bread, timber. lumber. cereals, salt,
sarrles and harness, sewing machines.
and practically all important articles
used by farmers.
The bill was reported from the com.
mittee by a strict party vote without
amendment. The report charges the
Republican party with having failed
to keep its tariff pledges, and in sup
port of the free list bill in addition to
Canadian reciprocity. says: While
the Canadian reciprocity agreement is
a creditable beginning in the sorely
needed work of revising the injurious
tariff provisions. 1t cannot be expect

mentary and partial relief to the peO-
pie" The report then takes up item
by item the articles put on the free
list, together with statistical data to
show that the Democratic free list
bill Is in the interests of the farmer,
and will recompense him for any in
CAPABILITIES that may exist in the Cana
dian agreement.
The free list bill will reduce the
tariff revenue S10.016.496 annually of
the importation receipts of the last
few years.
In the majority report signed by the
Democrats, this amount is said to be

allotted number of subscribers in Rich

Traction company which II is propos.
ed shall finance the deal. 1t was

The committee. which Is composed
of Adam ". Bartel, -. -. Johnson and
Paul Comstock. has reported that it
has encountered practically no trouble
In securing stock subscriptions, and
that the results of its solicitations
have been very encouraging.
As soon as sufficient number OF
local subscribers have been secured,
efforts will he made To dispose of the
remaining stock to residents of the
towns along the proposed route. Union

LIVE UNDER THE SAME ROOF
Then, and Not Until Then, VIII Ysu
Become Really Acquainted
With Your Friends.

Two households may stand side by
side on the same street, two families
live within hailing distance of one
another for years in the same COM
munity, and yet have opposite tastes,
sentiments and convictions. The chill
dren of each growing up together may
marry and, until they reach the period
of new adjustment, never suspect how
antagonistic has been their early
training. This is one reason why the
first year of marriage is SO beset with
briars and thorns. Everybody knows
that until people actually dwell under
the same roof they do not mutually
become acquainted. A single week
spent with a friend at house party
does more to promote intimacy or In
difference than years Of superficial
social intercourse.
The touch-and-go meetings Incl
dental to teas and receptions are the
merest suggestions of personality,
but when one sits day after day be-
side the fire or at the table with a
nefghbor, each ceasing to be on
guard, real understanding begins
Even correspondence, which to de-
gree is in the nature Of revelation,
does not make people so well ac-
quainted and is by no means so true
a test of disposition and tempera-
ment as the test of living together.
During courtship and betrothal an en-
gagged pair are on probation. Without
effort each displays qualities of charm
that cannot fail to be att active. The
most ordinary speech has flavor of
compliment. The future husband and
wife are walking through land of
dreams. Shall the dreams come true?
They surely will If on both sides there
are fixed principles Of honor, justice
and fidelity. Mrs. Sangster In Won.
ans Home Companion.

WATER POWER
IN SWITZERLAND
Twelve Thousand Horse Power From
the River Kander to Operate
Railway.

BERLIN, Aug. An engineering
feat has just been accomplished In the
Cantonment Of Berne in Switzerland
the results Of which are of consider
able interest to those Americans who
year by year visit the Riviera and the
Mediterranean coast. great plant
has been erected in the valley of the
River Kander to convert the power
of the stream into electric current
which will be utilized to run the
Loetsch Mountain railway which con-
meets with the Simplon route This
new undertaking will greatly shorten
the journey from north and northwest
Europe to the Mediterranean, and be-
sides, will relieve travellers of the
necessity of undergoing the dirty,
sooty ordeal of the old ST. Gotthard
tunnel.
1t is highly probable that the ques-
ton of the electrif1cation OF the st.
Gotthard line will now be hurried for
ward, otherwise the advantages of the
new Loetsch railway are likely to
divert the whole of the tourist traffic
to itself.
The turbines OF the new plant,
which has just been opened. deliver
5000 to 10000 horsepower, which is
converted into high tension, single
phase, alternating current.

GOOD REMEDY FOR HIcc0UGH
spasmodic contractIons Of Diaphragm
Stopped Instantly by Small Guam
tlty of Powdered Sugar.

Hiccough is sudden and spasmodic
contraction of the diaphragm, deter
mining a brusque shock to the walls
OF the abdominal and thoracic cavity,
and is accompanied by rough and
inarticulate sound caused by the sud
den closure and sonorous vibration of
the vocal cords.
Among the numerous remedies EN-.
ployed against the disagreeable symp-
toms there is one recommended by
DR.. Petit of Beaumont, France, which,
although not really new, Is but little
known. 1t has the merit of being ex-
tremely simple and Is said to be re-
markably efflcacious.
1t consists simply in swallowing as
quickly as possible tablespoonful Of
powdered sugar without any admixture
with water. The hiccough will be i'm
mediately stopped If it comes on
again, the same remedy again will be
found successful
What is the action Of the powdered
sugar? Probably it sets up a kind of
reflex action. The sugar certainly
plays no specific role In this case, and
1t is probable that any inert powder
would have the same effect.
DR.. Petit has made use of this rem
edy for some years, and 1t has rarely
failed Accordingly he recommends
recourse to 1t even when the case OF
hiccoughs may have resisted all the
standard remedies.

AMERICAN DOLLAR
rs ATTRACTIVE
All Over Europe There Is a Scramble
This Summer to Gather
Them In.

BERLIN, Aug. 1.-THE American
flag is now supreme in Europe in the
sense that nearly all the business
classes in the countries of the old
world are paying court to the al
mighty dollar. This summer. more
than ever before, the American tourist
is more in evidence than the strang
ers of any other country, and quite
exceptional efforts are being made to
cater to his needs.
European hotels have become more
American in style and even run the
risk of offending their clients of other
nationalities in order to give their
transatlantic customers just what
they want in the way of accommodate
tions and cuisine In the same way
the shop windows of all European
cities are decorated with the special
intention of attracting the American
eye and Of enticing the TRANSATLANTIC
visitor to leave some portion of his
money-bags with that particular
tradesman. All the health and pleas
ure resorts frequented by fashionable
society during the summer months
are literally overrun by Americans,
who seem to own the whole world.
The Americans have entirely re-
placed the English as to the greatest
travellers, and they are extremely
popular in all European countries on
account of the generosity with which
they spend their money. In Berlin IT.
self there have been so far double as
many American visitors this summer
as English visitors, and the same pro-
portion from Carlsbad, Marienbad and
other popular resorts. In Switzerland
the proportion of Americans is said to
be even greater.

NEW METHOD
TO END STRIKE
Continued from page ~

prohibiting the labor union from
striking and requiring it, in case a
strike has been called. to rescind the
order calling the strike.
1T is obvious that If this is a law,
way has been pointed out for hand
ling these labor difficulties which will
be more economical and efficient than
any method that has yet been sug-
gested."
1t was reported that the last of the
strike breakers imported within the
last two or three days had left town
early this morning. II there are any
strike breakers in Des Moines they are
not making their presence known
Louis ]. Christensen. the Chicago
detective, who was to have led the
strike-breaking contingent in operat-
Ing the cars, said he expected his per-
Tod Of usefulness In Des Moines was
ended.
An explanation which accounts for
the hurried exodus of the strike
breakers was offered by union lead
ers. The police of Des Moines almost
to a man are friendly to the strikers.
When Police Commissioner Zell Roe
refused to put policemen on cars
operated by the imported conductors
and motormen he reversed the usual
order which makes the officers guards
of the strike breakers.
