WORK ON TARIFF

experts regard this as an oversight and
think that IL should be rectified.
In the event Of the adoption OF an addl-
tlonal section which would enable the pres
ident to extend the agreement at some
future time, these experts would consider
the use OF the word wholly" to be abso-
lutely necessary.
Members Of the ways and means com
mittee intend to take steps to indicate
their purpose TO proceed with revision
OF the tariff in the event they fail TO tack
any revisions Of schedules on the Canadian
bill. They say they will make it clear that
they will follow the Canadian bill with one
or two schedules in any event, and that
the house will be held in session long
enough 70 give the senate opportunity TO
act. Il 10 the general opinion that the
Canadian agreement wiz be sent to the
senate by May /, less than thirty days
after the special session IL called TO order
IL is impossible to estimate how long
the Canadian question will be before the
senate. No action can be taken at this
time even to ascertain sentiment, for
nearly half Of the finance committee was
decimated by death and the fickleness OF
political fortune and the vacancies will
have to be filled before any action can be
taken.
II is almost certain Senator Penrose will
be the chairman Of the committee, but
there is sure to be struggle over the
question OF filling the vacancies. OF course
the friends OF the Canadian agreement
will try TO have the vacancies filled with
men friendly to that measure, but the out
come is uncertain

AN EASY AND HARMLESS WAY
TO DARKEN THE HAIR

Who does not know Of the value OF
sage and sulphur for keeping the hair
dark soft glossy and in good condi-
ton? AS a matter Of fact, sulphur IS
a natural element Of hair, and a de-
ficiency OF 1t in the hair is heh by
many scalp specialists to be connected
with loss Of color and vitality Of the
hair. PROFESSIONALLY, there is no
better remedy for hair and scalp
troubles, especially premature gray
ness, than sage and sulphur, II prop

Company of New York put up an ideal
remedy of this kind called Wyeths
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy and

guarantee that the money will be re-
funded II It fails to do exactly as
represented.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle and Is
recommended and sold by

than former. Senator Joseph II. Willard Of
the Omaha National bank. The two men

According TO Mr.. Willard. Moffat came to

was that of teller In the Bank OF Ne

Moines. The following year Mr.. Moffat be-
came cashier.

and about az poor financially as boys Of
that age can be.
AT the time Of the gold discovery in
Colorado Mr. Moffat became associated
with c. c. woolworth. then in the book
and stationery business here. and they
went across the plains together TO Denver
and opened the first news establishment

He was connected with the great Mof-

This is the first time that the bakery
has been called upon TO feed a division

without half trying Captain L. r. Hol-
brook Of the Fifth cavalry and Commissary
Sergeant Pat Dunno, share the credit
o fthe establishment. They invented IL
and patented it and then let the War de-
pertinent have the use Of It for nothing.
Like every other bakery. that on the
drill grounds has two departments. In one
the best white flour is kneaded into dough
and in the other il Is baked. Opposite each
Of the ovens-there are twelve Of them
Stands a regulation khaki colored tent Of
regulation size In these are sheltered the
troughs and sponge cans-two Of the
former and three Of the latter in each.
Three Sponges an Hour.
In the cans a sponge Of dough is set
every twenty minutes. As It takes only
twenty minutes to bake a loaf, balSings are
thus regulated. 1t is a scientific operation
throughout. The temperature of the tents
are maintained at 80 degrees, it having been
shown that the best results are thus OBJ
tanned.
ovens and accessories are designed to fit
into one wagon, without exceeding the
g. 900 pounds limit. The ovens are built of
sheet iron and asbestos. They are big
and look heavy, but this is deceptive. Ger
tain parts Of the ovens are collapsible and
with other accessories, may be packed
within the actual baking chambers
The products of the individual baking
crews are kept separate in order that any
defects may be detected and remedied The
bread is stored on racks I'm tents.
An essential advantage Of the army oven
is that It can be made ready for baking
within twenty minutes. The present
division could pitch camp and within an
hour OF setting up the ovens brief task,
be served with absolutely fresh bread

ARMY PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED
VIZ Department Would Learn Needs
ThrouEh the ManenverH.

W Department would Learn Needs
Through the Maneuvers.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-One OF the
principal questions which the War depart
ment hopes 70 settle as a result of the
maneuvers in Texas and California Ia
whether the army as now organized is
provided with an overstock or with an
insufficient equipment of wagons, tents
and supplies. This is matter over which
there has been a division OF opinion among
army officers, some holding that the army
would be hindered on a march by the large
amount OF impedimenta it carries, while
others think that IL should be even more
heavily equipped.
Major General Leonard Wood, chief OF
staff in discussiong the maneuvers today
said that another question which 1t was
expected to decide was whether there
should be a reorganization OF the cavalry.
II is contended that this branch Of tho
service should be more In accord with
the system in use in several European
countries where the size Of the cavalry
with each division Of the army Is much
smaller than in this country.
He explained that on the present army
basis a division OF troops when on COM
plete army footing would spread over
eleven or twelve miles when marching To
determine whether this was too unwieldy
a body and whether il could be reduced in
certain respects, the troops would b,
formed into complete divisions.
