 That all you do. Fat seems to melt away. The coarse lines of overweight give way to the refined ones of slenderness. You lose as much as a pound a day. You feel better than for years. For in this treatment you achieve two inn portant results. The lad Salts clear your system of toxins. sThe diet takes off fat with food that turns into energy instead of weight.
 If you're tired of being embar- rassed by fat, try this way. You'll be glad that you did. You can get lad Salts at any drug store.

Do Just These 7luo Simple Things Fat Melts Away

Science has made important dis coveries in fat reduction. The aver age fat person can now rip off fat . pound a day-four to seven pounds every week!-on a full stomach, with never a hungry mo- ment. Thus it is foolish now to stay fat.
 This is what you do: Take a tea spoonful ordinary lad Salts in a glass of water a half-hour before breakfast every morning. This re- duces moisture-weight instantly. Also cleanses the system of the waste matter and excess toxins that most fat people have, and banishes puffiness and bloat.
 Then do this about eating. FILL YOUR STOMACH-eat your fill- of lean meats, vegetables like spinach, caulifiower, cabbage. to- matoes, etc, and lots of salads. Eat

General Revision
Not Possible Now

The measure will not pro-
vide for a general revision
by any means. That would
require much time. 1t IS
said that among the few re-
ductions will be those on
sugar, cement, lumber and
shingles. There is a reason
for this-precisely the same
reason that impelled Oscar
Underwood, 20 years ago,
confronted with an Opposl-
tion majority in the Sem
ate and hostile President, to
confine revisions to a few OF
the more outrageous sched-
ules. The result was a gen
eral approval.
We know enough about
sugar, lumber and cement to
know that the rates on these
are unfair to the public and
unnecessary. We also know

haps, about the manner in

your success and happiness

Smartness and goodness? Prob

BUT SHARPNESS AND
GOODNESS WON'T GET YOU
VERY FAR, STRANGER, UN-
LESS OTHER PEOPLE APPRE-
CIATE THEM. So if you want
to get along with life, you must
get along with People. And
the first thing to learn is this:
YOU MUST TAKE PEOPLE
AS THEY ARE, AND NOT AS
YOU'D LIKE THEM TO BE.
Which right-off-bang will

people will never be what you
thought they would or should
be. They will never fit in with
your theories. They will never
come up to your standards.
Sad and Mad
Even the people you know

unexpected, irritating, idiotic
and actual vicious things; and
you'll want to stop them. You'll
want to make them see that
they're raising Cain with their
own lives as well as yours.
You'll feel sad and mad. You'll
rush in with grieved reproaches
and good advice.
Don't! People must live their
own lives, and you must learn
to let them. They must live
their own lives because that is
the only way in which they can
find out the truth about life
that particular truth which fits
them.
You may not admire their
method. You may think that
your way of living is much bet

it is. But that isn't the point.
Their way of living is the only

Vote of the People
Condemned the Tariff

In the campaign of 1880
and the by-elections of 1881
the tariff was an issue. The
people voted a condemna-
ton. But the Senate and
the presidency are in pos
session Of the Republicans
just as in 1911 when the
Democrats had the House.
A general revision is now
impossible for that reason;
and for another-we can
not now act within under
standings with other ma
tions that have met our
Chinese wall with one OF
their own. We are forced
to reciprocal action in the
tariff as a whole.
Just what measure will
emerge from the Democratic
committee will be known
this week. 1t will not be
drastic, and from every
point Of view it will be de-
fendable. The plans sug-
gested by Mr.. Rainey and
Senator Cordell Hull take
the new condition created
by the retaliation of other
nations who consideration.
One plan provides for re-
ductions conditional in their
operation upon reciprocal ac-
ton in other nations; an
other for the calling of an
international tariff confer
ence to get the world back
to a common sense basis OF
. trade. These plans will dis
turb no legitimate business
interest and will satisfy busl-
ness common sense.

House Will Act
Speedily OF Proposals

But WHAT yer is proposed
can be disposed of in the
House speedily. That body
thus far has demonstrated
that under wise and cautious
leadership, such as it las,
business can be transacted
without unreasonable delay.
It has made a splendid rec
ord in progress, and it is
not apt to depart from its
present method.
Apropos of method, Henry
Rainey, the Democratic
leader, has announced a plan
which is business-like and
highly commendable. 1t has
been the policy in the de-
bates to depart from the
matter under discussion to
take up other matters hav-
ing no relation to it. A
bill for an appropriation for
harbor improvements should
be disposed of. quickly and
with little debate; but the
debate has often been strung
to great length because mem
bers have made purely po-
litical speeches, and tariff
speeches, and foreign rela
tion speeches, under the
pretense of discussing the
subject before House or
Senate. Mr.. Rainey pro-
poses that debate shall be
confined to the subject he
fore the House. In Intervals
between the consideration Of
specific measures, he pro
poses that the House shall
resolve itself into a commit
tee of the whole for the
consideration of the state of
the Union; and members
may then discuss anything
they wish.

Tariff Commission
Loses Country's Faith

1t is possible, too, that the
tariff plan will include ac.
tion on the Tariff Commits
sion. The recent reorganiza-
tion Of the commission, facili-
tating the work of packing it
and the use of the flexibility
clause, would justify the end
ing of the mockery entirely.
No one today has faith in the
commission. And under the
flexibility clause, which is
more than debatable in pro-
priety, and has never been
used for the benefit of the
consumers, we have nothing
more than a transfer from
the legislative to the execu-
tive power of a limited right
to levy taxes. This would be
bad under all circumstances
but when the executive
power is in the hands of a
President who has lost the
confidence of the people,
there is nothing that can be
said for it.
The sole purpose of the
commission originally was to
provide a permanent body Of
experts, charged with the
duty of collecting facts scien-
tifically, and without refer
ence to party or privilege, to
be transmitted to Congress
to assist it in determining
upon the justice of a sched-
ule. The theory, and it was
a sound one, was that it is
utterly impossible for men,
bers of House and Senate,
with their many duties and
interests, to devote the time
necessary to exhaustive in
vestigations extending into
all countries. The commits
sion was intended, as Senator
Beveridge who launched the
fight for one in 1909, ex-
planned on the floor and in
letters to John Dalzell, to
serve as an agency of Con-
gress. It has become the tool
of the Executive, and this is
manifestly wrong.

Tariff; Trade Revival
Paramount Need
Blu Claude G. BOUers

THE decision Of the Demo
cratic lead ers in the
House to report, probably at
once, and pass this week a
tariff bill, before taking up
the tax question on the floor,
is justified. There is a sound
reason for giving precedence
to the tariff. Mr.. Smell, the
Republican leader, whose ac-
tivities as a member of the
Rules Committee under the
old regime contributed so
much to forcing the destruc-
tive Grundy act upon the
country, wants the tax bill
first. But just now Mr.. Smell
is not one of three czars OF
the House, and he will take
what he gets from those who
now are in control. Some
thing might be said for the
Smell view were it possible
that the limited tariff re-
vision bill would consume
many days or weeks, but it
won't.
AS far as the interest of
business is concerned, its inn
provement depends wholly
upon the revival of trade.
If there were a normal trade,
if we still had foreign mar
kets for the absorption of the
surplus of our factories and
fields, there would be no
hard times. And we shall
never have good times again
until something is done to re-
vive trade. We, under the
rule Of Mr.. Smell and his as
sociates, stupidity ignored the
warning of all economists
and sane business men, in the
enactment of a tariff act that
made trade between nations
all but impossible. 1t has
led to retaliation and re-
suited in the conversion of
nations into alright COM
partments. There never will
be a restoration Of any coun-
try so long as that condition
continues.
