Fifth Street Garage IN
BUSINESS AS USUAL

w. ]. w. Hance, proprietor OF the
Fifth Street Garage. Fifth street. be-
tween Madison and Monroe streets. to-
day stated that the rental of part Of
the second floor Of his building to a
private company for storage purposes,
will in no way interfere with his
garage business, which he intends TO
continue as usual.
Mr.. Hanoe says the impression that
he had leased the building to the du-
Pont Powder Company is erroneous,
as he has rented only part Of the Sec
ond floor for storage purposes, to a
manufacturing company, which, so
far as he knows, has no connection
with the powder company. Mr.. Hancc
says he still has available all the
space he has been using for garage
purposes.

WHEN RUN down
Hoods SarsapariIIa the Reliable Tonic
Medicine, Builds Tn.

The reason why you feel SO tired all
the time at this season is that your
blood is impure and impoverished. II
lacks vitality. Il is not the rich, red
blood that gives life to the whole
body. perfects digestion and enables
all the organs to perform their func-
tions as they should.
Get Hoods Sarsaparilla from any
druggist II will make you feel bet
ter, look better. eat and sleep better.
II is the old reliable, tried and true
all-the-year-round blood purifier and
enricher, tonic and appetizer. 1t re-
vitalizes the blood. and is especially
useful in building up the debilitated
and rundown.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is helping thov.
sands at this time Of year Let it helr
you. Get a bottle today and begin
taking it at once. Be sure to get
Hoods. Nothing else acts like it.

HERRICK SAYS TARIFF
IS VITAL QUESTION

Chicago. Nov. 1S.-Myron T. Herrick,
ex-Ambassador 10 France, made two
addresses here to-day. Al luncheon
al the Hamilton Club he told members
of that Republican organization that
the Progressives were back in the fold.
At the Chicago Industrial Club to-
night he discussed the tariff as great
present problem.
I'VE are living az a moment of tran
sient industrial prosperity based on the
abnormal conditions OF war time" said
Mr.. Herrick. But the haunting re-
membrance Of conditions as they exist
ed for months before the war. and the
certain knowledge that as they were
then they will be again with the COM
ing OF peace unless steps are taken in
prevention. make the tariff q question
of paramount Importance 10 US now.
THE increase in revenue which is
apparently necessary IL our new de-
fence measures are to be rightly
financed. the fact that the beet and
cane sugar Industry Of our country is
facing ruin when the reduction Of the
sugar duty takes full effect, the de-
STABILITY Of retaining the dye making
business which is being developed or
can be developed in this country, are
other important reasons which should
demand immediate action.
Men of all parties are free to admit
that the present tariff measure has
failed 10 accomplish what was hoped
from it. not only as protective meas
ure, but also as means of raising
revenue. And most important of all.
IT leads directly 70 a repetition of the
disaster Of 1898, from which we have
been saved thus far only by the indi-
rect results of the war"

Resident trustees and other ofhclals
who talked with Mr.. Schieffelin and Mr..
Wilcox here think they will report
that sentiment favors Major Robert
r. Motion, commandant OF cadets at
Hampton Institute.
The appointment of Major Motion
would be welcomed b. Warren Logan,
acting principal, and by the Leading
members of the Tuskegee faculty. he
is believed by many to have been Dr.
Washington's choice.
This belief is supported by the fact
