of women wearing mediaeval or anc
ient Greek costumes instead of the
conventional dress, depicting the dif
ferent stages of the woman suffrage

gar E. Clark of Iowa to another term
on the interstate commerce commis

ate committee before which the nom

TARIFF TO BE FIRST
IMPORTANT MATTER TO BE CON
SIDERED AT ONCE.
TO MAKE PARTY PLEDGES GOOD
Drugs, Chemicals, Paints, etc., Will
Form Subject for the Opening
Hearing.
Washington.—The first stage in the
program for downward revision of the
tariff, promised by the democratic
party, will be entered upon Monday,
when the house representatives,
through its committee on ways and
means, will formally open the doors
to the Amreiean public for the discus
sion of tariff rates, protection to in
dustries and concessions to the "ulti
mate consumer.”
The work will be preparatory to
the first change of tariff duties since
1908, when the Payne-Aldrich law was
enacted by a republican congress and
approved by a republican president.
Fortified by the election of a demo
cratic president and congress, the
adoption of a tariff reduction plank at
the Baltimore convention and the
pronouncement of President-elect Wil
son that tariff revision is to be the
first big achievement of the new ad
ministration. democratic leaders will
open the hearings confident that they
will lead to an early change in many,
if not all, of the schedules of the ex
isting tariff law.
Methods Not Decided.
The method of the approaching re
vision and the extent of the changes
to be made in the present duties are
ppints not fully settled by the demo
cratic leaders in congress and Presi
dent-elect Wilson. It is known that
reduced duties on chemical, metal,
cotton and woolen goods will follow
closely the standard fixed by the bills
which have passed the democratic
house during the last two years,
none of which has bcome law.
Output of Stamps Doubled.
Washington.—By direction of Post
master Hitchcock the bureau of en
graving and printing today increased
its daily output of parcel post stamps
from 5,000,000 to 10.000,00ft
Prom practically every section ol
the country requisitions by mail and
by telegram are being made for more
parcel stamps. Postoffice officials are
positive that no danger of a tieup of
the service exists on account of the
exhaustion of the supply of stamps, as
a sufficient reserve is on hand here.
Reports received from postmasters
in various parts of ihe t'nited States
indicate a tremendous increase in
business on account of parcel opst.
but no serious congestion is reported,
and the department has not been re
quested to furnish any additional as
sistance. Fragmentary reports indi
cate that the success of the new serv
ice has exceeded all expectations.
Cured of a Broken Back
Omaha.—The free use of his limbs,
perfect health and his discharge from
St. Jospeh's hospital was the birthday
gift of Police Surgeon T. T. Harris,

to see loved ones whom six months
ago he thought he would never look
upon again. The recovery is looked
upon by physicians all over the coun
try as marvelous.
Deadlock in Peace Conference.
Ixmdon.—Unless Turkey or the
Balkan states can be prevailed upon
to recede from their present stiff
necked attitude the peace negotia
tions have arrived at an absolute
deadlock and Monday's meeting will
be the last of the conference. The
Turkish delegates strongly affirm that
they have offered all they can con
cede. The Balkan delegates protest
with equal vehemence that the Otto
man empire must surrender to them
what they consider to be the spoils
of war.
The Horse Comes Back.
Chicago. 111.—The horse has come
back into his own here. The auto
mobile bus line running between de
partment stores and railroad stations
has been abandoned.
Reports Are Unfounded.

brunn castle, receiving some court
dignitaries.

Washington.—Senator Joseph W.
Bailey sent his resignation as senator
from Texas to Senator Gallinger to
take effect immediately. R. M. John
ston will succeed him.

Fisher and Elmer Smith, shot firers,
were killed by the explosion that fol
lowed.

AND THE MULE UNDERSTOOD
Sergeant of Artillery Talked with Ani
mal in a Language Both Compre
hensive and Free.
A soldier with the bright red chev
rons of a sergeant of artillery was toil
ing up a grade near the new Union
depot the other day when be noticed
a grading team of mules stuck fast
with a load of dirt. The driver w’as
perspiring, swearing and wielding the
whip all at the same time. The ser
geant looked on a moment depreciat
ingly.
■'What's th’ matter with ’im?” he in
quired. jerking his thumb toward the
off hybrid.
"Laziness!” roared the teamster.
"Resides,” he went on to explain
jeeringly, "he's one of them broken
down army mules vou read about.”
“Eh?”
“An artillery mule.”
“Well, then, what you sayin’ to
im?”
“I was saying—” explained the
teamster, and went on to reiterate
a sulphurous string of adjectives,
every one of which bore the distinct
brand of Old Nick. The sergeant of
artillery sadly shook his head.
“Let me talk wit’ ’im,” he said.
Then walking close to the straining
animal, he raised both clinched hands
above his head and slowly brought
them down to a level w’ith the shiny
buckle of his artilleryman’s belt. As
he did so the air was shattered with a
series of cuss words, the like of which
never before was heard by the mem
bers of the grading camp in the time
since it was established a year ago^
The oaths in mixed English and Taga
log snapped out with the deadly and
rhythmical precision of a Colt auto
matic cannon and they kept coming.
About the time his fists were down
the miracle happened. The mule dug
his sharp shod feet well into the
ground, bent his back into a perfect
arch and lifted the load bodily up the
slor —Kansas City Journal.
Balanced.
Representative Pujo was talking in
Washington about the currency.
“It must balance," he said. "It
must balance automatically and deli
cately. It must resemble the Christmas
husband.
“ ‘Oh, John, dear,' said this chap's
wife, 'I’m sorry you've got all those
heavy parcels to carry!’
“ ’Well, you see,’ John panted, re
assuringly, ‘my pocket is very much
lighter now.’ ”
Wished to Break the Record.
“There's something uncanny about
that lawyer.”
“Why?”
“When his client was defeated he
didn't make a motion for a new
trial."
Which?
“Have you had much experience in
hooking up?”
■‘Horses or waists?”
The surest stepping stone to matri
mony is a solitaire.
THE BEST TEACHER.
Old Experience Still Holds the Palm.
For real practical reliability and
something to swear by, experience—
plain old experience—iB able to carry
a big load yet without getting sway
backed.
A So. Dak. woman found some
things about food from Old Experi
ence a good, reliable teacher.
She writes:
“I think I have used almost every
breakfast food manufactured, but none
equal Grape-Nuts in my estimation.
"I was greatly bothered with weak
stomach and indigestion, with forma- !
tion of gas after eating, and tried
many remedies for it but did not find
relief.
“Then I decided I must diet and see
if I could overcome the difficulty that
way. My choice of food was Grape
Nuts because the doctor told me I
could not digest starchy food.
“Grape-Nuts food has been a great
benefit to me for I feel like a different
person since I begun to eat it. It is
wonderful to me how strong my
nerves have become. I advise every
one to try it, for experience is the
best teacher.
“If you have any stomach trouble—
can’t digest your food, use Grape
Nuts food for breakfast at least, and
you won't be able to praise it enough
when you see how different you feel.”
