EXAMPLE OF TARIFF MADNESS
Heavy Tax Women of America Have
Paid to protect" an Unborn
Industry,

According to an article by Mary
Heaton Worse in Success Magazine,
the Boot mills of Lowell, Mass, we're
responsible for the framing of the
schedule in the Dingley bill which In
creased the duty on linens by as
much as 15 per cent. to 20 per cent.
At that time the Boot mills had
visions of a great linen industry.
There was to be a renaissance in
America of the manufacture Of linen
goods, The time had come, they
thought, when American capital should
interest itself In this great branch of
the textile industries. Under the spell
Of their persuasive utterances the tar
If makers saw the banks of the Merri.
mac river lined with thriving linen
factories.
The tariff went into effect and has
SO remained during the IA years since
the enactment Of the Dingley bill
During this time what has been the
result? For this unborn industry thu
American people have been taxed al
no European countries have eve,
taxed their people for the benefit o
all heir to the throne. You would ex
pect to hear, wouldn't you, that tn
linen industries had been born ant
had met an untimely death-that a
the least? But 1t seems that neithe
the Boot mills nor any n connects
with them erected q single mill TO
the purpose of manufacturing liner
For the sake of this clause inserte
at the wish Of a private corporatio

In this country. all American wome
the country over have been taxed /
per cent. to 20 per cent. on all tn
linen goods which they consume a

Get Away From 1t

phoric Acid combined and Potash 1874 per
cent from a total Of 101.07.
Considerable more than one-half Of Phos-
phate OF Potash.
Analysis Of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus (Which join and make Phos-
phate of Potash) is considerable more than
one-half Of all the mineral salts in the food.
DR.. Geo. w. Carey, an authority on the
constituent elemen Of the body. says: THE
gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely
by the inorganic ~cell-salt, Potassium Phos-
phate phosphate Of Potash). This salt unites
with albumen and by the addition of oxygen
creates nerve fluid or the gray matter Of the
brain. OF course, there is a trace of other
salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid,
but Potassium Phosphate Is the chief factor
and has the power within itself to attract, by
its W law Of affinity, all things needed to
manufacture the elixir of life"
Further on he says: '"The beginning and end
Of the matter Is to supply the lacking principle,
and in molecular form, exactly as nature fur
nishes 1t in vegetables, fruits and grain. To
supply deficiencies-this Is the only law Of
cure"
The natural conclusion Is that IL Phosphate
Of Potash Is the needed mineral element In
brain and you use food which does not contain
1t, you have brain flag because It's daily loss is
not supplied.
On the contrary, II you eat food known to
be rich In this element, you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain-building.
Mind does not work well on a brain that Is
broken down by lack Of nourishment.

sary to good Digestion

Is 1t possible to nourish, strengthen and Re
build the Brain by Food?
Every man who thinks uses up part of the
brain each day. Why don't it all disappear
and leave an empty skull in say a month Of
brain work? Because the man rebuilds each
day.
If he builds a little less than he destroys,
brain fag and nervous prostration result sure.
If he builds back a little more each day, the
brain grows stronger and more capable. That
also is sure. Where does man get tho material
to rebuild his brain? Is it from air, sky or the
ice Of the Arctic sea? When you come to
think about 1t, the rebuilding material must
be in the food and drink:
That also is sure.
Are tire brain rebuilding materials found in
al, food? In a good variety but not in suitable
proportion in all.
To illustrate: we know bones are made large
ly of lime and magnesia taken from food;
therefore to make healthy bone structure we
must have food containing these things. We
would hardly feed only sugar and fat to make
healthy bone structure in a growing child.
Likewise IL we would feed in a skillful man
ner to insure getting what the brain requires
for strength and rebuilding, we must first know
what the brain is composed Of and then select
some article or articles (there are more than
one) that contain these elements.

WOMAN RULES Town
Elected Mayor Of City in State
of Kansas.
For Two Years Town Will Be Com
pIeteIy Under woman's Admins
tration-Male Holders OF High
Offices Walk the Plank.

Hunnewell, Kan.-Mrs. Ella WILSON,
the n~ewly-elected mayor of this city,
for the first time since her election
consented to explain her plans for
cleaning up the municipal govern
ment, which in her prediction
speeches she declared to be full OF
graft and Godlessness."
Mrs. Wilson's first announcement
was that she would appoint Mrs.
Rosie E. Osbourne, defeated candidate
for police judge, to be superintendent
of police, while Mrs. E. E. Hilten'
who ran for town councillor and failed,
will be appointed city clerk.
While Mrs. Wilson did not specihc-
ally admit it, the declaration Is made
that under a compromise plan male
officers will be elected from the high
er municipal Offices entirely and that
for two years at least Hunnewell VIII
be completely under a woman's adj
ministration.
There is no doubt of the radical in
tentions of the women. Mrs. Wilson
has declared that the occasional
liquor tranic will at once be stopped
and bootleggers will be sent to jail.
Poolrooms must pay license and all
grating is to be abolished.
Mrs. Wilson has jumped into world
wide fame ina day because she is the
second woman mayor ever elected in
the United States and the first woman
ever given a chance to rule a city
surrounded with women officials to dc
her bidding. The first woman mayor
in this country was Mrs. s. M. Salter
who was elected mayor of Argonia
Kan, "a years ago.
Here is the first public utterance
of Mrs. Wilson since her election. lr
1t she outlines her policies and aims
and voices her determination to elm

LOST FAITH in WHITE MAN
Eskimo Tested Efficacy OF Telephone
Scheme, and Realized He Had
Been Deceived.

An interesting story is told regard
ing the efforts OF an Eskimo to con-
struct a telephone line. The Eskimo
came into possession Of a piece OF wire
of considerable length and never hav'
ing seen wire before he asked Profess
sor Mcmillan of the Peary north pole
expedition what it was and what 1t
was used for. He was told that the white
man strung 1t on poles stuck in the
ground and a voice talking to an In
strument at one end could be heard at
the other end. After some search the
next morning the Eskimo was found
to be engaged in telephone construc-
ton work of his own, He stuck some
sticks in the ground and hung his
wire on them. He held one n OF
the wire to his mouth and talked to
it at the top of his voice. Then ne
ran as fast as he could to the other
end and held the wire to his a with
the expectation of hearing his own
words repeated.
When he failed to hear any sounds
the expression on his face revealed
his opinion of his white friend.

LOOKING at Wilson.

Republicans as well as Democrats
are frankly admitting the ability with
which Governor Wilson is administer
ing the affairs of New Jersey. Those
who looked on him as a dilettante In
politics have been amazed by his
grasp Of public questions and his
b~usinesslike method of handling them
The chief asset of this scholarly states
man seems, after all, to be his FUND
of hard, common sense. He is prov
ing himself as able In practice as he
was illuminative in theory. 1t is no
surprising that the country is watch
ing Governor Wilson with interest
and that he is being viewed as a ma
tional rather than a purely local fig
are.-Washington Post.

MASK IS THROWN OFF
PROTECTIVE TARIFF LEAGUE
COMES OUT IN THE OPEN.
Resolutions of Protest Against Cana
dian Reciprocity Reveal the Sci
fishness Of the Monopolistie
Protected interests.

In resolutions Of protest against
Canadian reciprocity sent out by the
American Protective Tariff league, THIS
paragraph reveals the purpose and
spirit of the whole:
1.-THE manufacturer cannot hope to
retain protection for his industry
when protection shall have peer de-
MED to the farmer"
In o word, the dissatisfied manulac-
turer wants the farmers support IN
his fight against reciprocity. The man
ufactuTers' interests and the agricul-
tural interests are seldom the same.
The factory seeks to buy from the
farmer and to sell to him. They are
not partners or co-producers, and the
manufacturer cares nothing at all 1or
the husbandman's general advantage
But the need of the opponents OF
reciprocity is votes. Therefore they
cav. In effect, THE manufacturer can
not get votes against reciprocity I'M
less he throws a sop to the farmer.
Hence the sudden unprecedented IN
terest in the agricultural worker.
The protest is characteristic OF the
opposition to reciprocity, but 1t Is a
mere. frank avowal Of principles thar
the average opponent offers.
All the opposition rests on short
sighted selfshness or on appeals tc
selfshness, but the American Protec.
tive Tariff league appears without dis
yuise or mask. 1t appear perfectly
1atura! to the league to consider the
interests of the protected parties, and
80 fear any sort of a change lest II
Interfere with their little advantages
Some opponents Of reciprocity talk OF
he good to the nation in general, the
advantage of the consumer, the city
Iwe,ler. the Industrial employee. Not
20 the leage. 1t cries out for the re
strtcted interest of the manufacturers
and the farmers, and them only.
There is little In the Fundamental
argument even as 1t is thus exposed
NV the league. Despite the outer!
against 1t in the name of agricultur'
and in the name Of the manufacturer
1t has some of it's strongest supporter
In congressman from manufacturer
and agricultural districts. It Is pittfu
to see a great public issue considere
by a few men only with regard t
their narrow walk in life. 1t is pitifu
70 see members Of congress VIII
should take a broad national vie'
taking positions on the question oni
because of the wind from certai
quarters in their districts. But this b.
comes ludicrous when the argument
for farmer and factory owner al
really studied. and studied out.

Elephant Guards Duck.

Gunda, biggest and baddest' of the
elephants at the Bronx zoo, has been
under surveillance for the past week
because of his strange actions. Since
being given the range of the yard out
side his house he took up his stand in
one corner close beside the main walk.
Keeper Thurman has found the rea-
son for his odd behavior. Under the
edge Of a pile of hay which Gunda
himself had fashioned, Thurman found
a mallard duck sitting on six eggs.
The moment Thurman approached
them Gunda warned him to be care
full.
You're a sentimental old fraud"
Thurman replied, and Gunda danced
a Jig to show that he didn't care II
he was. His great feet drummed all
around the nest, but the mallard nev
err winked. Thurman says she knew
she had no reason to be afraid.-Nev

warm summers at that, and are scarce
ly big enough for the mouth before

the winter sink come across the shell
every year, but after the seventh or
tenth year full growth comes; then.
by looking at the sinks between the
humps it is hard to tell anything
more about Miss Oysters age. Oysters
