials for use in the
decoration of our homes, that wall paper,
common kalsomine and paint are now as
much out of date as the old time white
wash. tallow candles and rough hewn
floors. Mere money is no longer an es'
sential in good housefurnishing in artistic
home making.
The new materials and labor-saving ma,
chimes are most welcome to us all-and
every thoughtful woman, every woman
who cares for her home, is quick to utilize
them.

BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said 1t was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what 1t was to sleep we'll from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours Of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally got set Of the Cuticura
Remedies and I am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited year
and half to. see If 1t would return
