Day of Extreme High Protective
Tariff Gone.
Happy, bright, alert—vigoroua and
vivacious—a good clear skin; a nat-
ural, rosy complexion and freedom
from illness are assured only by clean,
healthy blood. If only every woman
and likewise every man could realize
the wonders of drinking phospbated
hot water each morning, what a grat
ifylng change would take place.
Instead of the thousands of sickly,
anaemic-looking men, women and
girls with pasty or muddy complex
ions; instead of the multitudes ol
"nerve wrecks," "rundowns," "brain
fags" and pessimists we should see a
virile, optimistic throng of rosy-
checked people everywhere.
An Inside bath is had by drinking,
each morning before breakfast, a glass
of real hot water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate In it to wasli
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
ten yards of bowels the previous day's
indigestible waste, sour fermentations
and poisons, thus cleansing, sweeten-
ing and .freshening the entire alimen-
tary canal before putting more food
into the stomach.
Those subject to sick headache, bil-
iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism,
colds; and particularly those who
have a pallid, sallow complexion and
who are constipated very often, are
urged to obtain a quarter pound of
limestone phosphate from any drug
gist or at the store which will cost
but a trifle but is sufficient to demon-
strate the quick and remarkable
change in both health and appearance
awaiting those who practice internal
sanitation. We must remember that
inside cleanliness is more important
than outside,. because the skin does
not absorb impurities to contaminate
the blood, while the pores in the thir-
ty feet of bowels do.—Adv.

Say Cardui Built Up System When
Other Medicines Failed. Believes
It Saved Her Life.
Hender8onville, N. C.—Mrs. M. A.
Redmon, of R. F. D. 1, this place,
writes: "I wish to state that before
having taken Cardui, my condition of
health was all run-down, and bad been
that way ever since my marriage two
years ago last May. I only weighed
107 pounds. My average weight is
135 pounds. I had such awful pains
at times I could hardly go... I had
severe pains in my back and abdomen,
and could scarcely do my work... I
could not lift anything heavy.
"In November, 1913, I began taking
Cardui. I thought I would give it a
trial though my family doctor, ,
had set the date for an examination
of me... I saw my improvement after
taking the first bottle... I am.getting
tat and well, and in March this year
I weighed 128 pounds... Your Cardui
tonic built up my system whon all
other medicines failed. I feel and look
like a different person... I am still...
praising it to my friends,... for I can
truly say I believe it saved my life.
My relief from all pain has been per-
manent '*
If you are run-down in health and
need a tonic, take Cardui, the woman's
tonic. It will help you.

State'inen Recognize That We Cannof
Flood Other Nations With Goods
Without Giving Them an Op-
portunity to Trade.
Is the Republican party to make
itself ridiculous at the national con-
vention in June by declaring for a high
protective tariff? The world Is mov-
in- swiftly to new conditions, and w®
is a nation are more vitally affected
perhaps than most of us realize. All our
shipyards on every coast are working
at top speed to provide tonnage to re-
place that lost through the fearful
ravages and insatiable demands of
war. This tonnage must, and of
course will, seek markets left open
t us by the present participants in
the European struggle However, all
such markets, it should be pointed
out and kept in mind, can neve be
w. n and kept if the United States is
to withdraw within herself and keep
behind the old Chinese wall of pro-
tection. The logic of the situation is
seemingly dawning upon many of our
leading bankers wto have been prom-
inent supporters of the Republican
party, as tbey see, now that they have
been called upon to lend capital to the
nations we are seeking to come into
closer relations with commercially,
that we cannot flood them with our
^oods unless we give a like opportuni-
ty to them. Trade can never be one-
sided and be successful.
The protective-tariff theory was
(loomed before the war broke out. but
the war has hastened its demise many
years. Special tariffs, "preferential
treatment," the securing of "zones of
Influence," or, more bluntly put, the
grabbing of other people's territory
by the European rivals Fnd the plant-
ing of colonies and spread of the im-
perialistic idea and of conquest, have
sown the seed of international dis-
cord, and finally brought about a burst-
ing of all the dams of hate and rage
which these things bred and deluged
the world with blood. The antithesis

Secretary McAdoo's Plans.
The McAdoo plans contemplate in-
creasing the customs revenues at no
point. It proposes to repeal the free-
sugar clause, which in the normal
course of events would become ef-
fective May 1 next, and thus to re-
tain some $52,000,000 annual Income
which would be wiped out if this
clause were left on the statutes. That
this feature will be readily adopted is
not seriously to be questioned. It took
all the influence that the administra-
tion could bring to bear, to adopt the
schedule that looked to ultimate free
sugar. It will be a good deal easier
to repeal that clause than it was to
enact it.
But aside from this concession to
revenue necessities, the administra-
tion proposes to give no recognition
to tariff needs. It will stand by the
Underwood measure, and ask the
country to pay direct taxes Instead of
indirect ones that mean protection.
On this point there will bo made up
an issue that wHl not fall to have Im-
portant bearing on the work of the
coming congress and on the presi-
dential campaign of next year.
The treasury plan, it will be ob-
served, does not :nclude any add!

or distilled. Explanation of this ie

The Way It Goes.
"A man lives three lives—youth,
manhood and age," philosophically
stated Professor Pate. "Youth is the
rising sun of life, when he thinks of
what a heck of a feller he is going to
be; manhood is the sun at full me-
ridian, when he is satisfied that he is
indeed a heck of a feller; ago is the
setting sun, when he sags around and
brags about what a heck of a feller
he used to be."—Judge.
English Preserve Early French.
The pronunciation of Beaumont, one
of the villages captured by the Ger-
mans in the great attack on Verdun,
presents, at any rate so far as the
ttrst syllable is concerned, no difficul-
ties even to the man in the street. Yet
in tho eighteenth century the average
Englishman spoke of "Bewmont" and
"Bewfort," and Leigh Hunt, comment-
ing on the fact, maintains that the
average Englishman for once was
right, and was merely reviving the
original French pronunciation, sur-
viving here in the word "beauty,"
which we correctly rhyme with 'duty."

WISE HOSTESS
Won Her Guests to Postum.
"Three great coffee drinkers were
my old school friend and her two
daughters.
"They were always complaining and
taking medicine. I determined to give
them Postum instead of coffee when
they visited me, so without saying
anything to them about it, I made a
big pot of Postum the first morning.
"Before the meal was half over,
each one passed up her cup to be re-
tilled, remarking how fine the 'coffee'
was. The mother asked for a third
cup and inquired as to the brand of
coffee I used. I didn't answer her
question just then, for I heard her say
a while before that she didn't like Pos-
tum unless it was more than half
cofTee.
"After breakfast I told her that the
'coffee' she liked so well at breakfast
was pure Postum, and the reason she
liked it was beoause It was properly
made.
"I have been brought up froth' a
nervous, wretched invalid, to a fine
condition of physical health by leav-
ing off coffee and using Postum.
"I am doing all I can to help the
world from coffee slavery to Postum
freedom, and have earned the grati-
tude of many, many friends." Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.
Postum comes in two forms:
Postum Cereal—the original form—
must be well boiled. 15c and 25c
Pkgs.
Instant Postum—a soluble powder—
dissolves quickly in a cup of hot wa-
ter, and. with cream and sugar, makes
a delicious beverage instantly. 30c
and 50c tins.
Both forms are equally delicious and
cost about the same per cup.
