justice done. 1t read:.
"It is a gratifying thing to know
that there is a determination that
justice shall be done. 1t was ex-
tremely necessary to refer to the af-
fair in my address to the Congress,
because the general public did not
seem to know that the federal gov
ernment was powerless to act in the
matter, and it was unbearable to
have a widespread impression that
the federal government was willingly
or purposely ignoring that inexcusa-
BILE crime.
'There is. Of course, a conscience in
Illinois which will not tolerate such
disgracefur thing. 1t will be very
pleasing to me and reassuring to the
whole country to know that this
conscience, is finding expression"

Thousands of men and women are
falling off in health and vigor because
the food they eat is lacking in one
element, without which they cannot
keep fit. This element is Vitamine.
Ordinary meatsand fish donot contain
it. Milk is not rich in it. Manufac-
tured foods have the Vitamines
destroyed in the process of manufac
ture. Some fruit juices are rich in
Vitamines. A careful examination of
experiments conducted by both
British and American authorities
shows that Oranges contain an album
dance of both "B" and &C" Vita
mines and Apples contain a relatively
largeamountofthese vital substances.
Why is it that" Fruit-a-tives "gives
such marvellous resultsin overcoming
Constipation, Impure Blood, Starved
Nerves and a rundown system?
Because "Fruit-a-tives" is true
fruit medicine-the only medicine in
the world made from intensified fruit
Juices. "Fruit-a-tives" is rich in the
"B" and &C" Vitamines, derived
from the juices oforanges and apples.
To take "Fruit-a -tives" regularly,
is to supply the system with the Vita
mines which are needed and which are
absolutely necessary to health.

DO IT NOW

The New England Importers and Trad
ers Association has passed resolution
which says: 1--WE are of the opinion that
all tariff chan ges should be delayed until
world conditions are more settled and the
earif requirements of the country are
known"
On the first day of last October the
United Kingdom put into effect tariff
of SO per cent on more than 5000 COM
modities produced in the United States
which entered into competition with
similar commodities produced in England
and in all British dominions even in.
GLIDING the Fiji Islands. This was con-
aessedly a protective tariff because it
carried this title: 1.-THE Safeguarding of
Industries Act" Italy has safeguarded
her industries by high tariff. Switzer-
land has a tarif IF law which fixes rates
which, inse effect, prohibit importations OF
such articles as are produced and con-
sumed in that country. France has in
creased her tariff rates more than 100
Der cent. Spain has so largely increased
import duties that they are protective in
effect. Poland has tariff law which
shuts out nearly everything which she
can produce at home. Belgium has prac-
tically shut out importations from all
countries having deprecated currency
by adopting the valuation plan which has
had some advocacy in this country, IN
modified form. Sweden has new tariff
Law which levies, on an average, very
large increase over former rates. Finland
has tariff which. in effect, prohibits the
importation of many manufactured ar
ticles and largely increases the rates on
all importations. Austria has more than
doubled her pre-war rates, and Hungary
has increased hers about so per cent, while
Germany has increased hers about 80 per
cent. Half dozen other smaller coun-
tries have largely increased their tariff
duties. The object of each one of these
countries is, first, to protect its home
market, and second, to produce reve.
nue., and all the above mentioned enact
ments have been made during the las
year.
These facts seem to us to show that
as far as tariff in this country is con-
cerned, s'world conditions" are pretty
much settled everywhere except in the
United States and the tariff require
ments of this country" are evident These
foreign tariffs which we have alluded
will close the doors of foreign markets tt
millions of dollars worth of our produc'
tions every month.
This is the purpose and this will be thu
effect of every one of these foreign tariff
enactments. We must now rely upon oul
home market more than ever before
Without adequate protection of these oul
industrial decadence will be rapid anc
+ uinous and, in the not distant future
our lists of the unemployed will be H.
CT eased ten-fold and the wages of oul
workers will drop, half way at least, tt
the average foreign levels.
The time has come when the United
States must take into account the need!
of the American people and protect theil
home market as is being done by nearly
every other nation in the world.
