THE LITTLE WIDOW

birth of my second boy. We were in
despair until the little widows advice
brought relief.
II liked Grape-Nuts food from the
beginning. and in an incredibly short
time it gave me such strength that !
was able to leave my bed and enjoy
my three good meals day. In q
months my weight increased from 95
to 113 pounds. my nerves had steadied
down and / felt ready for anything.
My neighbors were amazed to see me
gain SO rapidly. and still more 50
when they heard that Grape-Nuu
alone had brought the change.
my 4-year-old boy had eczema very
bad last spring and lost his appetite
entirely, which made him cross and
peevish. I put him on diet OF Grape.
Nuts, which he relished at once. He
improved from the beginning, the &c
zema disappeared and now he is fat
and rosy, with delightfully."- soft, clear
skin. The Grape-Nuts diet did 1t. I will

DEMOCRATS vs..
TARIFF BOARD
BELIEVING 1T CREATION OF THE
PRESIDENT, THEY'LL VOTE
ITS CONTINUANCE.
A STANDPATTERS' CLOAK
Sherwood Pension Bill Develops Bit
ter Fight on Floor Of House.
Northwest Representatives
Going to Panama.

Washington, ID. C.-Without wait
for the first report Of the tariff board
the Democratic leaders in the house
have agreed to vote to withhold APP
propriations for continuing the board
in its tariff work. Taking this fact
in connection with the solid opposi.
tion of the Democrats in both houses
OF congress to anything like a tariff
commission, and it will at once be
seen that the movement encouraged
by the insurgent tariff reduction ad
vocates and the friends of perma-
nent tariff commission will receive no
ala at the hands of the Democratic
opponents of a Republican tariff pol
icy.
1t is stated upon the authority of
representative Dixon of Indiana, a
member OF the ways and means COM
mittee, that at secret meeting of
the Democratic members OF the COM
mittee it has been decided to recon-
mend to the committee on appropria-
tions that no further provision be
made for the tariff board.
The grounds upon which the Demo
cratic leaders have decided to proceed
are that the tariff board is the Great
ure OF President Taft, that it will
merely collect facts and figures and
not make recommendation to con-
gress, and that it forms screen be-
hind which the president and the Re-
publican members Of congress hide to
resist the efforts for tariff revision.
A great many of the conservative
Republicans in the house were opposed
to the creation of tariff board when
provision was made for ii in the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law two years
ago. Speaker Cannon, Representative
DalZell and others of that faction OPP
posed the plan for tariff commission
and only accepted the tariff board
scheme upon the understanding that
the board was to confine its work to
the collection of facts and statistics
regarding the cost of production, and
to make no recommendation to con-
gress. The board has no status by
law and it's existence depends solely
upon the appropriations made from
year to year by congress. If these ap-
preparations are cut off. the tariff
board goes out of existence.
The first provision for the tariff
board was an appropriation of $4,000
which passed congress on the same
day that the PayneAldrich law was
signed. The following year congress
appropriated $250,OOO and the unex-
pended balance of the $4,000. For
the current fiscal year the appropria-
ton was 225000, together with the
unexpended balance.
Pension Bill Develops Bitter Fight.
Advocates of increased pensions for
veterans of the Civil War battled on

creased pension. The contest lay be-
tween those who favored the Sher-
wood bill which establishes pension
based on length Of service; and the
advocates of the Sulloway age-pension

Washington, ID. G. - The Repubii-
committee of the house is preparing
to frame and introduce a tariff bill
along the lines Of the recommends
tions to be made by President Taft,
based as such recommendations doubt
less will be, upon the report made by
the tariff board. This will be the
opening part of the work TO be done
during the session on the tariff, and
will represent the Republican program,
Independent Of what the Democratic
majority in the house may do.
1t is not yet known what course the
Democrats will take. Some of them
are in favor of preparing bill along
the lines of the tariff board report,
when that shall be made public, while
others are convinced that the report
Of the board will not begin to repre-
sent anything like the tariff for rev.

party, and must be opposed on that
account.
