WAS APPOINTED THREE YEARS AGO WASHINGTON, April 3 (Special co the Statesman). The liouse tariff till lor Puerto Rico, after being amend ed in the senate by the addition of the bill, providing a form of civil govern nc-.t, , and by important nodifications of fts tariff piwisions, passed the sen ate today bj- a vqte of 40 to 31. The rote in favxr of the jbjll was Republican, whiie ilie 31 negative votes were cast lciiiuviiis, xrupuusis. oivernes, and by six RepuWicans. two of whom well-known expansionists! Mr. Hoar, ano.Cier anti-expansionist, was paired against the bill. and Mr. Bevendge, of ( In-drana, was pa.ired in favor of it. I The amended "bill takes off 85 per cent-l of the tariff duties how in force b ;wecn t'lie United States and Puerto Rico, and provides that the remaining 15 per cent shall be taken off whenever the Puerto Rican legislature shall have enacted laws providing a different rev enue system for the support of tfie, in sv.lar government. The bill further provides that, in any event, there shall e-a-jsolute . free trade between Puerto Rico and United States from and after Marci 1. 1002, and tire continued free entry into Puerto Rico of, the United States products now admitted free un er the military administration. With these amendments the bill is in sub stance a free . trade measure, since it places it in the power of Vive Puerto Rieans, through their legislature, to have free trade whenever t'hey want, it, by the substitution- of such revenue measures as t'hey deem proper.

SLAUSON. fTlHE first ; Napoleon said j that the one thing JL France needed to make her great was : MOTHERS. He understood that "the hand that rocks the cradle' rales the world." There were mothers a-plenty in Frawe as nwjthers go. But whatsNapoleon wanted was mothers who should be breeders of, men ; men of stature and men of stamina, fit to follow the eagles of France through Egypt's sanjds and Russia's snows. There can be no strong: manhood where there is no strong motherhood. Strength implies health J for where there, is sound health there is also strength. The world is full of the wailing of weak and puny cniidren , wno ( will grow up to oe small 01 stature, fraif of bodv and weak of mind, a menace to the national; greatness. Who is to blame ? The mother is to blame if she does hot at least endeavor to fit herself, physically, for the duties and obliga tions of her stated j -v':p There is Inothing surer, nothing more definitely established las an undeniable fact, than that weak ivonien are made strong by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. : ' Who sayS so? The women, who out of weak ness, have been made strong, say so. The women for whom ; the pre-natal period has besn robbed of its misery. ine women for whom the birth hour has been made practi cally painless. The women who never nursed a healthy child until they used w Favorite Pre scription."' The : women whp could never nurse ta child at all before "Fa vorite Prescription" made the fountain of nourishment to flow in abundance. These aije the women, thousands in number, who. bear witness that Drl Pierce's! Favor ite Prescription makes weak women -strong and sick women well. I am so thankful for what Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription - has done for me," , writes Mrs. John T. Smith, of Slocan.B.C, Box 50.
