THE LIVE SUGGESTION.
Why would it not be a good
idea for all Democrats, everywhere
to hereafter taboo the use of the
word "tariff," and in its place use
the term "tax," which is what a
tariff really is?
If every Democratic writer and 1
speaker would use the term "The;
1 ) ....vUM
of "The Payne-Aldrich tariff bill,'
from now until the polls close on
X; vernier 5. there need be little
conjecture as to the outcome of
the election.
Who doubts but that if the
Dingley tariff bill had een known
and referred to generally as the
Dingley tax bill, and the McKin-
ley tariff bill as the McKiniey tax
bill, and the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill as ihe Pane-Aldrich tax bill,
the Republican partv would not be
in power today.
The word "tariff" is too inde
rinite. There are hundreds of
thousands of men who may be0ugh are very faithful and kept
brought to believe that it would!
be to their advantage in some in
direct, mysterious way to vote for
a tariff, but who could not be cajo
led or coerced into the conviction
that it is to their individual inte
rest to vote to put an enormous
tax on eyervthing they eat, wear,
and use.
If Democratic editors will make
it a standing ordf in their offices
to substitute the word "tax" for
"tariff in every article having to
do with protection, and if every
stump speaker will carry on a simi
lar crusade, 'and if the movement
will be made nation wide, the
nroblem of reversing -Republican
victories at the pohV will have
been solved,
Think this over!
"Our Territory"
One of the Chicago packers, in
the trial now going on at Chicago,
complained that "Swift infringed
on our territory," The disputed
territory was in New York and
Vermont, and the question natural
ly arises. How did that territory,
come to be the exclusive property
of Swift or anybody else?
The answer 's simple. Because
Swift and the other packers, af
ter driving the butchers in the
local communities in New York
and Vermont out of i business, by
underselling them, divided up the
territory thus seipd and called it
their own. Of course, as it vas
theirs! Having stjfled all compe
tition, both from within and with
out tne district, they were left
free to advance trices of meat to

HOW TOXURE CONSUMPTION.
It is Uoe of the ! Most Curable of
Chronic Diseases in its Early Stages.
Important Advice. ... :
Consumption is curable. . This
does not mean that every case
i J i -i
not mean that anyone having
consumption will get well without
making the supreme effort of his
life. Merely hoping to get well
will avail little. To cure even an
early else of consumption
requires an unyielding determin
ation on the part of the patient
that he will live according to
well defined sanitary and hygien
ic laws.
The first step in the cure of
the disease is to recognize that
the disease exists. Once estab
lished, make no effort to dodge
the fact: Then away with the
idea that the illness is "only a
deep seated cold" or-sjmply a
bad case of stomach trouble".
The issue must be squarely met.
Remember that early cases of
consumption are frequent'y
diagnosed as malaria, dyspepsia,
etc. Better far, to take the view
that the tro uble is consumption
and find out later that it is mala
ria or something else, than to
underestimate the importance of
the trouble.
The second step is to provide a
place for living and sleeping in
the open air, By all means live
out of doors in the open air and
s unshine "whenerer the weatbe r
permits. If you caii't camp out,
put up a tent in your door yard
or back yard, build a sun parlor
on the soum side of your house,
or enclose a porch as a sleeping
i
apartment. Dont permit the '
sides of the tent to be down, or
the windows of your sun parlor,
porch or sleeping apartments to
be closed except, to exclude rain
or snow.
Proper diet is of the greatest
importance in in the treatment
of consumption. Consumption
is a wasting disease. To
counteract this tendency to build
up the body it is absolutely
necessary that the consumptive
be given nourishing foods in
abundance.
Milk and raw eggs I
are perhaps the best articles of
diet known for this purpose,
individual cases will differ great
ly, but in general, a consumptive
will . need approximately the
following daily allowance of food:
two to three quarts of milk,,
three to eight eggs, four to eight
ounces of meat, six to eight
ounces of bread, two ounces of
butter, one helping each of
cereal, potatoes, anJ pudding,
two to four apples and the juice
of a lemon, Some patients will
be able to increase this allowance
50 per cent or even more, while
others will do better on perhaps
25 per cent less.
Plenty ot- rest is absolutely
necessary. Keep a careful tab on
the body temperature and if the
evening temperature runs as
high as 100, decrease the amout
of physical exertion to half.
Above all -things, avoid patent
medicines, Jcough cures, "con
sumption fcures", and whiskey
or other alcoholic drinks. Be
cheerful, keep clean, bathe daily,
follow the instructions of a com
petent physiciahl

Several bills are being consider
ed, ofie introduced by Represen
tative; Sheppard of Texas and an-
other Representative Webb of
iNOftm uarolina , are receiving
more attention than any others.
The.purpose of these -bills is to
protect prohibition territory from
liquor.3tealcrs as far as the law
will go.
The! Anti-Saloon League is be
hind the bills. Mr. Webb was
appointed on a committee by the
league to frame a bill. His bill,
which is now before the House
judiciary committee, may be ad
opted. It goes as far as the
constitution will permit, he thinks,
and is a step in the right direc
tion, the conservative temperance
people say. '
The Webb bill provides, that the
shipment or transporation, in any
manner, or by any means whatso
ever, of any spirituous, vinous,
malted, fermented, or other
intoxicating liquors of any kind,
including beer,, ale, wine, from
one Slate, Territoiy, or district of

State, or from any foreign coun

spirituous, vinous, malted, fer

quor is intended, by any person
interested therein directly or in
dimply, or in any. manner con
