TARIFF REDUCTION
NEARLY 11 PER CENT
Ad Valorem Under Democrats
Heavily Sliced
Washington, D. C., June 10. —A ta
ble prepared by the senate finance
committee showing comparative fig
ures based on the Underwood tariff
bill and the present tariff law, shows
the average ad valorem rate in the
proposed bill to be 32.99 per cent., as
against 43.64 per cent, under the
Payne-Aldrich" bill.
The estimated loss of revenue
through the augmented free list in the
Underwood bill would be $24,718,329 on
an import valuation of $102,534,466.
Revenue under the proposed bill ex
clusive of the income tax, is estimated
at $266,701,130, as compared with $304,-
216,694 under the present rates.
With the income tax revenue esci
mated at $80,000,000, the total revenue
under the proposed bill would aggre
gate about $347,000,000. In the sun
dries schedule wherein the democrats
have added many articles not hereto
fore taxed or have increased rates on
luxuries, the ad valorem equivalent
shows an increase over the Payne-
Aldrich rates from 24.72 per cent, to
33.26 per cent., and the estimated rev
enue from this schedule is raised from
$27,000,000 to about $60,000,000.
Wool a Big Item.
Wool revenue, it is estimated will
decrease from $27,000,000 to $13,000,-
000. The sugar revenue would de
crease at the rate of $20,000,000 a
year until sugar goes on the free list
in three years. >
Majority members of the senate fi
nance committee will meet tomorrow
to prepare the measure for the demo
cratic caucus next week. Senator Sim
mons, chairman of the committee, said
two of the sub-committees would not
be able to report for several days and,
I each has several propositions to sub
mit to thie majority members.
These include questions relating to
the income tax, administrative features
and whether certain duties on the silk
schedule should be made specific in
stead of ad valorem.
Discuss Countervailing Duty.
The proposal of the sub-committe
charge of the agricultural schedule to
put a countervailing duty on live stock,
grains, meats and flour also will be
discussed by the majority members.
With these products on the free list,
subject to a countervailing duty, cas
tle from Canada would be dutiable at
from 22 1-2 to 25 per cent, ad valorem,
a sum equal to the Canadian tax on
cattle; meats would be dutiable at 2 1-2
to 3 cents a pound; wheat 10 to 12
cents a bushel; oats and rye 9 to 10
l cents a bushel; flour 50 to 60 cents a
barrel; rice flour 45 to 50 cents a bar
-1 rel; oatmean 50 to 60 cents a bar
rel. Senator Simmons estimates that
j the majority members of the commit
tee will be at least a week considering
1 the bill.
To protect the city of New York
against the operation of the proposed
income tax where it might fall upon
the city’s interest in the earnings of
the Interborough Rapid Transit com
pany, Comptroller Mathewson and
Acting Corporation Counsel Hohle, of
New York, have suggested important
amendments to the income provision.
One amendment would make it clear
that incomes of states or municipali
ties cannot be taxed. The other would
exempt earnings pf any private cor
poration when the operation of the in
come tax would result in a loss to a
state, county or city.

THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF AN
INSURANCE CHANGE MAGE
Atlanta, June 10.—A transfer of
more than usual interest* in Southern
insurance has just occurred. The offi
cers of the Cherokee Life Insurance
company announce their organization
has decided to abandon the industrial
field and devote itself entirely in the
future to old line life insurance.
The company has entered into a con
tract to transfer its industrial insur
ance to the American National Life
Insurance company, of Galveston, Tex
that company taking over with the
business, the' industrial agency force
of the Cherokee Life.
This transaction has the effect of
increasing the surplus of the Chero
kee Life, which was recently re-or
ganized on a stock basis, with a capi
tal stock fully paid up of SIOO,OOO.
The surplus now will amount to $300.-
lIERE AT HOME
Americus Citizens Gladly Testify and
Confidently Recommend Doan’s
Kidney Pills.
It is testimony like the following
that has placed Doan’s Kidney Pills
so far above competitors. When people
right here at home raise their voice in
praise there is no room left for doubt.
Read the public statement of an Am
ericus citizen:
W. A. Hardin, grocer, Elm Ave &
Furlay St., Americus, Ga., says: “I
think as highly of Doan’s Kidney Pills
as I did when I publicly endorsed
them over a year ago. I have often
recommended this remedy and I have
always heard that good results have
followed its use. 1 was subject to
attacks of kidney complaint and often
was hardly able to endure the acute
pains in my back. In my efforts to
find relief, I was induced to try
Doan’s Kidney Pills. The first few
doses relieved me and I continued tak
ing this remedy until my trouble had
entirely disappeared. I always keep
a supply of Doan’s Kidney Pills on
hand and I recommend them when
ever I hear anyone complaining of
kidney trouble.”
For sale by all dealers. Price 50
cents. Foster Milburn Co., Buffalo,

States.
Remember the name—Doan’s —and
take no other.
OF COURSE, ALL THESE
THINGS DIDN’T HAPPEN
There Would Have Been Busy Times,
If They Had.
Atlanta, June 10.—If everything had
happened yesterday that was due u
come off, it would have been the bus
iest little day since the invention of.
the Gregorian calendar and Englis.i
slang.
It was the long talked of “cold day
in June.”
How many scornful promises have
been made, to be fulfilled on that dav.
The very reporter who is writing
this story remembers a maiden who
told him in his tender youth that it
would be a cold day in June when she
married him. He can’t hold her to it,
fur he has married somebody else in
the meantime.
“It’ll be a cold day in June when '
do you another kindness,” said an At
l.-nta politician last year, “but he didn't
come around to make good.
“It'll be a cold day in June when
they hang Leo Frank,” said somebody
a couple of weeks ago, but they didn't.
“It’ll be a cold day in June when
I pay you this bill,” said the lady who
had quarreled with the corner groce ,
but she didn't come around.

The active management of the ordi
nary branch of the company has been
directed to Lloyd Damron, who will
continue as underwriting manager and
director of agencies.
It is pointed out also, as evidence of
the promise of a successful future, that
several companies in the South, ad
hering exclusively to old line insur
ance, have reached the eminence or
success in the last year or two, these
companies now carrying actual under
writing profits to surplus, while new
er old line companies are rapidly work
ing to a dividend basis.
INFLUENZA IS KOI j
HARMLESS DISEASE'
I
Real Old Grip May Have Many
Dangerous Complications
Says Georgia State Board
of Health.
Atlanta, Ga. —When influenza,
commonly called La Grippe or just
plain old “grip,” went around the 1
world in 1889-90, many were inclined
to look upon it as a harmless kind of
fashionable disease, a viewpoint that
was speedily changed in those oca
lities where hospitals became charnel
houses, though this reputation clung
to it more or less strenuously for
some years.
But its dangerous qualities have
long since become well known as a
result of the numerous and serious
complications which may attend it;
in fact, there is scarcely any organ of
the body which is immune from the
effects of it. And although it now ap
pears in milder form in the sporad.c
or epidemic cases than in the pande
mic invasion which went" around the
world, it is particular,y severe and
dangerous, says the Georgia State
Board of Health, for old persons, and
for persons who are debilitated or
weak, persons gr r en to alcholic li
quors, those who are too fat and
those suffering from heart and lung
troubles.
Influenza is an acute infectious dise
ase caused by what is known as the
bacillus of Pfeiffer, after the name
of its discoverer in 1892. It may be
communicated either by association
with persons affected or through in
halations in sections where it is or
has been prevalent. It has been known
to be contracted at sea where there
was no existing case, lending color
to the belief that the germ travels
through the air. It occurs either in
isolated cases, in epidemics or pan
demics.
Travels Around the World.
During the last century there were
four periods during which practically
every country in the world •suffered
from the unusual prevalence of this
disease. The last pandemic occurred
in 1889-91. It started in Russia and
soon spread to Germany and Eng
land. Later it appeared in New York
and rapidly spread over North Ameri
ca. Soon practically the entire civi
lized world was affected. Since that
time influenza has been constantly
present in the United States, but in
milder form.
Influenza is one of the medical
“goats,” and not infrequently the in-
I cipient stages of tuberculosis, malaria,
I ulcerated endocarditis and typhoid fe
ver are mistaken for it.
Grip may develop very suddenly,
as a rule in one to seven days. The
germs, gaining entrance to the res
piratory tract, multiply very rapidly.
All ages are suscepitble to the dise
ase, though infants under one year
old are seldom attacked. The great
est prevalence of the disease is dur
ing the winter and spring; a deficiency
of sunlight seems favorable to the
growth of the germs. One attack does
not confer immunity but seems to
predispose to others, though subse
quent attacks are not usually as se
vere. The danger lies not so much in
the disease itself as in the complica
tions which it may induce. Frequent
ly it predisposes one to au attack of
tuberculosis; it may set in action
tubercular garras which have been ly
ing dormant. A frequent accompani
ment of influenza is influenza-pneu
monia, differing from ordinary pneu
moqin in that it rarely terminates in
i a crisis, uShally dragging q£ for
weeks. Other coaijillcations are con
gestion of the kidneys and other or
gans, diseases of the heart and blood
vessels, diseases Os the ear and af
fections of the nervous system.
Symptama Os influenza.
Grip may come on very suddenly’,'
noticed first in chilly' seilsations tol
lowed by & fever which may reach
105 degrees, loss of appetite, head
ache, pain in the limbs and then a
sense of utter wretchedness. Lassi
tude, a cough, insomnia and a flush
ing of parts of the face as in scarla
tina, may accompany it. Thu patient
feels and seems desperately ill. Bron
chitis frequently develops accompan
ied by pains in the chest, and may
be followed by pneumonia. The pa
j tient becomes profoundly depressed,
I the heart action may be feeble, the
skin relaxed and clammy, hot and
i dry. Pneumonia and heart lailure
are the most frequent causes of
! death rollSwThg an attack of influenza,
j Meningitis, a particularly danger-
I ous complication, may also be caused
|by the influenza bacillus. Nervous
I >orms of the disease are quite com
! morn yarying all the way from simple
I restlessness to paralysis and insan-
I jty. Os 29,000 cases analyzed by Lee,
( 7,000 were of a nervous type.
1 Influenza being highly contagious,
it is of great importance that peisons
' suffering from It shpujd be isolated,
! and all precautions taken to prevent
I Its spread. The patient should have
j separate dishes which should b*
I washed in boiling water each time
I they are used. All linen and body
j clothing used by the patient should
[ be thoroughly boiled or soaked in a
flive per cent. solution of carbolic
acid before being sent to the laundry.
As to treatment the most important
thing to empasize is that the patient
should be treated by a competent
physician. Even in the milder cases
the patient should go to bed, as rest
is tne best possible treatment for
the disease. There is no specific
remedy for influenza. Many drugs
have been used often with good ef
fect; at other Umeß with varying de
grees of success, but these should
always be administered under the
direction of a careful physician.
Warm baths are considered helpful,
and as a general rule severe caution
is given against the use of alcoholic
stimulants. In the case of complica
tions arising from influenza, such
diseases should be treated in accord
ance with usual methods and always
under the direction of a competent
physician.
