LONDON. April s-The proposed re-
vision of the American tariff has caused
lively speculation in England as to the
effect it is likely to have on British
trade in the United States. While the
newspapers comment lengthily on the po
litical aspects, these comments naturally
are tinctured by the politics of the papers
The tariff reform press. in reviewing
the proposed changes, argues that the
tariff as whole remains strongly of
protectionist character. while the free
traders quote the list of articles placed
on the free list and the decreased duties
on others as a distinct move toward their
ideal.
The Morning Post says that President
Wilson's decision to appear in Congress
personally suggests that he feels he must
bring all possible influence to bear If he
wishes to see the adoption of his fiscal
policy.
The new scale of duties, says the paper,
must he regarded as compromise, but
the tariff as a whole remains strongly of
a protectionist character The Post says
further that the American manufacturer
has hardly any reason to fear that the
country will be flooded by an influx of
cheap foreign goods.
Predicts Hard Struggle for Wilson.
The Graphic says: President Wilson is
not going to repeat President Taft's blum
der in not redeeming his pledge to reduce
the tariff" The paper predicts that
President Wilson will have a hard strug
gle to achieve reforms.
The free trade journals are jubilant.
The Chronicle heads it's article with TO
ward a Free Trade America, and the
Daily News, "A Blow at Protection.
The Chronicle says. Every word of the
bill is a blow to free America from the
same chains that tariff reform would fain
forge for Great Britain
The Daily News describes the bill as
shattering attack on the whole fabric of
protection, the heaviest blow which pro-
lection has received since Peel established
free trade in England seventy years ago.

waged in any American municipality The
cleanup leaders are satisfied with the re-
| suits of their preliminary work and will
put the finishing touches on their plans
at today's meeting.
Assignment of territory to the various
organizations which are to participate in
the campaign is the principal business TO
be disposed of by the committee. AL
ready tentative assignment sheet has
been prepared by DR.. Arthur l.. Murray.
secretary, but it must be approved at the
meeting this afternoon. The arrange
ment worked out by Dr. Murray provides
for the cleaning of every section of the
District, with an organization specially
designated to supervise the work in each
district laid out.
Definite plans for the participation in
the cleanup of school children, Boy
Scouts and members of the police de-
parment will be adopted also at this
afternoons session of the committee.
The cooperation desired of these forces
has been outlined in general way,
but the specific service they will be
called upon to render is to be decided
upon.
Police to Inform Householders.
The police. for instance. will be eX-
pected to inform as many householdecs
as possible of the fact that the. cam
paign is to begin next week and request
that they begin at once to clean up
their premises. DIR. Davidson, superin-
tendent of public schools, is arranging
TO have the Importance of the crusade
explained TO the pupils of the various
schools. 1t is possible that a recitation
period will be set aside one day next
week for this purpose Boy Scouts will
be given specific work to do. but the
nature of the duties to be assigned them
has not been definitely determined.
Only six days remain before the be-
ginning of the campaign and, in that
time the committee faces the task of
raising $500 with which to defray the
expenses of the undertaking. An ap-
peal for funds has been issued and it
without delay. The money will be used
for employing teams to haul away
trash from sections of the city when pro-
vision for it's removal cannot be made
otherwise and issuing cleanup notices to
be sent to householders.

Williams and Thornton as opponents.
It was late for a match. but they de-

himself out for the first time. and
really showed how well he could play

about dozen games behind the

AGAINST
HANDBOOKING
BADLY NEEDED
By Percy Fl. Whiting.

THE attention of the men who
have gathered for the purpose
of making new laws for Geor-
gia is called to the fact that this
State needs a law against gambling.
Yes. it has one, but it is not ade-
quate to prevent handbook gambling.
Under the present law, so we are
informed by attorneys of great prom
inence, a man could parade up and
down Peachtree Street offering bets
on baseball games and horse races,
and not be liable to arrest.
So long as ne had no fixed place
of business and could not be arrest
ed for conducting a gambling house
he is immune.
THIS is a wretched state of affairs.
Handbook gambling ought to be
prohibited by law. 1t leads to more
serious gambling, it gets boys and
young men started in the wrong way,
it results in petty thievery, wasted
money. 1t lines the purses of the
gambling gentry. often at the expense
of mothers and children who would
have had the benefit of the money
except for foolish flyer on a ball
game or horse race;
THE worst feature of the handbook
gambling, perhaps, is its wretch
ed influence on the sports themselves.
Of course racing isn't worth saw
ing.
No sports that exists for gambling
alone is.
But baseball is. That is the great
national sport, and thus far it has
been kept practically above sus-
picion.
If gambling on the games contin-
ues long it will not escape suspicion
and it viii doubtless deserve sus-
picion and worse.
If only to save the greatest Of
American sports handbook gambling
should be stopped.
1T is not presumed that a mere law
will prevent betting. But it will
at least drive it to cover and yank
off the mask Of -espectability II
it isn't against the law to run
handbook why shouldn't anybody do
it? That is what a lot of them ask
And it is a hard question to answer
If a measure to prevent handbook
gambling could be put before the
Legislature it would go through fly
irg.
There isn't a man who would vote
against it. They would all realize
that such law ought to be on the
books.
But will anybody bring such a law
before them and see that it comes
to a vote?
It would do more good for the
State of Georgia than many a law
that will be passed.

slump. Even the best of them
slump. Cleveland has kept the
Athletics within hailing distance
while crusading through the
East, which was a good deal of
a trick considering the speed at
which the Athletics were NOV
ing. That about sums up the sit
uatiOn in the two leagues.
THE Giants case at this time per-
l. haps deserves Il little consider
alton. The club had wonderful
road trip through the West, gaining
on the Phillies and winning twelve
games and losing only four.
The silver lining in the showing of
the Giants on the road during this
last trip can be found by a glance at
the schedule. The New York club
winds up its season with a swing
through the West this year, and if
the final dispute comes down to a
battle between the Giants and Phil
lies to the wire, | look to see New
York nose the Philadelphia boys out
on this final trip.
THE Cubs now threaten to be fac
L tors in the pennant struggle to
the end. They won ten games and
lost six during the Eastern invasion,

The Hardest Nut Of All, Rheum atsm,

It sounds queer 10 take a blood
bath, but that is precisely the effect
of a most remarkable remedy known
as S. s. S. 1t has the peculiar ac-
ton Of soaking through the intes-
tines directly into the blood. In five
minutes its influence is at work in
every artery, veip and tiny capillary.
Every membrane, every organ Of the
body, every emunctory becomes in
effect a filter to strain the blood of
impurities The stimulating proper
ties of S. S. S. compel the skin, liver,
bowels, kidneys, bladder to all work
to the one end of casting out every
irritating. every pain-inflicting atom
of poison; it dislodges by irrigation all
accommodations in the joints, causes
acid accretions to dissolve, renders
them neutral and scatters those pc
culiar formations in the nerve cen
tiers that cause such mystifying and
often battling rheumatic pains
And, best Of all, this remarkable
remedy is welcome to the weakest
stomach. If you have drugged your
self until your stomach is nearly par
alyzed. you will be astonished to find
thai s. S. S. gives no sensation but
goes right to work. This is because
il is a pure vegetable infusion, is
taken naturally into your blood just
S pure air is inhaled naturally into
your lungs,
You can get S. S. S. at any drug
store at 81 a bottle. II is a standard

covered If yours is a peculiar case
