In the light of this consider the bull
fight. 1t with its next to kin, the
cockfight, is Mexico's chief pastime.
When the sons of MonteZuma are not
'revolting' they are on their way to

one who has ever calmly and dis
passionately viewed a sample fthis
Mexican entertainment must admit
that it tends to bring out the vicious
propensities. to arouse the baser IN
stinct and to excite to a dangerous
and almost violent pitch. Assuredly
there is plenty of "seeing red' at
bullfight. Then turn to baseball. 1t
is the American amusement, the ma

Mexico is at war with herself. The
United States is at peace with the

STRENGTH FOR OLD PEOPLE

Old people. to overcome the weaken
ing, debilitating effects of increasing
old age, often make very sad mis-
take in using so-called remedies" that
contain alcohol and dangerous or
habit-forming drugs. Often this stuff,
because it livens and brightens them
up little just after taking dose,
leads them to imagine that it is do
ing them good, when it isn't. Rene
dies that relv for their sale on such
deceit do harm, because the false eX-
citement of the nerves and heart
leaves them worse than they were be-
fore.
ReXall Olive Oil Emulsion is real
medicine "a splendid body and
strength builder, especially good for
old people, because it furnishes to
the system ingredients necessary to
rebuild wasted tissues, strengthen the
nerves, give new energy and young
er and livelier feeling to the body. 1t
doesn't contain drop of alcohol nor
any dangerous drug. 1t may not make
YOU feel better after the first dose,
nor perhaps for several days. But if
YOU don't feel much better and strong
er before you have taken quarter as
much as you have of other medicines
that didn't help you, we will gladly
give you back your money. That's Ger
tainly a square deal.
The four hypophosphites it contains
are used by leading physicians every
where in debility, weakness and la
bility to disease, to tone and strength
en- the nerves. Purest olive oil, one
of the most nutritious, most easily di-
gested foods known, being taken with
the hypophosphites, gives rich tissue
nourishment to the entire system.

strength, better spirits, glowing

money will be given back to you with

No Chance for Cheap Clothes

Waterbury Magazine: So the men
are not to profit by the tariff reduc-
tions in the matter of their clothes
The high cost of living so far as they
are concerned is not to be lowered.
This information comes through the
Haberdasher, which has been inter-
viewing the manufacturers of mems
clothing. According to these inter
views seventeen items of mems wear
will show no change at all, two will
show an advance and none will show
a permanent decrease. Where, in Eng
lish manufacturers, reductions in du-
ties were made in cloth for mems
clothes, the English workmen demand
ed and obtained an increase in their
wages. In other words, so far as this
kind of clothing is concerned, the tar
IF was reduced for the benefit OF the
English workmen. In other cases, the
English manufacturers have raised
prices, claiming that before they were
actually sending over their clothes too
low. 1t may be added that this state
ment was made, long before the tar
iff was passed, by New York tailors
to Waterbury customers. The English
manufacturers had already scheduled
raise in price.
1t is to be hoped that the other
benefits of the lower tariff, namely,
that clothing and articles OF clothing
will be of superior quality and will
last longer, the present claim for the
Underwood bill, will be justified by
the results.
