Washington, June 3-Chairman
Simmons Of the senate finance com
mittee, after conference with Pres
ident Wilson today, said he believed
that when the tariff bill is ready Tor
consideration by the democratic eau
Gus next week, cattle, wheat, meats
and flour very probably would be on
the free list
He declined to say whether the
change had been made at the instance
of the president or senators. He said
that the bill would be considered by
the senate caucus next week and be
reported out of committee the fol
lowing week.
Practically without change, the
wool and sugar schedules as they
passed the house are expected to be
recommended late this week to the
senate finance committee by the SEN
ators who have had them under con
sideration more than month.
The free sugar schedule. which
Senators Ransdell and Thornton of
Louisiana haze fought so persistently,
has been approved by Senator Will
liams subcommittee, and the free
wool schedule has been agreed to by
Senator Stones subcommittee. Dem
ooratic leaders say that neither will
be altered by the entire finance com
mittee, and predict that the party
caucus will not make change.
Immediately after his conference
with the president, Chairman Sim
mons hurried to the capitol where the
subcommittee considering the agri-
cultural schedule was waiting.
Il am going into the meeting tc
move to put cattle and wheat on the
I free list, said Mr.. simmons 4 don't

The committee then went into ses
sicns behind closed doris. Later il
was learned that the president had
decided raw materials should be free
listed as well as their products. The
subcommittee had left the decision
to him.

Shopping to some women,
and to some men, TOO, means
work real hard drudgery.
With knitted brow and deter
mined look they go about their
shopping with no more liking
for it than a small boy who
goes to have his hair cut,
Do you wonder that the re-
suits under these conditions
are costly and unsatisfactory
to say nothing Of the distress
ing mental strain, occasioned
by such unscientific methods?
Shopping drudgery is so
needless. SO unnecessary. 1t is
