set OF his lips told OF battles fought

was clouded, and he drummed the arm

l realized.

Do We Want a Tariff Commission 2
From Golfers,


The present argument for scientific ad-

sound logic; It should be based also on

preserve a balance of advantage for ones

conditions change.
It should be noted that this method
meets only part of the problem. A manu-
facturer is not helped much IL foreign
control of raw material prices outweighs
his protection. Germany has aided her
manufacturers by careful attention to lust

Import and export duties are only two

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
longer pour forth waste, uremic poi
soning occurs, and the person dies and
the cause is often given as heart dis

IOWA GROWS MOST OATS.

Iowa is leading the nation in the
production of oats, and is second only
to Illinois in the production of corn
this year, says the latest bulletin of
the crop reporting board of the de-
partment of agriculture. Illinois is
second among the oat raising states,
while Missouri is third in the growing
of corn.
Iowa will harvest this year, according
to this estimate made on crop reports
dated September 1, a total of 182,000,-
900 bushels of oats, which now are
worth about 80 cents per bushel. ILL
nois will have Ill, 100000 bushels, now
worth .33 cents. Missouri will raise
only 49, 100000 bushels, but her crop
Is worth 40 cents per bushel at pres
emit. The total oat crop for the coun-
try is estimated at LAOS, 900, 900 bush
els, for which the average price in the
United States on September l was 1876
cents.
OF the entire corn crop Of the coun-
try, which is estimated at 1885, 000, 900
bushels, Iowa Is expected to produce
about one-tenth. Her exact quota is
229, 100000 bushels, with Illinois rails

KEEP OFF NEW PAVING.

Except for a very short section on
one side. North Court street has been
opened to traffic from the northern ex
