BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 21.-This
is the boy Arthur Duffey has pick
ed as the probable 1925 sprinter
And Duffey ought to be a good
judge, for in his day he was the
fastest thing at 100 yards that ever
laced spike shoes.
Duffey says Australia may boast
of A. B. Postles, South Africa may
claim her R. E. Walker, and Canada
Bobby" Kerr; but in Nelson the
United States has a manor, rath-
er, a boy-who bids fair to eclipse
the best performances of the for.
eigners.
Nelson" says Duffey, combines
all the requisites of a world beaten.
There Is no reason why he
shouldn't do better than all former
American champions. He is built
right, with a stride that makes
the late Bernie Wefers' step seem
slow. Everything is in his favor.
His starting method is crue, but,
carefully coached for a few months,
he should defeat the world at 100
yards"

trade in the 18th abstract Of labor sta
tistics, and from figures in the list
/ bulletin of the United States bureau of
labor
The year 1896 which was the year
preceding the enforcement of the nigh
ly protective Dingley tariff. is taken as
the standard year, the cost of food in
each country being taken as 100. The
meaning of the table is that food
which cost 81 in Great Britain in 1896
could not be duplicated for less than
SLOT in 1906. and that food for which
the American consumer paid 81 in
1896 cost $1.343 in 1906
A Striking Comparison.
Coming nearer home, the difference
in the cost of living in Detroit and
just across the river in Windsor, Can
ada. supplies us with a striking defini-
ton of the real meaning of excessive
tariff rates. Prices of foodstuffs, wear
ing apparel, and rents average from
20 to % per cent more in Detroit than
in Windsor. And between the two
cities there are but 2,561 feet of wa
ter-and the Aldrich-Payne tariff bill
The Detroit man is protected, and
the Windsor man is not.
BY not being protected" the Wind
sor man pays SIS for suit of clothes
that the Detroit man will find it diff
cult to duplicate in quality for S25.
What the Windsor man is escaping in
this instance is the AldrichPayne tax
of "A cents pound on good all-wOol
clothes. and the additional tax of 60
per cent if the value of the goods.

Herpicide

The discovery of the dan
druff germ as the cause Of all
hair troubles is not a recent
event. Professor Unna gave
the germ theory to the world
in 1887 and two years later
Sebouraud by his expert
ments with a rabbit proved
beyond a doubt the actual
existence of this germ.
On the heels of this estab-
hshment of the germ theory
came the discovery of New
bros Herpicide. This was
the first and only remedy
for the destruction of the
dandruff germ.
There have been other
preparations alleged to kill
this germ, stop falling hair
and itching of the scalp. But
Newbro's Herpicide really
does these things. For this
reason it has long been
known as the original RENE
dy and the only one that is
genuine.
Don't be fooled by prep
arations which are trading
upon the marvellous success
of Herpicide. Remember you
take no chances with New
bros Herpicide. 1t is abso-
lutely guaranteed
For sale by all druggists.
Applications at good barber
shops.

troit, Mich, Dept. 3SB, will send

But" protest the protectionlsts,
there has been an increase in the
United States in the cost of many ar
ticles on which there is no tariff. Does
not this show that protection is not
the cause of the increase in the cost
of living"
Answering this question. Senator
Moses E. Clapp, of Minnesota. says:
You will hear it said constantly
with reference to something on which
the price has been advanced. oh. that
isn't the tariff at all. That increase
has nothing to do with the tariff. But
the fact is that the tariff reaches all
along the line. You can't raise the cost
of living to a man who is producing
something to sell without forcing that
man to raise correspondingly the price
of what he has to sell.

and whether Gen. Johnston is to I'll the
vacancy caused by Commissioner Vests
resignation
Incidentally, the question as TO the
length Of service Of the new officials has
been mooted in the District Building and
among persons who are directly inter
ested in the appointment
According TO the Congressional Record,
Mr. Rudolph is appointed for a period of
three years. vice Henry 3. F. Macfar-
land, resigned"
Gen. Johnston is listed in the Record
10 serve a similar term, and to succeed
Commissioner West.
Many have held that both nominees
are to serve out the unexpired terms of
Commissioners MacfarIand and West.
Thus the question Of succession deveI-
oped, and the Congressional Record. ap-
pealed to as a last resort, has decided
numerous wagers.
An opinion Of Attorney General Devens
rendered on July :. 1880. declares that
the term Of office Of any Commissioner
appointed from civil life whose prede-
cessor shall or shall not have served a
fun term Of three years, IS three years
from the date of HIS appointnaent and
until his successor shall be appointed and
qualified, and not for the unexpired part
