WASHINGTON, Juno 21. Important re
ductions In the Underwood tariff bill
rotes on Iron, steel and other metal prod
ucts; the addition of cattle, wheat, plff
Iron, Angora wool, nnd many other arti
cles to tho freo list; and an Increase In
rates on many classes of cotton goods
and some silk products, were tho chief
features of tho revised tariff bill as It
was laid before senate democrats today
by Chairman Blmmons of the finance
committee.
After weeks of work In which every
Item had undcrgono close scrutiny by
subcommittees of the majority member
ship of the finance committee, tho re
drafted measure was brougnt Into tho
democratic caucus today. For two hours
the Important changes were explained to
democrats and the bill then was made
public. Experts of the committee at onco
began work on a comprehensive summary
of tho changes.
AVtUon'n Desires Prcrnll.
President Wilson's desires as to free
sugar In 1916 and free wool at once pre
vailed In tho redraft of tho bill. In tho
general level of Its rates thfi. "Simmons'
bill" represents a heavier cut from exist
ing1 rates of tho Payne-Aldrich law than
did the bill as it passed the house.
Tho senate caucus adjourned early and
members spent tho afternoon working out,
private analysts of tho measure. The
caucus will reconvene tomorrow. Senate
leaders believe the bill will reach the sen
ate itself late next week,
Members of the finance committee ex
pressed the belief tonight that there
would not be much revision in the cau
cus. The chief Interest," of course, cen
ters on wool and sugar, but administra
tion leaders believe that there will be Tlo
change in them and that all but two, or
perhaps three senators will take the
pledge binding themselves to' support the
bill.
"This Is one of the few times," said
Senator Gore tonight, "when a tariff bill
has come from a senate committee with
lower rates than the house- had prepared.
We have materially reduced nearly every
schedule except cotton."
Five Million Incrense.
In a statement of the rate changes pre
pared tonight for the committee, Chair
man Simmons said that "as a result nf
the changes proposed In the house bill by
tho democrntlo members of the finance
committee, the revenues of the govern
ment would be Increased approximately
$5,000,000, hand-In-hand with a reduction
of the taxation following tho reductions
already made In the houso bllL" These
Increases In revenue will be made 'up by
a tariff on bananas and restoration of the
fulll Internal revenue duty of $1.10 per"
gallon on brandies used in fortifying
wines. ,
Concerning certain of the changes the;
committee statement said:
"The chemical schedule remains sub
stantially as it came from tho house;
with; this exception ftatjcertaln ya .colors,
which entor largely into the niahufagture
of cotton, woolen.and.qtner.VtejStlles whjdll
the house put on the dutiable JUst have
been transferred to the free list.
"With regard to the sugar schedule, no
change was made from the provisions of
the Underwood bill, except to strike out,
, 'sugar tinctured and colored,' for fear
that ultramarine blue used in bleaching
sugar might be regarded aa colored mat
ter and thereby refined sugar becomo
subject to a duty of 2 cento per pound.
"With regard to cigars and other to
bacco products from the Phllllplnes, the
provision of the Underwood bill permit
ting cigars with SO per cent of tobacco,
the product of the Philippines, and 20 per
cent the product of foreign countries, to
be admitted Into the United States, free
of duty, was stricken out of the bill.
Only cigars and tobacpo. products, ex
clusively of Philippine tobacco to be ad
mitted freo of duty Into the United
States."
Of the amendement to the liquor sched
ule, the statement said:
"An additional section is added repeal
ing so much of the act approved October
1, 1890, and acts amendatory thereto, so
far as they relate to the use free of tax
ipirlts for tho fortification of sweet wines
and providing that hereafter all wine
ipirlts. grape brandy and alcohol used
lhall bo subject to the same tax as Jn
other cases. It is estimated that this tax
will result in an Increase of revenue of
approximately $7,000,000 per annum.

To The Young
Expectant Mother
Women of Experience Advise tha Use
of Mother's Friend.
There is a certain degree of trepidation la
the minds of most women In regard to the
eub'tot of motherhood. The looting to
posiefs U often contradicted by the Inter
eot fear of a period of distress.
Iiut there need be no such dread In view
of the fact that we hart a most noblo
remedy In what is known as Mother's
Friend. This Is an external application
that has a wonderful Influence and control,
over the muscular tissues of the abdomen.
By its dally use the muscles, cords, tendons '
and ligaments all gently expand without
the slightest strain ; there la no pain, no
nausea, no nervousness; what was dreaded
as a severe physical ordeal becomes a calm,
serene, Joyful anticipation that has Its im
press such as our foremost teachers of
Eugenics are striving to drill into the
minds of the present generation.
In almost every community there are
women who have used Mother's Friend, and'
they are the ones that recovered quickly,
conserved their health and strength to thus
preside oyer families destined by every rule
of physiology and the history of success
ful men and women, to repeat the story ot
greater s l ement.

STORY OF
LUM
The PI at ner Lumber Company
Marks Twenty -fifth Year with
the Greatest Business in History
of Thriving Institution. Yards
located at Every Point of the
Compass George W.Platner the
Dynamic Force Behind the Im
mense Organization.
It was Just twonty-flve years ago
this month that George W. Platner,
founder ot tho I'latncr Lumber com
pany acquired an Interest In the lum
ber business In Omaha, which since
that tlmo has expanded to such an
extent n to require the combined ef
forts of the five brothers, and a small
army of workman In caring for their
immense business,
"Large oaks from small acorns
grow," runs tho adage. This can most
truthfully bo said ot tha Platner Lum
ber company, which today owns four
large lumber yards In Omaha.
On thu cast, the west, the north and
the south are tho yards of tha Plat
ner company.
The convenient location of the yards
has brought to the attention of con
tractors and home builders all over
the city the Platnor Lumber com
pany's sorvlce, which has boon no
small factor in building up their lra
mensk business hero.
It tfas to found this service, this
accomodation to the builder, that
brought to tho attention ot George W.
Platner the importance of locution ot
tho yards.
Ileal estate values were advancing
by leaps and . bounds. The growing
busltiubs made it necessary for George
W, 1'latner to find not a few, lots, or a
block, but several blocks at the proper
points tor the location of tho yards.
The four yards, aa they are estab
lished today, wore the result ot fif
teen years ot effort and planning and
acquiring for this express purpose,
though tlie last three years have Just
btigun to unfold tho results of his la
bors. At the, largest yard, the Farm
urn Lumber company, covering four
blocks in length, at Twenty-fourth
and Boyd streets, Floronco and Ben
son buyers, find every convenience
In trackage, loading facilities, and an
immense and, complete stock ot lum
ber to select 'from. The Flatner Lum
ber company at Twenty-fifth and Oak
streets provides' the same accommo
dation for South Omaha and Ralston
buyors. On the west, Aho Dundee

and ho thriving city of Dundee. Tho
eastern business of tho three cities
is cared for by the Plntner Lumber
company at Twenty-seventh nnd
Broadway, In Council Bluffs. Tho
yards, located at every point of (ho
compass as thoy arc, affords mora
for tho buyer of building materials,
than one might realize on first
thought.
The force ot men work fast, for It
wns always been Creorge I'latner's
Idea to liavo the sheds und tracks and
warehouses most conveniently ar
ranged to cxpedlto their work.
In a dust-proof warehouse, for doors
and windows and doors and window
frames, Borae thirty earn of muterltil
are stored. From a track on either
side, tho cars uro unloaded, directly
to the basement, tho first floor, or the
second floor, as tho cabo may de
mand. Thero Is no unnecessary
handling of material. Labor-saving
tlmo-savlng, plutinlng und arrange
ments liavo minimized tho cost of op
peratlons In each and ovory one of the
Plainer yards.
'Time costs money," and If tho
company loses, tho consumer must
ultimately pay that Iobs This is
where the builder comes In for a shore
of tho profit, In buying ot the Platner
yards. He does not have to pay for
clumsy mismanagement and lost tlmo.
The I'latncr system has eliminated
every waste ot time and energy, which
In so many; Instances Is an exponslve
luxury to tha buyer, who must pay,
though he Is In no way responsible
fqr such a, waste.
Behind every big business there must
bo a dauntless, firm, aggressive, and
persistent force. Tho dyamlo force of

ascent ot the highest peak ot Mount Mc
Klnley was accomplished for the( first
time on Juno 7, when the party led by
Archdeacon Hudson Stuck, Episcopal
missionary (or Alaska, accompanied by
Robert G. Taturn, Harry P. Karstens and
Walter Harper, reached tho top of the
south peak ot the mountain, the high
est on the continent. News ot the suc

by a messenger sent by Dr. Stuck, who is
resting at the base camp. Archdeacon
Stuck expects to return to Fairbanks in
August and will go to New York In Oc
tober as delegate for Alaska to the gen

Wear white clothes when you feel th

Noted physicians claim that optical
suggestion is everything In summer; If
garments and surroundings appear cool
to tho eye you havo accomplished much
In tho battlo for summer comfort.
In this connection It would bo wll to
say that it isn't at ull expensive to keep

Tha work taken In dally by Dresher

For more than twenty-two consecu
tive years. Grorgo W Platner's Inter
est remained In this establishment.
Three years ago he sold out his en
tire Interest there, and launuhed the
Plainer Lumber company, nt the snmo
time taking Into the business the four
brothers, each of whom Id In the per
sonnl charge- of one of the ynrd.
Whether the lumber btislnes wns a
natural gift of tho Plainer family, or
whether they drift -hI Into It by elm nee,
may never be exactly determined. Tho
fact remains that nil ot tl-o brothers
engaged In the, business, when they
entered business life. When the time
enmo for launching the big Platner
compnny. the five brothers were on
the spot, each and every one having
already hud a complete und thorough
training In tho business prior to that
time.'
The rent estate for the four yards
had been acquired. The time wns ripe.
Unfettered by any big cotporntton,
not owned or Influenced In the least
degree by the nlleged "Lumber Trust,"
the Plfttners combined their efforts
to mnko this lumber business RUCceeiL
The gigantic volumn of their trade
today is a powerful and silent witness
to their success.
From an active retail standpoint
George W. Platner has put In moro
oonnccutlve years In the lumber busi
ness In Omaha than any other lum
berman here now. George W. Platner
was fit to direct the efforts and poli
cies ot tho company. Ho fitted into
the Job llko a glove. The iollcy ot
giving every customer full and com
plete value for every dollar spent
brought customers for tho first pur
chase. This treatment also won them
the man us a steady customer. He
told his friends. The friends came,
and thoy, In turn, told their friends,
and tho news spread llko tire. The.
business Increased by leaps and
bounds.
Men cumc from far and wide, and
told ot having saved In some in
stances ns much aa 60 por cent ot
their lumber bill by coming to the
Platner compuny in Omaha. Their
friends cither camo or sent in their
orders.
The business was kept clean and
sound. It flourished, Tho business
policy of tho Plainer firm has won
for them u putronago and a vast
number of sutlsfled customers, which
competition, no matter how strong
or how bold, cannot cuslly wrest away
from them.
Another feature of the Platner yards
is tho variety, un almost endless va
rloty, ot the latest and moat up-to-dato
lines ot building nmturlals and
mill work carried In tha city. A num
ber of theso lines cannot be dupli
cated In any lumber yard In Oman.
Thoy aro tho product of tho aggres
slvo policy of the Platnor yards, that
of keeping their business r;ht up to
the minute.
They curly realized that the policy
of honesty and fair dealing with tho
public with ovory man und woman,
wealthy or In moderate circumstances,
, who might bo in the marktst for build
ing materials, wouiuj win lor mem,
and that policy alone has been their
guide' The Platner firm still forged
ahead. Tho builders got better service.
The BmoJl. contractors found that they
of the mountain Is 30,600 feet.
Tho party found much evidence ot
selsmlo disturbances on tho upper ridges.
The upper basin shows evidence of a
violent upheaval and the ridges are badly
shattered but tho summits are not
marred.
Archdeacon Stuck confirmed the ascent
ot the north peak by Thomas Lloyd and
three companions In 1910, being able with
field glasses to see the flagstaff ereote'd
by tho Lloyd party.
This peak Is the one nlleged to have
been reached by Dr, Frederick A. Cook,
Several unsuccessful attempts have been
made to reach It

Many contractors, who started
twenty years ago, to do business with
the firm in which George Platner was
associated, are still buying their ma
terials of the Platner yards. The four
yards make It so convenient In deliv
