Tariff Wall Doubled in Great
Britain
Great Britain, once the leading ex-
ponent of free trade, has doubled her
tariff of 10% to 20% on most manu-
factured goods. On a limited num-
ber of articles a lower rate of 15%
will be unposed and for certain art-
icles of luxury the total duties will
be 25 or 30 per cent. The new rates
became effective April 26th. These
increased duties on imports will not
apply to goods from Canada or other]
parts of the British Cornmonwealth

No one could have had . more
experienceof constipation than this
man. His method of correcting 'the
trouble would surely put right anybody
who suffers in a similar way.
" I am now approaching my 49th
birthday and have used Kruscben Salts
for many years. As a boy and youth
I suffered atfrequent times agonies
from constipation. This was; after a
time, somewhat relieved by a special
pill compounded to a prescription, but
whicki, at times, had a weakening effect.
On someone's recommendation I tried
a bottle of 'Kruschen Salts, and since
then -a matter of at least 20 years ago
--have used nothing else. My daily
dose I take in hot water at 7.45 a.m."

perfect health.

HEA' iAC ES,
NEURALGIA',
Whenever you have some
nagging ache or pain, take
some tablets of Aspirin.
You'll get immediate relief.
There's scarcely ever an
ache or pain that Aspirin
won't relieve—and never a
time when you can't take it.
NEURITIS
COLDS
The tablets with the
Bayer cross are always safe.
They don't depress the
heart, or otherwise harm
you. Use them just as often
as they can spare you any
pain or discomfort. fust be
sure to buy Aspirin and
not a substitute.
