TIz acts at once and makes tired, aching, swollen feet remarkably fresh and sore proof.
 It's the sure remedy, you know, for everything that gets the matter with your feet. It's for sore feet and for sweaty, bad-smelling feet, and for corns, callouses, and bunions, too.
 For years I have been troubled with sore and tender feet; suffered in tense pains. Have had the assistance of physicians without relief. I bought a box of TIz, which worked a perfect cure, as 1t has with great many of my friends. I would not be without it."-A. F. Dreutzer, Chicago.
 TIZ is not a powder. Powders and TIz draws out all poisonous exuda- tions which bring on soreness of the feet, and is the only remedy that does.
 You'll never limp again or draw up your face in pain, and you'll forget about your corns, bunions and call fuses. You'll feel like a new person. There are two kinds of people in the world-those that get what they want, and those that get what someone else wants to give them. Be frn-when you ask for TIZ, get 1t and laugh at the substitute.
 TIZ is for sale at all drug stores, department and general stores at 25 cents per box, or it will be sent you direct, if you wish. Money back if l TIZ doesn't do all we say. For a free | trial package write today to Walter | Luther Dodge & Go, Chicago, III.

UNCLE SANS
MEN HUNT FOR
BANK SHORTAGE

Il became known today that agents
OF the Department OF Justice and
Treasury Department at Washington
have been In Middletown and VIII
mingtOn for several days recently, in
quiring into the circumstances sur
rounding a supposed shortage OF $751;
1879 in the cash Of the Peoples Ma
tlonal Bank Of Middletown. That
there Is a shortage became known
through the publication In February
Of suspense account item OF that
amount In connection with the banks
statement. The matter was referred
to the comptroller OF the currency at
Washington by Bank Examiner
Ter Of this district, and ever since
then an investigation by Federal Off
cials has been pending.
The discovery that something was
wrong was made the latter part Of
last year Some discrepancies we're
discovered last June. and George l..
Townsend United States marshal,
who then became president OF the In
stitution, insisted on thorough ex-
animation being made, which reveal
ed an apparent shortage OF SlS,7SS,-
70 IN the cash OF the institution.
Following the discovery OF the al
legged shortage, George ID. Kelly re-
signed as cashier Of the bank. Ac-
cording to Mr. Townsend, Mr.. Kelly
insists that the discrepancy is due
to errors in bookkeeping and that
there really is no shortage.
Mr.. Townsend says there also was
an apparent shortage OF about $1,000
In the current notes account, but Mr..
Kelly Strengthened that out, insisting
that It was not n shortage but due TO
an error All of the trouble occurred
MIR. Townsend says. between 1897 and
1902 and the Federal Investigators
and bank directors have been stump
ed as 10 whether or not the bank
really ever had the cash that appears
to be missing.
II Is known that the Federal IN
vestlgators have been cooperating
with District Attorney John p. Nields
in this city. but whether anything will
be done TO clear up the mystery over
the apparent shortage is not known at
this time.

TARIFF BILL THIS AFTERNOON

present" and the rest against the
Democratic measure.
When the House met this afternoon
the completed enrolled bill was pre-
sented for final reading. insisted
upon by Republican Leader Mann. II
is very seldom that the so-called
final reading of an enrolled bill" is
anything more than perfunctory
reading OF the title OF the measure,
but for some inscrutable reason Mann
insisted that every one OF the $4,000
words in the bill be read again. This
was all that prevented passage of
the measure last night.
The Republican minority planned to
make its last desperate stand against
the bill by supporting Representative
Payne's motion to recommit the bill
with specific instructions that il be
amended so that il will provide for a
tariff board and increases on wool
and cotton rates over those in the
Wilson Underwood measure. A rec
ord roll call on this motion was GER
