Attack Like Tigers.


In fighting to keep the blood pure
the white corcuscles attack disease
germs like tigers. But often germs
multiply so fast the little fighters are
overcome. Then see pimples, boils,
eczema, saltrheum and sores multiply
and strength and appetite fail. This
condition demands Electric Bitters to
regulate stomach, liver and kidneys
and to expel poisons from the blood

LONDON TAXIS MAY STRIKE.
Drivers Protest Against Increased
Price of Petrol.

LONDON, April 15.-London is threat
ened with taxicab strike. Two thou
sand drivers held a mass meeting tonight
and adopted a resolution protesting against
the action Of the owners federation in in
creasing the price Of petrol
The situation is the outgrowth Of the
refusal of the government to remit the
petrol tax of 3ls pence a gallon. Taxicab
owners thereupon proposed that the fares
should be raised from to 10 pence for
the first mile. The drivers declined to ac-
cede to this on the ground that they
would lose money owing to reduced nat
ronage Then the owners issued an ulti-
matum that unless fares were increased
the petrol tax would be charged to the
drivers.
Representatives Of the mems union de-
clared that II the ultimatum was not with
drawn a general strike would be ordered
There are about 1900 taxicab drivers in
the city.

reciprocity treaty, he said, menaced ma
tional prosperity in threatening to take
away from the farming communities
the protection to their products neces-
sary to their continued prosperity and
development
1t was a day full of interesting debate
and incident. Mr.. Kitchin, skillful in
repartee. drew frequent Interruptions
from the republican side and kept the
House in a turmoil. He paced up and
down the main aisle of the House. ar
raigning the leaders on the republican
side who have fought for the protective
principle, paying particular attention to
Representative Dalzell of Pennsylvania.
He pictured President Taft as coming to
the democrats on bended knees to solicit
their support. The success Of the PreSi-
dents desire for reciprocity with Canada
depended on the democrats. he said.
Pictures Taft on His Knees.
"Oh, my friends" said Mr.. Kitchin,
with eloquent gesture, how the vicissi-
tudes of American politics humiliate the
pride of even President. We were i'm
possible obstructionists, and We utterly
failed in anything that was sensible, and
yet, before that libel upon a great po-
litical organization is cold upon his lips,
the desperate necessities of diScredited
administration send this President on
bended knees begging before this demo-
cratic majority"
Interruptions from insurgent repub-
lican members injected much interesting
debate into the Kitchin speech. He was
asked if he would vote for free lumber.
free sugar, less protection on cotton goods
and like reductions Of the tariff.
II Will vote for free lumber" said Mr..
La Toilette of Washington, whom Mr..
Kitchin had charged with representing

manded Mr.. Lenroot of Wisconsin.
Yes said Mr.. Kitchin, and within
four or five days We will bring in free
