Many shibboleths have been devised
for testing sobriety. George Meredith,
who doubtless could have evolved
some wonderful examples, had he
chosen, calls them 'olnometers, or
methods of determining the condition
of man, according to the degrees of
wine or beer in him One of the
most snareful of these is the sentence.

Are You Subject
to Constipation
Here is a Simple Way of Correcting
~ it Instantly Before it Be-
comes Chronic,

Very few people go through life
without some time or other being
troubled with constipation. Thous-
ands injure themselves by the use
of strong cathartics, salt mineral wa
tors, pills and similar things. They
have temporary value in some cases,
it is true, but the good effect is soon
lost, and the more one takes of them
the less effective they become.
y A physic or purgative is seldom
necessary, and much better and more
permanent results can be obtained by
using scientific remedy like DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pcpsin. 1t does not
hide behind some high sounding name
but is what it is represented to be,
mild laxative medicine. 1t is so
IN lid that thousands of mothers give
it to tiny infants, and yet it is so
compounded, and contains such def
mite ingredients that it will have
equally good effect when used by
person suffering from the worst
chronic constipation. In fact, among
the greatest endorsers of Syrup Pep
sin are elderly people who have suf-
tered for years and found uptEing to
ynefit them until they took Syrup
Pepsin.
1t is a fact that millions of fami
lies have Syrup Pepsin constantly in
the house, homes like those of Mrs.
G. B. Pruitt, Berea, KY, who used
DR.. Caldwell1s Syrup Pepsin as a
laxative tonic. Mrs. Pruitt writes |
that it so strengthened and cleansed |
er system that she was quickly re-
erved Of a severe cough which had |
troubled her for months. The spec

liams ranch this year twenty-five
thousand dollars in cash was rea-
lized. The price paid by the wool
buyers was twelve and one-fourth
cents per pound. This is pretty
close to free trade prices. The
passage of the free wool bill will
prove disasterous to the sheep in
dustry IN the west, and unless there
is gain from some unexpected
source the wool industry is doomed
throughout the entire west. In
stead Of millions of sheep in Neva-

be only thousands within five years.

Washington May 5 The report
ON the Ways and Means Committee
on the Underwood tariff bill has
been published. For the benefit
. of those who talk tariff with their
negbbors. will give briefly some
Of the salient facts brought out
in the report.
Since 1897 the wholesale prices
of all commodities used by the
Ameri can people have advanced an
average of At per cent. But some
of the prime necessities of life
have advanced much beyond that
average. For instance, farm pro-
ducts have increased SO per cent
in price Other food products have
increased Al per cent The increas-
Sed cost of clothing is 36 per cent
and house furnishings "a per cent.
At the same time there have
been growing up under the foster
ing care Of successive protective
tariff laws gigantic trusts dealing
in the necessities of life The Un-
derwood report names q Of these
industrial combinations with total
capitalization of nearly nlAe billion
dollars. .....
Another effect of prohibitive tar
ifs E>the resultant waste Of the
natuf resources of the United
StateGresources which. when once
exhausted, can never be restored.
With the foreign timber, ores and
mineral barred from importation by
prohibitive duties, we have been
exhausting our own at a ruinous
rate. -
While industries within the coun-
try are rapidly beeomiDg monop-
olized and competition to make our
trusts adopt the most efficient
manufacturing methods. Obsolete
&pIants. old machinery and out-of-
date methods, which have practi-
cally been eliminated in foreign
countries, exist in this country.
This is waste, and the public pays
for every dollar of it.
In the new bill the rates on per-
fumes, finc chinaware. automobiles.
jewelry. tobacco, oriental rugs,
Paris hats and other Injuries have
been increased or maintained; the
present rates on such necessities as
lumber, soap, cutlery. sugar, meat,
aours, cotton and wool. clothing
paper and aboes have been greatly
reduced or done away with alto
gether. Necessities placed on a
free list will make total annual
saving to the American consumer
Of close to 100000, 900; while
there will be other vest savings in
duties which have been reduced
The Republican theory Of placing
duties which shall equalize the
difference in cost of production at
home and abroad, has been reject
ed for the reason that, to quote the
report, "a duty which equslizes this
average difference protects no one,
sine ait is more than is needed by
the Host efficient producer, and
less than is needed by the least
efficient pI oducer."
AS matter of fact. because of
American machinery, and efficient
American workmanship, cost of
production here is no greater than
II is abroad.
