VV ASM 1 i\ i ?inc aununisiraive features of the bill are very omprehensive. In their preparation he Ways and Means Committee and he Finance Committee studied the eports of two Government commisions, and another report from the Jeneral Boar.d of Customs Appraisrs. Under the new legal regulations 11 merchandise imported into the Jnited States is held to be the proprty of the person to whom it is conigned or who holds the bill of lad% Invoices shall be made out in the urrency of the country where the aerchandisc is made or purchased, r agreed to be purchased, and shall ontain a description of the merchanise. It is required that a statement hall be made in the invoice of the urchase price agreed upon, and that ransactions that are actual purhascs and sales shall be entered as uch. Invoices shall have entered hereon a statement signed by the urchaser or owner setting forth that he invoice is correct. If it is a bill f sale the price agreed upon shall e staien. wnen ooiainca in any ther manner than by purchase the wholesale price in the markets of the ountry of export shall be stated, "his paragraph follows, in large leasure, provision of Section 3 of fie Payne law. except for the inserion of the words, "or when purhases are made in several places in ic Consular district, where the merhandise is assembled for shipment," nd makes changes with reference to greements to purchase. The conferees rewrote a provision I this section. It provides that 'hen merchandise arrives in the Inited States and remain's the proprty of the shipper, or consignor, the cceptance of a fraudulent or false lvoice thereof by the consignie or is agent or the existence of any ther facts constituting an attempted raud shall be deemed an attempt o enter such merchandise, notwithtanding no actual entry has been lade or offered.

Criminal and civil liability for makig false statements in regard to an lvoice are separated in the adminisrative sections of the new Tariff ct. This is a change from the Payne iw. The new law changes the provision f the Payne law that the invoice hall he sworn to before a notary ublic designated by the Secretary of he Treasury. Hereafter the invoice iay he sworn to before any notary ublic.

A Safer, More Reliable Remedy Has Taken Its Place In the Drug Store and In the Home. A few years ago, men, women and children took calomel for a sluggish liver and for constipation. They took risks when they did so, for calomel Is a dangerous drug. Your family doctor will be the first to tell you this if he discovers you dosing; yourself with calomel. But the drug trade has found a safer,more pleasant remedy than calomel in Dodson's Liver Tone. Ladd's Drug Store tells us that their drug store sells Dodson's Liver Tone in practically every case of billiousness and liver trouble where cal omel used to be taken. Dodson's Liver Tone is a vegetable liver tonic that is absolutely harmless for children and grown people. It sells for 50 cents a bottle and is guaranteed to be entirely satisfactory by Ladd's Drug Store, who will refund your money with a smile if it does not give quick, gentle Irelief without any of calomel's unpleasant after-effects. They Make You Feel Good. The pleasant purgative effect produced by Chamberlain's Tablets and the healthy condition of body and mind which they create make one feel joyful. For sale by all dealers.?
