14 TARIFF REVISION MUST COME SOON, SMOOTWARNING Senator Fears U. S. Markets Will Be Held by For eigners Washington, Dec. 17. —An earlj revision of the tariff was predicted yesterday by Senator Smoot, of Utah, during the debate on the pending revenue bill. Either a tariff revision must be made, he declared, or the American markets will be controlled by foreigners. Changed conditions as a result of the war and the necessities of safe guarding the native industries dur ing the reconstruction period. Sena tor Smoot contended to make im perative a revision of the Under wood-Simmons tariff law. Senator Jones, of New Mexico, asked if it was expected to substi tute the Fayne-Aldrich law for the Underwood-Simmons act. "It would be a godsend to the country, as compared with the one now on the statute books," Senator Smooth replied. "Yet 1 will say there are rates in the Pavne-Aldrich law that will never bo enacted again." An Inquiry was made by Senator Sltnmons as to whether it was thought tariff legislation should bo enacted during the expected extra session early in 1919.

Thurston. n"oear at the Or tlie Magician pheunt for three days, starting Monday, De cember 23, with matineess Tuesday and Christmas. Thurston, without Mophistoplielian peak-pointed mustachios. is the high priest of modern magic; in addition to his natural gifts he has all the ac complishments and ilgiit-tlngered deftness of all former great magici ans rolled into one lengthy and skill fully varied program. He is coming prepared to demonstrate anew that he remains superbly alone in popular amusement pre-eminence; that in pro digious proportions, splendid equip ment, modern progress and public es teem he is now "the greatest magician on earth." After he succeeded Kellar, twelve years ago. Thurston departed from the usual path 'hen trod by magicians and set for himself a high standard cf perfection that has been character istic of his success, for he sought for novelties, for the big creations and the most wonderful illusions. There is a finish and a bigness in Thurston's performance this year that is both pleasing and overwhelming, the most prominent of his new mys teries for this year deal with life in the afterworld, such as the manifes tations of spirits and the materializa tion of ghosts.

"Billie" Reeves, the famous ino- I tlon picture comedian, is also on the bill. This popular player, who has I made thousands laugh on the screen, I is just as funny in person, and as the "drunk." in the comedy, "The Right Key but the Wrong Flat." he keeps everyone in uproarious laughter. An other good comedy number on the bill is Walter Weems, who posseses a pleasing personality, and lias a line of : j material which •he puts over in a pleasing manner. Hart and Diamond present a novelty dance offering that is entertaining. Miss Hart is a wo man of remarkable muscular develop ment and holds the record of dancing for sixteen continuous hours. Flo I Water and Ollie Waters, a clever "sis ter" team, have a splendid little act that is full of good comedy and sing ing. Both are pretty and dress charmingly. That the popularity of Wallace Reid is steadily or. the increase and liis reputation for veratility At the and artistry proportionate- Itegciit ly enhanced with each pro duction, was evident in the bursts of enthusiasm and approval with which "The Source" was greeted by those who viewed this ""eduction at the Regent yesterday. On the same bill,was the Sennett Comedy, "Beware of Boarders," with Ford Sterling and Chester Conklin. The above program is repeated to-day. To-morrow's offering is "The Law of the North," with Charles llay. In this absorbing photoplay the star por trays the role of Alain De Montcalm, a strong man of the North, known as the "Eaglet." The scenes of the story are laid in and about a trading post at "the top o" the world," amid the white silence, peopled only by wild beasts, Indians and trappers.

Victoria And yet that wisp of hair turned the suspicion of the law on more than one beautiful wo man. It was a slender clue, hut It furnished the theme of one of the most thrHling and dramatic puzzles that ever confronted the metropolitan police. Who was the unknown murderer who cut short the human life, and what was the motive? Was it re venge, hate. Jealousy?. Was it money? These and other questions arise in the swiftly-moving drama of New York life, which jvns shown at the Victoria Theater yesterday under the title of "Empty Pockets."

Mac Alpine New York Post Graduate Medical School and Hospital Says that Nuxated Iron ! Is In His Opinion the Most Valuable Tonic, Strength j and Blood Builder Any Physician Can Prescribe Probably no remedy lias ever met with such phenomenal success as lias Nuxated Iron—over three million people annually are taking It in this country ulone. It has been used and highly endorsed by such distinguish ed men as: Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, for mer Secretary of the Treasury and Ex-Governor of Iowa; former United States Senator and Vice Presidential Nominee Charles A. Towne; United States Senator E. S. Johnson; Judge G. \V. Atkinson of the United States Court of Claims, of Washington; Judge Samuel S. Yoder, Statesman, Jurist, formerly Surgeon Major in tho U S. Army; U. S. Commissioner of Immigration Hon. Anthony Camlnet.tl and others. WHAT Dll. MAC ALPINE SAYSi "During sixteen years as Lecturer and Adjunct Professor of Special Sur gery (Proctology) in the New York Post Graduate Medical School and Hospital, 1 never had recourse t(P so valuable a remedy for building up the health and strength of debilitated, convalescent patients as Nuxated Iron. Severe tests recently made with Nuxated Iron have absolutely convinced me that it is a preparation of most extraordinary merit. "If people would only realize that Iron is Just as indispensable to the blood as is air to the lungs, and bo Just as particular about keeping up a sufficient, supply at all times, there would in my opinion, be far less dis ease resulting from anaemic, weak ened conditions. Por years it was a problem with physicians how to ad minister iron In a form that could bo taken up by the system and increase the red blood corpuscles without up setting the stomach, blackening the teeth or producing other disorders almost as serious as the lack of iron itself. Hut the Introduction of Nux ated Iron has done away with all ob jectionable features of the old min eral salts of iron and gives to every careful thinking phyHlclan a tried and valuable prescription which he can recommend nearly every day with benefit to his weakened and run-down patients. Nuxated Iron by enriching the blood and creating new blood cells strengthens the nerves, rebuilds the weaaened tissues and helps to instill renewed energy and endurance into the whole system i whether the patient be young or old. BURLESON TELLS 1 MOON WIRES ARE : TO BE NATION'S i i Ownership of Systems Char- ] acterized by Postmaster 1 General as Imperative j; Washington, Dec. 17.— Ownership j. by the government of the telegraph 1 j and telephone systems of the nation j / ; was characterized as "Imperative," | < Iby Postmaster General Burleson j, yesterday in a letter to Representa- |: I tive Moon, chairman of the House i committee on post offices and post ! roads. Mr. Burleson said the system j can he ucquired "without the ap- | i propriation of a dollar from the ~ j p.ubltc treasury" by applying to an | amortization fund for twenty-five j years the savings made under gov ernment ownership through elimi nation of duplications in plants and operating expenses. In support of the government ownership resolution introduced in j the House lust week by Rcpresen- j | tative Moon, the Postmaster Gen- [. era! quoted from the recent letter , of Theodore N. Vail, president of ' the American Telephone and Tele graph Company, and from tho an nual reports of a number of the postmaster generals since the Civil War, all of Whom agreed, he said, that government eontrol or owner ship would greatly contribute to the ' efficiency of service. ' I As justification for the permanent | taking over >V the wire systems, Mr. 1 Burleson said: "To establish and maintain means lof communication is as much the ; I function of the government as is tho i | provision for national defense. * i * * • Moreover, it is essential to ( (lie development of the country and ; to the progress and prosperity of its , people. It is a defense of the national interests us much in peace as in war, . * * * Extension of the wire ser- . vice should lie determined by public j | needs, not the opportunity for pri vate gain."

SPECIAL TO PHYSICIAN'S, Doctor, Wind do You Itecenifiiriul to Itenevv tlie Supply of Iron In the lllouil of People In n Weak, Nervous. Itun-dovvn Statef Dr. Mac Alpine, for 16 years Ad junct Professor in the Netv York Post Graduate Medical School and Hospital, says tlie Introduction of Nuxated Iron gives to every careful thinking physician a tried and val uable prescription which he can rec ommend nearly every day with bene fit to his weakened and run-down pa tients. - Dr. Mac Alpine's opinion is borne out by the endorsement of such physi cians as Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, for merly Visiting Surgeon St. Eliza beth's Hospital, New York; Dr. A. J. Newman, late House Surgeon, of Jef ferson Park Hospital. Chicago; Dr. James Francis Sullivan, formerly Physician of Bellevue Hospital (Out door Dept.)

Now, Doctor, when you wish to pre- 1 scribe a true tonlc.strength and'blood j builder--one that puts the vim and i energy into the veins of tlie weak, i infirm, run-down and aged—why not ( try the same kind of iron Nuxated t Iron —that Dr. Mac Alpine and other < physicians have used with such sue- 1 cess in their practice? Two five-grain 1 tablets of Nuxated Iron taken three < three times a duy after meals will J often increase the strength and en- 1 durance of delicate, nervous,, run- a down folks in two weeks' time. Your 1 druggist will refund your patient's c money if it doesn't. t In my opinion Nuxnted iron Is the most vßluable tonic, strength and blood builder any physician can pre scribe." MANUFACTURERS' NOTE: Nuxat ed Iron which is used by Dr. Mac- Alpine and others with such surpris ing results and which is prescribed and recommended by physicians, is not a secret remedy but one which is Maryland Bank Employe Is on Trial For Murder Elkton Md., Dec. 17.
