Miss E. QuarIes Says New
Method Proved a Revela-

had sick headaches frequently and was
constipatcd.
81 had read considerably of the prepara-
ton called 'Tona Vita and | decided to
try it after conversation with one Of the
specialists in charge Of the demonstration
at the Polk Miller Drug Company, and
with little hope Of any benefit that might
be obtained.
However, really thought | felt bet

tnuing its use according to directions |

oughly benefited. The nervousness has
entirely disappeared, and sleep and eat

a number Of years. The tonic seems to
take hold at once and extract all thorough
nourishment from what food is taken,
and gives immediate help cannot say

Poor .appctitcs, bad digestion, uneasy
sleep and little ambition arc ailments for
which thousands OF Richmond people are
taking iona Vita and being helped

aged, and everything seems to tax their
nerves. Life often grows a burden to
them. They are unable TO enjoy real

People in this rundown condition

who are at the Polk Miller Drug Com
pany, Ssh East Main Street, from A. NJ
to s ?. Nj. introducing the new remedy.
They have probably neglected them
selves, feeling as tho modern plague was
gradually getting hold Of them, that they
would be better tomorrow. Tomorrow
has failed TO conc, and they have al
lowed themselves TO get into such con-
dition that they suffer with timidity and
are minus the initiative that is necessary
to carry on their daily work. They arc
droopy and have that salow complexion
that tells their very condition in their
faces. They imagine themselves afflicted
with all sorts Of diseases Their nerves
arc all unstrung, and they have not the
least desire for labor. Their real trouble
is debility, and it is easily cured il treated
before something else develops"
iona Vita" Will not cure everything,
but it will remove this condition, and will
give folks a new lease on life II il fails

NO benefits, no money" is the company 5
motto. The tonic must prove entirely
satisfactory or the purchasc-price is re-
funded"

PLACE CONSUMER
At MERCYOF TRUST
Free Sugar Would Mean Ulti-
mate Monopoly and High
Prices.

Washington, March e.-Proposing to
rename the Democratic free sugar bill
IAN act TO surrender revenue. destroy
competition and create monopoly" the
Republicans OF the Ways and Means
Committee OF the House to-day sub
mitted Il minority report on the Under
wood bill. which Will be the next OF
the tariff bills TO be considered by
the House.
The report was submitted by Rep
rescntative Fordney. OF Michigan. It
charges that there Is q union between
the sugar trust and the Democratic
party. and that the free sugar meas
IRE is designed to catch the votes OF
the consumer. and Will In time deliver
the consumer to the mefcy of the
sugar trust.
The report reviews In the main the
dissenting views of the Republican
members of the Iardwick sugar trust
Investigating committee. 1t gives
credit TO the beet sugar industry for
holding down the price Of sugar dur
Ing the advance of last year, and pre-
diets that such a safeguard would be
destroyed II the beet gugar men were
driven out of business.
The report asserts that the Under
wood FREQ sugar bill Is the holdcst
attempt In the history OF our republic
to surrender an important and grow
Ing industry to foreign importers" and
that 1t is against the domestic sugar
producers and solely In the interest
OF the refiners of imported raw sugar,
commonly known as the sugar trust
The report asserts that the sugar
beet growing industry would be killed
II the beet reflnerles were forced to
suspend by tariff legislation. There are
10000 farmers engaged in growing
sugar beets. the report declares. and
1t comments that "the Democratic
party says to these farmers. we pro-
pose to make you pay for this reduo-
tion In the tariff on sugar"
Predicting dire days Tor the sugar
consumer. the report SAYS:
Not in the palmiest days OF the
trust, when Mr.. Have:neyer ruled Its
fortunes with rod of Iron and an am.
bition bounded only BY the confines of
this country. did the American Sugar
Refining Company ever monopoliza
such portion of the sEgar consumed
In the United States rs this bill would
deliver Into Its Keeping"

Vote on Treaties To-Day.

Washington, D. c., March 6.---The
Senate will begin voting on tho arbi-
tration treaties with Great Britain and
France at 4:30 o'clock tomorrow az
ternoon under an agreement reached
late to-day The first vote will be on
tho Foreign Relations Committee g
amendment to strike out Of the trea-
ties clause of article 3. on which the
opposition has been centred on the
ground that 1t delegates the treaty
making power to the proposed joint
high commission OF inquiry, and that
the commissions acts will be binding
on the Senate.
This is the critical point for the
treaties. but their supporters express
cd confidence tonight that they woulG
pass 1t safely. While originally tn.
amendment had the Endorsement of tho
committee. that has given way to in

One man was down and two on bases.
MERRITT started for third and had the
base stolen. F1nlay lost his head, threw

into left Held. allowing Merritt to score
the run that tied the game. At the end
OF this inning the contest was called
on account OF darkness. The scora was
to 8. With the exception of the f,rst
two innings. when Virginia appeared
nervous. the Charlottesville team had the
better Of the argument. Grant was
pitching winning ball and was receiving
good support. while the Virginia players
were finding Brown for singles and
Triples. They did not use good judgment
on cne bases or at the bat, though, and
failed to take advantage Of several OPP
portunities to score. In the third inning
they had the bases filled with nobody out
and they were unable to get a man
around the circuit, because the batters
tried to knock the cover or the ball.
In the tenth inning they again filled
the bases. and by a fly to the outfield
managed to get one over.
Virginia outhit Yale, but did not play

by both teams. but the closeness of the
score made the rooters forget the errors
and the "lapses," and enthusiasm was in
evidence everywhere.
