NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT WHAT HE
GATHERED OF GOSSIPVISTTING WASHINGTON

the senators and representatives in WASH
ington and the leaders in party politics
throughout the country, but he has kept
his own counsel to a large extent as to
appointments
No one yet even knows who is to be
in his cabinet.
In matters of legislation he has con-
ferred with the leaders in both houses
ef Congress and is in touch with them.
With Underwood he is thoroughly in
touch as to tariff legislation, and the indi-
cations are that the President-elect and
the leader of the House viii work in thor
ough concert Underwood's ambition is
to make and adopt tariff law which will
thoroughly meet the requirements of the
country. He is anxious that the extra
session be devoted entirely to tariff leg
islation; and although Mr.. Wilson de-
sires financial legislation as early as pos
sihle it is probable that he will only
Incorporate in his call for an extra ses-
sion of Congress tariff legislation, and
Will permit financial legislation to go over
to the regular December<session.

I watched Underwood in his work
IN the tariff hearings in washington
for several days recently. His Job was
that of real working man. with the
exception of an hour for lynch and
an hour for dinner he was listening
to tariff experts. manufacturers and
others from 10 o'clock in the morning
until 10 o'clock at night.
The information brought out in these
hearings was interesting and some
times amazing.
There happened TO be a hat manu-
facturer, an importer, on the stand one
day recently, who was giving informa-
tion as to the cost and duty on hats.
Mr.. Underwood happened to have had
hat which he had bought in Buff
falo last year for S.. It was fuzzy
creation of the soft variety. This hat
happened to be in the room when the
expert was testifying and Mr.. Under
wood asked him to examine it. The ex-
pert did so.
Where was it made?' asked Mr.. I'm

Another amusing incident was when
toothbrush expert arguing for pro-
tective duties on toothbrushes told
that his brushes retailed for 25 cents
and 35 cents In drug stores.
Upon cross-examination he admitted
that large quantities of these brushes
were sold by the 1o-cent stores
throughout the country for 10 cents
each. These brushes were practically
as good as the others but were desig-
mated as seconds" and did not bear
the printed label on the handle They
were. however. for all practical uses
identically the same brush.
And so it went in the tariff hear
ing.
Underwood and his democratic as
sociates on the Ways and Means com
mittee are drafting a competitive tar
iff bill. They propose to give the man.

woodrow wilson has turned deaf ear

I really didn't know until I went to
Washington and heard the gossip and
private talk how many men there are in
Alabama who were never for Underwood

every one OF these good fellows expect

work, excellent ability and thorough fit

Ills second term, after Harrison had Sue

Wilson is facing a phalanx OF double the

Week commencing March

goods week, to be observed
by every store in the United

About one hundred years
ago a French scientist first
discovered that fresh food
Theoretically sealed and ster-
ilized by exposure to a high
degree Of heat would keep
fresh, sweet and wholesome
for years.
Before that discovery
enormous quantities Of food
were allowed to waste and
rot, because men did not
know how to save it, while
millions Of people; elsewhere
in the world were starving
for the need Of it.
There is nothing secret in
the process Of canning food,
nothing whatever is used but
the power Of heat to sterilize
and prevent fermentation.
Preservative drugs or prepa-
rations cannot be used. They
would be worse than useless
as they destroy the natural
flavor, and that is what you
