WASHINGTON, May 25.-Rl-
Substantial increases Ii import

ties OF the farm and factory are
provided for in the new tariff bill
which before nichtfall Is expected
to be passed by the house and sent
to the senate.
The measure, the first tariff
legislation in seven years. also
recommends sweeping changes in
administrative provisions OF the
law and a reorganization OF the
tariff commission under a system
designed to speed I'D It's work.
The bin revises. mostly upward.

the existing Fordney-Mc Cumber
law. which it is designed to sup

Everybody Affected
Every man. woman and child in
the country and nearly every for
eign nation In the world Is affected
by the economic changes proposed
BY the measure in the seven year
old republican protective tariff
structure.
Perhaps the most far-reaching
change is the advance of sixty
four hundredths Of a cent in the
effective duty on sugar. raising the
uresent duty or ITS cents a pound
on Cuban raw sugar to 2.40 cents

Sugar Duties Important
Important commodities long al

States are made dutiable. includ-
ing hides. leather. booths and shoes.

The measure also sets up an en-
tirelv new rate schedule TO embrace

These goods are protected I'm exist
Ing law under the silk schedule.
From a public standpoint the IN
creases in the sugar rate and the
boosting Of the duty On raw wool
from 81 to "a cents a pound are
regarded as more important than
the others. The duties placed on
shoes and raises in rates on hun
dreds Of other farm and factory
products also will have a bearing
on family budgets unless producers
absorb the higher imposts instead
Of passing them on to the con-
sumner.
Hoover Given Power
While the measure Is understood
to be Objectionable IN some respects
to Pres. Hoover. II meets his re-
quest for a reorganization Of the
tariff commission by providing au-
thority for him TO terminate the
terms OF office of the present SIX
commissioners at his will by the
simple process of sending the
names Of their successors to the
senate for its advice and consent

power under the flexible clause,

Plaster That Absorb.
Sound Coming Into Use

Assembly rooms and auditoriums
have long afforded engineers and
architects problems in acoustic cor
rection. In large rooms of this char
acter, where orators address many
people, echoes and excessive rever-
beration and confusion of sound must
be anticipated and its distracting eff
feet upon the attention Of listeners
prevented. Hospitals, hotels and
apartment houses find sound-absorb-
ing material on upper walls and cell
ings particularly restful to the &C.
eupants. In this machine age of many
distracting noises the home owner is
now considering methods for elimina-
ton of noise.
A sound absorbing plaster may be
used as a finish coat over gypsum
plaster. lime and sand plaster or upon
concrete. This plaster can be fioated
to produce a fiat semi-smOoth sur
face. 1t lends itself readily to the
creation of a variety of decorative
finishes. Each texture may be further
enhanced by color. specially pre-
pared acoustic paint must be used,
which may be purchased in variety
of colOrs. One coat is usually suf-
ficient to give the desired color effect,
although two or more colors or
shades of the same color are prac-
ticable.

SAME PRESCRIPTION
HE WROTE IN 1892

When DR.. Caldwell started to practice
medicine, back in 1875, the needs for q
laxative were not as great as today.
People lived normal lives, ate plain,
wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh
air. But even that early there were
drastic physics and purges for the relief
of constipation which DR.. Caldwell did
not believe were good for human beings.
The prescription for constipation that
he used early in his practice, and which
he put in drug stores in 1892 under the
name of DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin,
is liquid vegetable remedy, intended
for women, children and elderly people,
and they need just such a mild. safe
bowel stimulant.
This prescription has proven its worth
and is now the largest selling liquid
laxative. 1t has won the confidence of
people who needed it to get relief from
headaches, biliousness, fatulence, indi-
gestion, loss of appetite and sleep, bad
breath, dyspepsia, colds, feyers. At your
druggist, or write Syrup Pepsin,"
