LOWER LEMONS

If we have new tariff the duty on
lemons ought to be lowered or Topped
off Right now the CaliforniS lemon
growers are insisting that the lemon
tarih be LEI alone. and urging that If
the schedule is reduced American
labor as well as American capital will
be harmed. That has familiar sound.
but when it is remembered that the
american labor" consists chiefly of
japanese employed in the lemon groves
of the Pacific Coast. 1t is not hard to
figure out who is being squeezed.
There is duty of n cent and half
the pound on lemons now. There can
be no doubt that the ultimate con-
sumner pays this duty. California is un-
able TO raise more than third of the
lemons required by this country, but
her growers were piling up good
profits years ago before the Payne
Aldrich bill was enacted. Now the
growers simply wish the American
people TO continue to make their
Golfers run over. we should. neverthe-
less, have cheaper lemons. and Cali
fornia can stand the competition with
free lemons

GOING AFTER BUsrSrss.

The Baltimore Sun approves heartily
the plan OF the Richmond merchants
to charter n special train and send II

with local merchants and explain to
them why they should buy their goods
in Richmond" Twenty-Five of the lead.
Ing merchants have agreed to send
representatives on this missionary
tour, and 1t is not unlikely that this
number will be largely Increased.
There is nothing new in this plan of
getting next to customers we should
like to bring to this market. In the
Western cities this method of promot-
Ing business has been utilized for
years, and with very encouraging re-
suits. Baltimore Itself has been in
the habit of inviting out Of town MGR
chants to that city every year. and
with the result that the trade of Bal
timore has been greatly extended.
There Is every reason to believe that
the Richmond undertaking will be
OF permanent value to this town.

Not Salts, Oil or

No Odds How Sick Your Stomach ;
How Hard Your Head Aches or How
BiliouS-Cascarets Make You
Feel Great.

Cascarets acts as a bowel tonic, not
as an irritant. They are vegetable.
Their action is natural. Their effect
is the same as the effect of some
foods. They are gentle; no gripping.
They are pleasant; no dreading. They
are convenient; no waiting.
One old way was castor oil. The eff
feet was to grease the bowels, and for
a single day. Oil never causes the
bowel muscles to act. Other ways
were pills, salts and cathartics. The
effect was the same as pepper in the
nostrils. They flooded the bowels
with fluid. Those fluids were digest
live juices. And the waste today
means lack tomorrow.
We knew that the method was
wrong. That the after-effects only
weakened the bowels. But we had no
gentle laxative in the old days. So
we waited as long as we could. then
took a big dose of physic. The meth
cd today is to take one CaScaret at a
time-juSt as soon as you need it.

feet deep and the water is forced to the
surface either by windmill or gasoline
engine. The water from two of the
wells is forced into a large pool en-
closed in a building and it will be used
for bathing purposes for the people of
the city who enjoy that kind of sport.
This feature is merely a convenience
and a pleasure. while the water for
irrigation is an experiment. He now
has in more than two acres of onions
and as many potatoes. Other garden
