Recently two very nervous, very hur-
ried senators hustled in and commenc-

several tales Of woe. In vain Tumulty
attempted to exude few ideas on his
own account. But the senatorial vocal
apparatus had been turned on and
seemed bound to continue until ex-

Tumulty had heavy paper weight
in his hands. Stepping close to the two
he dropped it. 1t sounded like the re-

as If shot, and before they could re-

settled the matter to his own satisfac-

DINING table, dishes of china, porce

duced in duty about one-fifth. The re.
tail price on these articles is expected
by friends of the law tc drop at least
. per cent, affording a saving, for in
stance of 81 on set of dinner dishes
worth $40. On cheap earthenware and
pottery, reduction of retail prices can
be hardly expected.
House Linen Duties.
While the duty on cotton tablecloths
IS reduced from 40 to 25 per cent, es-
timated importations next year are
only 100000, not enough, it is be.
lieyed, to cut retail prices even at the
department stores. Cotton towels, dol
lies, blankets, sheets and pillow cases.
etc. are reduced from about As to 25
per cent in the new law. Some slight
retail price reductions are expected to
result Linoleum should be slightly
cheaper. Foreign imports next year
under the new law are expected to ag-
gregate 100000 and force retail re-
auctions in this country. Duty on cot
ton window curtains is reduced about
II per cent and some portion of that
reduction may reach the buyer.
A saving of from 25 to so cents on
wooden blankets is expected by friends
OF the nav law, because of the sweep
ing tariff reductions on wool and it's
products. This decrease will hardly
be felt for year or more From 5 to
III per cent slashes in retail prices on
cotton and wooden carpets is Also con-
fidently predicted by the democrats.

Avoid Sedatiye Cough Medicines.

Ii you want to contribute directly
to the occurrence Of capillary bronch-
Ills and pneumonia use cough med
icines that contain iodine, morphine

have a cough or cold. An expectorant
like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
what Is needed. That cleans out the
culture beds or breeding places for
the germs Of pneumonia and other
germ diseases. That is why pneu-

! (Staff correspondent of the United
Press)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-From thu
garnet to the cellar, furnishing the
American home should be cheaper
when the new tariff law gets into goo6
working order.
Import duties on curtains, furniture
carpets, table linen, glass and china
ware, kitchen utensils and other house
hold articles are all sharply cut. Some
of the tax reductions may eventually
filter through to Mrs. American House
keeper. Foes of the new law-its po-
little foreign furniture is bought by
slashipg will have little effect upon
American pocketbooks at retail stores.
The duties on household furniture have
been cut from 35 to Is per cent While
little foreign forniture is bought by
Americans, the slicing off of 20 per
cent of the tax at the American sea-
board will stimulate foreign competi-
ton and, democrats believe. force down
prices. Lumber also is on the free list,
giving American manufacturers of fur
niture the opportunity to buy Canadian
planks cheaper. Sanguine democrats
believe per cent will be a fair de-
crease in retail furniture prices, pro-
dicted saving of SIS on $500 worth of
new furniture.
