VOTES MONEY
FOR PRESIDENT
But House Turns Down Tariff
Board Proposition

Washington, May 25-Although the
house voted to appropriate $2b0,000 to
be used by the president in investi-
eating the cost of production of man
ufactured articles at home and abroad,
Representative Tawney, chairman of
the appropriations committee, failed
in his fight to retain in the sundry
civil bill the provision creating a tar
iff board with enlarged and compre-
hensive powers. Consequently, while
the president may use the sum in
question in connection with the pres
ent board, there was no action which
might be held to give any tariff board
or commission legislative sanction.
Mr. Tawney made a likely fight to
retain the tariff board provision, of
which he is the author, in the meas
ure and rewrOte the provision several
times. Each time it was held out of
order, however, until he eliminated
from the language of the provision
any reference to the proposed new
board. Then Representative Mann of
Illinois, who was in the chair, held that
the provision was in order. Incl
dentally, Representative Serene E.
Payne of New York, Republican floor
leader and chairman of the ways and
means committee, who was progress
sive and stood with the Democrats in
opposition to the tariff board feature,
turned around and voted with Mr.
Tawney and his party to place the
quarter of a million at the disposal OF
the president.
The provision as it was finally re.
tanned in the bill reads as follows:
''To enable the president to secure
information to assist him in the dis
charge of the duties imposed on him
by the tariff law, approved Aug. 3,
1909, and the officers of the govern
ment in administering the customs
laws, including such investigation of
the cost of commodities, covering the
cost of material, fabrication and every
other element of such cost of produc-
tion as are authorized by said tariff
act, including the employment of such
persons as may be required for these
$3.50, 000.'

SAYS FARMER IS SATISFIED
Congressman Martin Talks About
High Cost of Living.

| Washington, May 25-That the
American hog is much more val
liable ''critter'' to have on an American
! farm nowadays than is generally sup
posed was amply demonstrated in the
house by Representative Martin of
South Dakota. Mr. Martin also dem
0nstrated why the American farmer
smokers these days when he hears
cries or rage over the high cost of
living
The farmer has no complaint 70
make in these piping times" said
representative Martin. 1.-The high cost
of living enables him to live high
There was time when the farmer got
the worst of it. Now he is getting his
share and he is prosperous and con-
tented"
Representative Martin then read to
The house a statement prepared in the
department of commerce and labor
showing the prosperity of the farmer
as compared with the rest of the COM
munty.
The farmer is not kicking" said
Mr.. Martin. HE is not selfish. but at
the same time he would view with
alarm the passing of the era Of high
prices"

Cleanliness.
The advice commonly given in poul-
try papers concerning cleanliness in
hicts. upon the poultry keeper more
labor than need be. 1t is all right for
the fancier. who sells his birds for
high prices and whose profits depend
largely upon the impression his plant
makes upon the visitor. to sweep the
floors of his chicken house with as
much care as the housewife does her
parlOr. But the farmer and the utii-
ty poultry keeper cannot afford to i'll
crease their labor unnecessarily. for
the labor bill ut best is the heaviest
item in poultry keeping.
There is general notion prevalent
that filth causes disease. This, strictly
speaking, is not correct, and lack of
cleanliness does not breed disease. al
though contagious diseases can be
checked by Il disinfectant. which, of
course, involves reasonable cleanli-
ness. Poultry il given dry whole
grain will have no opportunity to get
filth in their food, and if the house is
dry. so that no fumes of ammonia
are given off. there is no need of re-
moving the droppings more than once
a month. In winter time they can be
allowed to accumulate for even longer
periods
In mild climates where birds are on
Tree range commercial poutrymen
only clean their poultry houses about
twice year. Damp poultry houses,
even with the most scrupuIOus care
IN cleanliness; will never give salts

Of Raising Strong, Healthy Girls.

A serious problem which presents it. self to every mother with girls to raise, Tn these days. The exigencics Of eehooi fife, the hurry and routine of every day duties, the artificial environment of modern civilization, make it more difficult to rsike- stror1g, healthy girls than ever in the history. of the world.
 Boys raise -rherhselves. Give them room, give them liberty, and they will grow up healthy at least, without much worrying. But the girls present ser ious problem.
 How many mothers there are who are worrying about their daughters. Ner- vous, puny girls, with poor, capricious sppetites, bioodless, listleSs, constant anxiety to the mother. How shall she solve her problemY Towhom shall she turn for help? Each case is more or less g study by 1itseH,- and cannot be solved by any general rule.
 This is the way one mother solved the problem. Mrs. Schopfer, 5a2O Prescott Ave-, St. Louis, Mo-, in a letter to- Dr. Hartman, ssys:f"My daughter Alice, four years of age, was puny, sickly, ailing child since she was born. l was always doctoring her. When we com menced to use Peruna she grew strong and we'll"
 Another mother, Mrs. Martha Moss, R.F.D.5, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, rays: "Our- little eight-year-old girl had S bad cough, and was in general run down condition" She had several doctors, wi could give the child no re- lief. and the mother no encouragement.
 Finally, she got bottle of Peruna and commenced giving it to the child, snd it proved to be just what she needed. When she commenced taking Peruna the child had to be carried.
 Now the mother says she is playing around all the time.
 Her closing words were: "You have done z great deal for her. She is the only girl We have, and it meant lots to us to have her cured"
 These are samples of many letters which Dr. Hartman is receiving, com- ing straight from the hearts of loving mothers. While the different schools of medicine are pickering and differing ss to theories and remedies, Peruna goes right steadily on giving permanent relief. After all, it is cures that the people want. Theories are of little account.

Moreover Doriel Ledyard possessed
the all too rare gift of knowing exactly
how to get the utmost possible effect
out of beautiful gown, and when the
night of the dinner party arrived there
was no one, of either sex, among her
guests who was not ready to declare
that the beautiful Lady Ledyard had
absolutely surpassed herself.
After dinner was over, and while the
dessert was still on the table, liqueurs
were brought in, and at the same time
a large tray was handed round, on
which was superb liqueur set in gold
and crystal. The design was so original
and the whole workmanship so remark
able that several of the guests ventured
to inquire of Lady Ledyard where it had
come from.
sOh, as to that" she remarked. 'vou
must ask my husband, as it was his
present to me. ! am afraid it must have
been dreadfully extravagant of HIM"
Meanwhile, Fulton Ledyard was star
ing at the respondent liqueur set, won
dering whether he was in the middle of
a weird nightmare, or what in the world
was happening.
Later in the evening when all the
guests had taken their departure, he
and his wife were left alone in the draw
ing room. She was sitting on the arm
of chain, slowly drawing off her long
white gloves, and, with one tiny white
hand, she beckoned to him to come and
sit in the chair beside her.
Putting one arm caressingly round his
neck, she said, softly, "Wen, Fulton,
whose table do they look Jest on"
Without a word, he drew her face
down towards him and kissed her. and
that was all that ever passed between
them on the subject.
A very short time afterwards. how
ever, Miss Aggie Vandeleur confded to
one of her most particular friends that
she was afraid that Fulton Ledyard was
"a dreadfully tickle boy."-London Mod
ern Society.

melancholy, imbecility or mania among
those afflicted with pellagra, and many
end their days in insane asylums.
The regions in which it prevails most
extensively are northern Italy, the Aus
trias, Gascony, Roumania, Corfu, and
Egypt. 1t has been recognized in Bar
BADGES and among the Zulus and Basutos
of South Africa, as well as in India. 1t
is a malady essentially of a chronic char
acter, and its victims are generally,
though not always, cultivatOrS of the
soil.
The conditions prevailing in LON
hardy, where the attribution of pellagra
to the eating of damaged maize probably
had its origin, are such as naturally gave
the theory a strong appearance of prob
ability. Among the Lombard peasanrry
maize is a staple article of diet What
they have eaten has not been the export
from America. 1t has been grain Of
their own growing, the produce of poorly
cultivated ground, sown late. harvested
before maturity, stored carelessly in its
wet state and either made into sort Of
porrldge or into loaves which were baked
hastily on the surface and left wet with
in, large enough for a weeks cOnsump-
ton, and apt to turn sour and moldy be-
fore the week had expired.
If the result of the pending expert i'll
quiry is to remove suspicion from corn
and fix it on Il sand-tiy, the next thing to
do will be to discover if possible effective
means of waglng war against the sand
fly. Pellagra makes little response to
remedies 1t is a disease for which an
ounce of prevention is better than a

IMMUNE TO SNAKE POISON.
The Lerot Showed No III Effects of Viper
Bite--Case of Pig and Hedgehog.

The remarkable combats of the Indian
mongoose with venomous snakes. in
which it always comes off victor. are
we'll known. The fact that it invariablg
survives has led to the suggestion that
it is immune to snake poison Other ami
mails said to be immune are the pig and
the hedgehog.
With regard TO the mongoose. indeed.
this immunity has been denied, and if
bitten it is said to fall victim as rap
idly as other -nimals. If this be true,
then it must owe its victories to its won
derful agility in avoiding the bites of
the reptile. However this may be. some
recent experiments of NJ. G.. Billiard
show that an animal of the dormouse
family must be added to the list of the
immune.
This animal is known as the lerot and
is said to fight fiercely with v;pers NJ.
Billiard injected large doses Of viper's
poison into the lerot and found that no
i'll effect followed On one occasion.
again, one of them was bitten badly on
the eye by a viper and no signs of pois-
oning followed. There can then. be no
doubt that the lerot is immune to snake
poison.-London Globe.

THE TIMES BURIED UNDER US.
Caisson Sinkers Dig Up Few Specimens
in West Street.

Manhattan islands shore line has
changed a great deaf since the days
of the Dutch, when the tide of the North
river set In as far as the rear wall OF
Trinity churchyard ana whenever q
modern building sinks its foundation
into the mud along West street the dig
gers are pretty sure to unearth relics Of
an older day. When the work of sinking
the sixty caiSSOnS for the foundation
of the thirty-one story annex to the
| Whitehall building got well under way
! the sand hogs and muckers began to turn
up fragments of old blue chinaware ana
old coins.
At a depth of about 16 feet below
the present West street level the eXca-
vators found an umbrella handle WIFI
the date 1928 scratched on it. Very
likely the umbrella users of those days
had the same difficulty in keeping pos
session Of their property as those of to
| day, for beneath the date on the handle
was cut the name of John Hale. Several
coins, some of them thought to be Span
ish. have been found, but they Were
quickly pOcketed by the sand hogs and
10 one about the works yesterday could
say what date they bore. One of the
diggers found a large copper piece with
n pre-RevolutIOnary date. He refused ala
| offer of 50 for it on general principles.
At the tide level the diggers came upon
| q network of heavy timbers, the cribhin@
| of old piers east of West street. The
/ timbers are as sound as the day they
were laid and are making the work Of
the eXcavatOrs troublesome.
! Among the other finds was a heavy
gourd shaped vessel which apparently
once had its place as an ornament on
