LONGWORTH BRINGS
Up TARIFF BILL
POWERS OF COMMISSION LIN.
ITED-NO AUTHORITY TO PUN
ISH VIOLATORS OF LAW.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The tariff
commission bil' framed by Repre-
sentative Longworth of Ohio, was
introduced in the house today The
bill was framed after conferences
with President Taft and insurgent
republicans. 1t provides for a per
manent tariff board, with pow,
its friends say, that make it a tho
oughiy efficient body, particularly
as to facilities for investigation.
The Longworth bill confers on
power to subpoena witnesses and
call for books and papers from per-
sons engaged in producing, import
ing and distributing articles under
tariff investigation, but the power
to punish any person for failure
to appear or to produce evidence,
is reserved to congress, the com
missions power in that respect be-
ing confined to a full report of
the matter to congress.
Much of the information which
will prove of most value to congress
is expected to be acquired through
confidential statements to the com.
mission on the understanding that
names of persons giving the infor
nation will not he made public.
The bill provides. for five commits
sioners at $500 each annuany, not
more than three of them of the
same party, appointive for different
periods at first, but automatically
the tenures are TO become for six
years. All, including the chairman,
are to be appointed by the presi-
dent ang the commissioners are to
be confirmed by the senate.
Endorsement of the Longworth
hill was made tonight by John Cam
der Cobb on behalf of the National
Tariff commission association, of
which he is president. Mr. Cobb
said the measure incorporated the
best features of all the bills under
discussion.

the Year 1910.


The Norvell-Shapleigh Hardware
Company, st. Louis, Mo-, report gain
ir sales for 1910 over 1909 of 81 ,45O,-
900. in 1909 they gained more than
$l.50000O over 1908. In two years
they have therefore gained over 3d.
100000 in sales.
The company stated their gain in
1910 was made by the same number
of statesmen, and without opening any
new territory, or making any chag-
es in their lines of goods.
There was no speculative buying
of hardware in 1910, and merchants
only bought goods as they needed
them.
The company attribute their re-
markable gains to Good Service

and the result was so close as TO
leave but little margin for the victor

The official records of the health
department for the year show that
there were 1920 deaths in the city

births, 962 were whites and "a ne

Pneumonia's toll for the year was
greater than any other one sickness,

the year. OF contagious diseases tu'

deaths, that disease claiming Is VIC

The record of both births and
deaths in the city during the year
1910 exceeds that of the previous
year. This is attributed to the fact
that the system of securing data on

BAD BLOOD
OFTEN INHERITED

Bad blood does not always come as
the result of careless living, or indis-
cretions; it is a condition frequently
inherited. Normal, healthy blood
contains millions of tiny red corpus
cles, which are the vitalizing and
nourishing element of the circulation,
their office being to provide every
portion of the system with its neces-
sary strength and nutriment. In
weak, impure blood these corpuscles
are lacking in numbers, and therefore
the blood is not able to supply the
proper amount of nourishment to the
body. Bad blood mauifests itself in
many ways, With some it takes the
form of skin diseases and eruptions.
others become bilious and malarious,
with sallow compilations, torpid liver,
etc. Bad blood produces Rheumatism,
Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers. Scrofula
and like troubles. Nothing is equal
to S. S. S. as a remedy for bad blood;

 He mounted at once and returned to the store.

 Joe summed his observations up in one word-"Murder!"
 "Where?" he questioned curiously.

 "Ah! Anything I can do?"
 ''Yes; give me a bottle of 'Dop'."
 The trader reached the required bottle from a shelf and handed it to his customer.
 Anything else?"
 "No."
 Guy went out and deposited the bottle in his wallet. Then he mount ed again. Joe had followed him out. The horseman lifted his reins and be- gan to move away, but he changed his mind and drew up sharply. Turn ing, he looked down at the ferret face staring up at him from the tent door.
 ''Joe, I shall be back in a while; and when return we are going to Mafeking. So be ready. S'long."
 He rode away without waiting for a reply. The other watched him un- til he had passed out of sight. Then he turned back into his tent.

 Backache is a symptom of organic weakness or derangement. If you have backache don't neglect it. To get permanent relief you must reach the root of the trouble. Nothing we know of will do this so surely as Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound.

CHAPTER XVIII. The FreebOotefs.

The wave-like undulations of the plain roll away to the horizon. The lank grass droops under the blazing sun. Though the heat of the day Is passing, it is not yet the time when it lifts beneath its burden. There is no shelter here; there is no relief.
 A herd of springbok Is browsing in the distance. There is not house or. a bush in sight, and the ponder ous wagons making the trek of the Salt-pan flats must carry their own fuel for the campfire, and use it sparingly. The springbok. is the only creature to use the great plains. The hartebeest and koodoo and the slow valleys and the more difficult places. just as the lesser buck haunt the bush.
 The red sand road which heads away towards >Kunwana in the west. and leaving behind 1t Lichtenburg. and farther eastwards Pretoria, winds it's ribbon-like course from end to
 = end of the plain. Where it is lost to view in the distant rise and fall of the land, it's course can be detected by occasional eddies of dust which, funnel-shaped, rise upon a whirllng breath of air towards the hard, blue vault above.
 In one of the troughs between the high-rising land-waves there is a camp within few feet of the road. It is just the usual trekker's out span during the heat of the day, such as one might see in almost any re- mote spot of the great interior. There one might wonder at the large num-
 Der of oxen grazing near by, for there is only one large tent buck wagon, while there are oxen enough for at least three teams. Then toa there are an unusual number of Kaffirs attendant upon it. Seven
 boys are sitting adjacent to the
 smouldering embers of the fire, while a vorlooper is leisurely bringing in the cattle.
 Inside the wagon, to which two horses are hitched, two men are sit- ting on a large bed-kaartel engaged in slow but earnest conversation. The Boer, Jan Koetze, a mountain of bone and muscle, is propped against the pillows at the head of the bed, his feet and knees drawn up into a rest full attitude. Opposite him at the foot the simmer but equally large form of Ferman Elwood is sitting tailor-fashion upon the straw-stuffed mattress. Both men are smoking. talking in that pensive fashion which is so common among the Boers. It is as though both with much to say are yet striving to outdo each other in the brevity with which they ex- press it. Jan has reached the end Of his news and sits waiting. He knows, if only from the nature of
 his report, that his sphere of useful ness is not yet at an end. Elwood is thinking.
 So they sat for some minutes 'It seems as if it's all over," said Elwood, pressing the ash down into the bowl of his pipe with his finger | That is, bar the shouting," he added after a pause.
 eff you mean that the German | s1 has vinooked the Kaffir chiefs into granting large concessions; then yes," replied the Boer.

NEW LAW INJURIES WOMEN.
100 Matchmakers Discharged Because
of 8-Hour Limit.

Chico, Cal. - The Diamond Match
company, operating big factories at
Barber, a suburb of this city, will re-
place practically all it's women en-
ployes with men, on account of the
new eight-hour law. In the match
making department alone more than
100 women and girls will be let out.
Many are experts brought from the
Eastern states and are receiving good
salaries.
For some time it has been impossi-
BILE for the company to get sufficient
number of competent women to do the
work, and with the enforcement of
the new eight-hour law, conditions are
made worse, as the work of practi-
cally 100 men depends on the work of
these women, and their hours would of
necessity have been shortened with
the shortening of the women's hours
from nine to eight.
1t had been rumored the company
contemplated employment of Japanese
to replace the women, but General
Superintendent Fairburn denied this.
