Mr. Butler spoke here in Banner

the county, and We made a good sub
stantial gain in the township. The
highest majority we had ever beat the
Democrats before last election was

Now, as for Mr.. Buffers speaking
here, | will shoulder all of that on
myself. A great many Republicans
from Johnston, Sampson and Harnett
Counties came to me and asked me

FOR JUST PROTECTION.
Roosevelt Declares Tariff Must Be
Fair to the Farmer and Wage
Worker.

Albert Lea, Mimi, March 20
Here in the home district of the man
he has frequently assaulted on the
stump, former Congressman Jim"
Tawney, Colonel Roosevelt today dis
cussed the tariff, repeating in almost
its entirety his tariff speech made at
Sioux Falls, on September 3, 1910.
Colonel Roosevelt at that time said,
in part:
Our tariff should be such d meas
ure of protection as will eQualize the
cost of production here and abroad,
and, as the cost of production is
primarily labor cost, this means pri-
marily a tariff sufficient to make up
for the difference in labor cost here
and abroad. The American public
wants to see the laboring man put on
an equality with other citizens, but
it does not want to see the tariff so
arranged as to benefit primarily few
wealthy men,"
Colonel Roosevelt then Endorsed
the tariff commission idea as the
OAlS 1lCkAOO q pASPOA
could be framed, and in conclusion,
said:
We believe this country is COM
mitted to the principle of the protec-
tive tariff, treated honestly as prin-
ciple and not as a bundle of prefer
ences, so that the benefits and bur-
dens may be fairly and evenly dis
tributed, and special privilege elimi-
mated. We do not believe in any I'M
warranted profit for anybody, but We
do believe in standard of protection
adequate to maintain the high STAN
dard of protection adequate to main
tain the high standard of living OF
American citizens.
The prime need in any future re-
vision of the schedules, or in any flu
ture arrangement whatsoever affect
ing the tariff, is to protect the inter
est of the farmer an dthe wage
worker. There must be no alteration
of the tariff that compels the farmer
to bear the whole burden. The far
mer an dthe wage-worker have the
right to insist, and We insist for him
that a fair share of the prosperity
gets down past the Office to be dis
tributed among the men who work
with their hands"

Water Drinking With Meals

Pursuant to tradition of long
standing il is common custom to
forbid the drinking of water at meal
time. There was a time when such
advice appeared most reasonable.
Prof Hawk and his pupils at the
University Of Illinois have been in
vestigationg during the past few years
the correctness of the current atti.
tude toward this question, with re-
suits quite at variance with the trad
iditonal idea When the influence OF
water drinking with meals was ex'
amined by direct experiment on man
the alleged direful consequences were
found missing. There was no appar'
ent i'll effects, On the contrary the
general conclusion from all the find
ings was that II water Is taken with
meals, there is better digestion and
more complete utilization of food
A pronounced Improvement in the di
gestibility of fat was also observed
Since there is a constant tendency
at least among persons whose know
ledge of the given subject is slight, to
carry to extremes conclusions deriv
ed from experiments, 1t seems worth
